On “The Other Place” I remember seeing lots of threads about your favourite line, joke or quote in the series. And those threads were fun, but ultimately it’s always the heavy hitters being repeated over and over.
So my question to you, Lemmings and Kbinauts, is what is your favourite underrated line in the series? Something that makes you laugh, or makes you think, every time but you never see talked about?
Yes, this whole thread is just an excuse to post about how much I adore the following description from Moving Pictures:
It looked like a large, ornate pot, almost as high as a man of large pot height.
Honourable mention goes to my second fave, also in fact from Moving Pictures and the best side character in the series:
Sunnink dreadful in there, he thought. Prob’ly tentacled fings that rips your face off. I mean, when you finds mysterious doors in old hills, stands to reason wot comes out ain’t going to be pleased to see you. Evil creatures wot Man shouldn’t wot of, and here’s one dog wot don’t want to wot of them either.
I’ve read both of these gods know how many times, and still laugh out loud every single time.
Go on, share your favourites!
Not that underrated, but don’t see it around as much as it deserves too. From The Truth:
“There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What’s up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don’t think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Who’s been pinching my beer? And at the other end of the bar the world is full of the other type of person, who has a broken glass, or a glass that has been carelessly knocked over (usually by one of the people calling for a larger glass) or who had no glass at all, because he was at the back of the crowd and had failed to catch the barman’s eye.”
