* CrazyIsCool: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Mad]] the dwarf who ends up giving Rincewind a ride, which quickly descends into a ''Film/MadMax'' like chase. He then later stands up for an extremely drunk Rincewind and starts a bar brawl.

** Mrs Whitlow, the formidable head of housekeeping at the Unseen University. While she briefly appeared in other ''Discworld'' titles, ''The Last Continent'' gives her a chance to shine. She manages to remain prim and proper while also surviving on a desert island thousands of years in the past, but isn't above making an oversized bikini, or a ''newzealand'', to wear and is the only one brave enough to explain how sex works to the bewildered God of Creation. For added amusement is the fact that the majority of the wizards keep falling over themselves to make her happy and even squabble like children for her attention.
** Trickster, the supernatural entity who often manifests as the kangaroo who helps Rincewind on his quest to bring back the rain. His sarcastic yet helpful nature plays along wonderfully with Rincewind's frequent exasperation, and Trickster's sense of humour amounts to letting Rincewind get into trouble, only to help him at the very last second. Of note is the time he spends as Snowy, a tiny horse who determinedly plods his way down cliffs and overhangs of rock while Rincewind can only cling on for dear life.

* FridgeBrilliance: There's a passing mention in ''Discworld/{{Hogfather}}'' that pencils in Discworld aren't manufactured, but ''grown'' as stems of a type of bush native to Sumtri. Considering how many other utensils started sprouting from the Mono Island vegetation, it's quite possible that this is where that bush's ancestors came from.
** More FridgeBrilliance: Ponder's and Ridcully's discussion of how stepping on an ant might change the future takes on new depths of irony when you realize that they're only '''having''' the conversation ''because of a single ant.'' Specifically, the one that the Lady arranged to divert from its course through Hex's tubing, at the end of ''Discworld/InterestingTimes'', thus causing Rincewind to be teleported to Fourecks rather than back to UU. If not for that one ant, the faculty wouldn't have had any reason to visit the office where the portal to Mono Island could be found, in the first place.
** FridgeBrilliance meets ContinuityNod: When fleeing from the police in Bugarup, Rincewind is dismayed and amazed by how the pursuing officers stay on his tail. Aside from a very brief sojourn in ''Interesting Times'', Rincewind hasn't been in Ankh-Morpork since the events of ''Sourcery'', so has completely missed the rebirth of his home city's Watch in the wake of ''Guards Guards!''. He only remembers how lazy and fearful the Watch ''used'' to be, and is probably quite astonished to see what's become of them once he gets home at last.
** Possibly just a coincidence, but waaaaaay back in ''Discworld/EqualRites'', Granny Weatherwax told Mrs. Whitlow's fortune via tea leaves, and predicted (i.e. made up) a future in which several young men would vie for her ample favors. Even though she was just telling the customer what she thought Mrs. Whitlow wanted to hear, it seems the only thing she got wrong was the would-be paramours' age!
* FridgeLogic: The god of evolution mentions having had believers at some point, as well as experimenting on a cow he wanted to make more inflammable. If so, how does he not recognise the wizards as humans or, indeed, not know the most popular way of producing new generations, or even about different sexes? What sort of believers (or cows) did he have?
** FridgeBrilliance hits again when you realize that his lack of believers may have affected his memory. As demonstrated in ''Small Gods'', gods without belief tend to regress mentally and, amongst other things, tend to lose memory.
** It's established that the Fate of Discworld came there from another eventuality, so it's also possible that the God of Evolution is likewise an immigrant to the region. In which case, the followers ([[CallASmeerpARabbit and cows]]) in question might not have been humans, or even organic life forms for that matter: for all we know, they and their "cows" really ''did'' reproduce by binary fission.
** Alternately, everyone ''back then'' was also far too embarrassed to explain.
