- The hotel manager in Combray, with his customary Hurricane of Malapropisms. What makes it especially funny is that every time the Narrator goes back to the hotel, out pops the manager and Proust lets him go on for a page or so.
- Similarly, the description of the narrator getting stuck in the revolving door of the hotel, especially given that it is rendered in Proust's signature deadpan and verbose style of writing.
