Funny / The Once and Future Nerd

• In "The Worthiest Knight", Regan and Brennen try to mentally reconstruct the events that led to a tavern blowing up while their friends were there. Their stories are pretty colored by their individual worldviews and their views on their friends... the only one they agree perfectly on is Nelson.
  • Brennens version features "students discussing... studently matters" as the companions enter:
  Male student: My studies are about how House Guernatal is the greatest and most righteous of the Great Houses.
  Female student: I agree, but tell me more!
  Nelson: I read a story like this!
  Billy: Silence, you less-of-a-man-than-I!
  Jen: (inane giggle) Oh, how clever you are, Billy!
  • Regan's version is a slightly cruder version, and contains some extra digs at Yllowyyn and Nia:
  Male student: Uh...book learning, book learning, book learning.
  Female student: Ooh, I’m so impressed! You wanna congress me? Is that how rich people say it? Congress me really hard against the wall out back!
  Nelson: I read a story like this!
  Billy: I like tits.
  Jen: (exaggeratedly syrupy) Whatever you say, sweetie honey sugar pie!
  Yllowyyn: Oh, [unintelligible but obnoxious murmur]
  Nia: Why don't you go find seating while I visit the privy? I need to wash some library dust out of my criminally neglected fuckhole.
• Yllowyyn's storyline in "What Used to be Enough" starts fairly serious, with him returning home to his family to find out if elven bigotry and brutality really is as bad as he overheard and starting to get some suspicions that it is... but turns into pure comedy as he is forced to travel back to his human friends accompanied by a flock of carrier pigeons and their keeper D'ay-vaad, whom Yllowyyn absolutely hates and who spends the entire journey talking about his favorite book series Duel of Crones (a thinly-veiled Game of Thrones parody). Yllowyn gets so fed up that he secretly takes some of Yllodyk's cannis root and spends the rest of the journey high as a kite... only to then, at the very end of the episode come barging in like an Accidental Big Damn Hero on one of the tensest, most dramatic scenes in the story: Arlene is about to be executed by Ry'ylo-Th'yyt, when some pigeons suddenly show up and crap on Ry'ylo-Th'yyt's head, distracting her enough to stay the kill... and then Yllowyyn, still high as a kite, enters the scene with a "Sorry, those are mine! I left the cage open by mistake!"
• It gets even better at the opening of the following chapter, when both Arlene and Ry'ylo-Th'yyt try to tell him what's going wrong and he's initially too stoned to grasp it.
  Arlene: The Lord Commander intends to murder me and make it look like Orcs! A violation of the Second Concordat! As a noble-born daughter of the House Redmoor, I petition you for redress before the High Council!
  Ry'ylo-Th'yyt: (at almost the same time) She is lying, Yllowyyn! She's a traitor and she would use your acquaintance with her to turn you against the law, your morals and your better judgment. Do not fall for it!
  Yllowyyn: (pause, then stoned giggle) Wha-aa?!
