YMMV / Thud!

• Genius Bonus:
  • There is a case of a museum leaving the empty frames of stolen artwork on display.
  • During the magically-accelerated coach ride, Vimes notices that the landscape appears slightly bluish when he looks ahead, and slightly reddish when he looks behind: Blueshift and redshift^note light on the disc moves at about the speed of sound.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In the book, one of the paintings is stolen, leaving just the frame and a blank section of wall; Nobby suggests a rename to "Art Theft". In 2021 a Danish artist was commissioned to recreate two of his other paintings, which consisted of actually-real-money on a canvas; he turns in blank canvases, which end up being displayed by the museum. And at some point during the process, he gives his project the title... "Take the Money and Run". (He was eventually ordered to refund the money intended for use in the piece, though he was allowed to keep his artists' fee for creating the piece.)
• Informed Wrongness: Tawneee (real name, Betty) dating Nobby Nobbs. When Angua, Sally and Cheeri find out that she is an absolute bombshell, they take it upon themselves to find out exactly why she is subjecting herself to Nobby Nobbs, and it turns out she has some self-confidence issues due to being So Beautiful, It's a Curse... upon which they take it upon themselves to try and "fix" the situation, implicitly so she will break up with Nobby. But the fact remains that, from what Tawneee says about their relationship, he's a perfect gentle... man? to her and she actually likes him, yet Nobby scoring someone so beautiful is apparently against the order of things and must be rectified. Nobby actually breaks up with her, though, because her cooking is awful and he doesn't mind just being her friend.
• It Was His Sled: If you can somehow manage to hear anything about this book without seeing the phrase "THAT! IS!! NOT!!! MY!!!! COW!!!!!", you are very lucky.
• The Woobie: You can't help but feel sorry for Brick after a while. Maybe even instantly. Helmclever as well.
