Comedy in BSC

Mmm... Abby's ashma in Aloha made me laugh.

BSC in the USA had some good ones. One that I remember in particular was when Dawn was explaining the whole RV setup in the beginning and is going on about how her dad is borrowing his from that art-dealer friend and that he's then going to fly back to Connecticut, and then Jeff cuts in with something like "With his RV tucked under his airplane seat?" That made me laugh for days when I was seven.

That book was full of one-liners that I found hilarious - "UNIDENTIFIED FLYING BAGEL," for one. And when somebody asks Watson what RV stands for, he answers "Ridiculous Vehicle!" I still LOL at that one, if only because my parents are RV fanatics travel-wise. I don't think we've flown anywhere in years - they'd take the RV to Europe if there was a long enough bridge.

Jeff is really funny, except when he's trying to be a comedian.

^ My favorite Jeff moment is in Here Come the Bridesmaids when he is getting annoyed about answering the same questions and says he should make himself a sign ;D He does bother me when he's trying to be funny, though. I think that is also why I don't care for Abby's humor. It seems really forced somehow, even though I'm sure it's probably not.

I was skimming through Dawn's Wicked Stepsister and saw something that I hadn't noticed before that made me laugh. When Claudia is babysitting for the Pikes, and the kids are playing Hospital, Claire is acting as Margo's little boy who has fallen down the stairs and Margo tries to pick Claire up but isn't strong enough to do so, so she just drags her across the floor by her legs... I don't know why, but I find that a really funny image ;D

^ That is a good one ;D I'm picturing that now, too.

In some LS book, Sam answers the phone saying "Brewer-Thomas Summer Home. Some are home, some are not." That definitely made me laugh.

I don't think this was mentioned yet. From Mary Anne's Bad Luck Mystery. When they're all going to the cemetery and Mallory says she always holds her breath when she goes past a cemetery but she doesn't know how long she can hold it for. Everyone tried to be polite about it except for Charlie who laughed out loud. I always laughed at Charlie laughing.

;D I think it's in Karen's Birthday but I'm not positive. He also mentions this in Babysitters at Shadow Lake.

Even when I was little, I found Kristy's "date" with Winston Churchill in The Truth About Stacey to by hysterically funny. I think when I first read it, I had just learned who Winston Churchill was, so it was even funnier to me. That was seriously one of my favorite parts of the graphic novel, when they're all giggling like crazy about that.

I think it's in Kristy and the Snobs when Dawn is saying something about all the junk food Claudia eats...Claudia says it makes her happy, and if she didn't eat it she would be sad, and a "skinny, pale rabbit" like Dawn. (I don't know if that's exactly how it went, but it always made me laugh).

[wenonah4th]

You have to wonder why Winston Churchill was the first name that jumped to Kristy's mind.

I seriously doubt this one was intentional, but I always found the rat picture in Logan Bruno, Boy Baby-sitter pretty funny as a little kid.
Another moment was in Mary Anne Breaks the Rules where Mary Anne starts crying into Logan's shirt and Logan says something like 'I guess it needed washing anyway.' Dorky, but funny.

I loved that. I have actually answered the phone that way a number of times (except I didn't say "Brewer-Thomas," I said my actual last name, of course). I was thinking about this last week for some reason, although I didn't answer the phone this way last week.

I think that was in Hello Mallory Which also had a lot of other amusing moments in it! I find it hillarious when Claudia acts really haughty by saying "And really! You're drawing of the divestive system was terrible" and Mal corrects her. Classic ;D
