Funniest Dark Tower moments ***SPOILERS***
What are the funniest moments in the Dark Tower saga for everyone? The funniest for me is the "Lemons" scene in Song of Susannah when Eddie is telling Calvin about how his brother didn't think software was a good investment. It makes me laugh, fit to split, aye!
"It's his eyes, Roland thought. They were wide and terrible, the eyes of a dragon in human form" - Roland seeing the Crimson King for the first time.
"When the King comes and the Tower falls, sai, all such pretty things as yours will be broken. Then there will be darkness and nothing but the howl of Discordia and the cries of the can toi" - From Song of Susannah
Right now I'm listening to the Drawing of the Three and I'm just cracking up at Eddie. The way he talks to Roland has me laughing out loud.
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa

I have laughed hard at those exchanges too. Just the way he teases him all the time about being a machine.
I know they grew, but I missed that kind of stuff in the last three.
And Henry was just an idiot wasn't he?

I agree, the interactions between Roland and Eddie in early books are memorable...I think this interaction even enhanced their relationship as they grew closer.
Anytime Roland thinks of astin. There is a scene in DT7 when he says it like a sigh and with such emotion like "aah, astin." Roland can be pretty funny too.
Eddie in the early books was great.
I got a kick out the whole bumhug thing.
"Oh, I can't," he said, clutching his trousers and smiling a huge broad smile that felt like a scream trying to get out of his skin. "That pesky thing fell off last week, that did."

I personally laughed out loud several times when Jake and Oy switch bodies.

People love frozen yogurt. I don't know what to tell you.
Johnny Cash. Without question.
Yeah, I love the early back and forth banter between Eddie and Roland. So much funny stuff there.
One funny scene which always cracks me up on my re-reads is when Roland drinks the Pepsi that Eddie bought him. Roland: "My God! It's sweet!" I can just picture that so well in my mind. Really, I just love all of Roland's interactions with things he doesn't understand from our world, lots of humor to be had.
In the early books when he referes to "Ka" as "Kaka (poopoo)".
Ahh, I thought about reading the series again, but I may get the audio books instead, give my eyes a rest.
*edit*
"He" being Eddie of course!
i was listening to that at work last week and i laughed so hard i ended up bent over holding my stomach and hardly breathing, two people came over to see what was wrong and that just made me laugh harder.
The Sammich Scene in 7.
"I'd prefer a sauce that didn't look so much like come myself"
and "Let's go, I'll eat my come and cheese sandwich while I drive"
I liked when Oy intro'd himself in Calla.....Oy, Eld, Thankee!!
That was another great part for me too.

Another funniest moment of the saga!

Ha Ha Ha I was going to say the Sammich scene also, Some times Roland was so clueless.
Come and cheese sandwich is the funniest scene for me, too.

The horizon is right and motionless like the EKG of a dying woman.
I don't know, the "bumhug" jokes had me laughing quite a bit as they went on.

I was laughing like mad when, after those Calla people sitting in the back of the room started hail-marying, -
Maybe it was me being Catholic and him being a Catholic priest, or maybe it's because I was so very wound up emotionally, bursting with some almost ecstatic gratitude having recognized my favorite character, my long-lost Father from 'Salem's Lot in the Old Fella, - but it struck me as about the funniest thing I've ever heard."Bag it," Callahan snapped. "Save it for Sunday."
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)

Bumhug....hehe.

Tuter Fish always gave me a chuckle.
for some reason, I was laughing out loud when Callahan was describing the jail scene when he hit bottom. The way Stephen King wrote it had me in stitches. My hubby asked me what was so funny, as I was in histarics, and I tried to explain but couldn't. Sometimes stuff that isn't supposed to be funny just is.
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa
