My vote goes to Covenant's reply to the Elders of Soaring Woodhelven after he whacked Baradakas with the lomillialor and knocked him out:
"Now why don't you tell me one more time how this thing rejects me."
Most amusing part of the Chronicles?

All great moments! Most of the ones that make me laugh out loud are usually dark or ironic. Jay hinted at it - I have a very dark sense of humor at times. There are plenty enough of those "You should have seen that coming" moments... *insert rueful snort* Then there are scenes of Andelain, the Plains of Ra... I sometimes laugh for joy at the beauty inherent in these places. Makes it all the more painful when reading the Second Chronicles.
I love Amok and Vain, too. Two tools created for a specific purpose, they both had unique personalities (antithetical in relation to each other) that I found very enjoyable to read.

Yeah, Amok and Vain were great.
Vain was a fun character, because for the first three books, you just keep laughing over the sort of on-going joke that, "Well...he doesn't really do anything" and then at the very end you find out, "Oh...so there was a reason for him to follow Covenant around for 3 figgen books" Heh.
It's been so long since I've read these things. Or at least it feels like a long time. Heh. But yeah, it's hard to remember specific parts that made me laugh. Like I said before, it doesn't help that I have such a strange sense of humor. I tend to find humor in pretty much anything. And I seem to just fall for irony every time. Heh.-jay
