One thing I like about the Choices books is their humor, ranging from well-timed pop culture references to banter between characters. Almost every book, regardless of genre, has a decent number of laugh-out-loud moments. So I thought I'd list a few from each series. Feel free to share your favourite funny moment as well. For reference, each nameable character will have their default name.

It Lives Beneath

 * In the very first chapter Elliot comments on how hungry he is, despite having eaten five corndogs and most of Harper's gummy bears at the movies. He tries to justify his hunger by claiming that he's overdue for a growth spurt.
 * Tom's reaction to a customer calling him "Boat Boy":
 * Tom: Bro, I just spent four hours elbow-deep in your boat's engine so it won't explode during your next joyride. Maybe learn my name?
 * The fact that one of the hors d'oeuvres served at the yacht party is black truffle bagel bites with gold flakes. It goes to show just how rich and pretentious some of the Pine Springs residents are.
 * After the events of Chapter 1 Harper collapses onto their bed, exhausted. Moments later, Elliot protests that he picked that same bed. Harper states that nothing short of a forklift will move them from the bed.
 * When Harper shows up to Ned Mallory's house, Ned's initial response:
 * Ned (to Harper): What, the cops get tired of telling me I'm crazy, so they sent you instead?!

Perfect Match

 * The fact that one of Khaan Mousavi's aliases was Richard Cummings. The jokes about his name were inevitable.
 * Kai: Do you think his friends call him Di--
 * Damien: Ugh, why are you like this?
 * Sloane's first attempt at trash-talking during the orientation week in Chapter 8:
 * Sloane: My project will beat your project so hard, it will make your mother fat. And also, I'm having sexual relations with her.
 * Both Cecile's and Damien's reactions if you ask Cecile to make out in the final chapter. You also get an "achievement" called Unquenchable Thirst, with the description "Seriously, Kai?".

Big Sky Country

 * This priceless line from Cliff, just before he tears up the Agrocorp contract:
 * Cliff (to Garrett Redmond): Kiss my wrinkled white ass!
