My personal favorite is Keyla's discussion with the vermin guards about the "fever" in MTW  :D.

"Right then, I'll die here, but I'll take a few of you with me.  Well, come on, froggies.  Who's first?  Or are you going to sit there clicking and grocking until I die of old age!"

Old stories told by travellers, Great songs that bards have sung, Of Mossflower summers, faded, gone, When Redwall's stones were young. Great Hall fires on winter nights,
The legends, who remembers,Battles, banquets, comrades, quests,Recalled midst glowing embers.Draw close now, little woodlander

Basil's diversion in Redwall. Hilarious!

When Swinkee cries over his tail in Salamandastron. I know we've mentioned it before, but I simply must again for the utter awesomeness that it is: Swinkee's accent is HILARIOUS. Over and out.  8)
Redwall is always open, its tables laden, to you and any of good heart.

In Rakkety Tam, when the Redwallers are all in the gatehouse puzzling over the riddle, and Brookflow starts giggling like crazy while demolishing a scone.  :D

There's a few moments I remember fondly.

"Salamandastron": Ferahgo gets burned by scorching hot water, and Klitch has a big grin on his face. Always funny when it happens to somebody else.

"Martin the Warrior": Pallum mimicking The Warden's "I am the law!" I was disappointed when the mocking didn't appear in the TV show.

"Legend of Luke": Beauclaire ranted about a bunch of things, then Vurg's response was "You didn't say wot wot." In the same book, Beauclaire was saying nonsense nautical terms, he was asked whether he knew what any of that meant, and he replied no.

"Lord Brocktree": Dotti's mad at her pals for forcing a boring job on her, so she revises the instructional diagram she was given, making Ruff fat among other things. Eventually the pals return, and Ruff takes a look and says "Oi, that ain't the way I drew it."

"Triss": Scarum getting his teeth stuck in the boat.

"Rakkety Tam": Yoofus is gloating that he knows the woods like he knows his wife's face. Doogy calls his bluff and covers his wife's face, asking what color her eyes are. Yoofus makes a wrong guess, leading his wife to scream at him.

"High Rhulain": Cuthbert yells "HAHAAR!", waking up Tiria like a bucket of ice cold water.

"Eulalia!": Some goodbeast threw a snake at Kurdly's face. "But [the snake's] tail landed in the fire. This move did not improve the snake's temper."

Just about anything with Basil Stag Hare is funny.  Book or tv show.

This bit in Mattimeo:
Mangiz:' I will not stand here to be insulted by this hedgepig!'
Ambrose: 'Then stand somewhere else and I'll insult you there, featherbag!'
XD!
Also in Mossflower, when Trubbs and co. talk in sequence. LOL.

Beau in legend of Luke was simply the best! Funniest character I've seen!
"Cowards die a thousand times, a warrior only dies once. The spirits of all you have slain are watching you, Vilu Daskar, and they will rest in peace now that your time has come. You must die as you have lived, a coward to the last!" -Luke the warrior

Skalrag of Marshank

I have a few:

The "Flurgy Twinj" in Martin the Warrior.
When Tess told Vitch there was a bee on his tail and slapped it with a thorn branch in Mattimeo.
When Vitch thinks he got bitten by a pike in the Mattimeo TV series.
Threeclaws: Are you sure it was a pike?
Vitch: Well, it wasn't a tadpole. XD

There are so many funny moments it's hard to choose, but here's one that's always been a favorite of mine (and that always makes me laugh:

'"Supreme sacrifice, wot? Chap keepin' another chap afloat in a bally swamp with his harolina. Not many'd do that y'know. Bet Hon Rosie'd think it was a jolly noble effort on my part- fact I'm sure she would!" He turned to the big frilled lizard that was following him. I mean to say, a chap's harolina is a very personal possesion, wot? Omigosh! Eulaliaaa!" Tarquin suddenly brained the lizard with the harolina, knocking it flying into the swamp.'
---Mariel of Redwall

Love that bit. By the way, I'm new here. Hi everybody! *waves*

The part in Mossflower where Martin and Gonff are sitting in Kotir's prison cells, having acquired their escape tools, and Martin says "Goodness me, a stick. How helpful. We could take this place single-pawed with a stick. What a useful thing to send us." Cracks me up every time! Matrin has a great sense of humor.  ;D
