So, what's the verdict? Are his early works funny but not very good?
Are his recent works as funny as he gets? Something else altogether?

I didn't think any of them were comedic, and I didn't care. I don't
read for funny, when I want that I view or listen to professional
comedians. The books were often humorous. There were two scenes that
actually made me laugh in all the Discworld books I read.

1. When a bandit attempts to rob Chancellor Ridcully and is turned into
a pumpkin. Lords and Ladies, I think. An otherwise unpleasant book that
I didn't enjoy.

2. When the angels came to get the Little Match Girl in Hogfather.
