I always thought Scrooge's expression, when he pretends to enjoy his much-loathed parsnip pudding in The Golden Fleecing (incidentally the first Barks comic I ever read in a Whitman Dynabrite book) was hilarious.

Yes. That one is right up there with the absolute best, along with Donald's fear of shrinking shower scene.
One Don Rosa gag that's always in the back of my mind is from The Last Lord of Eldorado, when they're at the South American monastery going through the old archives. I love learning about history and I've done the occasional online genealogical research, so I lap that sort of thing up. Then Rosa takes the piss:
Donald: Poor box donations from 1563... candle receipts from 1599... AHA! Scrooge: WHAT? What is it? Donald, sarcastically: A spider from 1587! Cute, huh?
Yesterday, in my house's attic, i came across a Disney magazine from my childhood years and remembered another gem: At a ''criminals school'', the teachers asks the Beagle Boys ''how can you steal without leaving fingerprints''? And the answers they give are: -''You don't use your hands'' -''You send someone else to do it'' -''You just don't steal''
My funniest moment ever is when Donald gets very angry at his nephews for reading science fiction in "Stranger than Fiction". The whole story is hysterical! The problems of Donald with Gyro's teleportation machinery is hilarious. And there is not much reasons for Donald to be that mad, that's why it's so funny!
The funniest scene I can remember from a Disney Comics story is in Barks' "Voodoo Hoodoo", in which Donald is in the shower, and hen is scared of a zombie giving him a Voodoo doll that will prick his finger and shrink him. The bottom of his shower has its boards eaten through by rats or gophers, and Donald's feet and legs have fallen lower, but he hasn't noticed. But he is now way too low to be near the showerhead. So, he has such a look of terror on his face. Somehow it strikes me very, very funny. Unfortunately, my 3rd party image hosting website has now asked me to pay an annual fee. But, I refuse. So, I must find a new free hosting website. I've been directed to a couple of those. The first was way too complicated to set up the account. So, I gave up.
I had posted a scan of that previously on a thread similar to this one on DCF.
--Herman the hermit's joy at finding out what HDL have to sell in Barks's "Land of the Totem Poles": "A steam calliope!" The first time you read that story, that panel is hilarious.
--Donald's over-the-top-absurdly precise rainmaking in the first pages of Barks's "The Master Rainmaker"
--more Barks...Donald: "The Screaming Cowboy! I wrote that song, mister!" / "You don't say! You look healthy enough, otherwise!"
--post-giant-pumpkin-collision in Rosa's "Fit To Be Pied": Louie: "What's the last thing you remember?" Donald: "Orange!"
William Van Horn is most likely to make me laugh out loud when people are falling through the air. Jones: "Why do the fates despise me so?" in "Deck Us All"; Hank the Hermit: "Mother told me there would be days like this!" in "The Ghost of Kamikaze Ridge."
Thanks. I tried it, but you sent me to "Login", but I can't log in, as I am not a member. But there was no way for me to navigate to where I could join. Can you please give me a link to the sign-up page. I am constantly sent to the "Login Page" when trying to find the website's Home Page.
