Okay, this is the longer one since SD3 has six characters (double that then SoM's three only). Here I go:

SD3: In this game the different characters together and alone result in many humerous scences.

Duran (attitude based humour): Duran doesn't make any mistakes that lead to humour so to speak. However, his "stiff" and noble attitude leaves him vulernable to characters like Hawkeye and Angela that can joke and make fun of him very easily. And since his so serious about it, this only adds to the humour. One example is when Duran tells his two partners to please skip this house as it's his and he promised only to return after defeating Koren. This resulted in Angela saying "Hmm that's too bad, I really wanted to see your room. But I guess that's ok if your trying to hide something like your porno collection" (Angela laughs). Duran: "Oh shut up!" (Get's shocked).

Angela (attitude based humour): Angela likes Duran very much, but she also likes to joke around and tease him too. She has a kind of ToP Arche perverted humour that doesn't go to far (being grapic or nasty), but it's a really funny thing to see. Some examples are her Pink Typoon attack and slapping Duran, Hawkeye and Kevin in Jad's inn during the Beastmen's occupation of the port city. She thought that they were trying to do something while she was asleep.

Hawkeye (attitude based humour): Hawkeye has a charming way towards women like ToP Klarth, but not that far. He also likes to annoy Duran sometimes, but doesn't as much as Angela. One of these scences is when he trys to catch a date in Jad's bar during the Beastmen's occupation with Angela and Lise.

Lise (attitude based humour): Lise like Duran, has funny scenes only when someones else annoys her. The first scence of this is in one of Jad's buildings during the Beastmen occupation. She asks the character talking to her if they have seen her younger brother and if answered yes, she asks where excitedly. Of course the character doesn't know so she gets fed up first then apologises and thanks them for trying to cheer her up.

Kevin (attitude based humour): Kevin is more serious and a some what cold/distant character which doesn't have many humours scences. One of the first humerous scenes with him is in the port city of Jad where he runs away scared from Lugar and the other Beastmen during their occupation in Jad. He also gets frightened when a character talks to him in one of Jad's shops thinking that one of the Beastmen or Lugar had found him.

Carlie (attitude and default based humour): Carlie has both types of humour based elements to her as she isn't very intelligent, makes laughable mistakes and has a cute funny attitude. Carlie is the character that has the most funny scences in the game and still has a lot even if she isn't in your team. Here's some examples from the many: In Wedel - Carlie foolishly bumbs into Heath, gets dragged by the preists to stay inside today, asks Mick to help her escape to find Heath or she'll "beat him" and can't read a book from the book shelf. In the Cave of Waterfalls - Carlie is crying for help as she's almost to fall. If you try to leave the screen, she will say "Your just going to leave me here? You big meanie!". You can exit where you came from but you can't leave to procede to the other side until you save her. The main character will have no comment: "...". There will also be a pretty funny scene of her falling down the waterfall and you coming right in time to save her. In Forest Land Diorre - Carlie gets mad that the characters in your party left her alone in the "scray forest".

I find it funnier in the part with Carlie falling down the waterfall in the Cave of Waterfalls, that you can wait there non-stop and look at her or leave the screen and come back in a couple of days and she is still there. I would have made the main character to grab her automaticly whem entering the scene with her hanging from the waterfall. It's also funny that she doesn't call for help more and that your partner doesn't comment on you doing nothing at all to help her when standing around or exiting the screen the way you came. Once again I also would have made the characters or one of them at least say, "we have to get her first" or something to that effect.

Okay, I'm finally done. I've got a few more things to write like with the mythology and lore in SoM and SD3 (and maybe even SwoM if I have the time). After that, I'm pretty much done with writing SoM and SD3 stuff unless I get another idea or someone asks me too.

Edit: I'm not sure if the quotes are 100% correct for SoM and SD3 since I didn't play them for a while. I did check some of them and they are in fact correct. I pretty much beat these games time and time over as well as many others which I will do again pretty soon.
