Examples of jokes I think Danny would make daily, but I haven't managed to write them into any of my fics yet:
Sam: Could you pass the remote?
Danny: You can pry it from my cold, dead hands.
Danny hands it over with no fuss.
-
Tucker: Hey, pass the ketchup
Danny: Over my dead body!
Danny arcs the ketchup over his head as he passes it to Tucker.
-
Jazz, calling through the house: Danny?! Where are you??
Danny on his bed: ON MY DEATH BED
-
Danny walking into any room, anywhere, at any given moment: this place is haunted
The joke is that it’s him. He's the ghost haunting it. Sam and Tucker hate this one because of how often he says it.
-
Goes ghost before he uses the phrases "You killed me" or "I'm dead" when something is funny.
-
Jazz whacks him over the head. (deserved)
Danny goes ghost the second her hand makes contact: MURDERER
-
Jazz: could you help me with-
Danny: I can't. I'm dead.
-
The classic "I guess I'll die" gag.
Tucker: You should probably go deal with that ghost, huh?
Danny: I guess I'll die
Goes ghost and flies off.
-
Dash: How about you eat shit and die
Danny: Well, I've already done one of those things.
Dash: D:
-
Sam, could be talking about literally anything: I would rather die
Danny: Same.
Sam: -_-
-
Sam: Danny, what did you do?!
Danny, who messed up: .....Deadmen tell no tales.
-
Danny, anytime anyone accidentally wakes him up: you're being loud enough to awaken the dead.
-
Danny: Paulina looks so pretty today
Sam: Seriously? You still have a crush on her? You know she'll never like you back.
Danny: you're being necrophobic

i dont understand why people are upset that there are changes in the show. you are letting nostalgia clog your view, changes are made for a number of reasons; sometimes book physics are different then real life physics, sometimes its to give previous fans something to speculate about. i love when good changes are made!! the characters are in character and the story is similar enough to the original that it feels actually like a percy jackson adaptation! if it was directly point for point adapted from the book it would be a) boring and b) hard! its a first person pov book, thats hard to pull of in a tv show!! im sorry you were expecting a line for line direct translation and got disappointed but you did that to yourself. adaptations are rarely that, no matter what its being adapted to

I guess that this is as good of a time as any to remind people that WRITERS MAKE THE STORY!!!! I cannot count how many times I see posts praising tv directors for things that are simply not their doing. That iconic line of dialogue? Yeah a screenwriter wrote that. The characters you love? Screenwriter. The places, the plot lines, the developments? Writers.
A show CANNOT happen without a script because a script is necessary for EVERYONE to do their job right. It dictates what set to look for/create, the filming schedule, the casting calls, the costumes and so on. It's not just words on a paper, its the backbone for all of production and it deserves to get recognised as the integral part of tv and film as it is.
