One of the best things about discworld is that the whole thing is just a giant genre tug-of-war, and genre shifts are sometimes very dangerous. Get too much magic in a place? Well, then it shifts from funny ironic fantasy to full on major high fantasy, which sounds fun until you realize that high fantasy has dragons and otherworldly monsters. A fairy godmother makes everything fairytale, but the sheer force of cliches sort of eliminates free will. A pair of skilled killers come to the city hoping to take it by the shorthairs, but keep on getting traumatized by the various monsters that are just around. There's a politician very aware of how the story keeps dangerously veering into lovecraftian horror. The elves from fairyland actually turn the genre into alien horror, not whimsical fantasy. I know people say that "discworld is sci-fi in fantasy clothes" and that has a lot of truth to it, but that shortchanges the constantly shifting barroom brawl of genres that is the discworld.

thinking non-stop about the Terry Pratchett Method of Deconstruction (TM) and how it works

[...] the wages of sin is death, but so is the salary of virtue, and at least the evil get to go home early on Fridays. (Witches Abroad)

Take a common concept, metaphor, idiom, trope etc. "The wages of sin is death."

Invert, reverse or subvert it to highlight the inconsistency or issue. "But so is the salary of virtue." (Well, actually, everybody dies, right?)

While everybody's contemplating the philosophy revealed, overextend the metaphor and whack them in the back of the head with the joke like a comedic quintain while they aren't expecting it. "At least the evil get to go home early on Fridays."

He does it quite often and I love it every time.
