-->'''Rod''': I think my friend is, uh... ''gay''.
-->'''Christmas Eve''': What wrong with that? You know, Rod, gay people make major contribution to art, philosophy, and literature for many hundreds of years now.
-->'''Rod''': Oh, but my friend isn't an artist, he's a ''Republican''. And an investment banker.
-->'''Christmas Eve''': Oh... well, tell him to stay in closet then. He good for nothing.

* The Australian cast performing "Internet is for Porn" at a comedy gala is funny in itself, but special mention goes to Kate's puppeteer Michala Banas. The line "you're ruining my song" is delivered utterly deadpan (which makes it funnier) and her facial expressions are priceless. (Partially justified as she's an actress and also partially justified in that it's a comedy gala)

* The animation sequences. Especially "Five nightstands! Four nightstands! ...One night stand!")
* As part of touring production that visited Omaha, during The Money Song, the actors all got back to the stage, Christmas Eve says "How much did we get?" And Princeton responds with "Well, besides this ticket stub to the Huskers game, not much at all."
