* P.T. Barnum's escaped elephant running through during the Draft Riots is also rather hilarious, especially due to the Irish gangs' reaction. One thought for certain seemed to have this going through their minds: "Has the world gone mad?" Especially (to me at least) that the Irish were thought to be mad for chaos and crazy for war (reference to [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Funny/Braveheart Stephen the Irishman]].

* In a darkly comic scene, two rival volunteer fire companies brawl out a territory dispute, ''ignoring the actual blaze and the people looting the house''. The two chiefs, including Boss Tweed, overlook the fight and have a heated discussion over whose land they're on. (This, believe it or not, was TruthInTelevision.) Eventually Bill shows up and Tweed wins the right to put out the fire, Bill complains that by this point the fire's burned anything of value -- so Tweed gives to the order for his fire brigade to take down the next building to prevent the fire from spreading, and also loot everything inside. The owner of the house protests that there's nothing wrong with it and is promptly punched in the face.
