History Funny / Hamilton

** Even better, the whole song has been staged with the background dancers ferrying the single page letters back and forth between Burr and Hamilton. When he tells Burr about his itemized list they very formally line up and deliver a page of the letter...then another...then another...then another until Burr has the whole, no doubt very detailed list of disagreements. Sweet Jesus is right.
*** In the live staging, the last letters are brought by a female chorus member ''en pointe'' (as much as you can in knee high boots) and flapping the letters like she's in ''Theatre/SwanLake''. She hands him the penultimate page, waits for a beat, and then she gives the final page with a "Gotcha!" expression.

-->'''Angelica:''' Burr you disgust me.\\

'''Burr:''' You know Clemont Street?\\

* This exchange from "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story".
-->'''Eliza:''' I raise funds in D.C. for the Washington Monument.\\
'''Washington:''' She tells my story~\\
'''Eliza:''' I speak out against slavery.\\
'''Washington:''' ''(delivers a look that can only be described as a mix of surprise, confusion, and sadness, then steps away)''
** It's funnier when you realize that real life Washington owned slaves, and this is most likely an acknowledgement to it.

--->'''Jefferson''': When we were on death's door, when we were needy,\\

'''Madison''': ''(mumbles sheepishly)'' ...France.

---> '''King George III:''' ''(incredulous)'' President ''John Adams''...? Good luck!

---> '''King George III:''' They will tear each other into pieces. Jesus Christ, this will be fun!

** After {{Scatting}} a few times in his first number, he states "Everybody," and scats again, the audience signing along. Usually, this "Everybody" would be loud and full of energy, rousing the audience to join in. But here its soft, short, and declarative. [[EvilIsPetty The King commands you to engage in his sing-along]].

-->'''Jefferson:''' [[OhCrap Say]] [[FlatWhat what?]]

--->'''Burr''': Hamilton, at the Constitutional Convention--\\
'''Hamilton''': I was chosen for the Constitutional Convention!

--->'''Hamilton''': Burr, you're a better lawyer than me.\\
'''Burr''': ...Okay.

-->'''Washington''': I wanna give you a word of warning.\\
'''Hamilton''': Sir, I don't know what you've heard but whatever it is, Jefferson started it.

-->'''Hamilton''': '''''PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES!'''''

-->'''Eliza''': Laughing at my sister, cause she wants to form a harem\\
'''Angelica''': I'm just sayin', if you really loved me, you would share him!\\
'''Eliza''': ''(snatches Alexander's letter away triumphantly with an "in your dreams" expression)'' Ha!

--->'''Phillip''': My name is Philip, I am a poet. I wrote this poem just to show it. And I just turned nine, you can write rhymes, but you can’t write mine. (Alexander: What!) I practice French and play piano with my mother. (Uh-huh!) I have a sister but I want a little brother. (Okay!) My daddy is trying to start America's bank! Un, deux, trois, quatre, '''[[SuddenlyShouting CIIIIIINQ]]'''!\\
'''Alexander''': BRAVO!

-->'''Laurens''': Cause if the tomcat can get married... there's hope for our ass after all!

* Phillip Hamilton is unbelievably smooth even when planning to challenge someone to a duel in "Blow Us All Away", audibly impressing [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two Girls]] listed in the libretto as Martha and Dolly. Dolly's response in particular is hilarious.

'''Phillip:''' And y’all look pretty good in ya' frocks;\\
How ‘bout when I get back, we all strip down to our socks?\\

** Martha and Dolly were named after Martha Jefferson and Dolly Madison, that’s right. Alexander Hamilton’s son had a threesome with the wives of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

** The ensemble is joined by King George III, [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext for some reason,]] who glides down the stairs while fanning himself with a pamphlet, does an absolutely ridiculous dance, walks over to Hamilton in a way that can only be described as "sassy", throws his pamphlet in the air with a huge grin on his face, and then just walks away. It caps off with a vocal FunnyBackgroundEvent: he pronounces "pamphlet" as "pam-phleet"!

-->'''Angelica''': Burr you disgust me.\\
'''Burr''': Ah, so you've ''discussed'' me\\

-->'''Eliza''': I gotta go, I gotta find Alexander\\
'''Philip''': Let him know we're on his side\\

'''Philip''': [[OhCrap Oh!]]

-->'''Seabury''': I pray the King shows you his mercy.\\
'''Hamilton''': Is he in Jersey?

-->'''Miranda''': One look at the audience’s [[NoJustNoReaction cringing reaction]] and I cut it. ''[[SeriousBusiness No one]]'' [[SeriousBusiness messes with Abigail Adams. We just won’t have it.]]

** A little RealityEnsues nod to the lack of universal suffrage and the fact that Burr's apparent popularity with the women in the chorus is unlikely to transfer ''directly'' into a growth in his constituency:

* Ever wanted to hear Hamilton but with Franchise/TheMuppets? One fan decided to answer that question. Here's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZzDP-vQXao Act I]], and here's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0xg_pu6hMc Act II.]]

* And [[https://youtu.be/ici4EGuzan8 here's]] one fan's recreation of ''the entire show'' using VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewHorizons.

* And [[https://youtu.be/C5_jL9qNkgQ here's]] one fan's attempt to recreate Hamilton in another form of media, this time using VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewHorizons.

'''Burr:''' [[LittleNo ''No''.]]

* This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-KoAi3Nl9Q commercial]] that in facts parodies an old Got Milk commercial.

** There's also some excellent physical comedy from everyone else; Burr tells Hamilton to back off, so he sheepishly backs back into Lafayette and Mulligan. They proceed to push him ''right back'' to the podium, which Hamilton takes a permission to go to town on the poor British messenger.

* The workshop version of "Schuyler Defeated" contained this incredibly funny exchange after Eliza and Philip learn of Burr's plans to run against Philip Schuyler

*** In the live staging, the last letter is brought by a female chorus member ''en pointe'' (as much as you can in knee high boots) and flapping the letters like she's in ''Swan Lake.''

** It's almost as if he knew Hamiltom was buttering him up in order to ask him for a favor.

** Hamilton's severely nerdy (and gleeful) aside during "Non Stop":

** He petulantly stomps his foot at the line "I'm so blue," and storms out when they didn't play the final beat of ''What Comes Next?''.

** His hilarious laugh during I Know Him.

'''Burr:''' [[FlatNo ''No''.]]

'''Burr:''' ''No''.

* Washington bluntly telling Burr to leave (right in the middle of his "hire me") speech once Hamilton comes into the room.

** The humor of Reynolds' letter continues into "We Know", which has Jefferson cut the curse short with a combination of a BigWhat and FlatWhat. Hamilton's reply also breaks the fourth wall for a brief moment, cutting off Burr's internal [[ArcWords "No one else was in the room where it happened..."]] with an angry "Is that a yes?"

* Series/TheLateShowWithStephenColbert gave us a preview of Colbert's one-song musical: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhFeQSBZUSk "Button"]], about "Button Gwinnett," one of the Georgian signers of the Declaration of Independence. Colbert then gives a NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer by showing Gwinnett's signature on the Declaration and his portrait. Gwinnett did "nothing great" apart from accruing debt and dying in a duel, but Colbert wants to show a preview to the audience. Miranda is interested and says, "Oh great!" when he finds out he's starring in the preview-- as [[DevelopmentGag John Adams]]. A rap battle ensues between John Adams and Gwinnett-- played by Colbert-- when Adams doesn't know who the latter is.
