moving from Funny.Percy Jackson And The Olympians
Added DiffLines:
* During one performance, the final number was interrupted by theatre staff due to issues backstage. Audience members were informed that the show would continue when Percy walked very primly onstage to the opening notes of his song, with the line [[DeadpanSnarker "As I was saying..."]]
* Most of "The Day I Got Expelled", really. Rob Rokicki, the lyricist, took full advantage of musical theatre's inherent BreakingTheFourthWall quality to bring Percy's [[LemonyNarrator dry narration]] to life.
** His confrontation with Mrs. Dodds is also oddly hilarious. His singing over her attempts to get his attention is probably meant to represent how distractible Percy is, but it can come off as his choosing to ignore her in favor of doing another EpicRiff.
--->'''Mrs. Dodds:''' I have heard much about you, Percy Jackson.
--->'''Percy:''' Really? That's very dedicated for a substitute.
** Even funnier, contrary to [[DeadpanSnarker Percy's]] usual, Chris [=McCarrell=] delivers that line [[SincerityMode as though he's genuinely impressed.]]
* Percy's attempts to avoid talking about his expulsion.
--->'''Percy:''' Hi, Mom, how was your day? I went to a museum, got kicked out of school, saw some seriously X-rated art - field trips are wild.
--->'''Sally:''' Your headmaster called.
--->'''Percy:''' About the art?
* When Gabe walks on stage, Percy produces a can of air freshener from the couch cushions and sprays it in a protective halo around himself.
* Mr. D is even more flamboyantly irritable here than in the source material. The gruff, squeezed voice he sings in is funny in and of itself.
--->'''Dionysus:''' Maybe if I go away and play pinochle, things might improve. For me, not for you, ''' ''[[SuddenlyShouting YOU'D BE DEAD!]]'' '''
** Percy's increasingly confused reactions in the background of "Another Terrible Day".
** Later, after the claiming, we get this gem of a line:
--->'''Dionysus:''' ''[[PersonalSpaceInvader (leaning into Percy's face)]]'' We aren't talking about some tinfoil zig-zag from a ''[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall traveling musical]]''!
* Luke explains his own family situation to Percy with the fakest enthusiasm you'll ever hear.
--->'''Luke:''' I thought my dad was some deadbeat. Turns out, ''(throws his arms up in celebration)'' he's a deadbeat god!
* "Put You In Your Place" has the [[BewareTheSillyOnes Aphrodite kids carrying the biggest weapons]], particularly the massive warhammer Silena tosses over her shoulder like it's no big deal.
* Clarisse walking up to Annabeth before their fight and [[LesYay chucking her under the chin]].
* Percy trying to stop the Oracle in the middle of her prophecy before she can tell him something terrible.
* "Drive" is hilarious simply by virtue of being the one song where [[NervousWreck Grover]] is totally calm and optimistic while Percy and Annabeth are panicking.
* The LyricalDissonance that is "DOA": a song about how you'll never get out alive... set to ''disco music''.
** Charon's glee at the trio's stunned reactions to the Underworld is BlackComedy of the highest caliber.
** The choreography in "DOA" varies from production to production, but at least one form involves Charon grabbing Percy for a brief ballroom routine, then dipping him and dropping him on the floor.
* After finding Sally in their apartment, Percy tries to make a joke of the package he brought her...
--->'''Percy:''' ''(smirking)'' It's a do-it-yourself sculpture kit. ''(Sally starts to open the box)'' NO! ''(flings himself over the box)'' It's Medusa's head.
* At the end of the Campfire Song Percy asks Chiron who his dad is. Chiron tells him that his dad's Chronos and reminds everyone that he ate his children. Everyone concedes that Chiron had the worst dad.
** The first to concede is Luke. The guy totally defined by his hatred for his father. The guy who ''works for Kronos''. Kronos was just that bad.
* During his dream after fighting the Minotaur, Percy acts like he's drunk and doesn't even bat an eye when Poseidon comes along to give him a shell.
--> [Unconcerned] Oh look, a strange man in a Hawaiian Shirt.
* On the soundtrack release of "The Day I Got Expelled", Percy says that Nancy Bobofit hates him because he tried to stop her from wedgieing the first graders. In some productions, instead of that, he says she hates him because he tried to stop her from ''setting the first graders on fire!''
