* At the beginning of ''CyranoDeBergerac'', a man tries to insult Cyrano, telling him "Sir, your nose is... hmm... it is... very big!", (something that he's very sensitive to). Cyrano calmly responds that it is, but this insult was lousy, and proceeds to tell a LongList of better insults in many different styles. Then fights a duel with him, while improvising a sonnet.

* From ''{{Company}}'': in ''Poor Baby'', Bobby is shown having sex with April while all of his married female friends comment that he ought to have a woman, but not someone like the one he's with right now. They list the things they each find wrong with her, such as that she's "dumb", "tacky", "vulgar", etc. [[DeadpanSnarker Joanne's]] complaint? She's "tall enough to be your mother".

* The ''{{Bottom}} Live'' shows are already pretty funny, but when they screw up and have to improvise, it just gets funnier. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNdRjnicbdU This]] is an especially good example.

** A funny background moment, While Pat and Peggy are being scolded by a landlady for having Pat staying in Peggy's dressing room, a man can be visibly seen escaping from the woman's dressing room as the landlady accuses Pat of being a pervert.
** The time that 42nd street takes place in can get a laugh out of a few modern day broadway lovers. For one instance, back in the day seats for a show costed $4.50 each.

** Dorothy Brock cannot dance to save her life, and productions love to take advantage of that. It ends up having her look like a leaping deer rather than a seasoned broadway veteran.
