** "Oh southern ([[Beat awkward pause]]) Democratic Republicans!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]During "Washington on your side", all 3 performers stop singing in the middle of the song for a few seconds in order to not sing the F-word (as almost all swearing or sexual references in the show were censored, at least those that were recognized). The hilariously poor and unintentionally funny attempt at censorship became instantly infamous for viewers of the production.[[/labelnote]]

* "Scamilton", following in the footsteps of [[{{Theatre/Heathers}} "Illegal Heathers"]] before it. In 2022, a Texan church group put on a hilariously bad version of the show without securing the rights. Performances range from passable to subpar, any cursing and risque elements are cut, lyrics are outright altered to give the show a more religious connotation, ''and'' it ends with a 15-minute-long sermon wherein homosexuality is equated to vices like drug addiction. Needless to say, the internet had a bit of fun mocking it.

** "Cause he's been throwing hands with the ambassador of France!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another mocked line change/censor from the show, particularly memorable as it creates a rather funny [[ArtisticLicenseHistory contradiction with history]] (as in real life Thomas Jefferson WAS the ambassador to France, the line in the real show is "Cause he's been kicking ass as the ambassador to France), on top of the show seemingly misunderstanding what "kicking ass" means.[[/labelnote]]

** Hamilton's line that begins "Look at my son..." from "Dear Theodosia" has become a popular soundtrack on [=TikTok=] for videos of pets, especially cats, usually doing something funny or weird.

** "I introduced hundreds of kids to Jesus" "Oh No"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The church's version of "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story" changes the lyrics to be about Eliza supposedly indoctrinating orphaned children to Christianity which many found {{narm}} at best or, to those who have experience religious trauma, horrifying.[[/labelnote]]
