* EndingFatigue: Curly, Laurie, Will, and Annie all resolve their respective relationship dramas while Jud and Hakim leave everyone for good, leaving Curly and Laurie to discuss how exciting their future is and how much they love Oklahoma. The perfect feel-good ending has arrived. Then there's another ''half hour'' of their wedding day, which eventually ends with them riding off into the sunset like they were set to do already. Given that the only important part of that sequence, Jud's death, basically gets brushed over in less than five minutes and that the show is already two-and-a-half hours without it, removing the last half hour of the show would basically change nothing.

* NightmareFuel:
** The 2019 revival staged "Pore Jud Is Daid" almost completely in the dark, with Curly getting ''extremely'' close to Jud's personal space while monitors in the back wall showed the actors' expressions in harsh, green-tinged light. Combined with the lyrics and mood of the song, which was stripped down to just a guitar and vocals, the effect on audiences was very unsettling, especially on the verse where Curly says they'll use his corpse as a substitute for ice in the summer.
** Even in traditional productions, "Pore Jud Is Daid" is preceded by Curly entering Jud's smokehouse uninvited and joking about Jud using a rope to hang himself, with the song itself containing lots of backhanded compliments about the mourning people will do. Jud eventually joins in on the song and is sure folks will regret having treated him poorly once he's gone, and Curly adds onto it with a line that shows ''exactly'' what he thinks of his rival's prospective death.
--->'''Jud:''' And now they know their friend is gone for good\\
'''Curly:''' ''Good.''
** Depending on the actor, Jud's song "Lonely Room" can come across as this, especially if they go with the theory that Jud is a serial killer/rapist.
** The final five minutes of the 2019 revival. For reasons that are obvious to anyone who saw it.

** By casting white actor Will Brill as Ali Hakim in the 2019 revival and giving him zero indicators that he is, in fact, a "Persian" (Brill kept his American accent), the character is changed from the racial stereotype it is known for being to a white man who is impersonating an "exotic" identity in order to seduce women.
to:
** By casting Ali Hakim has always been a controversial character due to exemplifying a racial stereotype, which many productions lean into by having him put on an exaggerated accent or other indicator. This may not have always been the intention: the character was written for a "Jewish Comic"-actor, potentially offering that the character is more worldly than the others (i.e. a Jewish man from New York), but is lying about not being American-born in order to attract women. The 2019 Broadway production leans into the latter interpretation, with white actor Will Brill as Ali Hakim in the 2019 revival and giving him zero indicators that he is, in fact, not even putting on a "Persian" (Brill kept his American accent), the character is changed from the racial stereotype it is known for being to a white man who is impersonating an "exotic" identity in order to seduce women.fake accent.
