• Lydia takes refuge from her life and career crashing down about her ears in her Berlin townhouse apartment. Her elderly neighbor recently passed away, and a couple knock on her door and inform her that they're selling her apartment and would like her to keep her music-playing down so prospective buyers won't be scared off by the noise. Lydia's response? Playing the accordion as loudly as she can and singing at the top of her lungs about how they're going to hell.
  • For extra funny points: "Weird Al" Yankovic reenacting the scene!
• Olga running down the stairs screaming with joy after being accepted into the orchestra and being given the Elgar solo.
• The scene of Lydia attacking her replacement at the concert is darkly hilarious, both because it's a complete 180 from how we saw her during her rehearsal scenes, and it's inherently hilarious to see someone with such a professional demeanour acting completely unhinged.
  • Considering the actors, it’s even funnier considering that Merlin is getting his ass handed to him by Hela.
• Lydia face-planting into concrete similarly comes out of nowhere at all, and her attempts to lie about how she got injured just make the scene more ridiculous.
• The ending, where we learn Lydia's new job by seeing a crowd of cosplayers as the Monster Hunter: World intro plays. If only for how those people as are enthralled as the well-dressed ones in regular orchestral concerts.
