Funny / Westeros: An American Musical

• "Hand-Holding":
  • Robert saying that he needs a new advisor who's "real brain smart".
  • The refrain is basically Robert saying "I'm drunk all the time, so you'll be doing all the work". He gets even more honest about it in another line:
    Ned: I'll put procedures in place.
    Robert: I'll stay a drunken disgrace.
  • At the end of the song, they reassure each other on the fact that the future time in which they will have both passed away, which they have just been singing about, is decades away.
• Cersei's rebukes to Stannis during "Stannis Refuted" result in the following passage:
  Cersei: Your jester acts more royally than thee.
  Stannis: The Lord of Light blesses my reign.
  Cersei: And he acts more loving to Shireen.
  Stannis: I call on all houses to honor...
  Cersei: Is he her father?
• After making Tyrion Joffrey's new Hand of the King, Tywin tells him to not bring a whore to King's Landing, or else he'll punish both of them. Tyrion proceeds to hire Shae almost as soon as Tywin leaves the stage. Even Shae is baffled by the extent to which Tyrion seems to be blatantly ignoring Tywin's warning.
• "Crownless":
  • The 2019 version of the shadow-baby is wearing a paper mask that looks like pencil drawing of Stannis' face. Complete with beard.
  • After Renly dies partway through the song, his body just stays on the stage for the rest of the song and gets casually walked over no less than twice by other characters.
• The lead-up to "Robb Stark":
  Raven: I forgot you got a family.
  Sansa: They're still alive?
  Raven: ...you've go some of a family, and it looks like they have been really busy lately. So listen Salsa, this is my bad, like we should have had the Stark stuff interspersed throughout this whole thing, but the North is just... beh, you know? Anyway, help me out. Gimme the scoop. What happened up there, your trip down here, all that jazz.
  Sansa: Well, after Dad's foster father was murdered, my brother was crippled, then my sister attacked my fiance so my father stabbed my pet in the neck and th...
  Raven: Okay, you know what, let's just check in with your brother and mom.
• When Tywin, Littlefinger, Loras and Margaery ride into King's Landing to turn the tide of a battle, Margaery is casually waving at people with a smile on her face.
• The Royal naptime enforcers, a pair of guards in sleeping caps whose job description seems to be forcibly escorting Joffrey to his room to have a nap when his presence starts getting embarassing for the other Lannisters.
• The entire scene leading up to "Time For a Frown":
  • Tyrion, under the impression that he's a lighter shade of grey than he actually is, is made uncomfortable by his upcoming wedding to Sansa due to it not fitting with his self-image. Tywin suggests approaching it with an outlook that is basically a blend of It's All About Me and Playing the Victim Card in spite of the fact that Sansa is definitely the one getting the short end of the stick. Tyrion is completely fine with the idea.
  • Littlefinger's reaction to Tyrion and Sansa getting married:
    Tyrion: Will Littlefinger be attending?
    Tywin: [gives Tyrion a letter] Lord Baelish sends his regrets.
    Tyrion: [opens the letter and shows it to the audience] "Fuck you she's mine."
    Tywin: The man is an enigma.
    Tyrion: He's drawn a crude sketch of me in a jail cell and him and Sansa sailing away on a boat kissing.
    Tywin: I doubt we'll ever know his true motives.
  • A close-up of the letter in shown on-screen with a couple extra gems. First, the letter's full text is shown to be "My Lord Tyrion, fuck you she's mine. Baelish.". Second, we actually see the sketch, which really is that crude, and has the stick figures labeled as "Me", "You" and "Sonza".
• This shows up early in "A H(e)art Inflamed", which is the play's version of "Burn" and otherwise manages to be a serious song:
  Stannis: Do you know what Robert said on the night you were concieved? He said "Do you actually need this bed?".
• "Stark to Finish" is perfectly aware of the scene it leads up to, and milks plenty of comedy out of it:
  • After Robb explains how he ended up married to Jeyne Westerling:
    Robb: Now they say that I...
    Roose Bolton and Sand Snakes: Broke his oath to Frey.
    Robb: Bolton, those lyrics sound a little concerning.
  • As narrators, the Sand Snakes call Robb an idiot after he praises Roose Bolton for his support.
  • While Robb is talking about how sure he is everything will be fine after he attends a certain wedding, Roose Bolton is right next to him, making the "slit throat" gesture while looking at the audience.
  • When the Starks are invited into the Twins for dinner, Roose is seen sharing various gestures that all clearly mean "we are going to kill those guys" with a member of the Frey family right behind Catleyn's back.
  • The "The Lannisters send their regards" line causes the whole "actually killing the Starks" part of the Red Wedding to get interrupted while Catelyn, Roose, Robb, Walder and a random Frey go off on a tangent about Jaime's The Ghost status and who, exactly, would have sent regards through Roose. After the conversation ends, Roose is so done that he kills Catelyn to keep her hostage-taking moment from taking up more time and also kills the random Frey who contributed to the tangent.
  • One of the "stretcher knights" who took Renly and the raven's corpses off the stage shows up again and is not pleased by the workload:
    Stretcher Knight: Oh you gotta be shitting me. [walks back out]
  • Roose thanks Walder for inviting him and tells him the ceremony was "lovely".
• "The Red Wedding" uses the music of "The Reynolds Pamphlet" and has an extra nod to its original from Hamilton by having Joffrey distribute leaflets to everyone onstage. He spends a little time trolling Tyrion before actually giving him one and hands one of his leaflets directly to Davos (who is just off-stage, but nowhere near King's Landing in-universe) in his enthusiasm to distribute them to as many people as possible.
• The play's take on one of the story's biggest reveals:
  Shae: Oh hi, M'Lord. Your father's in the loo. He should be back in five.
  Tyrion: Shae?
  Shae: M'Lord.
  Tyrion: What the hell?
• "Congratshaelations" has another moment of hilarity soon afterwards when Shae reaffirms that she is merely doing her job for people who pay her:
  Tyrion: But in the third season...
  Shae: Just please ignore the show!
• "Sword in the Darkness": Wun-Wun (a giant) is wearing a Giants jersey. (Which is a reference to the fact that Wun-Wun is in fact a Shout Out to New York Giants QB Phil Simms, #11, as GRRM is a huge NY Giants fan.)
• The wolf puppet used by Cersei in "Opposing Council" is part of the final salute.
