The show had so many amazing and quotable one liners...which were your favorite?
I like the joke where it's like whats the difference between George Washington and a homosexual indian? I wouldn't hesitate killing either one! (or something to that effect.)

Also. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS!!!

What was the line about John Calhoun n Cripple people or something?
I need to write a paper on the show for class and need a few exact quotes

"Did you know that John Calhoun rapes little children? He rapes the crippled ones twice!"

Or something similar to that.

^That's it.

Any other quotes?

How's about:

"Sir, are you divine providence?"
"No sir, I'm Henry Grunnbaum... Will you lead us?!?"

My favorite moment in the show is mostly unquotable. It's Van Buren's lengthy and ridiculous moment in the second Washington scene (usually containing an ad-lib, it was often "Off with his head!" off-Broadway, at the Broadway performance I attended it was, "Send him to Siberia!")

Basically everything out of Jeff Hiller's mouth is quotable.

"Oh my god my face is literally melting off into my hands right now!"

And the fact that they started making shirts that say "Huzzah! Your shoes have been cobbled!" just makes my life.

"I hope that cow hanging from the ceiling doesn't fall on us..."

"It's a donkey."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, I'm sure. I've been looking at it for the last hour. It's so much more interesting than what's happening on stage."

I can't help but notice that you have gone from liking the show, to being disappointed with the show, to apparently outright hating the show.

[newintown]

I'm not sure where you got that idea. I've said I enjoyed it with reservations at the Public, had many more problems at the Jacobs, always like Friedman's work, but feel that the book doesn't match the skill of his score. I don't hate the show at all, but feel that (like [title of show], which bothered me a lot) the move to a commercial venue killed most of what was interesting about it.

As far as this thread goes, I think it's just ridiculous, so I've added some ridiculous "quotes" to keep this foolish thing going (the thing about the donkey was entirely made up, of course). The silly and juvenile book for BBAJ has no lines worth preserving as wit, unless you find things like "You cannot possess Mango" from SNL to be wit worth saving.

I am a bit nonplussed, however, that you're following my reactions to this show in a linear way. Do you work for SpotCo, and have I become a test market for you?

My problem with "John Quincy Adams" is that it's a direct rip-off of "Matt Damon" from Team America: World Police.

And the references to other works don't end there, unfortunately.

So, John Quincy Adams saying "I'm John Quincy Adams!" twice makes it a rip-off of a joke from Team America (which was a recycled joke from South Park anyway)?

[mattyp4]

Posted: 10/11/10 at 3:14pm

Yes.

How was Team America a rip-off of South Park anyway? Is it just because both were created by the same people?

[Kad]

Posted: 10/11/10 at 3:16pm

I didn't say Team America was a rip-off of South Park, now did I? I said that the Matt Damon joke was recycled from South Park (which it unarguably is).

[mattyp4]

Posted: 10/11/10 at 3:26pm

Ohhh. That was unclear to me.

So I guess you mean "Matt Damon" was a rip-off of "TIMMY!"? B/c yeah, I guess you would be right.

But that forgivable, in my eyes, since it's coming from the same creator. I just felt the "John Quincy Adams" line owed everything to Team America or South Park, whatever. And that's the one moment in the show I keep hearing people singling out as their favorite.

Oh well. I'm not going to try to hide the fact that I absolutely hated BBAJ... b/c I did... hate it... very much so. I also just think a lot of the humor was borrowed.
