Not really part of a song, but as a recitative -- in ASPECTS OF LOVE. Rose Vibert, the 25-year old actress asks her young admirer ( who is very infatuated with her) how old he was while they were sipping wine --

Rod's laugh in the middle of "My Girlfriend, Who Lives in Canada" worked every time we listened to the OBC in my dorm. :)

"'Mucho masturbation' in RENT. Especially when it gets a gasp from the audience"

My dad was driving my friend and I somewhere once... we put the Rent CD on, and were singing along to it. LVB came on, and we just kept belting out all the words. Then that line came... my dad did NOT laugh. lol!

I can't even think of one in particular from Avenue Q; almost everything in that show made me laugh!

I remember when I saw Avenue Q, the biggest laugh from the audience was during for now: "George Bush is only for now!!".. they seemed to like that. There are so many from Avenue Q, it would take forever to list!!

The mucho masterbation line always cracks me up, especially if the audience doesn't know it's coming!!

From Wicked, when Elphaba is talking about getting the shoes, Glinda says "Elphie, calm down! They're just shoes!!" (or something along those lines)... it made me laugh really hard!

"And I can't wait to eat her pus*sy again!" cracks me up. Actually, all of Q does. And Therapy from TTB makes me laugh very hard.

"Mucho masturbation" in RENT. Especially when it gets a gasp from the audience...

I remember seeing RENT for the first time a couple years ago. I knew very little of the score, and when the "mucho masturbation" line came, my jaw dropped to the floor. That alone made my friend laugh.

One really big LOL line for me is from Avenue Q during "You can be as loud..." where Princeton says: "You can't put your finger there-- OH! Put your finger there!"

-SuperSchubert

"Who do you have to f*** to get a break in this town?"

That makes me laugh out loud everytime. It's one of my favorite lines in the show. And to think it was just ad libbed - I'm so glad they kept it in!

This line from Hairspray made me burst out laughing like a hyena:

"Hey baby, you look like you could use a stiff one!"

I couldn't stop laughing, it was the funniest sexual innuendo ever!

from A New Brain:

MR BUNGEE: I want a song that says 'yes'
'Yes I will do my homework.'
'Yes, I will .. work.. in the garden...'
'Yes, I will go.. with my grandparents... TO ISRAEL!!!!"

*sigh* just love that line and the way chip delivers it.

delivery is another animal all together tho... because if you think of certain performers who make your everyday lines HYSTERICAL... like in the OBC of Into the Woods with "You talk to birds?" or in the revival cast of Assassins when Becky delivers "SH*T- I shot it" in The Gun Song....


anyway...


they're just great.

Almost all of Avenue Q makes me laugh. I agree with Dory on the "You talk to birds" line, get me everytime. I also love "Well, it seems the artichoke is steamed" from Wicked. And I agree with everyone on the mucho masterbation line, as that was the first song I listened to when I bought the OBCR and completely didn't expect it.

All of Q definately
But when I hear Harvey Fierstein sing "Well, it's just us girls in the big dollhouse" I crack up everytime. It's sooooooooo deep, especially in comparrison to the high nasality he uses through the rest of the show. I love that man

re: lol lines

Posted: 8/9/04 at 2:14pm

I agree, all of Avenue Q is a pure joy.

Most of my favourite lines have already been named, but here's a few more:

"F*ck you lady, that's what stairs are for!"

"Ethnic jokes may be uncouth
But you laugh because they're based in truth"

"I'm gonna jump!"
"Don't do it!"
"Okay!"
