History Funny / Elisabeth

** Funnier in the context of Asumi Rio (2014 Takarazuka Death) singing "Yami ga hirogaru" (Die Schatten) with an actual boyband (SMAP) and ''outstripping them by a mile'' in both charisma and singing ability.[[note]]To elaborate: Theatre/TakarazukaRevue is an all-women theatre troupe. Death is played by ''otokoyaku'' (male role actresses) who exude boyish charm as part of their {{Kayfabe}} (and have a lot of fangirls for said charm), and his costume is deliberately gender-ambiguous. So Zuka Death really is an androgynous popstar![[/note]]

** Franz standing outside of Sisi's door for the entire song. [[Disney/{{Frozen}} "Sisi? Do you want to build a snowman?"]] [[note]]Funnier with the fact that Willemijn Verkaik, once a Sisi, ''was'' Elsa for the German and Dutch dubs. Ditto with Vágó Bernadett for the Hungarian dub of Frozen and production of Elisabeth.[[/note]]

* Commentary on a GIF of Zuka Death dramatically taking off his Doctor Seeburger disguise: "Hello, grandma. It's me, WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}."

* Nozomi Fuuto (2014 Lucheni) talking directly to the camera during the Kitsch segment of rehearsal footage. (She's the only one to do so, as rehearsals are filmed at an angle.) Guess Lucheni's MediumAwareness extends to stuff outside the show...

** Depending on the production, how Franz Joseph delivers the "Angel?" line can be hilarious too. Sometimes he sounds confused, sometimes shocked, and sometimes he says it in a dry exasperated "Angel, this is not how I was expecting this to go..." kind of way

* Behind the scenes meta funny moment: Asumi Rio (Death), Ranno Hana (Sisi), and Yuzuka Rei (Rudolf/Jula) were late to rehearsal (on the day they were supposed to ''record'' rehearsal footage, too) because they were having pancakes for breakfast. Death, Sisi, and Rudolf having a little family outing, eh?

** One Lucheni entered the stage humming "Na na na ~ ''senshuraku'' ~" to the tune of Die fröhliche Apokalypse for a ''senshuraku'' (closing night) performance.

* A meta example: The libretto, of all things, provides a CrowningMomentOfFunny when it describes Death as looking "like an androgynous popstar".
