As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • In the opening, Ram overhearing Veronica insulting him:
    Veronica: Ram Sweeney. Third year as linebacker and eighth year of smacking lunch trays and being a huge dick.
    Ram: What did you say to me, skank?
    Veronica: Ah! Nothing!
    • "No discernible personality, but her mom did pay for implants..."
    • Heather M's morbid but sincere compliment to Veronica on how her face is so symmetrical she can cut it in half and have two equal parts. Definitely an Establishing Character Moment.
    Heather Chandler: For a greasy little nobody, you do have good bone structure.
    Heather Mcnamara: And a symmetrical face... If I took a meat cleaver down the center of your skull, I'd have matching halves. That's very important.
  • "SHUT UP, HEATHER!"
  • Fight For Me is pretty hilarious when everyone is frozen in silly positions and facial expressions.
    • "Why, when you see boys fight, does it look so horrible but... Feel so riiiiiiight?"
    • A particularly funny moment is when Kurt stands back up and throws a punch at JD...and misses. Still in slow motion, JD raises his arms like he's saying "Really? You missed me?"
    • Fight For Me live: "Could you be seen with me, and still act proud? (Sees Kurt, just kicked in the nuts, on the floor) HAHAHA."
  • This exchange just after "Candy Store" - the face Veronica makes after J.D's line is hilarious:
    Veronica: I didn't catch your name.
    J.D: I didn't throw it.
  • "Freeze Your Brain" live has Veronica ask J.D if his mom knows he eats so many slushies. His response?
    J.D: Not anymore. (Singing) When mom was alive, we lived halfway normal. Now it's just me and my dad, we're less formal.
    (Veronica looks to the audience with an expression that says, "FUCK I should have kept my mouth shut.")
  • During "Big Fun", Heather Duke gets harassed by Ram and Veronica saves her (by lying to him that there are some freshmen around the pool). Of course Heather Duke claims she needed no rescue, and in at least one version, gives Veronica the finger too. Veronica's reply? "Awwww it's cute you're giving me a finger but I don't need to vomit right now."
  • Every second of drunk!Veronica. Especially her cheesy dancing in "Big Fun."
  • "We gave it a shot, okay? I'm resigning my commission from the lipgloss Gestapo."
  • On the soundtrack, "Dead Girl Walking" is a fun, sexy Intercourse with You song. Live, it's hysterical, because the actress really plays up Veronica's drunkenness. Barrett Wilbert Weed's "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." is hilarious, and gets a huge laugh out of the audience every time.
    • Also, in some productions, after Veronica announces, "See I decided I must ride you 'til I break you!" J.D gives a big grin.
      • In the West End pro shot, when Veronica says that line, J.D immediately chucks the book he was reading aside. But not before putting a bookmark in it.
  • "I'm hot and pissed and on the Pill!"
    • Coupled with an Aside Glance to the audience, as if to say, "Don't worry, folks. This ain't THAT kind of story."
    • In productions where J.D. is played by a woman, J.D. looks at the audience after the line in confusion.
  • "Don't be a dick, that stuff would kill her." "Thus, ending her hangover!"
  • During "The Me Inside Of Me", Ghost!Chandler mostly spends the song snarking about the sappy writing or reveling in her newfound popularity. But when the cops reach the line "I am more than just a source of hand jobs!", she usually has some kind of reaction, either a Double Take or a Death Glare at Veronica.
    • Veronica's attempt to make a joke after Heather C.'s death in order to keep herself calm. It fails miserably. (See Signature Laugh below.)
    HAHAHAHAHA. Hahaha. Heh heh. Hmm. (Sees that Heather is still dead) OH MY GOD!
    • Coupled with J.D.'s "...the hell?" look, implying that J.D. - the sociopathic teenage Serial Killer - thinks she's lost it.
    • "Jesus, you're making me sound like Air Supply!"
    • "I'M BIGGER THAN JOHN LENNON!"
  • Veronica's Signature Laugh in general is always funny.
  • All of "Blue," in some contrast to the underlying matter at hand.
  • The beginning of "Blue (Reprise)"
    Heather Duke: I remember differently. I seem to remember there was a-
  • "I love my dead gay son!" turns into a full-blown bombastic song.
    • Equally hilarious is that we see JD joining in the big chorus number.
  • "What is that that I smell in the air? Is that... tolerance?"
  • During the "Me Inside of Me" sequence of the Illegal Heathers production, Heather Chandler's actress can be seen mouthing a sincere apology to the audience for the abysmal performance of the rest of the cast, and slowly grows visibly more frustrated with the whole thing.
  • JD during "Our Love is God," is absolutely terrifying, but Kurt's complete confusion somewhat lightens it .
    Kurt: I WAS JUST KIDDING ABOUT THE BO DIDDLEY THING!
    J.D: Get off the fence! Get off the damn fence!
    Kurt: I DON'T UNDERSTAAAAAND!
    J.D: (singing) We can start and finish wars. We're what killed the dinosaurs. We're the asteroid that's overdue...
    Kurt: STOP BEING A DICK!
    J.D: (singing) The dinosaurs will turn to dust-
    Kurt: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!
  • It happens at an intense moment, but this just after "Lifeboat":
    Veronica: None of us want this spectacle to be experimented on like guinea pigs or patronized like bunny rabbits!
    Miss Fleming: (horrified) I DON'T PATRONIZE BUNNY RABBITS!
  • Veronica abruptly shouting that she killed Heather, Kurt and Ram during the assembly, only for Heather Duke to laugh it off, believing she only said it for attention.
    • Also in at least one production of the musical, when Veronica is on the verge of revealing the truth about the deaths in her rant, JD can be seen frantically gesturing for her to shut up.
  • "Meant to be Yours" has J.D. detailing his plans to blow up the pep rally... and in the West End recording, he's straight-up giddy about it, adding some (pitch-black) comedy.
  • "Please stand back now ... Little further."
  • "My date for the pep rally kinda blew... me off."
  • The Les Yay crowd who favored Heather Mcnamara's wanting to be with Veronica after she stopped Heather M's suicide attempt got treated to this funny pic of Sophie Issacs (London McNamara) "spooning" Carrie Hope Fletcher (London Veronica).
  • In the proshoot, the expressions of Heather Chandler’s ghost during “Never Shut Up Again,” particularly during the costume change of Heather Duke switching to red. She’s dead and still can’t believe what she’s seeing.
