History Funny / TwelfthNight

* Once Sebastian arrives on the scene during the climax and the remaining cast are confronted with the identical twins, companies are missing a huge opportunity if they ''don't'' play it for laughs. Reactions across various productions have included even Feste being totally confused, the priest making the sign of the cross, and of course Olivia's "Most wonderful!" line when faced with the prospect of [[ThreesomeSubtext TWO Cesarios!]]

-->'''Feste/"Sir Topas":''' Out, hyperbolical fiend! Talkest thou nothing but of ladies?''

** Played UpToEleven in the 2017 National Theatre Production where Creator/TamsinGrieg (as the cross cast Malvolia) arrives and performs a striptease/burlesque musical number in yellow Basque and stockings.

* When Olivia calls out "husband, stay!" to Viola, the best productions have her, Orsino and others of their party stop in place and so slow turns of "um...what?"

* The scene where Malvolio finds "Oliva's" letter. Especially the bit where Malvolio realizes [[CaptainObvious the letters spell his name.]] In some productions, the hidden Fabian, Toby and Andrew [[SarcasticClapping all break out into applause.]]

-->'''Olivia:''' As item, two lips, indifferent red; item, two grey eyes, with lids to them; item, one neck, one chin, and so forth.

* If a production's WimpFight between Viola and Andrew isn't hilarious, they're doing it wrong. Various stagings have shown it any number of ways, from hilariously awful swordwork, to Viola straight-up [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere dropping her sword and running the hell away]], to both Andrew and Viola forgoing swords all together in favor of a sissy slap fight.

* One civic theatre production even made a funny bit out of "My brother he is in Elysium.": During the Viola/Captain scene, there were signs pointing left to "Shore," right to "Illyria"... and up to "Elysium."

* Once Olivia lets Viola see her face, Viola chides her that she would be the cruelest woman alive if she went to the grave while leaving no copies of such beauty (i.e. kids) to the world. Olivia jokingly retorts that she'll leave an inventory of it in her will.
