• The Wall's monologue in the play within a play.
  • In fact, any time that the Rude Mechanicals are on stage. Bottom and Quince are made of funny.

  • "'I go, I go; look how I go,/Swifter than arrow from the Tartar's bow!' Puck delivers this line with great enthusiasm... before plodding slowly off stage right.
• "I am speechless and have nothing to say." For some reason, it's one of my favorite lines in theatre ever.
• Oberon's "I am invisible, and will overhear their conference" is pretty funny considering he's been on stage, completely visible, for an entire scene.
