Line 11:
** And an episode of ''[[I Love Lucy]]''.
* [[Ax Crazy|Jonathan Brewster]] in ''[[Arsenic and Old Lace]]'' will try to strangle anyone who says that he looks like [[Boris Karloff]].
* Nathan in ''[[Sweet Gay Baby Jesus!]]'' seems much more calm and level-headed than his boyfriend, Jed- until said boyfriend's actually threatened, and then he {{spoiler|mashes thing up with a golf club}}.
* [[Avenue Q]]: Kate Monster. One word: Racism.

Line 22 ⟶ 21:
** [[Promoted to Love Interest|Fiyero]] is Elphaba's [[Berserk Button]], so much so that half of the song "No Good Deed" is spent with her ''screaming'' his name in agony and desperation, as he is {{spoiler|being tortured}}. "No Good Deed" is also her [[Heroic Blue Screen of Death]], [[Sanity Slippage Song]], and [[Villain Song]].
*** Mistreatment of people and Animals also sets her off, which is what causes - well, at least ''half'' of the problems in the play. She even [[Crowning Moment of Funny|starts a fight with Glinda]] for talking about Fiyero as if he were her property.
* In ''The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds'' (now that's a [[Long Title]]), Ruth mentions her mother's high-school nickname, Betty the Loon. It doesn't end well [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|for]] [[Sanity Slippage|Ruth]] or for [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|her pet rabbit.]]
