* [[If I Were a Rich Man]]
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Actually Pretty Funny]]: The rabbi's son cracks up when Tevye jokes that the Jews' constant migrations is "why we never take off our hats."
Line 48 ⟶ 54:
** Well Motel and Tzeitel are [[Victorious Childhood Friend|childhood friends]].
* [[All Issues Are Political Issues]]: Perchik says something like this
* [[Friendly Enemy]] - The constable and the village Russians, until the czar's decrees force them to become [[Punch Clock Villain|PunchClockVillains]]s.
* [[Geeky Turn On]] - Motel, the town tailor. Also {{spoiler|Chava and Fyedka, who meet at the bookseller}}.
* [[Gossip Evolution]] - "The Rumour"
Line 54 ⟶ 60:
"And that's what comes from men and women dancing!" }}
* [[Grief Song]] - "Chavaleh"
** Although, if you actually listen to the lyrics, the whole THING''thing'' is a sort of grief-song. Even "L'Chaim", one of the boisterous upbeat songs, has the lyrics:

''Not like our present ones...
''It takes a wedding to make us say,
''"Let's live another day..." }}
** ...Wow. I just looked up the lyrics to the song and reread them. [http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/fiddlerontheroof/tolife.htm You're totally right.]
* [[Hangover Sensitivity]]: Tevye, after the drinking song.
* [[Homosocial Heterosexuality]]: The traditional [[Arranged Marriage]] custom is portrayed as an emotional and social affair between the groom and the father, the bride hardly being relevant to the process. And thus the plot is setting up for a [[Child Marriage Veto|massive backfire]].
Line 107 ⟶ 112:
* [[Shrinking Violet]] - Chava.
* [[Slap Slap Kiss]] - Hodel and Perchik.
* [[Smite Me, OhO Mighty Smiter!]]
{{quote|'''Perchik''': "Money is the curse of the world."
'''Tevye''' [shouting to the Heavens]: "May God Smite me with it! [[Large Ham|AND MAY I ''NEVER'' RECOVER!]]" }}
