Line 2:
* The Witch. This is what you get when you have Bernadette Peters and Vanessa Williams as two of the iconic actresses in the role.
** This bit of the opening number:
{{quote| '''Witch''': In return, however, I said "fair is fair, you can let me have the baby that your wife will bear . . . and we'll call it square".<br />
'''Baker''': I had a brother?!<br />
'''Witch''': No! But you had a sister . . . }}
** In the filmed version, the Baker echoes Jack's Mother's, [[What an Idiot!|"Giants never strike]] [[Too Dumb to Live|the same place twice."]] The way Bernadette Peters delivered that [[Death Glare]] is ''hilarious.''
** "And then [[Large Ham|BANG CRASH AND THE LIGHTNING FLASHED]] [[Mood Whiplash|well, that's another story]], nevermind, anyway..."
* Little Red's hysterical, over the top screaming when the Baker takes her cape from her, topped by:
{{quote| '''Baker''': I just wanted to be sure you really loved this cape!<br />
'''Little Red''': (stomps on the Baker's foot and/or depending on the production, kicks him [[Groin Attack|in the nuts]]) }}
*
{{quote| '''Jack's Mother:''' You need to be careful with your children.<br />
'''Baker's Wife:''' ''(sadly)'' I have no children.<br />
'''Jack's Mother:''' ...That's okay, too... }}
* The princes bickering in "Agony, Part 2", eventually getting to the "thing about dwarves". And on the topic of "Agony, Part 2": "Ah well, back to my wife!"
Line 19:
* The Baker believes that his father died... '' {{spoiler|in a baking accident.}}''
*
{{quote| '''Rapunzel:''' ''(offstage)'' *hysterical, over-the-top screaming*<br />
'''Cinderella's Prince:''' *looks startled*<br />
'''Rapunzel's Prince:''' ''(completely deadpan)'' Rapunzel. }}
* "[[Deadpan Snarker|You can talk... to BIRDS?]]"
* Red Riding Hood's grandmother is usually over the top and hilarious. In addition to the sheer silliness of Red and Granny climbing out of the wolf's stomach {{spoiler|after the Baker cuts it open}}, Granny turns out to be surprisingly sadistic.
{{quote| '''Grandmother:''' *begins choking the wolf, who is already mutilated and writhing in pain* Kill the devil! Take that knife and cut his evil head of! Let's see the demon sliced into ''a thousand bits''! No! Better yet, let the animal die a painful, agonizing, hidious death!<br />
'''Red Riding Hood:''' Granny!<br />
'''Grandmother:''' Eeeh, ''quiet'', child! This evil needs to be destroyed! Now, you fetch me some great stones. We'll fill his belly with them, and then we'll watch him try to run away! *giggles gleefully*<br />
'''Baker:''' *walks away, disgusted* I will just leave you to your task.<br />
'''Grandmother:''' Wait! Don't you want the skins?<br />
'''Baker:''' Oh, no, ''please'' keep them!<br />
'''Grandmother:''' What kind of a hunter are you?!<br />
'''Baker:''' I'm a baker!<br />
'''Grandmother:''' *drags the baker back into the cottage to skin the wolf*
