According to urbandictionary.com and my own personal knowledge:
WHOP
A derogatory name for a person of Italian origin. Historically stood for someone "WitHOut Papers" thus the term WHOP.
Those ****ing whops are at it again. They tried hitting on my girlfriend! Can you believe that ****?
Watch out for them whops. They like to cause trouble
Techinically, calling an Italian a "guinea" is worse.

back on track.
DRS - Joanna Gleason's ever so underplayed
vocal and physical double take as the statue's ass comes into view.
Altar Boyz - When Tyler as Mark meets Matthew and Matthew asks him if he has done anything different with his hair and Tyler does this coquettish sort of hair flip, head tilt, look at Matt through his hair. Always got me.
Caroline or Change - When Rose turns to the audience and says:
"Other people's maids are so much nicer."
and when the kid sneaks in the bit about Barbie dolls...loved that!

I love the "big pencil" bit in DRS - I actually almost bought a giant pencil when I was at Disneyland to send to Greg (but sadly I didn't...).
I also love the "Escargot?" "Goodness no!" line in "Here I Am"
Maybe it's funnier to me because I absolutey love escargot. 
There are a lot of funny bits that I love, but when asked to think of them - I seem to draw a complete blank.

I can't think of anything I've seen in person at the moment (though there have been very amusing Wicked things..but we won't talk about those)
but on the Little Women cast recording..in Our Finest Dreams, where Jo is talking about her stories it goes like this:
JO-"...as you all know I've been writing stories forever. With much satisfaction. And people seem to like what I write"
BETH-"We Love it, Jo."
JO-"ABSOLUTELY."
LMAO..I love how she says absolutely...just me?
and all that I could do because of you was talk of love...

No. It's not just you. I laugh EVERY time. There and when Megs says, "Jo, do I die AGAIN in this one?" and Jo responds in that morbidly-pleased voice, "yes..."
*giggle*
I LOVE it!

In Gypsy when Mama Rose is "assisting" during the "Dainty June and her Farmboys" number. It cracks me up every time.
In Carousel, when Carrie is discovered with Jigger by her husband, "...he was carrying me into the woods..."

SpamAlot-Tim Curry's facial expressions, the French guards who don't understand French, Prince Herbert and his father's conversation before Lancelot bursts in(But mother, Father I'm father; Look Alex, Herbert, Herbert), and Tim Curry asking "Are There any jews here?.
All Shook Up-Chad expressing his love for Ed; "And I'm in Love with Ed.... But I really liked Ed...Look maybe once and awhile you can put the hat and stuff back on, and we can both spend some time with him."
The Producers-The Blue Blanket scenes(Hunter does it the best, in my opinion), Adolf Elizabeth Hitler, Carmen's arm as he leaves to get Roger(Brad Musgrove does it the best, in my opinion), and the "I tell you when we are in too deep" running gag.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels- The lyrics "The fashion plate I'll date will give me hummers in my hummer", Ruprechet especially "Who saves up all his farts in a mason jar", and the Ruffhousin mit Shuffhausen(Dr. look he's soo happy he's crying).

Greg's pencil joke in DRS killed me and was my favorite joke in the show even before I absolutely adored him...
Freddy-So what do ya say?
Lawrence-Hmm...
Andre-Oh, you can't be serious! You can't afford a distraction!
Lawrence-Why not? Maybe a distraction is exactly what I need!
Andre-Listen, if you want a rollercoaster ride, I'll take you to the fair. I'll even buy you a pencil!
Lawrence...-A pencil?
Andre-Yeeees, they sell these big pencils th-I don't know!
Greg's facial expression in that is PRICELESS.

To add to the DRS "Great Big Stuff" moments, I love the robot-dance during "Guccione on the phone, he got a party goin' on..."
And Spelling Bee's "unfortune erection..."
And for some reason I loved the "I've been thinking..." "Yes, I've heard..." line in Wicked.

"Princeton! Look! I caught the bouquet! Actually, some little girl caught it...but she wasn't very strong!"
It's the singsong voice that does it, man.
I must agree with whoever said Leif Coneybear's "I fell" in Spelling Bee. I basically died right there.
And Norbert's jerky bit in DRS. Dang. THAT is dedication.

I saw Jekyll and Hyde on HBO (the version with David Haselhoff). I have never seen a funnier show in my LIFE!
There was a part in the first transfirmation where he says something along the lines of "Slight feeling of......Euphoria", and he starts looking all high on crack! And then he starts laughing, and all of sudden out of no where he yells"OH DEAR GOD!!!!!" In a horrible fake high british accent. As he says the line his Leg goes up in the air. My friends and I almost peed out pants we were laughing so hard.
Another part of Jkyll and Hyde was right after the first turned into HYDE. He gets up from the floor with this monkey look on his face, turns with a glare and actually galres at the camera. I am actually laughing right now thinking about it.
And another Jkyll and Hyde David Hasselhoff moment was during the song Alive he yells AAAAHHHHHHH, and his hand goes in the air raps around and he literally grabs his buttocks and screams. It was worth watching for that moment.

basically everything in spelling bee kills me, but here are some:
the slow motion thing, when Barfee is spelling a word with is foot, in slow motion, he spelled it right, and then all of a sudden it's reg. time, and he goes "i know"
the i fell thing-i almost fell out of my seat laughing
"if you take the silent w from answer, the h from ghost, the extra a from aardvark, and the t from listen, you could spell 'what', but nobody would ever hear it." is that it?
