The Funniest Jokes From 'Wicked' That Left Us Feeling Magical

When the performers from ‘Wicked’s original broadway run (Kristen Chenoweth [Glinda] and Idina Menzel [Elphaba]) make a cameo during the film and sing a song together, Ariana Grande's Glinda tries to steal the spotlight and join in on the song, only to have her mouth swiftly covered by Chenoweth. 

During the song ‘Popular’ when Glinda is trying to give Elphaba a makeover, she takes off Elphaba's glasses, giving a nod to the movie makeover trope of removing a character's glasses to see their true beauty. But Glinda apparently doesn't like what she sees and quickly puts Elphaba's glasses back on. 

When Glinda is explaining how Fiyero has been acting differently she says “he's been thinking” with the joke being that thinking is apparently out of character for Fiyero. 

When Elphaba is giving her typical spiel to Fiyero, explaining that her green color isn't from things like eating grass as a kid or being seasick, he responds asking “what about the defensiveness, is that a recent development?”

When the entire school is stunned by Elphaba's green skin, one of Glinda's friends references a stereotype that often comes up in conversations surrounding race and humorously remarks that he “doesn't see color.”

When the cocky Fiyero Tigelaar rides in on his horse and knocks Elphaba down, she asks if he's always a tyrant who tramples on everyone and he responds with “no, sometimes I sleep.”
