Funny parts in the movie


I watched the movie tonight for the first time in ages and was wondering if anyone else found this parts funny.

Most scenes with Ado Annie - especially the rivalry between Will and the peddler.
The part where Will says to the peddler 'You ain't skinny enough to be a snake, too big to be a mouse, that makes you a rat!'
Ado Annie doing the crayfish imitation.
Then the peddler trying to convince her to stay with Will so he's saying all these nice things about him and she goes 'Do you love him too?'

Also, the girl that Curly pretended to be interested in with the ridiculous/annoying laugh.
And what was with that blonde girl in the chorus who looked like a boy, with that short haircut? That was a bit strange.

the tomb-boy was/is a cultural stereotype...see west side story for a example
