The 1860s "colored" troupes violated this convention for a time: the comedy-oriented endmen "corked up", but the other performers "astonished" commentators by the diversity of their hues. Still, their performances were largely in accord with established blackface stereotypes. These black performers became stars within the broad African-American community, but were largely ignored or condemned by the black bourgeoisie. James Monroe Trotter – a middle-class African American who had contempt for their "disgusting caricaturing" but admired their "highly musical culture" – wrote in 1882 that "few ... who condemned black minstrels for giving 'aid and comfort to the enemy'" had ever seen them perform.

The popularity of the song made it a natural for contemporary parody. A common version was: After the ball was over, after the break of morn, After the dancers' leaving, after the stars are gone; Many a heart is aching, if you could read them all; Many the hopes that have vanished, after the ball. After the ball was over, Bonnie took out her glass eye, Put her false teeth in the water, hung up her wig to dry; Placed her false arm on the table, laid her false leg on the chair; After the party was over, Bonnie was only half there! Alternative parody verse 2 of above: After the ball was over, Bonnie took out her glass eye, Put her false teeth in the basin, corked up a bottle of dye Put her false leg in the corner, hung up her hair on the wall And all that was left went to bye byes after the ball.
