Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

It's a phrase to highlight someone missing the point, purposefully or otherwise. It doesn't matter how good the play was, Mary Todd Lincoln watching her husband and then President of the United States Abraham Lincoln get shot in the head right beside her overshadows everything. It could have been the best acting ever but that's not what she was focusing on or what she'll remember.

In reference to the Aurora shootings
Person 1: "Oh my God, that's awful! Was the movie any good, at least?"
Person 2: "Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

In reference to a controversial person
Person 1: "Yeah, Mike's an alcoholic, a tax cheat, beats his kids, and is a pathological liar – but other than that, he's pretty cool."
Person 2: "Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

That... Is not... How... This works...

Maybe if I chant it in slogan form it'll finally get through to you. It seems like you guys don't really grasp things if they don't come in the form of a slogan being chanted. So... Say it with me!

Hym "That... Is not... How... This works... That... Is not... How... This works... That is not how this works. That is not how this works. That is not how this works! That is not how this works! THAT IS NOT HOW THIS WORKS! THAT IS NOT HOW THIS WORKS! THAT IS NOT HOW THIS WORKS! THAT IS NOT HOW THIS WORKS! THAT IS NOT HOW THIS WORKS!"
