Whose Line Is It Anyway?/WMG

""Good evening everybody, welcome to Whose Line Is It Anyway! Tonight's performers... What Do You Mean Its Phlebotinum, Wayne Brady! What Do You Mean It's for Kids?, Chip Esten! What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?, Colin Mochrie! And What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?, Ryan Stiles!...""

It's not too hard to guess what Whose Line Is It Anyway would be like if it were still on...
...going by today's trends at this time of writing:

"Ryan: "...and then I will look him square in the eye and say (takes out paper, reads) Mundane Made Awesome?!""
 * Props and Dating Service Video would be overrun with Lady Gaga jokes
 * Greatest Hits: Colin and Ryan would mess with Wayne by suggesting Hannah Montana, Lady Gaga, Ke$ha
 * Song Styles Jonas Brothers & High School Musical, T-Pain are legitimate styles now
 * This troper is almost convinced Wayne can pull off an Autotuned voice.
 * Film, TV, Theater Styles: 'New age' monster movies, comic book movies, fantasy epic get suggested, maybe anime gets subdivided into monster anime or adult anime
 * Newsflash gets phased out as practically every clip they can find is already overexposed on the internet
 * Ascended Memes are finally made known as 'The Cat' is suggested for Weird Superheroes or Foreign Film Dub
 * Multiple Personalities: whoever is holding the jar is Jack Sparrow, whoever is holding the Cool Shades is Neo, whoever is holding the red cape is Leonidas...
 * Wayne could probably pull off Leonidas, but Colin might wind up sounding a bit too Scottish.
 * You say that like it'd be a bad thing :)
 * Tropes Awareness seeps into some games, like say Whose Line:

""Thank goodness you're here, Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!!" (Ryan starts slapping everybody)"
 * Or Weird Superheroes:

""You wanna know... how I lost my hair?""
 * Any act involving mock nudity or streaking now includes a Goatse reference
 * Retraux trend leads to more games from the UK run being revived
 * This troper just started following The Green Screen Show, and sure enough they've imported Tag from Whose Line UK.
 * And Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza also resurrects the concept behind Every Other Line in the form of 'Playbook.
 * More of the British players would make special appearances. (Tony would only be allowed on once, because, afterwards, the censors would beg for forgiveness.)
 * More female players recruited, Wayne appears less since Don't Forget the Lyrics is also on (Greg or Brad usually get his place)
 * Chip and Jeff get promoted to 'first chair' rank, allowing Greg, Brad and Wayne with more time off - consequently, any stretch of eps made in Wayne's absence is referred to as the wind-down or off-season
 * More special guests from higher paycheck levels - Cameron Diaz, Robert Downey Jr...
 * Wayne and Jack Black would kick ass in the singing games.
 * Linda Taylor now rotates with a male guitarist on occasion
 * Guest musicians from bands like Timbaland or something? Why the hell not...
 * If it's true about Jason Mraz, he'd be perfect.
 * Neon light on desk is replaced with rows of LEDs housed in plexiglass tubes
 * No, the neon has to stay. Ryan slamming his head into a bunch of LEDs wouldn't be nearly as funny.
 * Wayne's stock impressions now include Obama (presumably as a permanent replacement for Michael Jackson and George W. Bush jokes) and Tiger Woods.
 * Either Ryan or Colin become the first to attempt a Heath Ledger Joker impression.


 * And yet, I can still see the show as hilarious.
 * There will be a lot more video game references. Like the entire cast of Team Fortress 2, Link, or GLaDOS for party quirks.
 * I dunno... they didn't seem to know a whole lot about video games. Except maybe Colin...
 * African Chant gets ReTooled into Na'vi Ceremony
 * More than a few singing games end with rhyming 'whore' or 'bore' with Jersey Shore
 * Speaking of music, Song Titles would finally lampshade all the unavoidable Ho Yay when someone says "Bad Romance".
 * More comic book references, including a new Running Gag about how Colin and Wolverine are now the two most famous Canadians
 * Film Dub goes even more international with footage from more Asian films eg. Bollywood

"Drew: "Here's your scene - Wayne and Greg have entered Ryan's dream, where they must plant an inception in the fridge in the pantry at his workplace. While they're halfway done, Ryan steps in to get coffee, and Wayne and Greg have to pretend like they belong in there, otherwise the entire dream will collapse. Colin steps in later with notes on how to improve the scene; whenever you're ready, take it away.""

If Obama appeared on Whose Line...

 * His appearance gets foreshadowed with say, Obama clips in Newsflash or "Songs of the President" for Greatest Hits
 * They'd start off with a Song Styles/Duets for him to start with
 * They'd simply have to have him behind the lectern in Press Conference
 * Obama might volunteer for Questions Only, Film Dub, Scene to Rap
 * Captain Hope or Captain Change for Superheroes
 * Welcome to Whose Line is it Anyway, the show where everything's made up and the points don't matter; that's right, the points are like politics.

Scenes From A Hat. What HASN'T been done yet for this fantastic game?
Well, how about:

"User:Quanyails: *reaches into hat, pulls out paper, reads* "Suggestions for Scenes From A Hat that didn't quite make it."
 * "Strange things to be arrested for."
 * "The most mundane turn-ons ever."
 * "People who shouldn't drive public transportation."
 * "Bad ways to end the 'Roses Are Red' poem."
 * "Things you don't expect soldiers to carry around."
 * "Strange places to hide CCTV cameras."
 * "Unusual White House security measures."
 * "What happened to the man who cancelled Whose Line the first time."
 * "The funniest phrases ever uttered by Stephen Hawking."
 * "Suggestions for Scenes From A Hat that didn't quite make it."

User:PRIVATE Corp: *reaches into hat, pulls out paper, reads* "People Drew Carey will never do in bed." *gets buzzed off big time*"

"God, I hate these older models, they're so hard to turn on properly!"
 * "Things you can say about your TV, but not your girlfriend."

"User:Be: "Give me a gobstopper, would you, honey?"
 * "What life would have been like if your parents were drill sergeants."
 * “Things you can say about a bag of gumballs but not your boyfriend.”

User:Reverie Planetarian: "Sure, have one, it's a quarter a pop."

User:Be: "Wonder how many licks it takes to get to the middle of this?"

User:Korbl: "Ugh, I hate the small ones.""

"User:Thevisualboy 37: Now, where did I leave my copy of "Disco Handel"?
 * “Songs that don’t deserve dance remixes.”

User:Reverie Planetarian: Hmmm... "Sparta Remix of the Sparta Remix of the Sparta Remix...II.""

"User:Lord Aaronus: (gossipy housewife voice) So I was telling Gracie, yknow, when she was HNNNNGH! we saw Lula from Coop 5A walking around RRRRRRGH! and would you believe it, she was with the Latino rooster from OOOH! OOOH! GRADE A!! GRADE A!!"
 * “Unusual places to wake up from a hangover.”
 * "Misfortune Cookies."
 * Anything that starts with "Things you can say about your girlfriend"
 * "If we could hear the thoughts of chickens."

"Chip: (arms flailing) "I'm supposed to do what now?!"
 * "What the Angry Birds are thinking while they're hurled from the catapult."

Colin: (same) "GOOD HOLY GOD THIS IS BETTER THAN SEX!!""

The points DID matter.
And whoever had the most accumulated when the show ended secretly got $100,000 in cash from Drew Carey.
 * Wasn't there an episode where Drew skipped on the points and just threw $100 bills at the guys?
 * They had to return them.

There will be a reunion show on CBS instead of ABC.
Even though the show aired on ABC and occasionally has reruns on ABC Family, a lot of the American cast has wound up working on CBS at some point or another since then:
 * Drew Carey currently hosts The Price Is Right, also did the Too Good to Last show Power of 10, and has also made a guest appearance on...
 * ...Wayne Brady's incarnation of Let's Make a Deal which had a strong first season and will be brought back for another, so he won't be leaving that show very soon.
 * There's also Ryan Stiles' appearances on Two and A Half Men.
 * Brad Sherwood and Jeff Davis have auditioned to take over Rich Fields' spot as the announcer for Drew's Price as well.
 * Wayne Brady has a recurring role on How I Met Your Mother as Barney's gay black brother.

Since ABC still has the rights to air the show, it might be done as a stealth reunion but most fans will pick up on all of the Whose Line stars together on camera. Perhaps the winner will be the one who comes closest to the actual retail price without going over. They'll get to play a pricing game with Drew...while the losers play their favorite game in the whole wide world...Hoedown!
