[[File:cast-jonathan-mangum_4217.png|frame]]
Line 100:
* [[Pretty Fly for a White Guy]]: Thanks to Wayne's influence.
* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: Watch any playing of Mousetraps with him in it.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: A good chunk of his [[Butt Monkey]] status can be attributed to the fact that [[Running Gag|he keeps giving the other guys ideas]] [[You Just Had to Say It|of how to mess with him.]]
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|This Is For Emphasis, Biatch!]] Overused, and eventually disallowed.

[[File:cast-colin-mochrie_6411.png|frame]]
Line 118:
* [[Running Gag]]: Velociraptors.
* [[What the Hell Is That Accent?]]: Absolutely [[Defied Trope|defied]]. Colin knows that he can't do accents, so when a game of Options places him in Mexico, he becomes [[Crowning Moment of Funny|a Scottish tourist]].

[[File:cast-brad-sherwood_6937.png|frame]]
Line 149:
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Seems to be Brad's favorite style of humor.

{{break}}
----

Line 169:
{{quote|''Drew: "Every position is sexual with Wayne Brady."''}}
 
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Wayne is better at keeping himself from laughing than he used to be, but he still can't keep a straight face in much of his improv.
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]
* [[Stunt Casting]]: He was evidently brought in to acclimate fans of ''Whose Line'' to this show.
{{break}}

Line 179:

=== [[Charlie Sheen]] ===
 
Line 187:

** You could tell by the expression on his face throughout the entire game that he was completely lost. When he finally got picked to narrate, the [[Non Sequitur]] was all he could think of.
