Line 26:
* [[Achilles Heel]]: Drew still tends to bust up laughing more than the others.
* [[Nerd Glasses]]
* [[Self -Deprecation]]: Still one of his favorite types of humor.
 
----
Line 35:
Davis started acting at age 4 (as Linus in “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown”) and appeared on Broadway at age 11 with Yul Brynner in “The King and I.” He’s had several recurring roles on Drew Carey’s TV shows, and is a member of Carey’s Improv All-Stars.
 
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Although Jeff was technically a regular of ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (TV)|Whose Line?]]'', he was added late and certainly didn't appear as often as Greg or Chip. This is [[Breakout Character|no longer the case]].
* [[Clothes Make the Legend]]: Jeff always wears a shiny-ish suit and tie combo.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
Line 42:
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Always averted when it comes to his [[Stock Characters]].
* [[Spot Light Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: Jeff occasionally wrests the scene from his costars and steers it in his own direction. [[Tropes Are Not Bad|This isn't always a bad thing]] ([[Crowning Moment of Funny|Dust Storm]], anyone?).
* [[Sharp Dressed Man]]: Although the male cast usually dresses well, Jeff is always impeccably dressed.
* [[Stock Characters]]: [[Keanu Reeves]] and [[Christopher Walken]].
Line 52:
* [[Bald of Awesome]]
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Bob]]
* [[The Silent Bob]]: [[A Worldwide Punomenon|Heh heh heh]]...Well he ''is''...
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: The game Bob's Call, where Bob starts playing music that forces the players to sing along based on whatever they just said, revolves around the comedy side of this trope. Often results in [[Lyrical Dissonance]] for the players.
Line 63:
The improv artist and actor trained at the Groundlings Theatre in Los Angeles and has appeared on “Big Love,” “The Office,” “ER,” “Married...With Children” (he married Kelly Bundy in the final episode), and “The Drew Carey Show.”
 
* [[The Cast Showoff]]: Given how [[The Cast Showoff|immensely talented]] Wayne was (and still is), ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (TV)|Whose Line?]]'' made it easy to forget that Chip is a [[Irony As She Is Cast|trained singer]] who, prior to ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (TV)|Whose Line?]]'', was best known for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_-_The_Buddy_Holly_Story playing] [[Buddy Holly]]. Now Chip's a regular for the musical games.
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Jeff.
Line 88:
 
* [[Adorkable]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]: To the point that it seems to be some kind of hazing for the non-''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (TV)|Whose Line?]]'' vet.
* [[Catch Phrase]], [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|Biatch!]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Sometimes.
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: With his trademark grimace and Adorkable appeal, he's practically a live action [[Pokémon (Anime)|Brock.]]
Line 96:
* [[Keet]]: The other reason Jonathan seems to be the youngest.
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Precision F -Strike]]: The handcuffs poem:
{{quote| "Roses are red, violets are blue, the handcuffs didn't work, hey hey, f--- you!"}}
* [[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.

=== Colin Mochrie ===
Line 111:
* [[Bald of Awesome]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Bald jokes. And Suzanne.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Just like on the original ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (TV)|Whose Line?]]''.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Especially during games of Freeze.
Line 117:
* [[Overly Prepared Gag]]: He manages to sneak them into the Song Compilation introductions now and again.
* [[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]].
-----
=== Greg Proops ===
Line 135:
* [[Man of a Thousand Voices]]: His Elvis Costello is impeccable.
* [[Nerd Glasses]]
* [[Precision F -Strike]]: "APPLAUD GOD DAMN YOU!"
* [[Smug Snake]]
