Not many whose line fans knew who she was but in episode five in new choice and most of the fans agree that she is one of the best female performer with all three shows. However, with her being only in eight Episodes you might be looking at what Jeff Davis was in Whose Line.

  • Crowning Music of Awesome: Some of the songs are really quite awesome.
  • Ear Worm:
    • Flap My Jack
    • Duststorm
    • LETHAL INJECTION!
    • "I'm gonna blow... BLOW MY STACK!" Earworm, and also a great song.
    • This will have you wiping windows and hanging fresheners all day.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Heather Anne Campbell. Not many whose line fans knew who she was but in episode five in new choice and most of the fans agree that she is one of the best female performer with all three shows. However, with her being only in eight Episodes you might be looking at what Jeff Davis was in Whose Line.
  • Genius Bonus: Probably unintentional, but Ryan's idea of a cyclops having given up its other eye to become a cyclops does fit with one of the traditional origin stories for the cyclops - or maybe he watched Krull.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Apparently Ryan's regular use of the name "Gary" summoned an actual Gary.
    • The combination of Drew's weight loss and Greg's weight gain has caused them to resemble each other even more, a fact that has been lampshaded a few times.
  • Ho Yay: Wouldn't be a Whose Line type show without it!
    • In Jeff's words, "We've all worked together for a long time, so we all have really great chemistry with each other."
  • Memetic Sex God: Lampshaded - Drew asks the audience for a "physical non-sexual position" to put Wayne in, then adds "every position is sexual with Wayne Brady".
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks: The new set, the new rules for certain games, the omission of others, the loss of the game show format... Basically everything that got lost in the shuffle between Whose Line and here. Even Jeff Davis' new modern hairstyle has drawn some hate.
  • Uncanny Valley: Colin the clapping monkey.

Jeff: My god, I will never be the same.
