Line 18:
** Whenever the suggestion is something like "People you wouldn't want to see as _____" Colin and Ryan would walk out on stage, simply stand there for a moment, then walk back off.
* Ryan's Carol Channing impression, which he can apparently maintain [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67iNkmENs9k even while suffering a concussion].
* ''Foreign Film Dub'' would sometimes have [[Translation: "Yes"|a lengthy dialogue translated as one or two words and vice versa]].
* Upon the big switch to the US series, Greg's outfit would always include a jacket - which was ALWAYS utilised whenever Wayne did his James Brown impression.
* From ''Greatest Hits'', [[One Word|one word]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Mu-iS41EVs&feature=related Sleep.]
Line 36:
** The cat.
* ''Hollywood Director'' has spawned two as well - Colin's tendency to yell 'crap' of course, and Ryan or Wayne being the token [[Professional Butt Kisser]] in the 'cast'.
* ''Newsflash'' has also spawned two - it begins with a [[Is This Thing Still On?]] gag, and there's always a blatant attempt to mess with the 'field reporter' by making him describe what scene he is in, or explain its cause, ''before'' dropping the hints. To his credit, Colin would ''always'' have a ready answer.
* ''Home Shopping'' resulted in the only known outright copout by Colin and Ryan [[Refuge in Audacity|(spun into a Running Gag because the audience loved it anyway)]]:
{{quote| (picks up unknown item) "What's that doing in there?" "I dunno." (discards)}}
Line 56:
* Ryan's attempt to strongarm ''Questions Only'' in a direction of his choosing by going "Haven't we met before?" or something similar.
* Ryan really doesn't like Michael Bolton. He's not crazy about Fresno either.
* Whenever Colin had a joke based on a setting that was [[So Unfunny ItsIt's Funny|hilarious only because of how bad it was]], he would mime taking a drink. This happened most often in ''If You Know What I Mean.''
* An occasional recurring gag in the U.S. version is Drew doing a [[Take That]] on a celebrity and adding after the joke, "Just kidding around if I ever run into you in real life", or alternatively, pretending to be the celebrity in question: "I think I'll cheer myself up by watching some Whose Line... OH NO!"
* During hoedowns, Ryan frequently concluded the song with a joke at Drew Carey's expense. If his penultimate line ends in "hairy" or "scary," you can bet on what's about to come up.
