Whose Line Is It Anyway?/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fridge Brilliance: during the Hollywood Director clip under Pizza Boy Special Delivery above, Colin mentions that they "couldn't get a real helicopter" - there's an actual filming safety regulation that prevents the use of real helicopters[1]. Which most likely wasn't what he meant, but still.
    • Happens within the show too - during Scenes from a Hat, the suggestion "Bad Choices For A Presidential Running Mate" comes up, and Wayne goes into Gary Coleman mode while standing beside Colin, who's presumably the "presidential candidate"... until Drew points out that Colin even resembles Mr Drummond from Diff'rent Strokes, elevating the intended reference.
      • There's also the time where Colin was "a hairdresser whose colleagues all phoned in sick" in Sound Effects, and apparently got so "stressed out" from working several "customers" at once that he slipped into his Enemy to All Living Things act. Drew waited till it was over to comment "looks like Colin has a thing against places where they cut your hair."
    • What's with Colin's garish shirts, you ask? It's so that he never winds up interfering with the Chroma Key during Newsflash, that's what.
    • The infamous all-players meltdown from the "Yelled Out The Wrong Name In Bed" Irish Drinking Song started out when Drew stumbled over the pronunciation of "Elaine". Which was really the whole point.
      • Not so much, Drew first tripped over the word "girl" by saying "larl."
    • For the UK version, you have the live-action intro. Improv is about the acting and jokes without the props and costumes; the intro has the costumes and props, but without the actors.
