Line 5:
----
=== [[Stephen Fry]] (Yes, that one) ===
* The entirety of Stephen Fry's last episode, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr3xq1-Su3M especially the Questions Only game "Scenes from Ancient Rome"].
{{quote| '''Josie''': "Are you going to the Parthenon tonight?"<br />
Line 18:
=== Tony Slattery ===
* The British version has some really great ones, including some classic Party Quirks. One being where Tony Slattery was unable to guess two of the quirks and, after Clive Anderson noted that this was his worst playing of the game, Tony responded by screaming [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J60jMh2JDGw "Oh, well, F**K OFF!"], causing Clive to take away all the points Tony had ever got since then. The other being the Party Quirk where Ryan was a toddler learning to walk and Josie Lawrence was [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7trNEapWKo a penis], the actions the two did caused Tony to crack up hysterically.
** Tony realizing that Ryan's Party Quirk was being a sperm cell. "OH MY GOD [[Big No|NOOOO!]]"
Line 33:
=== Paul Merton ===
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVmjuiNf9vg Scenes from a Hat]: "A Weight Watchers Convention".
{{quote| '''Paul''' (''to Josie Lawrence''): No luck then?<br />
Line 74:
=== Josie Lawrence ===
* The [[Dork Age|early seasons]] had a lot of in-between banter compared to the usual, but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th3sdcVxw28&t=2m18s this] interruption of a ''Film TV Theater Styles'' stood out.
{{quote| Clive: "Now do it [[In the Style Of]] a [[Guilty Pleasures|blue movie]]... maybe you've seen a few (sotto) maybe even ''been'' in a few..."<br />
Line 88:
=== Steve Frost ===
* In one of the deleted scenes from the UK show, Tony and Steve performed a "Scene to Music" involving a father sending his son out to buy washing powder. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdKcmjLMO4k The results were nothing short of brilliant.]
{{quote| '''Tony:''' But will it wash my sins away as well as my underpants?<br />
Line 97:
=== Mike McShane ===
* Any time Mike is given a game of "Song Styles" or "Bartender" to play, you can bet that he'll deliver the funnies. For example:
** The famous love duet with Josie about [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgC0Aph2UDc a cat litter tray.]
Line 117:
'''Ryan''': ...<br />
''([[Beat]])''<br />
''
=== Those other Britons... ===
* Griff Rhys Jones and John Sessions [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM4T6M54emk act out a silent movie] a la Charlie Chaplin. John hands Griff his shoe. [[The Gold Rush|He "eats" it]]. John hands him his sock. Griff ''[[I Ate What?|literally]]'' eats it.
* Caroline Quentin: one that isn't quite so overshadowed from the shock value, where she and Josie are portraying female Arctic explorers... the first thing they do is ''complain about the weather and how it's drying their hair and everything.''
=== ...and those wacky Americans ===
* From the British version there's one "Film and Theater styles" with Ryan and Colin in which they have to do the scene in the Shakespearean style. The look on the faces of Tony and Steve in the background while Ryan says his line is also hilarious.
{{quote| '''Clive''': Shakespeare.<br />
Line 200:
----
=== In General... ===
* Chip's spot-on impression of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHCSGRuxXtU Snagglepuss] is amazing. Colin's ATTEMPTED impression of Snagglepuss? HILARIOUS.
** Something of a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] in there - when Chip goes "exit stage right" and breaks into a dash, his stool is left ''bucking back and forth in his wake''. A stock ''Looney Tunes'' effect done for real, and likely unintentional.
Line 239:
=== Moments with Special Guests ===
* The episode with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTxkxG3DF4k Richard Simmons] definitely earns Crowner status here.
** The ''Living Scenery'' game is notable as it is one of the few instances where Colin [[Squick|actually loses his composure]]. That Richard [[Refuge in Audacity|winked at the camera]] [[Large Ham|multiple times]] didn't help.
Line 285:
=== Scenes From A Hat ===
* This entire SFAH [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TqrwSLCsaA here.]
** Drew: "Things that should not have ejector seats."
Line 443:
=== Newsflash ===
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXT6foyWZCw This] Newsflash game is widely considered the show's single funniest game, if only for the line:
{{quote| '''Colin''': It all started with a badly-timed bald joke!}}
Line 474:
=== Scene To Rap ===
* Stephen Colbert adds a lot of flair to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5BGuOUOHcQ this one.]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01Zx_QxfwEM Colin tries to rap]- oh, boy... you can expect what happens next!
=== Millionaire ===
* For the elderly...
* For hillbillies!
Line 487:
=== Press Conference ===
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_KMYPsPNXQ&feature=related Santa Claus].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcChay1nXss&feature=related The Queen of England].
Line 493:
=== Daytime Talk Show ===
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaZsDi-6xmY This gem.]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soIlNWlPmyE&feature=related And this one!]
=== Greatest Hits ===
* A pretty hilarious scene for Colin and Ryan was the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2D5-pUs6z0&feature=related tapioca incident].
** Another Ryan breakdown when Colin again said something completely random and completely funny. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBzwv057GPs See it here].
Line 536:
=== Sound Effects ===
* The crowning moment here is the fabled "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSs7NCWp6kA Quacking Elephants]," a Sound Effects sketch [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]. Drew's meltdown during and after has to be seen to be believed.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Sw7mxYlkks This] sound effects game just might beat the quacking elephant. Especially the noise at the very end.
Line 548:
=== Improbable Mission ===
* Then there was the "impossible mission" game where Colin and Ryan had to clean a new Burnoose for the Emir of Groovefunkistan. Every single member of the cast broke down in laughter at some point. At least one Whose Line forum has adopted "The Cat!" and "The cat is wet now!" as catchphrases, and sell them on T-shirts. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a55kjGzYem4 See for yourself.]
{{quote| Colin: "The tap!... It's rigged!"<br />
Line 563:
=== Weird Newscasters ===
* One of the best "Weird Newscasters" games had Ryan as a matador in a bullfight. He begins a bullfight...with the camera. The camera plays along. ''And wins.''
{{quote| '''Colin''': ...That reminds me, tomorrow we're having an interview with [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Al Gore]]...}}
Line 581:
=== Party Quirks ===
* Ryan's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67iNkmENs9k shattering the light on Drew's desk with his head] is a Crowner for the game itself.
** Even better was that even as glass was falling out of his hair, Ryan ''[[The Show Must Go On|stayed in character the entire time]].'' After the fact, this exchange topped it off:
Line 609:
=== Hoedown! ===
* Akin to ''any'' Hoedown, Ryan will protest he '''HATES THEM TO DEATH.''' However, after the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOLGcl-1cAQ Vending Machine Hoedown]" was screwed up so much, he used the [[Precision F-Strike|magic word]].
* Perhaps one of the best Hoedowns involves [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3s1QZsltAM an epic putdown] against Colin by Chip, followed by a veritable verbal slaughter from Colin in retaliation. And it is hilarious.
Line 618:
=== Irish Drinking Song ===
* In this game, each player sings a successive line of the song; Colin receives the ending line every time. [[Hilarity Ensues|You can imagine how that turns out.]]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIrcrZxizuw This one] takes the cake. Even Laura Hall (the pianist) cracked up.
Line 638:
=== Superheroes ===
* When Wayne was "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5VvGQD9paI Caught in a Wind Tunnel Boy]".
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29uxLWUOwEw Colin leads the team] as [[Captain Obvious]], but the real fun starts when Wayne arrives...
Line 648:
=== Three-Headed Broadway Star ===
* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxSgVBgmlvY I Lost My Legwarmers]". Funny moment within this -- Colin using the word "YOU!" ''nine times'' in a row, then Ryan gets to say "YOU!"...and Colin and Wayne turn to look at him in perfect synchronization. Or maybe it's Wayne's falsetto-out-of-nowhere.
** Even better: once Ryan steals "you!" from Colin, what's the next thing Colin says? "I!"
Line 663:
=== Hollywood Director ===
* Colin's numerous crap [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcyyE06xhEY&t=0m17s declarations] during the game.
* Easily the best playing, largely because of Greg's attempt at a Dutch accent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTGAQzjr34M (SPAWN OF DE DEVILE, FROM DE CENTRE OF DE EARCE!)]
Line 693:
=== Narrate/Film Noir ===
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zyb9sztyDg Maltese Burger] playing, with Colin setting things up so that Ryan would do something that would serve as [[Nightmare Fuel]] for Drew.
** Also, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY5A6C-KGjk This] very censored playing, which ends with Ryan saying "It just occurred to me we're never going to be able to use that".
Line 708:
=== Song Styles/Duets ===
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yca5x4cgO4 TWO BIG MEATBALLS!]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1VudtYZ0uQ H-O-R-W-A-R-D]...!
Line 723:
=== Let's Make A Date ===
* Wayne plays [[The Phantom Menace|Jar Jar Binks.]] Denny initially gets him wrong, but in the process makes [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdRAON0rRDk#t=3m25s the best Let's Make A Date guess of all time.]
* Any time Ryan gets to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OTDbrsY_tU imitate Colin], [[Hilarity Ensues]]... even more so when [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzTn43CZwIc Greg Proops is involved!]
Line 748:
=== Hats ===
* The playing where Greg Proops put on a big fish mask. For a few moments it's very quiet, then you can hear Greg laughing to himself. Finally he takes the mask off and says:
{{quote| '''Greg''': [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}HWtaBEeblT8 I have a giant fish head on.] I'm forty-two [[Precision F-Strike|fucking]] years old.}}
Line 762:
=== Dead Bodies ===
* In one session, Colin had the female audience participant seduce Ryan. He accidentally got her hand too close to Ryan's crotch. Colin caught himself just in time, pulled her hand away as quick as he could, and made [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP1qvI4EBA8 the funniest guilty face of the century] (2'20"). And just for fun, [[Crosses the Line Twice|he does it again]] at 3:50.
** "I'll fight you, using the martial arts I know." "Oh, hot."
Line 770:
=== Living Scenery ===
* See the Moments With Special Guests section for the [[Richard Simmons]] incident.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRt9e59_uZM Playing shower] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|gets steamy]] with Kathy Greenwood...
Line 776:
=== Show-Stopping Number ===
* Every single playing, particularly [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFc1yOOtCr0 this one] when Colin suddenly mutters gibberish.
** What makes this game fun is when Colin suddenly [[Chewing the Scenery|hams up]] or the player's reaction whenever after being buzzed. Example [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsiLa7tHaFc here.] (P/S - Drew almost choked on an Altoid mint!)
Line 782:
=== Number of Words ===
* The Whosers take on ''Star Trek'': [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQL81lJEL4I Just watch the whole thing.]
* Colin absolutely steals [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YgSihQap4o this one.] "My pants metal!"
=== World's Worst... ===
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QnsaE9VjHQ Priest or Rabbi:] Drew's Jerry Lewis impression almost puts Wayne in a coma!
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tjfwUujY_o&t=5m58s Leader During a World Crisis:] Many, but Wayne's Bush jokes and Colin's flat [[Oh Crap]] reaction stood out. (later part of video)
Line 795:
=== Questions Only (and Variants) ===
* Questionable Impressions is a favorite of This Troper. Most of it is because it's hilarious to see Colin try to do impressions. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez4pDBsPoO4 One favorite, which doesn't include much Colin, is the end of this one where Greg (as Yoda) completely starts cracking up when Wayne comes on as Jar-Jar Binks.]
** After the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4H7G9CH1nc&feature=relmfu Questionable Impressions of the Hospital], Drew make a nice comment of it "Now we're going to change the game to : "''Hey! Let's all make idiots of ourselves''", in which Greg nearly does a spit-take.
Line 808:
=== Dubbing/Scene with Audience Member ===
* What starts as an [[Affectionate Parody]] of ''[[West Side Story]]'' flies [[Off the Rails]] due to... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJBtZhHLQ6A well, just watch.]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRO-ovd17IQ This] audience member gets into the groove of things a little too well.
Line 815:
=== Foreign Film Dub ===
* A sneak peek at the upcoming [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYDfSBdKUC8 "Oot 'n' Aboot"], the CANADIAN action film.
** Colin and Ryan's reactions to some of the 'Canadian' have been described as "a rare treat".
Line 823:
=== Infomercial ===
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OMrcYSLpBU DOO DOO DOO DOO! I have no hair!]
** [[Hilarious in Hindsight|Even funnier still, that's a vuvuzela.]]
Line 829:
=== Props ===
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC-DGFWSwyU Ryan gets a little too rough with the props in this one.]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXp7oNem3n0 Colin really hates] [[Kick the Dog|Tiny Tim.]] It happens more than once, too!
