As a dedicated fan who has spent countless hours laughing at the antics of these talented performers, I must say that each episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway? is a treasure trove of hilarity. From Colin’s struggle with rhymes to Drew’s unique takes on characters, every performance adds a new layer of comedy to the mix.
Without a doubt, one standout choice for an unforgettable improvisational comedy TV show is “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” Initially conceived for British television and later transformed for American audiences under the guidance of host Drew Carey, this beloved series spanned from 1998 to 2006. The cast, comprised of four sharp-minded comedians (including regulars Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie, and Ryan Stiles), engaged in games that required them to create off-the-cuff scenarios for trivial points. Their hilarious antics never failed to bring laughter, and these are some of the most amusing “Whose Line” moments we’ve ever seen.
Colin Impersonates An “Arctic Tern” During Greatest Hits
In a round of “Greatest Hits,” where Wayne creates songs based on suggestions from Ryan and Colin, Ryan asks what sound a bird makes that resembles the name of the upcoming artist on their CD collection. Colin replies with an Arctic Tern and mimics “Backstreet Boys!” After a fit of laughter, it turns out that Ryan was trying to trick Colin into saying an owl since The Who was the band he intended to mention next.
Brad Struggles To Rhyme A Lady’s Name During Song Styles
In an uncommon episode of “Song Styles,” I, Brad Sherwood, took center stage all by myself. The lucky audience member I was to serenade went by the name Neroshi. Drew Carrey playfully warned me about the difficulty in rhyming with such a unique name. My creative solutions? Why, I came up with “suntan loshey” and “Pacific Oshey,” if you can believe it! What a challenge, yet oh-so-fun!
The Going Bald Hoedown
In one particularly engaging version of the game “Hoedown,” which is known for pushing the cast to improvise songs spontaneously, the inspiration comes from an audience member’s idea to create a song about baldness. True to form, Brad and Drew target Colin with their lyrics, but Colin retaliates cleverly by asserting that his hair loss (baldness) isn’t his fault and that he enjoys a more successful love life than both of them.
Ryan’s Head Smashes A Neon Light During Party Quirks
In the midst of our “Party Quirks” game, I found myself embodying the unforgettable Carol Channing, with a unique twist – my head kept sticking to various objects. At one point, in true character, I blundered into a square neon light right by Drew’s desk. Glass shards rained down as a result, but with grit and determination, I didn’t break character for a moment. Drew, my fellow cast member from “The Drew Carey Show,” sprang into action to make sure I was unscathed after the mishap.
Song Styles As The Village People
Among the segments often prone to errors on the show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” is a Village People-inspired rendition of “Song Styles.” In this instance, Wayne mistakenly spells the audience member’s name as “H-O-R-W-A-R-D,” when it should be “H-O-W-A-R-D,” similar to the lyrics in “YMCA.” The humor escalates significantly when, during the song, Laura Hall’s keyboard unintentionally increases its tempo to an absurd pace, causing the performance to go awry.
Drew Forgets The Rules Of Three-Headed Broadway Star
In the game “Three-Headed Broadway Star,” each performer contributes a single word to a song in turn. During one of Drew’s initial rounds, he hesitates, begins to sing “And take me on a-” but then laughs and accidentally almost finishes a word for Wayne, leaving it unfinished.
Narrate At A Fast Food Restaurant
In this installment of their unique act, Ryan and Colin create a scene from an unconventional film noir movie, with each actor revealing their character’s inner thoughts to the audience. This time, their performance unfolds at a fast-food joint, where Colin’s character is on a quest for the elusive Maltese Burger. What makes this segment truly iconic is the climactic scene where, after Colin hints that Ryan might do something bizarre and out of the ordinary, Ryan surprises everyone by planting a passionate kiss on his co-star.
Drew’s Flubbed African Chant Intro
In discussing one of the early versions of the game “African Chant”, Drew pointed out that “Africa is quite large”. This comment prompted Greg Proops to chuckle, replying “Well, if you’re a geographer, it’s an entire continent!”. This exchange sparked a series of jokes aimed at the host.
News Flash With Clips Of Colin
In the game named “News Flash,” Colin often found himself standing before a green screen, where he was challenged to identify the video playing behind him based on hints given by two other performers acting as anchors. Notably, Drew Carey once highlighted an exceptional episode featuring Colin enacting scenes in response to clips of his most humorous moments from “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”, a moment of recognition triggered when Chip Esten mentioned an “extraordinary glimmer.
Living Scenery With Richard Simmons
In “Living Scenery,” the primary task falls on Colin and Ryan, often joined by others, to perceive their fellow actors as scene props. The most entertaining scenario typically includes Richard Simmons, who enthusiastically plays his part. During a segment where he’s supposed to represent a jetski, Richard instead humorously simulates an inappropriate act with Colin, causing the trio of Ryan, Wayne, and Drew to erupt in laughter.
Colin Dances With Wayne For Greatest Hits
In the futuristic version of “Greatest Hits,” here I am, your friendly gamer, stepping into the limelight! Colin, the host, reveals my surprise cameo in a breakdancing anthem titled “Asteroid Boogaloo.” I didn’t factor in how breathless I’d be after the show, but Ryan and the crowd’s persistent cheers convinced me to give it a go.
Questionable Impressions At A Hospital
In certain episodes of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”, the performers engaged in a spin-off of the game “Questions Only” titled “Dubious Impersonations”. This game demanded that they portray a character or public figure in every turn. Towards the end of one hospital-themed edition, where Ryan became unhinged as Jerry Lewis and Wayne transformed into Jimmy Durante, Drew quipped that the game should be renamed, “Why not, let’s all play the fool together.
Gibberish And Meowing Derails Irish Drinking Song
It’s generally thought that the most amusing rendition of “Irish Drinking Song” occurred when it humorously revolved around mistakenly calling out the wrong name during an intimate situation. However, this theme never fully develops as Drew unintentionally sings something ambiguous and unsuitable for rhyming, leading Ryan to respond with nonsensical words. Wayne bursts into laughter at this point, while Colin attempts to maintain order by meowing (a reference to a previous event during filming), which only intensifies the chaos even further.
Audience Members Can’t Make The Right Sound During Sound Effects
Originally, “Sound Effects” had Colin perform a solo scene with Ryan supplying the background sounds, but later transformed into a joint performance where both actors played their parts, while spectators were asked to generate various sounds. The most amusing episode, starring Colin and Ryan as police officers, featured two female audience members attempting to produce appropriate noises. At one point, they managed to react to a prompt and mimic a duck’s sound effectively. However, when instructed to make an elephant noise, they accidentally quacked again.
Colin Ribs Ryan For His Punny Segue During Greatest Hits
After I attempted to slip in a joke about playing a jitterbug tune on “Greatest Hits”, jokingly claiming a “bug” was making me feel jittery, Ryan gave me a hard time for my weak transition with a few clever puns. First, he compared witnessing a strongman bend a car at the circus to Pat Benatar, then shared a tale about toilet paper used by the Phillies that filled his bed when I was a jockey, which he claimed sounded like “bed cot Phillie paper” – a playful nod to Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Robin Williams Questions His Participation In An Episode
In a unique show spotlighting Robin Williams, host Drew presents a “Scenes from a Hat” suggestion: “If Robin Williams were here today, what might he be thinking.” With his illustrious Oscar in hand, the celebrated comedian responds humorously, “I’ve got a career. What am I doing here?
Colin Holds A Press Conference As The Queen Of England
Press Conference” can be rephrased as a guessing game similar to “Whose Line Is It Anyway?, where three extra performers take on the roles of reporters, subtly hinting at Colin’s character. In this scenario, Colin is unaware that he is portraying figures like Santa Claus announcing his retirement and Yogi Bear confessing to killing Boo-Boo. However, one of the funniest prompts requires Colin to guess that he is Queen Elizabeth II, who is admitting to an affair with Ryan.
Wayne Performs A Death Match Between James Brown And Michael Jackson
The Unusual News Team” is headed by a primary anchor who’s fairly ordinary, but he presents three unique reporters. In an unusual segment, Wayne had to portray both Michael Jackson and James Brown, depicting them as if they were in a fatal showdown. The Godfather of Soul emerged victorious in this fictional battle.
Helping Hands With Florence Henderson
In the segment “Helping Hands,” guest star Florence Henderson takes part, with Colin serving as Ryan’s arms. A game that starts out lighthearted, turns unexpectedly reflective when Florence reenacts her character Carol Brady from The Brady Bunch, scolding her on-screen daughter, Jan (played by Ryan). However, things take an unforeseen turn when Ryan’s wig slips off and Henderson playfully feeds him a slice of meatloaf and pie doused in ketchup.
Party Quirks With Wayne Brady As King Kong
During the “Party Quirks” game, inspired by the famous monster clash in King Kong vs. Godzilla, Wayne picked up Melissa, a female spectator, mimicking King Kong’s iconic carry. Unfortunately, he unintentionally raised her skirt higher than intended, causing discomfort for Melissa and peals of laughter from Drew.
The Office Edition Of If You Know What I Mean
In the story “If You Know What I Mean”, Colin, Brad, and Ryan are characters who communicate mostly using veiled phrases. One amusing instance takes place in an office building where Colin appears to come up with a totally perplexing idiom. After Brad requests assistance with his “huge filing cabinet,” Colin replies, “I’ll help you plump up your Garfield, if you catch my drift.
Colin And Ryan’s Celluloid (Er, Cellulite) Solution
In one entertaining version of the game “Infomercial,” Colin and Ryan assume roles as TV salespeople peddling a wondrous product. During this skit, they imaginatively propose a solution for cellulite using items available to them. The scene becomes particularly amusing due to Ryan’s continuous mispronunciation of the condition, making it seem as though he is actually discussing celluloid, a term synonymous with film.
Colin Becomes Captain Hair
One standout episode of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”‘s “Superheroes” series starts with Colin taking on the character Captain Hair, who was given his name by an audience member. In this storyline, Captain Hair finds himself in a predicament when the world unexpectedly runs out of Rogaine, forcing him to seek assistance from his fellow superheroes.
Colin And Ryan Embark On An Improbable Laundry Assignment
In the game “Improbable Mission,” Colin and Ryan assume roles as undercover agents who are given ordinary chores like laundering clothes for a foreign dignitary. During this particular mission, Ryan becomes increasingly frustrated by Colin’s outlandish ideas, such as drying laundry with a stray cat they encounter.
Colin’s Many Hilarious Weird Newscasters Intros
Whenever Colin takes on the role of the main anchor for the “Quirky News Casters” game, he kicks off with an absurd pseudonym like “Lars Lars Sonphar” or “Thor Backside”. Following this, he shares the primary story, often a cleverly complex pun. For instance, he might announce that George W. Bush would be joining The Byrds as both guitarist and drummer, implying that “a Bush in the band is worth two in the Byrds.
The 1930s Gangster Version Of The Millionaire Show
Each episode of the “Millionaire Show” segment in Whose Line Is It Anyway? featured a unique theme. One particularly amusing one had the host, Colin, along with game show contestant Ryan, Wayne, and Karen Maruyama adopting characters resembling those from early 20th-century crime dramas.
Colin Gets Up Close And Personal During Party Quirks
As an enthusiastic fan, I can’t help but share my excitement for one of the hilarious rounds in “Party Quirks.” In this game, the character Colin takes center stage as a man who harbors suspicions about Kathy Greenwood’s party guests and their claimed genders. His quest for truth leads him to push some boundaries, even going so far as to touch the performers where it matters most – that’s where the proof lies!
Drew And Wayne Speak “Canadian”
In the game titled “Foreign Film Dub,” it’s usually Drew and another actor who mimic speaking a different language, while Colin and Ryan serve as translators. One instance featured Drew and Wayne portraying the fictional Canadian language, which they humorously represented with numerous “eh’s” and hockey-related references.
Drew Imagines The World’s Worst Priest Or Rabbi
In the game titled “World’s Worst,” four entertainers, often featuring Drew as the final act, each present their portrayal of the most disastrous scenarios related to various topics, such as neighbors or shipmates. For the special edition themed “Priest or Rabbi,” Drew left everyone in the room laughing uproariously (and even chuckled himself) with his impression of Jerry Lewis transformed into a rabbi.
Audience Member Does Not Take Hint To Move Tonto’s Head
In “Moving People,” Colin and Ryan acted as mannequins who could only be moved by two selected viewers. During one performance, one viewer had difficulty following some instructions given by Ryan. Throughout the act, Ryan, portraying Tonto, subtly hinted for the audience member to nod or shake their head, but didn’t physically move until the very end of the skit.
Colin Gives Up At A Scene To Rap
It was evident that Colin’s rhymes in the “Scene to Rap” game didn’t showcase one of his skills. Occasionally, he’d pause during a rap, like when he wrote a verse set at a park characterizing himself as a “friendly mugger,” demanding random items, and then abruptly stopped rapping, claiming he was insane before starting to dance.
Drew Wins Horseshoes During Props
In the fun game called “Props,” Drew and Ryan were each provided with a big foam horseshoe-like object. They mimicked the well-known lawn game, where Ryan acted as the stake. During one attempt, Drew skillfully tossed the prop and managed to place it flawlessly around Ryan’s neck, thus earning points for that round.
