If You Don't Laugh At This. . .
Thanks to a recent Facebook status update from my sister, I was reminded that I have never posted some of my favorite Whose Line Is It Anyway scenes. This show (Sadly now off the air) was all improv and produced some of the funniest stuff to ever air on television.
Case in point, here is one of my favorite games. It is called "Quick Change." When ever Wayne says "Change", the actor has to say his last line again differently. It is absolutely hilarious. If you don't laugh at this, you have something wrong with ya! My favorite exchange from the one below is:
"Why can't we just live in peace?"
"Change."
"Why can't we all just sing a rousing song of Kumbaya?"
"Change."
"Why can't we make a nice felt marker out of twigs and a popular cola?"
"Change."
"Why can't we just... walk in a circle, quack like a duck and pretend it's--"
"Change."
"Hey! I'm staying out of this!"





Its interesting, on so many things our humor matches up perfectly, but I never liked this show at all. I'll admit there were occasionally funny moments, but I thought they were far outweighed by the skits falling flat.
Did you watch the above clip? Surely you were laughing your tail off.
I agree the above clip is one of the funny ones..although from my limited viewings of the show, I always thought (and thought in this clip) the bald dude was the worst of them, and the "president" was always the funniest.
Yeah, your "funny meter" is just whacked out on this. Colin (the bald dude) is by far the funniest on the show, as highlighted in my quoted section of his above.
I agree he ends the bit strong with that quoted language, but overall he always seemed the weakest at the actual "improv", which bugged me.
