Whose Line Is It Anyway

March 6, 2008

Cue in Drew Carey:

Welcome to “Whose Line Is It Anyway”! The show where everything’s made up and the points don’t matter! Yes, the points don’t mean a thing, they’re like the person behind you in the buffet line. Who cares?

This is one of the best (and probably only) improvised game show. It’s a game show that’s not exactly a game show; There are points, but they don’t mean anything; There’s a winner decided only by the game show host (never from the points accumulated). They make things up at the top of their heads, with no scripts and practices before-hand. They perform Scene to Rap, Two-line Vocabulary, Sound Effect, Hoedowns, Irish drinking songs, Helping hands, Hats, Scenes from a hat, at marami pang many more! They have occasional bloopers that do nothing worse than to contribute to the humor.

The people you usually see are the host: Drew Carey, and the players: Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, and a guest. The guests I could most notably remember are Cathy Greenwood, Brad Sherwood, Chip Esten, and Greg Proops, and there were even a couple of shows with Richard Simmons and with Robin Williams.

One of my favorite games is Questions Only. This is where the players are only allowed to speak in questions. If one takes too long to say anything, or does not speak in a form of a question, the host buzzes and the next player has to replace the one buzzed out.

Example:

1: “Have you heard that the circus is coming?”
2: “Where did you get that from?”
1: “Didn’t you read the newspaper?”
2: “Do I look like I can see?”
1: “You mean you’re blind?”
2: “…”

*Buzz*

Really, I invite you guys to laugh with me as we watch the Whose Line cast do their best to entertain us.

And I know I’m not the best advertiser for Whose Line, but I don’t care! :D
