I’ve always liked American shows, series (like “Three’s company”) and stuff, i guess culturally it fits me. I also love stand up comedy. Actually anything that has to do with it, stand up, imrpov etc. About a year ago i discovered a great show, “Whose line is it anyway”. It started as an English show, back in the eighties and then in ’98 it went to the states. I guess all my American readers should already know what i am talking about, all the othersshould have to take a quick look on Imdb.
While i watched all 8 seasons, i was taking notes on the best lines i heard on the show. Now, there are many many more, but here is a small list of my favorite ones.
They can be split up on different categories, starting with some of Drew’s solo lines:
my blow up doll run off with my air mattress
halloween the period which dentists like to call christmass
i’m Drew Carrey i never touched your daughter quit calling me
(after something embarassing) we usually have a lot to appologise on the show, put it on our account
welcome to WLIIA the show that Nostradamos never saw it coming
do you like happy endings? play the show backwards…
welcome to WLIIA the most fun you can have without renting shoes
If you are keeping score at home, God bless you!
I’m Drew Carrey and just like a muppet, i have someone’s hand up my butt
(Drew Carrey)Did you hug your daughter during the break? Did ya? Cause i did!
(Drew Carrey) Whose making love to your lady while you are out making love? That’s me!!
Hey I’m Drew Carrey or as Hanibal Lecter calls me “Dinner for two”
(Drew Carrey) …the losers get to calculate how deep the oceans would be if there where no sponges in it!
And here are a few from some acts:
(Colin looking at Ryan’s big blue shoes) How many smurfs did you have to step on to get those?
(after heavy joking about Colin’s loud shirt) Colin: I can’t believe i am missing bald jokes!
(Brad showing Colin’s bald head) You don’t want your forehead become a five-head if you know what i mean!
(on a scenes from a hat, the act was “slogans on t-shirts worn by George W. Bush”) The W. stands for “honesty”
(on a duop song) “you bended way back and ended with your head inside your crack”
(Ryan with a pilot hat)Wanna have a seat on my COCK-pit?
(Ryan as Adam, Collin as Eve) Ryan – “Whats is this?” Collin – “An extra rib. I was going to make a mistress!”
Finally, my all time classic. When the show started Drew always used the line “Hello and welcome to Whose line is it anyway, the show where everything is made up and the points don’t matter. That’s right, points don’t matter like…”
– security cameras on a 99 cent store
– as rediculus as an armed guard on a 99 cent store
– families of the politicians
– the boufet at a strip club
– like a peep whole in a nursing home
– if the points where on scooby-doo they’d be Vilma
– steak sauce in India
– parking tickets to a judge
– as useless as that computer you bought last christmass
– wedding ring on a bussiness trip
– whether your porn is on DVD or VHS
– point’s don’t exist like online privacy
– don’t matter like anything else when you own a porche
– breathmint on a garlic festival
– if the points where cheerleaders they would be guys cheerleaders
– if the points where military power they would be Canada
– like the talent portion of the Miss America contest
– just like that cute thing your baby just learned to do
– conversation at a strip club
– like whatever you say after sex
– like the police in Colombia
– women’s tennis. doesn’t matter who wins, just fun to watch
– like the angry voices in my head
– it’s like when i say “i love you” when i am drunk
– just like a strippers name
– like the tip jar at Starbucks
– like parking tickets
– like the food at hooters
– like a comb to Colin Mochrie
– just like how your x(-wife) is doing…
– like what your girlfriend says when the game is on
– how wrong your girlfriend is when you are having a fight with her
– like 4th of July in England
– like the host in WLIIA
– who has to use the bathroom after you do
– like the cost of your funeral
– what music they play during a lapdance
– like the guy that hosts the show where everything is made up and the points don’t matter
– your contractor’s first estimate
– the guy giving away the points on the show where points don’t matter
– acordion in an unlocked car
– how fat i am when i’m at a strip club (Drew Carrey)
– the Alaskan wilderness to an oil company
– morning breath when you are horny
– like a vibrator with dead batteries
– like who’s behind you in the buffet line
– just like my Ab machine (Drew Carrey)
I really laughed hard with this show. Have you seen it? Do you remember any line?
Whose line is it anyway is telecasted in India too… Though I am not a regular viewer but it sure is damn good…
Colin is the best due to his dirty humor though 😀
And Stratosg, Check out Benny Hill show.. it is an 80’s show I guess.. Trust me, you will have tear laughs when you watch it!
And nice to see you blogging again 😉
I haven’t watched the show but i am tempted to watch it after reading this
Trust me, I found it way too hard to grasp it when I started watching it initially. But then, once I got hold of it, nothing could stop me from rolling over again and again 😀
@Sid,
No wonder you like Benny Hill’s show 😀
I don’t watch TV. But with all the comments, I will try to watch it.
My son loves this show, and whilst I’ve watched it a couple of times I couldn’t really get into it. Still I love some of the stuff those Yanks put out and one of my favorite is Two And a Half Men. It’s a real scream.
@All: Thanks for dropping by!
@Sire: Oh you have found a soft spot of mine… I love two and a half men. Charlie is my favorite of all time. I am seriously thinking of creating a best of lines of Charlie’s as well…
yeah, Charlie cracks me up, but Jake sure is a character. It’s just not the same if I miss out on Two and a Half men, even if it’s a repeat it’s still good.
That was a great show … very funny. I didn’t watch it often enough to remember any lines.
Have you seen How I Met Your Mother – that’s my favorite tv comedy right now.
@Sire: Yah the “knucklehead” as Charlie calls him is hilarious as well… Great show indeed…
@Kim: No i haven’t seen it but i might as well check it out since you mentioned it 😉
As Kim said how I met your mother is also a good show and I think you will appreciate it but as far as laughs go Two and Half men is tops.
I love the show! I remember my first WLIIA show was having Ryan making sound effects while Colin went on with the acts.. is it something about ambulance?.. I hardly recall now ’cause got many similar ones after that, but I laughed so much, couldn’t get up. Anyhow, great show and really miss it. Thanks for bringing it up. ^^
@Ching Ya: This was exactly the case! You are talking about the game “sound effects” and the first ever played scene was Colin being an ambulance driver. H-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s! Thanks for dropping by and showing me i am not the only one 😉
Man I loved that show…too bad they canceled it.
i really love this comedy TV Series, Allyson Hannigan is also very pretty.~~:
