Simmons and the following clip were always my favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJfeTAm65NE

1 of my favorite is when wayne brady picks up a girl from the audience before or after a game, and accidently flashes her underwear to the audience.

Not only did I, my brother, and the audience laugh long and hard, but so did the cast members. Rest of the show they would keep referencing her underwear in every game after that for that episode and it just stayed funny the whole time...

Poor girl was really embaressed though.

Another great part of the show is they would keep joking with each other's main physical traits

Ryan - tall/shoe size
Colin - Bald
Drew Carey - Weight

Time to see if I can name as many games as possible

+Green Screen
+Props
+If you know what I mean
+Limited lingo (Each person in a scene could only speak so many words per sentence)
+Scenes from a hat
+Question Game
+Alphabet Game
+Informercial
+Hoedown
+News Comedy (Where they pretend to be a news group, each person has a different quark)
+Party Game
+**(Game where 1 person is the arms of another in a 2 person scene)

The Colin-Ryan relationship was amazing. So much wit back and forth.

My favorite scene was when Wayne? was blown away and knocked over his water pitcher. Colin and Ryan milked that to the extreme.

the original UK version was much better than the Drew Carrey US version. Had a lot of Ryan Stiles and Greg Proops.

Well everygame they brought it up. However the finale was amazing as Ryan stiles used it in the Hoedown in a funny play on words.

It topped the episode off to amazing. It really was a good show.

It was good. However there was just something the US one brought that the UK one didn't.

there's always someone...

Apparently he's part of the majority, seeing how the show got canceled. It didn't run a long successful course like Cheers or Sienfield and go out on top. It got pulled, and when that happens it's because enough people didn't like it. Now they're bringing it back, and it will end up getting canned again.

My favorite scene from the show was when they used to play the props game where they used the other people as props. Colin and Ryan were making toast, and Wayne was Colin's piece of toast. When he came up out of the toaster, Colin said "oh...that's the way I like it". I couldn't stop laughing at that for the longest time.

I hated how Drew would always say that the points didn't matter. Yeah, we know, you don't have to say it every goddamn episode.

He also mentioned stuff about "stop sending letters." Either that was part of the joke, or else there are too many people out there with way too much time on their hands. After seeing some of the stupid stuff people get upset or obsessed over, I'd vote on the latter.

"We got more angry letters about the points not adding up correctly. We can't tolerate the potential 0.003% ratings hit! Keep the points gag going, but really stress that they don't matter."

I mostly just wanted Drew to stop talking, period.
To quote Colin in a bit to Ryan:
"Wow! That was almost like humor!"



The Colin-Ryan relationship was amazing. So much wit back and forth.
One nose joke is made.
"Youuuuu started it!"

"We went fifteen minutes tonight. Now the fun begins.:)"


In the "Greatest Hits" segments, I came to prefer the Ryan/Colin sections more than the singing.

My favorite scene was when Wayne? was blown away and knocked over his water pitcher. Colin and Ryan milked that to the extreme.
"Points, Colin?
Mmm, I couldn't possibly have any more points!"

I think Brad knocked over a water table as well.

"There's a lot of water near the electric wires back there."



Am I the only one who thinks the show is partially scripted? Most scenes are too good to be true.

They must practice partially so they'll get an idea to make spontaneous jokes.
There are outtakes, which in some cases are funnier than the regular stuff. (Disney-owned network. Dammit.)
They also go nuts with the editing in some episodes, too. Sometimes people will have coats on one second, then the next jump-cut, the coat's off, even though the audio transition sounds seamless.

loved that show, glad they're bringing it back! US version was on comedy central all the time in college, i'm not one of those "The UK version is always better" because in this case the US version was just as good.
