Re: \'Whose line is it anyway\' Hilarious Vid
This reminds me of the forced laughter of the Dean Martin roasts. Improv sucks- not funny.

Re: \'Whose line is it anyway\' Hilarious Vid
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I thought it was pretty funny after Hurrican Katrina how Richard Simmons felt the need to go on tv and cry about how his brother was down in Mississippi, and then it turned out his brother had evacuated and was perfectly safe. [/ QUOTE ] that sounds hilarious! Do you know of any other instances of people on tv crying because they were unsure if their close family members were still alive? Then we, the viewing audience, have the luxury of finding out that the person was found living. That's comedy gold. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] His brother had been contacted fairly quickly, so Simmons was assured that he was okay. he just felt the need to go on national tv on a multi part series to cry like a big over the hill queen. You obviously are not familiar with the story.

[ QUOTE ] I guess the American sense of humour must be v. different to ours. The studio/panel seemed to thing that was the funniest thing ever, and I sadly I didn't. (But I only know Richard Simmons from his Simpsons appearance, so might be missing out on a lot). [/ QUOTE ] It's very different. I have never laughed at the English versios of WLIIA. [/ QUOTE ] You know, I like 'em both. Clive and Drew are totally different, Clive has the superiority thing going (esp. w/ the American panelists) and Drew's self-depricating. What I miss about the British one is Tony Slattery, I thought he was the funniest mf'er on the show.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, yeah, everyone says that. I liked Tony's manic style. Plus I see so much of Mockrie and Stiles on the US version.

[/ QUOTE ] Drew isn't very creative though - everything is worth 1000 pts, and most of the time his jokes are too obvious. [ QUOTE ] What I miss about the British one is Tony Slattery, I thought he was the funniest mf'er on the show. [/ QUOTE ] The funniest part about Tony was that every show there would be a part where he messed up/stumbled/lost his train of thought (especially during the "marching" skits). He always seemed to be a step below everyone else on the show in terms of improv talent, and I think his struggles made him funny.
