A moment when I WENT aww? I can do better than that. I can do a moment where I have an aww spasm everytime I see it.
It's the most adorable moment in Whose Line history.
It was on the british version. They were doing a hoedown. Clive Anderson (who hosted the british version) looks at the audience and asks for a topic. You know what the audience said?
Colin.
They wanted a hoedown about Colin.
So, okay. Clive picks that one. The music starts, Greg starts by doing a hoedown like Colin, this other black guy who I don't know his name goes on to say something about Colin being a follicly challenged canuck, Colin goes on to say that of him they were all making a Mochrie, and then it's Ryan's turn.
Oh boy.
Well, Ryan's goes like this:
Ryan: Oh, you've got to love Colin, love him to the end, I have to admit that he is my best friend........
And as I don't have the rest memorized, I'll just explain that Ryan went on to say that he still had more hair than Clive.
And as if that weren't cute enough, as Greg and black guy are singing the ending ("Has more hair than Cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!") Colin looks at Ryan smiling, and runs jumps into Ryan's arms. And it's the sweetest bro hug in the history of ever. It's just so friggin' gagdgdasgdsagdsasdhakhlkxdghfjkdals!!!!!!!!!! I can't describe how cute and sweet it was, you need to watch the video.
ISN'T IT JUST THE SWEETEST THING IN THE HISTORY OF FRIGGIN' EVER?!?!?!?! *has a seizure*
It's the sweetest, cutest, most "aww" moment in Whose Line history.
But, if we're still going with this, I'd just like to say that I just about went aww whenever Colin made the puppy eyes. He's just so adorable. :)
Peace out, Whosebuddies,
MeganH
P.S If you didn't go "aww" at any of this, you're zarkin' crazy.
Day 23: Best Carol Channing Impersonation
Uhm..... really? I mean, they were all awesome, how can I really choose?
I'm going to go with the ones that stick with me (it's tied up).
Number one: In Scenes From a Hat, the thing was "if celebrities were the first people on the moon" or something along those lines. So Ryan goes up and, in his Carol Channing voice, says: "Well, this place is as dry and barren as I am!"
Never fails to make me smile.
Number two would be during Questionable Impressions (the scene was was supposed to be at a police department).
Ryan: (doing Jerry Lewis) Can you tell me where someone might report a crime in the VOYDEN GYLEHN? Brad: (doing Yogi Bear) Are you Carol Channing? Ryan: *pauses* (doing Carol Channing) Would you like me to be Carol Channing?
So yeah.
Hey, I'm late on the update this time, but it's because I had a sleepover last night and a party during the day, so I really didn't have any time to write this post. So, without further ado.....
Day 21: Most Awkward Moment
Uhm........ I don't know. Hard to think of any particular moment that really stood out as awkward (maybe cause the show itself is too silly, all the moments that would be awkward just blend in like a chameleon). But there's a few floating in my head, so let's see.
Melissa's Underwear Incident. That was, um, unfortunate, to say the least. But it really doesn't strike me as the most awkward moment, so let's see.
OH! I know. In Weird Newscasters, Wayne was supposed to be rescuing the audience from a fire or something like that. So he took like two rows of audience members from one of the stands and had them crawl, like, backstage, then came back to rescue some more, but the audience members didn't move cause I guess they didn't want to spoil the game (the Whose Line audience is so awesome). Well, the game ended and the cast are all sitting in their seats on top of the stage and Drew's just moving on to the next game, when one or two audience members start like sneaking back to their seats. And then Drew was all "Oh, right! Yeah, you guys can come back now," and the audience members all quickly went back to their spots, their faces red and everyone was laughing....... I don't know. It just seemed really awkward for everyone. I mean, Melissa's Underwear Incident was humiliating, but I didn't find it awkward. But the audience all just kind of crawling under the cameras back to their seat...... that was awkward.
Peace out Whosebuddies,
MeganH
P.S YES there's a difference betweeen humiliating and awkward! THERE IS!!!!! (I'm sleep deprived).
Day 20: Favourite Audience Suggestion
Once again, Captain Hair comes to mind, but as I've used that one already I should really think of another one. But that's really difficult, man. I mean, there are so many, and yet, not nearly enough........ I really don't know. But, well, let's see.
Suicide boy. That was pretty good.
Tacky Shirt Man. Never gets old.
They didn't use this, but I remember during Superheroes someone yelled "Orgasmo!" as a suggestion. That makes me laugh, even if they didn't use it.
Unaired Superheroes, they did Blind Jim, but the producer cut it short because.... well, that could be offensive. Still, what a great superhero name.
All of these are from Superheroes, but whatever.
Film, TV and Theatre Styles: Swedish Porn Movie. It's just so random....! Or no, that wasn't Film, TV and Theatre Styles. That was Hollywood Director. Which means Colin made that up.
Okay, so all of the things ARE from Superheroes. Sue me.
I'm going to go with Tacky Shirt Man, just because of how they played on it for the rest of the taping and I just love how Colin is the Lightning Rod of Hate.
Peace out, Whosebuddies,
MeganH
P.S "Well now the sleeves just make the shirt look silly!" xD
Hey, guys, didn't get to tell my readers in time, but I went camping AGAIN about three days after I came back from Timberline. Yeah. I have a life. When my parents plan one for me.
Just thought I'd let you know what the week and a half long delay was about and that I haven't given up on anything I was blogging about. So I will now continue that.
In a previous post, I mentioned I had started watching a show called Almost Heroes.
I have finished the series (it didn't run very long, only one season) and I have a review ready for it.
First of all, it actually is funny. And not just because a certain Colin Mochrie is in it. It's actually got funny writing and everything. It made me laugh.
That being said...........
It wasn't that great. I'm sorry, but it wasn't. I only watched it because I'm a Colin fangirl and it was my duty. As a nerd/geek, I enjoyed the fact that it was sort of centered around geeks and their, shall we say, eccentricities, but besides that..... I dunno. I think mostly the character Bernie just really annoyed me and she was just always there. SOMETHING threw me off.
But like I said, the writing itself was actually funny, in my quirky sense of humour kind of way (I've been told my sense of humour is "quirky". I don't know if that means different or weird or retarded or what, but whatever. It is what it is).
Anyways, information on Colin's character.
His name was Boyd. He's the security guard of that strip mall. He's pretty much the crazy homeless guy (which of course suits Colin perfectly), living in his van and doing/saying crazy random things. He apparently doesn't actually know how to do his job as a security guard, because when Bernie has a knife held against her throat and Boyd is about two feet away, he does nothing. Also when the nerds all ganged up on Peter and rampaged, he didn't do anything then either because "HE BROUGHT A GODDAM HORSE."
It's a funny show. Colin of course helps that, but it really is.
Back from Timberline! Not my best Timberline year, but when we laughed we laughed a lot. MAN.
Anyways,
Day 19: Favourite Greatest Hits
The first one that comes to mind is Songs of Horror.
It's just got that classic Ryan & Colin banter - you know what I'm talking about! Colin putting Ryan in his place, Ryan laughing almost uncontrollably (though not as bad in this one as in the Arctic Tern, or Tapioca) and Ryan.... well, being Ryan. Come on. And the songs that Wayne and Chip improvise are pretty good too.
But my absolute favourite is probably Songs of the Motorcycle.
First and foremost, this contains Colin's infamous Animal Porn moment, which in itself is just hysterical. Also, the songs that Jeff and Wayne do in this are pretty amazing. It's just an all around great playing of this game.
But while I'm doing this, I'd like to give a shout out to Songs of the Hitman and Songs of Women.
Songs of the Hitman because the songs they do are actually really great - I mean they do it really really well! And Songs of Women because, well, I just love the banter in that one. My personal opinion of course.
But Songs of the Motorcycle is totally my favourite.
Okay. Yeah. There you go.
Peace out Whosebuddies,
MeganH
P.S Bend a car? Pat Benatar!!! ..... it just never loses it's magic.
Gone to a summer camp by the name of Timberline Ranch for a week with Anna, Emma, Cooper and Tyler, as per tradition. A whole week absolutely without Internet no exceptions. This of course means I won't post for a week and that the thirty day meme will be put on hold.
Just thought I'd let you know.
Peace out, Whosebuddies,
MeganH
P.S A whole week without Whose Line. How will I even survive. If I don't post after the week is up, it's just because I died from withdrawal.
Do you even need to ask? Ryan and Colin, all the way. Come on. That's a no brainer. And now, if I may, I shall rant. Because I have so been WAITING to rant on this one.
Let me start from the beginning of their story:
Imagine this: a young Colin Mochrie. I mean, twenties young. Like, he has hair even. That young. He's gone to theatre school and is now doing improv in Vancouver.
At the same time, Ryan Stiles (who was still a goofy bastard, as someone so aptly put it) is doing stand-up in Vancouver. They meet and Ryan begins to do improv.
Kablamo. Instant amazingness. They become friends and do improv together, and everything they do just seems to work.
Ryan moves to Ontario to join the Second City troupe. They recognize his talent and he's moved to the main stage. As this happens, Ryan invites an old friend by the name of Colin Mochrie to join him at the Second City.
Well, Colin auditions for the Second City. The judge is a woman by the name of Debra McGrath, and she recognizes his talent at improv. It's between Colin and "the cute guy". She chooses Colin (she and Colin later fall in love, get married and have a son).
Ryan auditions for a show called Whose Line is it Anyway, sometime in the late eighties (this was of course when it was still in Britain, before it migrated over to the U.S). He makes the cut and begins doing the show. Again, he invites Colin to join. Colin and some other folks from the Second City troupe audition, but since they were acting as good improvisers trying to make the other guy look good, none of them stand out, and none of them make the cut. Later, when Colin is in the U.S, he auditions again. He didn't know anyone else auditioning and focused on making himself stand out and he makes the cut this time. He and Ryan are re-united on the stage of Whose Line.
Dan Patterson recognized immediately that Ryan and Colin had a fantastic partnership when it came to improv - everything they did together was hilarious. So, naturally, they were put together a lot.
Whose Line migrates to the U.S. People watch it and love it. Ryan and Colin become some of the world's best-known improvisers.
It's with this background that you need to understand the extent of Ryan and Colin's friendship.
They were in their forties when they were doing U.S Whose Line. They met when they were both in their twenties. As Colin has said, Ryan gave Colin a career in improv, a wife...... you can see how they might be, well, the best of friends anyone could possibly be.
They. Are. So. Frickin'. CUTE!!!!!!! ~
I mean, seriously. The way they make fun of each other all the time, yet stick up for each other if anyone else makes fun of them. The way they can quite comfortably kiss and not think anything of it. The way they have a frickin' telepathy. My god, it's so frickin' adorable. I love these guys. At the risk of sounding like a shipper girl, THEY ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!
But let's be clear.
I do not think they are gay for each other. They both have wives - Ryan has two boys and a girl, Colin has a son - and why must a completely adorable bromance be turned gay? IT'S NOT GAY. IT'S BROMANCE.
And it's the cutest bromance you will ever see.
Oh my frickin' god.
So. Frickin'. Cute.
In Colin's defense, Ryan had spent an entire game of Let's Make a Date attempting to lick Colin's head.
"Oh, who am I kidding?!"
Ryan's reaction to the above kiss (took him a bit off guard).
Oh how they laugh.
So close!
I dare you to tell me that this isn't cute.
Ryan is a wolf, nursing. Don't get the wrong idea.
STOP TEASING US!!!!!
I love these guys.
Always helping each other out.
Go on. Say that isn't cute. I FRICKIN' DARE YOU.
Love Colin's expression. xD
THIS SCREENSHOT IS SO ADORABLE!!!!!!!
......What can you even say?
The famous Ry/Col telepathy.
Ryan, sticking up for Colin here. "A glimpse into the dreams of Colin Mochrie."
"Theme from Titanic."
Their first kiss!
"Things that would make Drew Carey do a spit take."
First this happened.
Then this happened.
..... and then this happened. xD
The war continues. Ryan (in Two-Line Vocabulary): What do I look like? Colin: I'll tell you what you look like! A big stick with a big nose! *LATER* Ryan: By the way, when I said rug, I meant like a RUG, not like a wig. Colin's retort shown above.
Colin and Ryan making up. Ryan: Happy hundredth mission! I got you a present. Colin: Oh, I got you one too. Ryan: Open yours first. Colin: Aww..... *puts on imaginary wig*
Ryan: Ohh! *puts on hat over his nose*
Colin: Maybe I can melt the snow! Ryan: I'm sure glad you thought of that before I did! Colin: Me too!
Ryan: Hey! I've got a stick-like body! Ski on me! Colin: Alright. *a moment later* FOR GOD'S SAKE! LIFT YOUR HEAD UP! YOUR NOSE IS SLOWING US DOWN!
Colin: Do you look like you've been hit by a bus three times? Ryan: *points*
Colin: You started.
Without a doubt the sweetest most adorable most ohmahgawd moment in Whose Line history.
Okay. These are all the examples from my screenshot collection.
And now, if I may, a cute fan video that works well with Ryan and Colin (I'm addicted to fanvids right now. Just not the real slash ones, those are not right).
Peace out, Whosebuddies,
MeganH
P.S Yes, I am a fangirl. Get over it. You know it's adorable, don't even try to deny it.
