Okay, I know I'm saying like every single one is hard for me now, but this one really is because I don't watch a whole lot of Wayne singing, and most of my favourites aren't just Wayne, they're Wayne and Brad, usually.
The YMCA one comes to mind, though, where the thing accidentally gets sped up. That one was good.
OH! Or the...... Coffee Grinder I think it was? He had to do it like the Rocky Horror Picture Show. That's a classic.
I'm trying to think of some Greatest Hits, but all the good Greatest Hits were with two people. But the Blink 182 one for Songs of the Hitman (I believe that one was with Chip) or the famous Harley of Seville for Songs of the Motorcycle (that one was with Jeff)...... those are kind of fantastic.
OH! The Blues Brothers one with Brad - that's one of my favourites. (Video on this post)
OH OH! The one where Wayne had to do it as Prince - that was awesome.
Or anytime where Wayne has to be Michael Jackson.... good gracious. It's brilliant.
But right now, the Coffee Grinder is probably one of my favourites to hear/watch. I mean, I've never even seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show and am probably missing a million references, but it's just fun to watch and hear.
Well that's very difficult for me to answer, since I don't actually know what the actual people they're impressioning sounds like.........
Alright, after a little bit of research, listening to some of the more common impressions they do (John Wayne (Ryan), Peter Graves (Colin), Bill Cosby (Wayne)), I've gotta say that the best one is definitely Ryan's Carol Channing. It's uncanny how much he sounds like her. I looked at a video where Carol Channing was talking and my first thought: Holy crap. My god, he's just spot on, man. It's unbelievable.
Of course that's closely followed by Greg's Daffy Duck. That one is pretty amazing too.
But Ryan's Carol Channing is frackin' unbelievable.
This video's kinda long, but it shows all his Carol Channing - and the infamous Carol Channing Incident, I might add. Even if you don't know what that is..... believe me, you'll know it when you see it.
And compare that to just this video of the ACTUAL Carol Channing talking............ (you don't have to watch the whole thing)
It really is uncanny, isn't it?
But, here's the thing; the BEST impression is not the same as my FAVOURITE impression.
And that is probably between Jeff's Christopher Walken, Chip's Snagglepuss, Wayne's Bill Cosby, Colin's Humphrey Bogart, or Colin's Craig T. Nelson.
And after thinking long and hard about that, I must say that my favourite out of those is probably:
Colin's Humphrey Bogart.
If you wanna see it, just look up Questionable Impressions. He does it in almost every one. You won't be able to tell, of course, until he says something about a "hill o' beans". It's awful. And awesome.
Aw man that's really hard. The first one that comes to mind is the Carol Channing incident, but that's really not my favourite. Just the most memorable.
Some others that come to mind are Chip mixing up the words wrestler and professor.
Or Chip leaping onto Colin's foot.
Or Chip leaping onto Ryan's back (wow, Chip really screws up a lot).
Or the time Ryan couldn't get his words out in a game of Narrate.
Ryan: But what he didn't was - know was - or was no........... was that I was dyslexic.
And later:
Drew: Each a thousand you points for.
Ryan: That made sense to me!
Or Brad saying "Nothing like a two hundred pound snatch if you know what I mean," in a game of If You Know What I Mean.
Or Colin's Nice Pants.
Or Colin's "Really? That sucks."
Or Wayne in Questions Only going up and saying "Ecuador."
Or Kathy actually ripping out some of Colin's chest hair.
Or Wayne in Greatest Hits, Songs of Marriage singing as the Backstreet Boys "I'm going to find myself a guy!"
Or the Animal Porn incident.
Or Ryan (who actually has a wide enough range of half decent impressions) going up in Questionable Impressions and sort of faking one.
Drew: Who was that, by the way?
Ryan: I don't know.....
Or, you know, every single one of Colin's impressions.
Or Colin in Multiple Personalities getting all the props and attempting to do a mixture of Braveheart, Jimmy Stewart and Carol Channing (which apparently equals some kind of duck monkey).
Or Colin's "Joe had a nice bone."
Or the Wrong Name in Bed Irish Drinking Song:
Wayne: One night I was getting freaky.
Drew: *garbles his words* With my largarlelane.
Colin: Boy we had some fun!
Ryan: Lalahrouaroua.
Wayne: *cracks up laughing*
Drew: *cracks up laughing*
Colin: Meow!
Or the Three Headed Broadway Star where Drew's in it and messes up bigtime.
Drew: And take me on a.......! Oh wait, one word.
Ryan: Trip so beautiful!
Wayne: I love you!
Or David Hasselhoff's Three Headed Broadway Star. Gawd, that was painful.
Or Ryan always calling Colin Charlie when he was supposed to be Bosley.
Ryan: What do we do, Charlie?
Colin: I'M BOSLEY!!!!!!!!!
Oh, good memories.
Now, my FAVOURITE slip-up from the US Whose Line is definitely Colin spilling coffee on himself.
They were playing Helping Hands (Colin stands behind Ryan, Ryan has his hands behind his back and Colin is his hands) and the producers had decided it was a good idea to put hot coffee in a scene where one of them can't see what they're doing.
So as Colin's pouring the coffee, he spills it on his hand.
So he drops the coffee cup and coffee spills all over the floor.
No one knew at the time that it was actually hot, but Colin certainly knew the minute it hit his hand.
If you pay close attention, you see Colin's eyes close in pain and you can hear a tiny squeaking sound - which, in the conversation after the game, Colin says is him screaming into Ryan's back.
So Kathy, being at the side and probably able to see Colin, realizes that Colin is in pain and goes to pour cold orange juice on his hand to help.
But Ryan is acting like he is the one in pain, because Colin's hands are supposed to be his, and he's yelling, and Colin, heroically playing along (or not playing at all) is spasming his hands around to demonstrate it. Unable to see Kathy with the orange juice, his spasming knocks it out of her hand, and the glass pitcher full of orange juice falls to the ground and shatters.
It was chaos.
Beautiful, Whose Line-ic chaos.
But my ultimate favourite Whose Line slip-up is actually from the UK version.
They were doing a hoedown about their worst nightmare. It was Ryan's turn. And as I can't accurately describe it without hearing his voice, I'll just give you the video.
That's gotta be one of my favourite Hoedowns, right beside the Colin Mochrie Hoedown - both of which, now that I think of it, are from the UK version.
So I have made it my mission to find out who the real winner of Whose Line is it Anyway was. I'm counting the points starting from the first season to the eighth, and by my math, there's over two hundred episodes. I'm on the eighth episode of the first season. So that's all well and good.
Anyways, I was watching this episode and Drew said
"If you're keeping track of the score, I pity you."
Well........................ this is awkward....................
