I'm Not Creepy.......

Conversation I had with my mom just now:

Me: Mom, I told you I need to rant to keep my sanity, right? Here, just look at my blog so you see what I mean.

*scrolls through quickly*

Mom: Okay, there's way too much of Colin on there. That's creepy.

Me: It's not creepy. You know what's creepy? This is creepy. *shows her the Tumblr "F*ck Yeah Colin Mochrie*

Mom: Okay, that's enough.

*later, after scrolling through a few pages of my blog*

Me: You know, now that you mention it, I do seem to be favouring Colin a little, don't I? 

The understatement of the century.

The funny thing about this is that I deny it to other people, but I know I am a very creepy fangirl. I have spent at least forty five minutes, one night, scrolling through the White Pages and searching for Colin's house in Toronto so I could have his home address. Turns out, he, nor his wife, post their home address in the White Pages (probably so creepy people like me don't find it) although I may now have their home number! (Hee hee).

But it's okay, because I have a new plan. Okay, it might take time and determination and perseverance. But that's okay, cause I have all that. Besides, what else am I going to do while Gorillavid loads, right?

I'm not creepy.

Yes I am.

BUT NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW.

And now, to complete this post, a picture of Colin.

Someone I HAVEN'T Previously Quoted

Was watching an interview with Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson (the creators of Whose Line), and they said this, which is kind of a great mixture of fascinating and adorable.

Mark Leveson: I think we should mention Ryan... cause Ryan Stiles was..... and always was..... fantastic on the show. 

Dan Patterson: He was fantastic.

Mark Leveson: He was just - 

Dan Patterson: But what we hadn't realized in the early days was that we didn't realize how important it was for people to be with people they improvised with a lot. And Ryan came over and did the show and he was really good. But it was only when we started putting him with Colin that we got this real magic. Because they have a telepathy, they worked - it was like Sweeney and Steve. They were good individually, but when they came together, they were very good, and the same with Ryan and Colin is that they were so used to working with each other and doing stuff, that.... we realized, suddenly, that you had to have them together throughout the - and Colin did two or three shows on his own, and..... wasn't that good.

Mark Leveson: When we first - when we, when we saw him originally, Colin was one of the funniest people I think we'd seen onstage. We saw him in Toronto, didn't we?

Dan Patterson: Yeah.

Mark Leveson: And he was - he really was hilarious, and he could do scenes like nobody else. And when we brought him over to Britan - and Colin's very shy - and.... he found it very difficult at first, didn't he?

Dan Patterson: Yeah.

Mark Leveson: And he.... I think other people were probably saying "Why are you keeping him on?" But we were just waiting for the magic to happen.

Dan Patterson: And it happened really.....  but Colin always says that he came over, and I said, um, you know..... something like "Make sure your flight isn't 'til Monday" or something like this..... you know, in the idea that he may get another show, and he did a show and then didn't hear anything, so he just flew off again, and he's always said "Oh, I guess I didn't really do that well." 

They later go on to say:

Dan Patterson: You know, people said we were quite ruthless, that people would come on and we just wouldn't use them again, but.... we - it was that fear, it was just that there was this thing of  - you can't have somebody and - and, uh...... they're just okay for a long time and never do - the one exception was Colin, because he took a time to warm up, but we knew that he was just brilliant, and we thought that if we can get his - 

And that's when they stopped talking about Colin and I lost interest.

I just find this so cool that A) They were able to recognize how amazing Colin and Ryan were together, and B) They gave Colin a few chances because he had impressed them so much at the audition. Isn't that cool? I think that's cool.

By the way...... I kind of have to do this.

Young Colin and and young Ryan. They're so cute.

P.S Colin actually documented Dan's story about the monday plane in his own words. I'll just put that here.

"My first performance on “Whose Line”…how can I put this? Oh, yes – it sucked. I met the other improvisers two hours before we shot the show. I totally psyched myself out. Before the show, producer Dan Patterson said “Colin, if the show goes well, you can do the Sunday show tomorrow.” After the debacle, he said, “So you leave on Monday, do you?”"

And I find that great because I'd read that before, and Colin makes it sound like they were, I dunno, taking a chance on the new guy they found or something, someone they'd try but wasn't all that sure about, you know? But if you listen to Mark Leveson and Dan Patterson, he was one of the funniest people they'd ever seen onstage, and THAT'S why they gave him all those chances - because THEY KNEW HE WAS AWESOME.

Again - a great mixture of fascinating and adorable. 

ARE YOU READY FOR A FREAKING MASSIVE FREAK OUT?!

P.S The best part is, even when he's holding a gun to a guy's head..... he's STILL adorable. He just can't help it. :)

P.S.S This guy is sooooo underrated as a real actor. He can do more than improv, guys. He can pull THIS off, for god's sakes. Come on.

P.S.S.S Colin: Lord, grant me the serenity to blah blah blah, and kill the people who annoy the hell out of me.

Unknown guy: Ricky Pope. Well, it looks like I'm the cheese in a CIA sandwich. 

Colin: If you actually mattered....... I might waste the lead on you. As it is....... fleh.

MY GOD IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER WHAT REALITY HE'S IN, HE JUST CAN'T HELP BUT BE MADE OF EPIC.

Day 27: Best Newsflash Backdrop

This would be hard if it wasn't so easy.

It's tied up between the Colin Newsflash (which I believe I've spoken of before) and the Ryan Newsflash.

Colin's because it's Colin. And the bald jokes. And the badly timed bald jokes. It's awesome.

And Ryan's because Ryan can actually see all the stuff he's doing and he's wincing at himself from embarassment and when Colin figures it out..... ah. Good stuff.

Peace out, Whosebuddies,

MeganH

P.S "It all started with a badly timed bald joke!" It just NEVER gets old!!!!! xD

Day 26: Worst Impression

Somehow I feel like I've covered this. But, well, let's see.

Surprisingly, I'm actually inclined to say Wayne's Jar Jar Binks. I mean, it's funny because it sounds like an asian stereotype, and the only way you can tell that Wayne is not being that racist is because he flaps his hands around his face to imitate Jar Jar Bink's ears. It's just not good.

While I'm at it, Wayne's Woody Allen is pretty horrible as well. It's like a weird mixture of all the impressions Wayne does. It's just..... weird.

But don't think Colin's off the hook just cause I haven't mentioned him yet. All his impressions are pretty awful, but that's why they're loved, so in this context it's almost like a paradox.......? They are considered great because they're awful. So I guess Colin is kind of off the hook for now. I'd just like to give a shout out to Colin's Colonel Klink. Oh, and Colin's Peter Lorre is perhaps one of the funniest things I've ever seen. To be clear, it's because they're awful.

Consider Wayne's Jar Jar Binks and Wayne's Woody Allen and Colin's Peter Lorre tied.

And because Colin's Peter Lorre will never cease to make me laugh, I post that playing of Questionable Impressions here.

Peace out, Whosebuddies,

MeganH

P.S "Would you like to see my BADGE? O.o" xD

WLiiA Meme: Day 25

Day 25: Favourite Questions Only Scene

Usually I have to think about my favourite anything, but not this time.

My favourite Questions Only scene was.... taped pretty early in the show I think, though it wasn't in the first season. It's this one.

It just sticks with me and makes me smile.

Peace out, Whosebuddies,

P.S Ecuador.

WLiiA Meme: Day 24

Day 24: A Moment When You Went "Aww"

 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.
