Obligatory post of http://whoselineonline.org/, because it will make someone's night.

[–]WhoseLineOnline 127 points128 points ago

Site owner here! Thanks for the share PI! :) I can always rely on Reddit for exposure, you guys are great! In other news.. sorry if the site goes down.. CPU usage has been running at 100% for sometime now :|

WORTH IT!

Edit: It's truly a waiting game now. We're using Amazon Cloudfront for our images at least.

[–]gaberino 43 points44 points ago

why aren't we donating $650,000 to this guy for AT LEAST a dual core?

[–]Bloodshot025 16 points17 points ago

What the hell kind of Dual Core processors are you buying?

[–]orthag 18 points19 points ago

The ones that aren't dual core but 87 core.

[–]SrsSteel 14 points15 points ago

Dual digit core

Edit: Typo, leave me alone!

[–]Whawhawah 9 points10 points ago

[–]the_rev_28 1 point2 points ago

So, since you're the site owner, I presume you've seen each episode. My question is: who is the all-time Whose Line Champion? Who has "won" the most times?

[–]WhoseLineOnline 1 point2 points ago

Take a look at this beauty. :)

[–]LanKing 1 point2 points ago

I clicked Random Episode and it took me to S1E1. Of course, this could just be random chance, but you might want to look into that.

For what it's worth, this YouTube channel has more than 1,000 Whose Line segments if that website stays down for a while.

For anyone who wants to see Colin Mochrie's new stuff, he has a new show coming up with Wayne Brady.

[–]all_my_rage 11 points12 points ago

This better be online somewhere when it comes out. Being an Australian, I highly doubt I'd get to watch it.

[–]Setavos 5 points6 points ago

Not until like 5 years after it's release, and even then it's a small chance, haha. I suffer with you, fellow Australian.

[–]Whawhawah 2 points3 points ago

[–]Excentinel 3 points4 points ago

You bet your sweet upside-down ass it will. And I feel as though it is my duty to point out that this, folks, is why piracy is a good thing. It fills demands that studios are too stupid or outdated to fill.

[–]quiet_eyes 14 points15 points ago

When I saw this commercial I ran around my house, screaming, "THE WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY GUYS ARE COMING BACK! THEY'VE GOT A NEW SHOW!!! MOM DID YOU HEAR ME?!?" I'm fucking pumped, man.

[–]dsi1 40 points41 points ago

I love Wayne Brady. He makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm the Tenth.

There can only be one. And tonight, that someone is MattHawkeye.

[–]mikem4a1 4 points5 points ago

[–]BrandoMcGregor 1 point2 points ago

404 not found? I hope it was the Japanese Pokemon opening viral video from the late 90's. That's what I think of whenever I see Colin Mochrie. "There's a hobo in my room. It's Princess Lea the something something, give me my sweater back or I'll steal your guitar."

[–]A1CArtwood 1 point2 points ago

Found a hobo in my room. It was Princess Leia, the yodel of life. Give me my sweater or I'll play the guitar.

Thus began the online phenomenon known as the Animutation, bestowed upon us by Neil Cicierega before he went on to create Lemon Demon.

[–]hinduguru 20 points21 points ago

Why did this show get off the air?

[–]Lightgamete 36 points37 points ago

Ratings
It was in the same timeslot as Friends so that hampered it greatly. I remember being sad that 80% of the people in my grade didn't even know what "Whose Line" was :(

[–]hinduguru 18 points19 points ago

I didn't grow up with either of the shows, I think it was canceled by the time I got into it, but the good part about watching Whose Line is that it has incredible replay value. Probably better than almost any other show I could think of

[–]Lightgamete 13 points14 points ago

It definitely has one of the best replay value. I still have bouts of laughter every time I decide to watch it.
Oh and did you see this scene? The first time I saw it on TV I was nearly in tears.

[–]TheDeanMan 6 points7 points ago

Its back on the air. Or as close as it will ever be to being back on the air. Improv-A-Ganza

[–]MagicallyVermicious 5 points6 points ago

That one is canceled as well.

HOLD THE PHONE!

[–]Phuckle 10 points11 points ago

Do not, under any circumstances, read the comments to that video. It's just unfunny people trying out for Whose Line..

[–]Khalexus 1 point2 points ago

I decided to ignore your advice.

"What's going through George W. Bush's mind during cabinet meetings:" Who are these 'cabinets', why are they having a meeting, and what's the dang meeting about?!?

urgh.

"What's going through George W. Bush's mind during cabinet meetings:" where the fuck am i

Oh god.

did anyone else think of "what the matter with weed!?" when ryan sang "whats the matter with roadkill?... whats the matter with ROADKILL!?!?"?

There's always one. Sigh.

[–]donttouchmyfeet 4 points5 points ago

Do you realize what you've done?! I'm now going to be trapped watching Whose Line youtube videos for the next four hours!

[–]RobFireburn 1 point2 points ago

You skipped the best part!

It was "unlikely subjects to be the basis for a musical" Collin: "How does food become poo? ill tell yooooou!"

[–]ganlet20 1 point2 points ago

[–]SkyOfTheSky 49 points50 points ago

This is one of my favorite Colin Mochrie moments, personally.

[–]thehuntofdear 11 points12 points ago

Also good.

[–]MrTwoWordAnswers 1 point2 points ago

Backstreet Boys?

[–]mattsloth 2 points3 points ago

Can someone please explain this to me. I don't get it and it's driving me fucking insane.

[–]buzzkill_aldrin 4 points5 points ago

Owls go "hoo hoo". Hoo sounds like Who. The Who is a famous rock band. Hence, Colin's character is expected to answer the riddle with "owl". Instead, Colin says arctic tern, which was unexpected and kind of random. Ryan then asks what sound an artic tern makes. Remember, the sound is supposed to be similar to a band. Colin squawks Backsteet Boys, which is doubly unexpected and exceptionally random because there is no way a bird call would happen to sound like Backstreet Boys.

[–]mattsloth 1 point2 points ago

That's exactly what I thought it meant. Hm. I guess I have no sense of humour.

[–]buzzkill_aldrin 1 point2 points ago

Well, the other part of the humor is just watching Ryan's reaction to Colin taking the piss.

[–]Fredifrum 2 points3 points ago

not much to get, he just kinda picked the weirdest bird imaginable that couldn't possibly lend itself to a band name, and then worked with it.

Captain Hair!

[–]emperormizar 19 points20 points ago

That actually is a pretty interesting etymological question. In the 15th century the word cabinet emerged as a smaller form of "cabin" and developed to mean a case holding valuables. But this soon also grew to mean the room containing such valuables.

In England, that cabinet room became regarded as the most private of all rooms, a place where one could take valued guests for private conversations on serious matters. Such a definition of cabinet is reflected in French, where "cabinet" can be used to mean office.

Eventually, such advisers that would go to the king's cabinet to give advice became known as the king's "cabinet," and this name stuck even after the room name of cabinet faded from use. So that is why a modern cabinet and a president's cabinet meeting, two very different things on the surface, share the same name.

I got this cool info from Bill Bryson's book "At Home," page 73. I'd highly recommend checking it out. Bryson writes some very interesting history. He also wrote a book on science and scientific discovery called "A Short History of Nearly Everything," and it is amazingly entertaining.

[–]resistingsimplicity 3 points4 points ago

Nebraskan checking in- why do you think both bananas and corn are measured in bushels? Because they're the same thing.

[–]taystim 1 point2 points ago

Lincolnite confirming. In fact, in sex-ed, we practiced putting condoms on ears of corn.

[–]Deages 18 points19 points ago

Everytime Ryan or Colin make the frontpage, the other has to as well.

Whose karma is it anyway? The show where everything is made up and the karma doesn't matter.

[–]lvnshm 7 points8 points ago

Coming up next! Karma and Greg! An uptight dude has to navigate around his eccentric and more popular Redditor girlfriend!

a george bush is stupid joke is 'at his best'? i dont think so

[–]Sbmalj 52 points53 points ago

You've got to hand it to these guys, the amount of 'classic' jokes they are consistently able to think of on the spot is quite impressive. Though this may not be his best, it's still quite witty and funny, something I could never think of on-demand (AND on live television!).

[–]notbookies 8 points9 points ago

While I agree with you, whose line was not live, and they often did many takes. I remember one specific incident in the bloopers or whatever where they were bitching about doing a hoedown like 5+ times. So even though it was all improv, what you see on the actual show is taken from the best of many takes.

[–]aumanchi 1 point2 points ago

They only have to re-do something when the producers didn't like something they said.

I wonder sometimes exactly how much of the improv on that show is actually not quite fully improv.

[–]JamesJFresh 2 points3 points ago

Scenes From a Hat were their best sketches.

[–]cmfrtblynmb 2 points3 points ago

Probably in 5 years, majority of redditors will not understand Bush jokes. That is sad.

Colin Mochrie lives in my neighbourhood, and his son used to go to my school. Perhaps I could get an AMA?

He already did one.

Sure. What's it like, going to the same school that Colin Mochrie's son once attended?

It's hilarious, but not his best. Colin is a comedic genius.

Idk how I did it, but I picked an episode at random to watch. It happened to be the exact episode that this Colin quote is from
