* In episode 233 while playing the game "Greatest Hits" the topic was wrestling. Ryan gave Wayne and Brad, Italian Love songs as the song style in attempt to stump them. Wayne and Brad proceed to do so well the audience gives a standing ovation. Ladies and gentleman, I give you the hit song Pile Driver of Love.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk1XVLjttwc This]] season 7 playing of Foreign Film Dub, one of the best ever played. From Colin making a non-translation just for fun and [[{{Corpsing}} cracking Drew up]] for a good ten seconds, to Drew forcing Ryan to tell a whole joke that includes the word "complimentary." And Ryan pulls it off, quick as a flash!
** As a side note, Kathy doesn't get enough credit for her skill at faking languages; her Ukranian gibberish is spot-on.

* Fans knew almost immediately upon the show debuting in America that Wayne Brady was going to be something special. Perhaps the moment that cinched it was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBC35lPzh9U this Greatest Hits]] playing, "Songs Of The Bus Driver," where he not only crushes a Music/MichaelJackson impression just as a warm-up, but, inspired by Ryan, he proceeds to do a country & western song with ''sound effects'' instead of any actual lyrics. And then makes a "bring it on!" motion to Ryan and Colin over the audience applause. That's the kind of chutzpah that made him a series regular as soon as possible.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmnlC48OtWc One episode]] had Oscar-winner Creator/WhoopiGoldberg as special guest. She had Questions Only down pat, lasting almost the entire game, until Colin finally went toe-to-toe the distance with her on "Questions Only," her, and ''managed to buzz her out''.she admits defeat by ''kissing him.'' An awesome moment for Whoopi ''and'' Colin.

* During a game of "Props," Ryan and Drew are [[IncrediblyLamePun horsing around]] with horseshoe-shaped pink foam pads. Drew doesn't miss the chance for comedic gold and has Ryan play the appropriately-shaped [[ButtMonkey tall and skinny pole]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB_WLgBdXiw while Drew flings his "horseshoes" at him with granny-style tosses.]] Drew misses the first toss miserably. Not expecting to nail the second, he chucks it at Ryan's head... and gets it hooked around his neck. Cue cheering from the amazed crowd, Ryan smiling with utter humility (his expression says, "I can't believe he actually did it - and now I look like a fool again"), and a priceless look of sheer astonishment and happiness on Drew's face as he celebrates with a victory dance.

* In perhaps a CallBack to his dancing cameo from the Drew era, Colin boasts in a playing of "Greatest Hits" that he plays guitar on a blues track, so he gets Linda Taylor to play guitar for him "Helping Hands" style, and Linda's still almost as good a guitar player when she's got Colin obstructing her vision and reach!

*** And in the same game, Wayne manages to misspell Howard ("H-O-R-W-A-R-D!"). Throw in Howard's profession (designing closures for hazardous waste sites), Howard's enthusiasm and lack of rhythm, and the [[NiceHat silly hats]], and you have a perfect storm of hilarity.

* They set a new benchmark for AudienceParticipation in 2020, with a game of "Sound Effects" with Ryan and Colin as Canadian Mounties. Ryan clams he's going to sing a classic song out loud, and the woman paired with him clearly has heard of "Oh Canada" but has no idea how it goes, and ends up ''improvising'' an "Oh Canada" to the tune of "Oh Christmas Tree".

*** Even better -- this episode came from the taping where Ryan compared Drew to the bottom of the evolutionary pole, so Drew bailing him out is great payback. Chip and Colin come over to shake Drew's hand while Ryan slinks back to his chair in (good-natured) defeat.

* [[https://youtu.be/9N41JhRa8UU?t=104 An early game of Song Styles]] for John Sessions, where he's tasked to sing about a television set InTheStyleOf folk music. Richard Vranch, for all his musical talents, isn't equipped to play a folk song, so with barely a moment's hesitation, John does it a capella. The result is unfiltered John Sessions; a cynical, stream-of-consciousness ramble of a song that's probably his best single performance on the show. Say what you want about John, but the man had ''talent.''

* An odd place to get a MOA, but in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfHK0nQZALw a game of Hey You Down There]] about learning to pilot an aircraft, there's a part of the scene where Colin slices his hand off, and Ryan... uh, [[{{Pun}} hands]] it back to him. There's something about how Ryan uses his own hand for a prop that looks quick, seamless and fluid. It's a small moment, but it's brilliant.
