* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAjTtNALURg game of Party Quirks]] where Colin is obsessed with confirming everyone's gender. His total commitment to this role sells it. Definitely CrossesTheLineTwice.

* 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.

Updated Youtube Links


** In this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAgqgfKgGpI classic "Song Styles" segment]], Wayne sang to Samantha, an aerobics instructor, in the style of Riverdance (Irish step-dancing). Wayne was suitably impressed to find out that Samantha actually '''could''' step-dance. [[KneelBeforeFrodo He gave her a standing ovation afterwards]].
* A not-as-accidental one: Ryan, Wayne and Chip find out during one ''Hollywood Director'' game that the ''Stomp'' style of musicals actually fit perfectly into the show's improvised format. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfCk3oxiN6M&t=3m25s The fact that the whole audience is clapping along by the end says it all.]]

Updated Youtube Link to Ryan and Colin Clip


** At the end of one ''Newsflash'' game. involving footage of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Qpr4fpvAUQ numerous rats]], Drew admits that he didn't get Ryan's reference to the early Music/MichaelJackson song "Ben", upon which Ryan and Colin start singing one line of the song. Again, at the exact same time. Crosses into SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments in a way.

* In one "Let's Make a Date", Wayne is an "Excited teenage girl who decides she can't play the game without bringing her best friends on stage to do it with her" who brings an audience member Carol up with him. Unlike most audience members who let the cast play it out or get embarrassed, she actively plays along with Wayne. At the end of the game Drew praises her and jokes that she has some contracts to sign so she can appear on more episodes.

* 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".

* After a playing of Mixed Messages, Wayne reveals that the sister of the person whose phone he borrowed for the game did not realize ''Whose Line?'' was still on the air (or perhaps even revived in the first place). Rather offended by this remark, he calls the sister on Facetime, prompting the other panelists and Aisha to crowd the camera and flip her off!

** In one particular Hoedown, Ryan actually couldn’t come up with anything and essentially bowed out of the game. Drew, who had already given his own verse, came up with a second one and performed it from behind Ryan while he tried his best to mouth along.

* "Weird Newscasters" assigns Ryan with the daunting task of acting out "''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' in 30 seconds". It clearly takes him longer than that, but Ryan manages to go through all the important parts of the movie in point form - special mention must be made of going through three different poses to cover the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion, and remembering that Dorothy took a blow to the head to explain the AllJustADream ending. The applause at the end is rightfully earned.

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG37bcUARxo this game of Party Quirks]], Wayne has to act out a series of violent movie scenes in SlowMotion. He eventually starts doing ''Film/ThreeHundred'', and gets an entire section of the audience to stand up so he can "slaughter" them one by one. Then he shoots an imaginary arrow and ''wipes out an entire row of people at once'' (the fact that they all knew to "die" at the same time in order to achieve the effect is pretty impressive in itself). Jeff can't help but comment on how awesome it was afterwards.
-->'''Jeff:''' That thing with the arrow was the coolest bit of AudienceParticipation of all time.
