* A hoedown was done about game show hosts. Again, Drew became the host of ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'', Wayne became the host of ''Series/LetsMakeADeal'' and ''Series/DontForgetTheLyrics'', and Colin hosts the Canadian version of ''Series/AreYouSmarterThanAFifthGrader''.

* In one British episode aired in 1995, Greg Proops failed to guess that Tony Slattery was pretending to be ''[[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures Noddy]]'', causing the latter to ask him "Do you not have Noddy in America?", which he responded to by [[{{PopCulturalOsmosisFailure}} being confused at the character's name]]. The U.S. did get Noddy [[Series/TheNoddyShop 3 years after that episode was aired]].

* In the first US version, there was the "Scenes From A Hat" suggestion "If famous films had product placement", and Colin said "Rosebud... the last word in sleds!". In 2003, Chilean television screened the original ''Franchise/StarWars'' trilogy, [[https://www.ign.com/articles/decades-old-beer-ads-stitched-straight-into-original-star-wars-movies-go-viral but stitched commercials into the movies themselves to avoid having commercial breaks]]. The results were hilariously surreal.

* Towards the end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVmjuiNf9vg this]] clip is a game of ''Expert'', where Ryan plays an expert on karate ''and'' pigs. And then Josie gets the idea to mention that the interview is about a movie with ''[[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda karate pigs]].''

* In episode 7x24, when Drew brings down two audience members for Sound Effects, one woman, Priscilla, has big glasses, long dark hair, a red sweater and jeans. She'd look exactly like she was doing a cosplay of Linda Belcher from ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers,'' if ''Whose Line'' didn't predate that show by the better part of a decade. (And the name of the other volunteer from the audience? Linda.)

* One of the classic games noticeably left out of the CW series is Weird Superheroes - considering that the CW is home to the Arrowverse, someone must have thought it would be redundant.



* One rendition of "Weird Superheroes" from the ABC run centered around Colin being given the moniker of "CaptainObvious" by an audience member. The episode in question aired years before [=TV=] Tropes launched and the Hotels.com mascot of that name debuted.

* Listing individual examples of Wayne's HoYay moments with the others would be too numerous to list here, so let's just say any time Wayne kisses another male cast member, or especially any time he invoked HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday after he came out as pansexual in 2023.

* In the aftermath of Creator/WillSmith slapping Creator/ChrisRock at the 94th Academy Awards and the huge media circus that followed, some people began referencing one of the most memorable quotes in Whose Line history, "It all started with a badly-timed bald joke!"

* Wayne's second "tune" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ9pIu_Zs8Y "Songs of the Bus Driver"]] inadvertently predated the StupidStatementDanceMix.
** Speaking of which, the main article for SSDM (also see this page's [=CMoF=] entry) states how Creator/StephenFry's "Parthenon" line in ''Questions Only'' actually came back to haunt him on the set of Series/{{QI}}.

* In one round of "Song Styles", Wayne sings to a volleyball coach in the style of Music/CabCalloway. Two decades later, he'd voice the Calloway-inspired villain King Dice in ''WesternAnimation/TheCupheadShow''.
