* One "Scenes From A Hat" suggestion was not long after "Fear Factor" debuted, what a celebrity version of the show would be like. Whose Line's parody was stuff like Drew not having cards to use to know what to say. But soon "Fear Factor" did do a couple famous people themed episodes, but in the traditional style of the show, like Donny Osmond in a bug filled case.

It probably shouldn't be a surprise that there's a plethora of HilariousInHindsight on ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'', given all the bajillion pop culture references, but man, it's something to behold.
* The only game ever of ''Survival Show'' resulted in Greg saying "I'm available to host ''Series/ThePriceIsRight''..." Some years down the line, Bob Barker retires - Drew Carey takes the reins. Then Brad decides to become the announcer. More hilarity ensues.
** HeartwarmingInHindsight: On ''Price'', Drew is a very kind man, and [[TookALevelInKindness easily on his best on-camera behavior ever]]. In other words, Drew is not really a jerk, and his tenure on ''Whose Line?'' was just one long opportunity to cut loose, like a glorified bachelor party. ''No wonder'' he was so kind to Laura Hall.
* Brad's role borders on awesome when you consider a ''Let's Make A Date'' playing where his quirk was as a "game show prize announcer", and his ''ThePriceIsRight'' impression [[http://youtu.be/qNCjsPRT0Ik was spot on]].
* 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''.
* During one such Hoedown about House Arrest, Colin says he's got a real easy parole officer. The parole officer is Charlie Sheen.
* Score one more for Greg: the first ever game of ''Sports Commentators'' had him in the role of one of the commentators. Bonus points for Rory, the other commentator, going into one of his obscure accents.
* When Jonathan Pryce guest starred in one episode from 1989, he played a [[PiratesOfTheCaribbean pirate]] in Party Quirks.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM-aqCNFiKM "That was so nasty they wouldn't even post it on the internet...]]" Indeed.
* One game of ''Hats'' involved Wayne wearing a UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush mask, then sitting there gibbering like an idiot, and finally ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFX-dKpcDz8 taking off his shoe and bonking his own head]].''
** Still on Wayne: the novelty of a black dude doing a convincing Scottish accent hasn't quite worn down, as ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' proves.
* Wayne going from Let's Make a Date to LetsMakeADeal.
* Any ''Literature/{{Pinocchio}}'' jokes from the UK run fall under this now (see RunningGag below).

* Ryan's played [[TheCuriousCaseOfBenjaminButton a man aging in reverse]] a couple of times.
* Crosses into HarsherInHindsight [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hCQ7h-Bbao here.]]
** "You are THIS close to being substituted with GaryColeman! THIS CLOSE!!"
* Towards the end of [[http://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]].''
* Towards the end of ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzX-jEeQnnw this]]'' clip, a game of ''Stand, Sit, Bend'', where Clive has designated the scene as 'cowboys on the range'. Greg, saddled with the bending position, deliberately [[CampGay posed suggestively in Clive's direction.]] ''[[BrokebackMountain Bear in mind that they're cowboys.]]''
* All those fat jokes about Drew Carey... [[http://roflrazzi.com/2010/07/31/roflash-drew-carrey-now-stealing-bob-barkers-svelte-shape/ Who's laughing NOW?]]
** People always ask me, "Hey, Drew, did you lose weight?"
** "I'm Drew Carey, and yes, I have lost weight, thanks for asking."
* Brad's second response to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFX3C-QO4RM#t=0m38s Celebrities that Should Never Release Rap Records]]. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89jt7zJzkNQ Guess]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn7-fVtT16k what?]]
* Wayne's second "tune" [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ9pIu_Zs8Y "Songs of the Bus Driver"]] inadvertently predicted 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}}.
* The "Scenes From A Hat" suggestion on the original U.S. run had "What Colin dreams about" and the other 3 guys come out pretending to be bald and screaming in horror after they did all the bald jokes against Colin. By the time the new version came on U.S. tv, Wayne has shaved his head. And sometimes one of the rotating fourth players will be another bald guy like Gary Anthony Williams or Keegan Michael Peele.
* Another "Scenes From A Hat" features Ryan playing President Carol Channing. Funny, but no more hilarious today then it was then. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Nelson_Mandela#Sign_language_interpretation However, Brad walks out with him playing a sign language interpreter.]] Ryan's "who the hell are you?" comment really cements it.
* One session of ''Props'' that wound up in the UK ClipShow eps ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGs0Dt68jAw&t=2m40s here]]) involved a ''massive'' cone that covered Ryan's head ''and shoulders''. It was meant to be silly, but Ryan going completely quiet and motionless made it look rather unnerving, [[SilentHill even back then.]]
* One early UK session of ''[[GagDub Film Dubbing]]'' had Clive giving the scenario "two roommates in a flat", when the actual clip was really a documentary with two presenters. Thanks to the clip's format of addressing the audience, Ryan and Greg quickly turned it into a ConfessionCam joke, predating ''Series/TheRealWorld''.
* The ''Newsflash'' game involving the [[NauseaFuel rat infestation]] has Colin start off by saying "it started with some bad soup!" The plot of ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'' kicks off when Remy ''tries to fix Linguini's bad soup.''
* During Superheroes, Colin is given the name Presidential Candidate Man. The world crisis he is to solve is "no teleprompters". Fast forward 10 years, and one of the most popular targets of parody for President UsefulNotes/BarackObama is his perceived over-reliance on teleprompters.
* One of Ryan's lesser-used [[RunningGag running gags]] was to acknowledge that he looked like a grown-up [[Series/DoogieHowserMD Doogie Howser]]. This was during the time when Creator/NeilPatrickHarris' career post-''Doogie Howser'' wasn't relevant to Hollywood. A year after the last episode of ''Whose Line'' aired on ABC, NPH would become [[Series/HowIMetYourMother legen... wait for it... dary]]!
* Colin's role as the director of an art museum in ''Film/TheTuxedo'' takes on a different meaning if you've seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMlpeMLqCxQ&t=3m45s this.]]
* Early in the UK series, Tony Slattery thought to take a session of "Authors" OffTheRails by choosing to tell his parts of the tale [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb-nxqa7iaA&t=1m00s in the style of 'My Little Pony']]. It's doubtful he knew at the time [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic just how big that then-obscure children's franchise would become.]]
* Scenes from a hat suggestion: "Strange causes to raise money for." Ryan: "[[DrewCareysImprovAGanza Get Drew Carey a third show?]]" Well, sort of. [[ThePriceIsRight Although...]]
* Here's an in-show example: during Colin's Newsflash on clips of himself, he famously said "It all started with a badly-timed bald joke!" A minute after the game ended, Drew was joking around about it when Colin started giggling out of the blue, and said "Oh! I said the bald joke thing, too!"
* In an interview, Colin once told a story about a family of ''Whose Line'' fans he and Wayne Brady met the day before a taping who were planning on coming. As they left, the older lady in the family complimented Wayne and called him "a nice Christian boy". The next day, the family showed up and said older lady is picked for Song Styles. She was none other than "Lee the Lunch Lady". And now you know why Colin practically falls out of his seat with laughter from the chosen style of the game onwards.
* Just think about every time Wayne Brady made a UPN joke...and now he'll be part of the ''Whose Line?'' revival on [[TheCW the network that took over UPN.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVCZJwic0mA "Please Santa, just a pair of brown shoes..."]]
* After all those bald jokes in the first version of the U.S. edition, Colin's no longer the one with the least scalp hair come the second version.
* The revival features an episode guest starring Robbie Amell, who played an employee of Greg Proops' character in TrueJacksonVP.
* HoYay [[LukeMochrieAndTheInners must run]] [[WebVideo/SuburbanKnights in the]] [[WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee Mochrie bloodline]].
* Any time Colin mentions his children is funnier thanks to Luke.
* In a series 9 episode of the UK version, Colin Mochrie brings up blue whales... while right next to [[Series/{{QI}} Stephen Fry]].
* One of the responses to the "Scenes from a Hat" prompt "The dreams of Colin Mochrie" was his fellow castmates screaming after [[LaserGuidedKarma becoming bald]]. In the 2013 revival, Wayne is now balder than Colin.
* A game of "Duet" to Robbie Amell leaves Jeff Davis questioning if there's 4 or 5 members of On Direction. There were 5 when they filmed that in 2014, but in 2015, Zayn left and they decided to continue as a four man group.
* Turns out Ryan's constant use of the name 'Gary' summoned an actual Gary - Gary Anthony Williams, the new EnsembleDarkHorse.
* One game of "Secret" in UK season 9 was about Series/TheLoneRanger, where Ryan as Tonto has an OohMeAccentsSlipping moment, causing Colin (the Lone Ranger, natch) to start "rubbing off" all of Tonto's "makeup", revealing him to be a white dude. [[Film/TheLoneRanger Fast forward to 2013...]]
* One "Scenes from a Hat" suggestion was [[{{Film/Click}} "times you wish you could fast-forward Real Life".]]
* One Weird Newscasters has Colin preaching about [[Anime/KillLaKill how people are shackled by the conventions of clothes.]]
* One "Song Styles" has Drew picking a professor from the audience, then joking about him running a meth lab. [[Series/BreakingBad Sounds like a really popular idea.]]
* Remember that "animal porn" line? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdeIpc0wYns Well...]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TDPAjgpT5Q This]] game of ''Sound Effects'', about the story of [[Literature/TheBible Noah]], has Ryan telling Colin to find two unicorns, and Colin claiming that there's a sheep with a cone attached to its head trying to pass for a unicorn. [[Blog/AskFlufflePuff Well]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRC4Vk6kisY ...]]
* [[http://youtu.be/0dCJxurpKNo One game of "Party Quirks"]] had Ryan as "All the characters in a gay western". What does ''[[Film/BrokebackMountain that]]'' remind you of?
* In one game of "Scenes From a Hat", one suggestion was "Naked photos you wouldn't want to see on the internet". Wayne walked out and said "Hi, I'm Bea Arthur...". Unusual then, but in 2013, [[http://news.yahoo.com/bea-arthur-topless-painting-fetches-131634944.html it's worth $1.9 million.]]
* Another "Scenes From a Hat" featured "celebrities who shouldn't do rap videos." One of Brad's offerings was Stephen Hawking. Some may think that this is where Ken Lawrence got his idea for MC Hawking, just to spite Brad.
* [[http://youtu.be/yHBktBmL6Y4 During this game of "Whose Line"]] parodying ''Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast'', Ryan does a dance similar to the "Gangnam Style" dance by Music/{{Psy}}.
* Creator/StephenColbert played the anchor during "Weird Newscasters" on his episode.
* Wayne guest-hosted The Late Late Show in 2015. Near the end of his first episode, he performed a song, the glare from the stage light reflected by his now-bald head.
* The first playing of the Millionaire Show involved Brad's repeated use of "Richard Nixon" as a potential answer. A few weeks later, the first ever person to win in the ''Series/WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire'' franchise was asked which president appeared on the show ''Series/LaughIn''. Guess what the answer was?
* Creator/SteveCarell auditioned for the show but didn't make it - but he's been a "Weird Newscaster" [[Film/BruceAlmighty twice]] [[Film/AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy already!]]
* When Wayne appeared on Nick Cannon's improv show, someone stole Wayne's rhyme during a rap game. This prompted Wayne to compare the offender to MC Hammer, [[HypocriticalHumor who is famous for doing the same]].
* A 2014 episode featured them doing "World's Worst commercial". Gary Anthony Williams (at the time, quite heavyset) joked, "Believe it or not.... I used to be fat!" The 2015 episodes have started airing, and Gary has clearly lost a lot of weight during the break!
** Then Gary gets cast in ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesOutOfTheShadows'', as [[FullBoarAction Bebop]]... meaning he gains back ''twice his own weight.''
* The LesMiserables number which shoehorned in a pregnant woman for drama - turns out Series/KeyAndPeele [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__d2FMCtgi4 did that already.]] Too bad Key wasn't there that week.
* One game of "Hats" has Ryan attempting a JiveTurkey impression by calling everyone "jack", which Aisha and Wayne point out is pretty outdated. [[SamuraiJack Maybe now, but in the yey distant future, not so much.]]
* The "Narrate" set in the White House featured a joke where Colin narrated, "There didn't seem to be much security around, I just walked right in." Funny when you consider that in 2014, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_White_House_intrusion one person managed to get past the security and enter the White House before being caught.]]
* When ''Scenes from a Hat'' had the suggestion "lines you wouldn't hear in a love song", Ryan went up and sang "Soon I'll be a girl like you...", which comes a few days after Caitlyn Jenner's much-publicised gender reassignment.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aik3HZjjjKk Newsflash of wrestling clips.]] This one might be best appreciated as dark humor for wrestling fans, since the footage is from Wrestling/{{WCW}}, and all of Greg and Ryan's references are for Wrestling/{{WWE}}. At the time of the airing of this episode, WCW was on the verge of collapse, and about to be purchased by WWE.
* The show makes a huge leap in LGBT representation with a ''Newsflash'' of kissing scenes, with same-sex kissing mixed among the more normal ones ([[HoYay plus a few reminders that the show itself is guilty]]). Just a few days later, the Supreme Court rules on gay marriage nationwide.
* Creator/StephenFry's last appearance on the UK version had one "Number of Words" based on RomeoAndJuliet, which ended with Stephen randomly breaking character and saying "call [[LeonardBernstein Bernstein,]] I think there could be a musical in this." SimonPegg [[Film/HotFuzz had the same idea.]]
* The old US series lampshaded all the HoYay with Wayne announcing that "sometime tonight, I'm humping someone in the audience." It doesn't happen till the third revival season.
* One game of "Hollywood Director" in the revival had Ryan revive his JohnWayne impression, only for Colin to point out that "the kids are gonna need {{Google}} with you." Surprisingly, TheFineBrothers [[{{WebVideo/React}} find a few]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZeiLwHKlds that won't!]]
* One game of "The Millionaire Show" had Brad as the host mistakenly naming Cathy Lee Crosby instead of Kathie Lee Gifford. Someone must be out to set him straight, as Kathie Lee Gifford actually appears in an episode with Brad in the third revival season! As a matter of fact, pretty much every time they joke about Kathie Lee Gifford can go into their own big fat folder right here.
* The original run of the series made a fair amount of referencing the fact gays can't be legally married in the United States. Then in 2015, the Supreme Court changed all that...
* All the jokes about Film/StarWars as well, now that Colin actually has a son named Luke.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLr5dCqERYY&t=1m51s Hey, I didn't mean to cook your dog...]]
* The second revival season had one "Hollywood Director" where Ryan made a very convincing duck call sound - the third season would have an authority of sorts on the matter, Willie Robertson from ''DuckDynasty'', while Ryan operating a real duck call leads to EpicFail.
* One game of "Questions Only" set in a teen soap opera has Ryan coming up with the sports team name "the Wildcats". Probably inspired by a plot point from ''{{Film/Speed}}'', but it's funny that a GenreThrowback [[HighSchoolMusical to teen dramas some years later would use that name as well.]]
* One "Film Dub" was about a black-and-white {{tokusatsu}} with [[PeopleInRubberSuits a "monster"]] with a huge eye on its stomach (''Film/EvilBrainFromOuterSpace''), which is especially funny as ''Series/KamenRiderGhost'' also premiered that week.
* Wayne got the chance to make up an {{Music/Adele}} song about getting evicted - now Adele has a song that goes "Hello from the outside..."
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJWAi5cpdok In this game of Press Conference]] from the first U.S show, Colin played a retiring Santa Claus. When Ryan asks him who's going to take over the job, Colin responds that he is considering DonaldTrump. The joke was funny back then, but it is so much funnier today in light of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
* The only game ever of ''Survival Show'' resulted in Greg saying "I'm available to host ''Series/ThePriceIsRight''..." Some years down the line, Bob Barker retires - Drew Carey takes the reins. Then Brad decides to become the announcer. More hilarity ensues.
** HeartwarmingInHindsight: On ''Price'', Drew is a very kind man, and [[TookALevelInKindness easily on his best on-camera behavior ever]]. In other words, Drew is not really a jerk, and his tenure on ''Whose Line?'' was just one long opportunity to cut loose, like a glorified bachelor party. ''No wonder'' he was so kind to Laura Hall.
* Brad's role borders on awesome when you consider a ''Let's Make A Date'' playing where his quirk was as a "game show prize announcer", and his ''ThePriceIsRight'' impression [[http://youtu.be/qNCjsPRT0Ik was spot on]].
* 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''.
* During one such Hoedown about House Arrest, Colin says he's got a real easy parole officer. The parole officer is Charlie Sheen.
* Score one more for Greg: the first ever game of ''Sports Commentators'' had him in the role of one of the commentators. Bonus points for Rory, the other commentator, going into one of his obscure accents.
* When Jonathan Pryce guest starred in one episode from 1989, he played a [[PiratesOfTheCaribbean pirate]] in Party Quirks.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM-aqCNFiKM "That was so nasty they wouldn't even post it on the internet...]]" Indeed.
* One game of ''Hats'' involved Wayne wearing a UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush mask, then sitting there gibbering like an idiot, and finally ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFX-dKpcDz8 taking off his shoe and bonking his own head]].''
** Still on Wayne: the novelty of a black dude doing a convincing Scottish accent hasn't quite worn down, as ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' proves.
* Wayne going from Let's Make a Date to LetsMakeADeal.
* Any ''Literature/{{Pinocchio}}'' jokes from the UK run fall under this now (see RunningGag below).
* Did [[Film/KungPowEnterTheFist Steve Oedekerk]] watch [[http://www.youtube.com/watch#v=zzOJ17h-Rhs this]] particular clip?
* Ryan's played [[TheCuriousCaseOfBenjaminButton a man aging in reverse]] a couple of times.
* Crosses into HarsherInHindsight [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hCQ7h-Bbao here.]]
** "You are THIS close to being substituted with GaryColeman! THIS CLOSE!!"
* Towards the end of [[http://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]].''
* Towards the end of ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzX-jEeQnnw this]]'' clip, a game of ''Stand, Sit, Bend'', where Clive has designated the scene as 'cowboys on the range'. Greg, saddled with the bending position, deliberately [[CampGay posed suggestively in Clive's direction.]] ''[[BrokebackMountain Bear in mind that they're cowboys.]]''
* All those fat jokes about Drew Carey... [[http://roflrazzi.com/2010/07/31/roflash-drew-carrey-now-stealing-bob-barkers-svelte-shape/ Who's laughing NOW?]]
** People always ask me, "Hey, Drew, did you lose weight?"
** "I'm Drew Carey, and yes, I have lost weight, thanks for asking."
* Brad's second response to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFX3C-QO4RM#t=0m38s Celebrities that Should Never Release Rap Records]]. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89jt7zJzkNQ Guess]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn7-fVtT16k what?]]
* Wayne's second "tune" [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ9pIu_Zs8Y "Songs of the Bus Driver"]] inadvertently predicted 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}}.
* The "Scenes From A Hat" suggestion on the original U.S. run had "What Colin dreams about" and the other 3 guys come out pretending to be bald and screaming in horror after they did all the bald jokes against Colin. By the time the new version came on U.S. tv, Wayne has shaved his head. And sometimes one of the rotating fourth players will be another bald guy like Gary Anthony Williams or Keegan Michael Peele.
* Another "Scenes From A Hat" features Ryan playing President Carol Channing. Funny, but no more hilarious today then it was then. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Nelson_Mandela#Sign_language_interpretation However, Brad walks out with him playing a sign language interpreter.]] Ryan's "who the hell are you?" comment really cements it.
* One session of ''Props'' that wound up in the UK ClipShow eps ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGs0Dt68jAw&t=2m40s here]]) involved a ''massive'' cone that covered Ryan's head ''and shoulders''. It was meant to be silly, but Ryan going completely quiet and motionless made it look rather unnerving, [[SilentHill even back then.]]
* One early UK session of ''[[GagDub Film Dubbing]]'' had Clive giving the scenario "two roommates in a flat", when the actual clip was really a documentary with two presenters. Thanks to the clip's format of addressing the audience, Ryan and Greg quickly turned it into a ConfessionCam joke, predating ''Series/TheRealWorld''.
* The ''Newsflash'' game involving the [[NauseaFuel rat infestation]] has Colin start off by saying "it started with some bad soup!" The plot of ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'' kicks off when Remy ''tries to fix Linguini's bad soup.''
* During Superheroes, Colin is given the name Presidential Candidate Man. The world crisis he is to solve is "no teleprompters". Fast forward 10 years, and one of the most popular targets of parody for President UsefulNotes/BarackObama is his perceived over-reliance on teleprompters.
* One of Ryan's lesser-used [[RunningGag running gags]] was to acknowledge that he looked like a grown-up [[Series/DoogieHowserMD Doogie Howser]]. This was during the time when Creator/NeilPatrickHarris' career post-''Doogie Howser'' wasn't relevant to Hollywood. A year after the last episode of ''Whose Line'' aired on ABC, NPH would become [[Series/HowIMetYourMother legen... wait for it... dary]]!
* Colin's role as the director of an art museum in ''Film/TheTuxedo'' takes on a different meaning if you've seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMlpeMLqCxQ&t=3m45s this.]]
* Early in the UK series, Tony Slattery thought to take a session of "Authors" OffTheRails by choosing to tell his parts of the tale [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb-nxqa7iaA&t=1m00s in the style of 'My Little Pony']]. It's doubtful he knew at the time [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic just how big that then-obscure children's franchise would become.]]
* Scenes from a hat suggestion: "Strange causes to raise money for." Ryan: "[[DrewCareysImprovAGanza Get Drew Carey a third show?]]" Well, sort of. [[ThePriceIsRight Although...]]
* Here's an in-show example: during Colin's Newsflash on clips of himself, he famously said "It all started with a badly-timed bald joke!" A minute after the game ended, Drew was joking around about it when Colin started giggling out of the blue, and said "Oh! I said the bald joke thing, too!"
* In an interview, Colin once told a story about a family of ''Whose Line'' fans he and Wayne Brady met the day before a taping who were planning on coming. As they left, the older lady in the family complimented Wayne and called him "a nice Christian boy". The next day, the family showed up and said older lady is picked for Song Styles. She was none other than "Lee the Lunch Lady". And now you know why Colin practically falls out of his seat with laughter from the chosen style of the game onwards.
* Just think about every time Wayne Brady made a UPN joke...and now he'll be part of the ''Whose Line?'' revival on [[TheCW the network that took over UPN.]]

* The revival features an episode guest starring Robbie Amell, who played an employee of Greg Proops' character in TrueJacksonVP.
* HoYay [[LukeMochrieAndTheInners must run]] [[WebVideo/SuburbanKnights in the]] [[WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee Mochrie bloodline]].
* Any time Colin mentions his children is funnier thanks to Luke.
* In a series 9 episode of the UK version, Colin Mochrie brings up blue whales... while right next to [[Series/{{QI}} Stephen Fry]].
