History Series / DrewCareysImprovAGanza

* ActorAllusion: one game of "Freeze" led to Jonathan going "[[LetsMakeADeal Would you like to know what's behind curtain number 2?]]"

* {{Troll}}ing: one game of "Moving People" starts with an over-enthusiastic woman from the audience getting rather touchy-feely with Drew - cue Ryan quietly stepping in for her and groping Drew's ass ''for quite a long while, before he finally notices''.

* UnsoundEffect: The LittleProfessorDialogue above was in response to one woman going "magnificent" and "powerful" to represent ''flexing biceps'' in ''Sound Effects''. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments And flexing buttcheeks go "Beyoncé" for some reason.]] And apparently, Doctor bills and $1,000 damage are sound effects too.

* SpecialGuest: A literal HeyItsThatVoice moment when two announcers, Rich Fields from ThePriceIsRight and this show's intro, and Steve Kamer from ''Inside Edition'', get to participate in "Sound Effects".

* DirtyOldWoman: Audience member Jeannie in a recent "Song for a Lady."

** And how could anyone forget the redheaded cougar, Pam?

** In a recent game of "Sentences" with Chip and Jeff, all it took was the word "velociraptor" [[MythologyGag to get Colin in on the action.]]

* InherentlyFunnyWords: a recent game of "Sentences" churned out the phrase [[http://tv.gsn.com/shows/improv/blog/sentences-captain-roger-and-tamberline "sex-butt"]], [[RefugeInAudacity which Ryan started milking for all it was worth.]]

** Also, Colin still has is way of getting his way out of things by fainting, being quiet and such. A recent "Question This" sees the return of his [[EnemyToAllLivingThings animal abuse]] jokes:

** There's a couple of lesser-known ones - references to Ryan's resemblance to Creator/NeilPatrickHarris have been upgraded to "[[Series/DoogieHowserMD Doogie Howser Sr.]]" now, and Jeff acted as Creator/ChristopherWalken again in a recent "Freeze Tag".

** In a recent ''Bob's Call'', Kathy was singing about her attraction to her brother. Colin, unable to think up a rhyme, said something about peeing in a urinal.

* RippedFromTheHeadlines: a recent song in "Hits Compilation" titled "[[{{Ponzi}} Bail Me Out]]", namedropping Madoff to boot.

** And in a recent "Bob's Call":

** Three of the ''Price Is Right'' models recently participated in the first ever 3-man "Moving People".

** A recent "Freeze Tag" brought up NickNolte and LindsayLohan.

** One game of "Options" had someone suggest ''Film/BlackSwan'', leading to an impromptu ballet and [[HoYay same sex kissing]]. Another one had the suggestion of "Film/ThePrincessBride" instead, which the players were more familiar with if Drew's "Inconceivable!" was any indication.
** The official website is running a competition called "[[WesternAnimation/BluesClues Drew's Clues]] Sweepstakes".

* ShoutOut: One game of "Options" had someone suggest ''Film/BlackSwan'', leading to an impromptu ballet and [[HoYay same sex kissing]]. Another one had the suggestion of "Film/ThePrincessBride" instead, which the players were more familiar with if Drew's "Inconceivable!" was any indication.

* RunningGag: Thanks to the venue, jokes about gambling come up a lot.

* PissTakeRap: from the new "Kick It!" game to stuff like [[www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqZgGV0Tb9Q&t=18m35s this with Jeff, Chip, and Jonathan]], which amazingly went on for more than two minutes.

** In Diana's Song for a Lady, Jeff breaks down and sings lots of "Oh Yeah"s. He does this until Chip acknowledges Jeff is getting carried away.

* PissTakeRap: from the new "Kick It!" game to stuff like [[{{www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqZgGV0Tb9Q&t=18m35s}} this with Jeff, Chip, and Jonathan]], which amazingly went on for more than two minutes.

Jeff: IfIHadANickel for that!

** Even better, ep. 38 had Drea picking this bespectacled guy from the audience, ''also named Drew.''

** Ryan mentioned kidney stones again a recent episode.
** And it looks like the Colin bald jokes are back!

** Colin's dinosaur impression is seen again in the most recent episode.

* MythologyGag: Ryan's use of 'Gary' and 'Phil' and jokes about how they got to be in the show have come up on occasion.
** Indeed, and now he got ''everybody else'' doing it. Colin called Drew Phil in a game of Playbook, and even Jeff called people Gary. And don't forget 'Phil' the Cyclops and his friend 'Gary'.

* [[CreativeClosingCredits Creative Opening Credits]] The cast members have [[CreditsBrandProducts their names on assorted signs, cards, game machines etc. throughout the resort.]] It's done alphabetically, so if you're alert, you can tell who will be featured. [[StealthPun Drew's face is quite appropriately on a Joker, as is Bob Derkach on the nametag of a dealer,]] but you'd think putting Chip's name on gambling chips would be an obvious one...

* {{Deadpan Snarker}}s: The Whose Line Alumna. They're used to bad suggestions and poor audience participation. Occasionally they seem to ''revel'' in them.

* BuffySpeak: "I've got to put some new tires on my car. It's a high-performance vehicle. Fortunately, I have a uh... putter-onner thing that works mechanically."

*** Needless to say, Jonathon got his vengeance that day.

A new improv comedy show hosted by comedian Drew Carey, the show is a gathering of ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' veterans and fresh faces, as well as new guest stars. The format has changed somewhat, as Carey is not the solitary host and others take turns explaining the games. The setting is at the MGM Grand theatre in [[VivaLasVegas Las Vegas]] instead of a sound stage in Hollywood, which gives it more of a traditional stage improv feel.

* ButtMonkey: Jonathan and Sean, mostly. So far, Sean has been in both "Mouse Trap" games.

* PissTakeRap: from the new "Kick It!" game to stuff like [[www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqZgGV0Tb9Q&t=18m35s this with Jeff, Chip, and Jonathan]], which amazingly went on for more than two minutes.

* AdaptationDistillation: The new game "Two Headed Expert" is basically "Three Headed Broadway Star" and "All in One Voice" meshed together and without the musical aspect. [[http://tv.gsn.com/shows/improv/blog/two-headed-expert-morticians-cancun Until this one,]] [[AscendedFanon anyways.]]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: [[http://tv.gsn.com/shows/improv/blog/question-medulla-oblongata "What did I say to the judge I would do to get points? Albania."]]

'''Ryan''': "[[RealitySubtext Thanks for reminding me I'm out of a job.]]"[[note]]Except it's just been confirmed they're merely adding AshtonKutcher to the cast and not cancelling TwoAndAHalfMen now.[[/note]]

''Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza'' has been cancelled, but Drew Carey still owns the rights to the show and another is being planned. Meanwhile, most of the old gang went to London and filmed a summer 2012 series for ABC, ''TrustUsWithYourLife'', based on the "Day In The Life" improv game.

** In a recent ''Sound Effects'':
-->'''Brad''': Keep on ''[[ItMakesSenseInContext ''cumin'']]'' round the mountain.

** In one game of "Sentences," Drew was forced to say, "If you [[ItMakesSenseInContext don't like the way I smell,]] then (unfolds paper) ({{Beat}}) [[CrowningMomentOfFunny the price]] [[ThePriceIsRight is wrong]]."

* AWildRapperAppears: "Kick It!" inserts snippets of rap into scenes which are otherwise played straight.

* HotterAndSexier: While it isn't any less raunchier than the original Whose Line, GSN has cut and censored far less for broadcast.
** Some of the LighterAndSofter approach from ''Drew Carey's Green Screen Show'' has been retained though, like the time they get a kid to voice ''Sound Effects'', and Ryan calls out Jeff for even suggesting "HowardStern".

** There's a couple of lesser-known ones - references to Ryan's resemblance to Creator/NeilPatrickHarris have been upgraded to "[[DoogieHowserMD Doogie Howser Sr.]]" now, and Jeff acted as ChristopherWalken again in a recent "Freeze Tag".

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Averted with Jeff's KeanuReeves in "Question This".
** Jonathan as GeorgeTakei in one "Hits Compilation" falls just a little short.

* ThisTropeIsBLEEP

* {{Trolling}}: one game of "Moving People" starts with an over-enthusiastic woman from the audience getting rather touchy-feely with Drew - cue Ryan quietly stepping in for her and groping Drew's ass ''for quite a long while, before he finally notices''.

* UnsoundEffect: The LittleProfessorDialogue above was in response to one woman going "magnificent" and "powerful" to represent ''flexing biceps'' in ''Sound Effects''. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny And flexing buttcheeks go "Beyoncé" for some reason.]] And apparently, Doctor bills and $1,000 damage are sound effects too.

* {{Deadpan Snarker}}s: The Whose Line Alumna. They're used to bad suggestions and poor audience participation.

* BearsAreBadNews: In a recent "Sound Effects":

* BearsAreBadNews: In a recent "Sound Effects":

-->'''Brad''': "I'm just gonna pick up this rock..." (Steve Kamer makes an odd sound) "Actually, it's a hibernating bear! I like to use a hibernating bear that ''looks'' like a rock so that when it's coming in, it's a big surprise to the enemy! They'll think, "Just a rock." But no, it's an angry bear that's been woken from its sleep in mid-hibernation!"

* EverythingsWorseWithBears: In a recent "Sound Effects":
