Line #12 WMG/WhoseLineisitAnyway


1	--> "Good evening everybody, welcome to Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway! Tonight's performers... [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Survey Corps, Wayne Brady! Military Police, Chip Esten! City Garrison, Colin Mochrie!]] [[TakeThat And Colossal Titan, Ryan Stiles!...]]"
2
3	[[WMG:It's not too hard to guess what ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' would be like if it were still on...]]
4
5	...going by today's trends at this time of writing:
6
7	* ''Props'' and ''Dating Service Video'' would be overrun with Music/LadyGaga jokes
8	** They waited till #8 for that, and even then the wig used by Keegan Michael Key looked more like Music/NickiMinaj.
9	* ''Greatest Hits'': Colin and Ryan would mess with Wayne by suggesting Series/HannahMontana, Music/LadyGaga, Ke$ha
10	** Music/JustinBieber, Music/{{LMFAO}}, etc.
11	* ''Song Styles'': Music/TheJonasBrothers & Film/HighSchoolMusical, T-Pain are legitimate styles now
12	** Wayne does Film/HighSchoolMusical in ''Series/FastAndLoose!''
13	** This troper is almost convinced Wayne can pull off an Autotuned voice.
14	* Memetic songs would eventually be mentioned in the show one way or another. Songs like: "Never Gonna Give You Up", "Friday", The "Trololol" song, "Gangnam Style", etc.
15	** They referenced "[[Music/{{Macklemore}} Thrift Shop]]" in the new series.
16	* ''Film, TV, Theater Styles'': [[Film/{{Cloverfield}} 'New age' monster movies]], [[Film/TheDarkKnight comic]] [[Comicbook/{{Watchmen}} book]] movies, [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings fantasy]] [[Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia epic]] get suggested, maybe anime gets subdivided into [[{{Mons}} monster anime]] or [[{{Hentai}} adult anime]]
17	** More modern popular animated shows are mentioned like ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'', ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', etc.
18	** ''Series/{{Top Gear\|UK}}'', maybe?
19	* ''Newsflash'' gets phased out as practically every clip they can find is already overexposed on the internet
20	** Jossed as of #7.
21	* MemeticMutation is made known:
22	--> "Wayne, you will be performing for Derpina in the style of [[{{Music/Psy}} Gangnam Style.]]"
23	** ...and Ascended Memes as 'The Cat' is suggested for ''Weird Superheroes'' or ''Foreign Film Dub''
24	* ''Multiple Personalities'': whoever is holding the jar is [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Jack Sparrow]], whoever is holding the CoolShades is [[Franchise/TheMatrix Neo]], whoever is holding the red cape is [[Film/ThreeHundred Leonidas]]...
25	** Wayne could probably pull off Leonidas, but Colin might wind up sounding a bit [[ViolentGlaswegian too Scottish]].
26	*** You say that like it'd be a bad thing :)
27	* [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife TV Tropes Awareness]] seeps into some games, like say ''Whose Line'':
28	-->Ryan: "...and then I will look him square in the eye and say (takes out paper, reads) MundaneMadeAwesome?!"
29	** Or ''Weird Superheroes'':
30	--> "Thank goodness you're here, GetAHoldOfYourselfMan!" (Ryan starts slapping everybody)
31	* Any act involving mock nudity or streaking now includes a [[{{Squick}} Goatse reference]]
32	* {{Retraux}} trend leads to more games from the UK run being revived
33	** This troper just started following ''The Green Screen Show'', and sure enough they've imported ''Tag'' from Whose Line UK.
34	*** And Series/DrewCareysImprovAGanza also resurrects the concept behind ''Every Other Line'' in the form of '''Playbook''.
35	** More of the British players would make special appearances. (Tony would only be allowed on once, because, afterwards, the censors would ''beg for forgiveness.'')
36	* More female players recruited, Wayne appears less since ''Series/DontForgetTheLyrics'' is also on (Greg or Brad usually get his place)
37	** Chip and Jeff get promoted to 'first chair' rank, allowing Greg, Brad and Wayne with more time off - consequently, any stretch of eps made in Wayne's absence is referred to as the wind-down or off-season
38	*** Chip has become a bigger star since his ''Whose Line'' days, and appears on ''Series/{{Nashville}}'' now, so that probably won't happen.
39	* More special guests from higher paycheck levels - Cameron Diaz, Robert Downey Jr...
40	** Wayne and Jack Black would kick ass in the singing games.
41	* Linda Taylor now rotates with a male guitarist on occasion.
42	** Guest ''musicians'' from bands like Music/{{Timbaland}} or something? Why the hell not...
43	* Neon light on desk is replaced with rows of LED's housed in plexiglass tubes.
44	** No, the neon has to stay. Ryan slamming his head into a bunch of LED's wouldn't be nearly as funny.
45	* Wayne's stock impressions now include Obama (presumably as a permanent replacement for Music/MichaelJackson and UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush jokes) and Tiger Woods.
46	* Either Ryan or Colin become the first to attempt [[Film/TheDarkKnight a Heath Ledger Joker impression.]]
47	--> "You wanna know... [[RunningGag How I lost my hair?]]"
48	** And yet, I can still see the show as hilarious.
49	* There will be a lot more video game references. Like the entire cast of VideoGame/TeamFortress2, [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link,]] or [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]] for party quirks.
50	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeSbyvXlBZI&feature=player_detailpage#t=127s I dunno... They didn't seem to know a whole lot about video games.]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Except maybe Colin...]]
51	** Still true in the new show. Wayne thinks VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto has a KonamiCode of all things.
52	* ''African Chant'' gets [=ReTooled=] into ''[[Film/{{Avatar}} Na'vi Ceremony.]]''
53	* More than a few singing games end with rhyming [[TakeThat 'whore' or 'bore']] with ''Series/JerseyShore''.
54	** Apparently it's outdated by now, they've gone with the Kardashians as acceptable targets instead.
55	* Speaking of music, ''Song Titles'' would finally lampshade all the unavoidable HoYay when someone says "[[Music/LadyGaga Bad Romance.]]"
56	* More comic book references, including a new RunningGag about how Colin and ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} are now the two most famous Canadians.
57	* If Drew is still hosting ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' in this hypothetical universe: There would be a lot of jokes about the show at his expense. It would probably replace ''Series/TheDrewCareyShow'' and ''Gepetto'' jokes.
58	* ''Film Dub'' goes even more international with footage from more Asian films eg. UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}}
59
60	-->Drew: "Here's your scene - [[Film/{{Inception}} Wayne and Greg have entered Ryan's dream, where they must plant an inception in the fridge in the pantry at his workplace. While they're halfway done, Ryan steps in to get coffee, and Wayne and Greg have to pretend like they belong in there, otherwise the entire dream will collapse.]] Colin steps in later with notes on how to improve the scene; whenever you're ready, take it away."
61
62	* HilariousInHindsight: Since the show is planned on getting rebooted for 2013, it will be interesting seeing which of these examples above will be true.
63
64	[[WMG:If Obama appeared on ''Whose Line''...]]
65	* His appearance gets foreshadowed with say, Obama clips in ''Newsflash'' or "Songs of the President" for ''Greatest Hits''
66	* They'd start off with a ''Song Styles[=/=]Duets'' for him to start with
67	* They'd simply ''have'' to have him behind the lectern in ''Press Conference''
68	* Obama might volunteer for ''Questions Only, Film Dub, Scene to Rap''
69	* Captain Hope or Captain Change for ''Superheroes''
70	* Welcome to Whose Line is it Anyway, the show where everything's made up and the points don't matter; that's right, the points are like politics.
71
72	[[WMG:''Scenes From A Hat''. What HASN'T been done yet for this fantastic game?]]
73	Well, how about:
74
75	* "Strange things to be arrested for."
76	* "People who shouldn't drive public transportation."

87	* "The funniest phrases ever uttered by Creator/StephenHawking."
88	--> '''@/IuraCivium''': [[AC:From the preceding derivation it is trivial to prove that the singularity is created at the intersection of two p-branes.]][[note]]Yes, they are actually called ''p''-branes. Hawking wrote about it in some of his books.[[/note]]

90	-->'''@/{{Quanyails}}''': reaches into hat, pulls out paper, reads "Suggestions for Scenes From A Hat that didn't quite make it."

92	* "Things you can say about your TV, but not your girlfriend."
93	-->God, I hate these older models, they're so hard to turn on properly!

95	* "What life would have been like if your parents were [[DrillSergeantNasty drill sergeants]]."
96	* “Things you can say about a bag of gumballs but not your boyfriend.” [[note]] Adds a little more variety to the "Girlfriend" jokes. Good luck trying to come up with non-sexual jokes![[/note]]
97	-->'''@/{{Be}}''': "Give me a gobstopper, would you, honey?"
98	-->'''@/ReveriePlanetarian''': "Sure, have one, it's a quarter a pop."

108	-->'''@/IuraCivium''': Smile! Your hometown is just one undetected meteor strike away from obliteration.
109	* Anything that ''starts'' with "Things you can say about your girlfriend"
110	* "If we could hear the thoughts of chickens."
111	-->'''{{@/LordAaronus}}''': (gossipy housewife voice) So I was telling Gracie, yknow, when she was '''HNNNNGH!''' we saw Lula from Coop 5A walking around '''RRRRRRGH!''' and would you believe it, she was with the Latino rooster from '''OOOH! OOOH! GRADE A!! GRADE A!!'''
112	* "What the VideoGame/AngryBirds are thinking while they're hurled from the catapult."
113	--> Chip: (arms flailing) "I'm supposed to do what now?!"\
114	Colin: (same) [[NoIndoorVoice "GOOD HOLY GOD THIS IS BETTER THAN SEX!!"]]
115	* Aisha: "What Drew Carey will be thinking when he watches this."

157	'''Wayne:''' Hi, I'm Music/KanyeWest...\
158	'''Drew:''' Hi, I'm UsefulNotes/BillClinton...
159	* "If Creator/{{NPR}} and Creator/{{PBS}} aired live UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}}, [[{{UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague}} NHL]], and [[UsefulNotes/{{NationalFootballLeague}} NFL]] coverage."
160	* "Things you can say about your grades / report card but not your girlfriend." [[note]]I know that they've used [[GenderInclusiveWriting partner rather than girlfriend]] on the revival, but this just works better with the original setup.[[/note]]
161	* "If the weather report was legally binding."

177	** How would this be different from the time Colin was someone who was unsure of the genders of everyone, [[CrossesTheLineTwice and groped them to find out]]?
178	* "Inept flair bartender"
179	* "Mickey Mouse [[BlackComedy realising that all the food was made from his friends]]"
180
181	[[WMG: The points '''DID''' matter.]]
182	And whoever had the most accumulated when the show ended secretly got $100,000 in cash from Drew Carey.
183	* Wasn't there an episode where Drew skipped on the points and just threw $100 bills at the guys?
184	** They had to return them.
185
186	[[WMG: There will be a reunion show on CBS instead of ABC.]]
187	Even though the show aired on ABC and occasionally has reruns on ABC Family, a lot of the American cast has wound up working on CBS at some point or another since then:
188	* Drew Carey currently hosts ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'', also did the show ''Power of 10'', and has also made a guest appearance on...
189	* ...Wayne Brady's incarnation of ''Let's Make a Deal'' which had a strong first season and will be brought back for another, so he won't be leaving that show very soon.
190	* There's also Ryan Stiles' appearances on ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen''.
191	* Brad Sherwood and Jeff Davis have auditioned to take over Rich Fields' spot as the announcer for Drew's ''Price'' as well.
192	* Wayne Brady has a recurring role on Series/HowIMetYourMother as Barney's gay black brother.
193
194	Since ABC still has the rights to air the show, it might be done as a stealth reunion but most fans will pick up on all of the ''Whose Line'' stars together on camera. Perhaps the winner will be the one who comes closest to the actual retail price without going over. They'll get to play a pricing game with Drew...while the losers play [[SarcasmMode their favorite game in the]] ''[[SarcasmMode whole wide world]]...'''Hoedown!'''''
195	** How about GSN? https://www.youtube.com/user/ImprovAGanza
196	* [[GratuitousGerman Nein!]] It will be on Website/ChannelAwesome! Why? [[WebVideo/LukeMochrieAndTheInners The nepotism factor.]] (Besides, the Animaniacs special showed it can be done.)
197	* The bad news: all of these theories have been {{Jossed}}. The good news: it ''is'' getting a revival on Creator/TheCW.
198
199	[[WMG:"Welcome to Whose Line Is It Anyway, the show where everything's made up and the points don't matter. That's right, the points are like..."]]
200
201	* "[[BlackComedy ...doggy treats in North Korea.]]"
202	* "...Arguing to bring back TroperTales."
203	* "...whatever happened in the Music/LinkinPark song 'In the End'."
204	* "[[Comicbook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder ...Dick Grayson, Age Twelve.]]"
205	* "[[{{GoldenSnitch}} ...the popular vote totals in Presidential Elections.]]"
206	* "...what Wrestling/ChrisJericho's [[{{Wrestling/DwayneJohnson}} name is.]]"
207
208	[[WMG: Wayne will be the new target of bald jokes.]]
209
210	* Finally, Colin will be able to make some bald jokes of his own.
211	** Confirmed in #1.
212	* Wayne intentionally became bald to ensure that Colin wouldn't be the only one getting mocked for being bald, doubling as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment\|s}}.
213
214	[[WMG: Doug Walker will be a guest]]
215
216	[[WMG: If Drew gets on as the "fourth seat",]]
217	For some game, he may make a crack on Aisha being in his spot.
218
219	[[WMG:New possible games include:]]
220	* "Rejected Soundtrack" - the love child of "Greatest Hits" and "Scenes cut from the Movies", this one just tests Colin and Ryan's movie knowlege as they make up song titles about a movie suggested by the audience.
221	--> "...that classic tin pan alley tune, "[[Film/TheAvengers2012 Why Did Coulson Have To Die?"]]"
222
223	[[WMG: There will be a Song Styles about Laura Hall.]]
224
225	[[WMG:All the booze in the box from one game of "Secret" was all left over from "Helping Hands".]]
226
227	[[WMG: Aisha will, at some point, let the audience use "Lana" as a suggestion for Doo Wop.]]
228	And it will be the best playing of that game EVER.
229
230	[[WMG: Kathy Greenwood was pretending to play dumb on the guessing games.]]
231	In the guessing games, you bow out of the scene if your quirk/character is guessed. Perhaps Kathy exploited this by pretending to not know, banking on her partners to make the scene more outrageous. After all, Ryan broke the glass that one time in Party Quirks because she couldn't quite guess that his head kept stuck to other things and he was the last one remaining.
232	* I don't know about Kathy, but Creator/GregProops did this many times.
233
234	[[WMG: Future ideas for "Weird Superheroes":]]
235	* [[{{WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers}} Muscular]] [[{{Music/JustinBieber}} Bieber]] (In fact, some people are actually surprised this ''hasn't'' happened yet. It's that obvious.)
236	* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan
237	* Creator/ChrisEvans (That is, Chris Evans the actor, not [[{{Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse}} as]] [[{{ComicBook/CaptainAmerica}} Steve Rogers]], [[{{Film/FantasticFour2005}} Johnny Storm]], or [[{{WesternAnimation/Lightyear}} Buzz Lightyear]]. Remember, they did Creator/TomArnold at one point during the Creator/{{ABC}} run.)
