Fixing up examples. Also moving Spiritual Successor to the YMMV page.


** IAmNotShazam:
** The best known example would be everyone from Clive to Drew using "Film/{{Braveheart}}" when they mean Creator/MelGibson as William Wallace. Another case involves a reference to ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', where Colin introduces himself as "[[Literature/WhiteFang Beauty Smith]]".[[invoked]]

* SomethingSomethingLeonardBernstein: When "Scenes from a Hat" had the suggestion "songs from doomed {{Broadway}} musicals", Colin's offering was basically him babbling through an entire musical number, with the only words he remembered being "[[LaserGuidedAmnesia short term memory]]".

* SpiritualSuccessor:
** "Film Dub" is like the late 90s/early 2000s version of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', except providing entirely new dialog instead of riffs between the dialog. In fact, some of the films that the cast dubbed new dialog for in "Film Dub" were also featured in ''[=MST3K=]'', such as ''Film/TeenagersFromOuterSpace,'' ''Film/TheBrainThatWouldntDie,'' ''Film/TheUndead,'' ''Film/NightOfTheBloodBeast,'' and the short ''Film/OnceUponAHoneymoon.'' It's definitely deja vu if you've seen those ''[=MST3K=]'' episodes beforehand (or vice versa).
** On the opposite end of this trope, we have ''Series/MockTheWeek'' on one side of the Atlantic and ''Series/DrewCareysGreenScreenShow'', ''Series/DrewCareysImprovAGanza'' and ''Series/TrustUsWithYourLife'' on the other. Plus the international series ''Series/ThankGodYoureHere''.
** More recently we have ''Series/FastAndLoose'', which is essentially ''Series/MockTheWeek'' minus the topical rounds.



** In the revival season, a Duets game with Gary Anthony Williams and [[HartOfDixie Wilson Bethel]] led up to Gary ending a line with this phrase. Cue Wayne {{corpsing}}.

Added DiffLines:

* SultryBellyDancer: A few examples in the American version:
** Season 2, Episode 33 featured a Newsflash segment where Colin was receiving clues related to an Arabian Nights-esque short film, where belly dancers were entertaining for a large throng of men. The scene was made even more hilarious when Colin signaled that he understood the clues by attempting to dance like the belly dancers behind him.
** An episode in Season 5 had attractive twin belly dancers with snakes. The comedians snakes show up for a game of Duet. Both Wayne Brady and Chip Esten kept alternating between humor and terror throughout the whole scene. Especially scene due to the snakes, especially when one of the snakes tried to get very personal with Wayne Brady.
** In an episode of Season 10 (with new host Aisha Tyler), a segment for Greatest Hits has Ryan and Colin suggesting Wayne Brady to perform a bellydance-esque musical number about evicting a roommate. Kudos goes to Wayne for managing to pull off a number of moves that a real-life dancer would use in a performance.

Added DiffLines:

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Colin usually ends the Irish Drinking Song with a bizarre, even ridiculous non-sequitur of a lyric that leaves everyone else struggling to not laugh. One of his most famous was the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6wVV32H9Lw Graduation]] Irish Drinking Song, where he suddenly ends with "There's blood in my stool!" Everyone else, including Drew, is dying laughing... except, interestingly enough, special guest Creator/KathyGriffin, who doesn't seem the slightest bit fazed by Colin's madness.
-->'''Kathy:''' ''[back at the seats, casually grabbing some water]'' What? That totally made sense to me.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhmGVb-RvZE One classic "Improbable Mission"]] started out with Colin claiming they can reach the embassy in Central America in a transporter, even though Ryan says they "haven't worked out the bugs in that thing". Not surprisingly, the first try ends up with Ryan mimicking [[Film/TheFly a fly.]]

** Even the UK run had some of this. Josie and Paul were given ''WesternAnimation/TheClangers'' as a film/theatre style once, with Clive admitting he had no idea what that was. After the pair successfully copied it (Josie was the narrator and Paul did the Clanger whistling), Clive was ''still'' lost.

Added DiffLines:

** One Irish Drinking Song sung by Wayne, Greg, Colin and Ryan was about voting for UsefulNotes/RossPerot. Most of it made fun of his ears and his wealth. Ryan threw in a line about Ross not buying any hash for him and Greg suspected that he lives alone.

Added DiffLines:

* TearsOfAwe: During a "Newsflash" segment, Colin pretends to do this after realizing the scene is clips of himself. A later "Newsflash" has clips of Ryan, who claims the same thing.
