* CanadaEh:
** A playing of "Foreign Film Dub" had the language of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgwXvk6LQy4 Canadian]]" used, which featured lots of "eh"s and references to hockey, ice boxes, and other Canadian stereotypes.
** This gets brought to light in a game of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRMNns8_s1Q Props]] - Colin and Wayne are supposed to be playing hockey, and though Colin is holding the stick correctly, Wayne looks more like he's ''using a broom''.

* The first new game of "Party Quirks" had Ryan as "a DeepSouth sherriff falling in love with everyone he arrests", very similar thematically to his "all the characters in a gay Western" one.

* {{Corpsing}}: Generally the players try to keep a straight face during the skits, but sometimes they can't help but laugh. Some examples:
** Ryan struggling to keep a straight face in a playing of "Improbable Mission" with Ryan and Colin doing the laundry. Colin repeatedly used a "cat" as a tool to aid this task, which Ryan found amusing.
** During a playing of "Greatest Hits", Ryan quizzed Colin about what type of bird squawks the name of the next band. Colin, puzzled by the question, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKQ6eoXfBKU&t=68s guessed an arctic tern.]] Ryan, equally puzzled, asked what kind of sound an arctic tern makes. After thinking for a second, Colin squawked: "Music/BackstreetBoys!" Ryan lost it (as did the rest of the cast) [[note]]for the record, Ryan was actually talking about [[Music/TheWho an owl]][[/note]].
** Similarly, in another "Greatest Hits", Ryan asked Colin what he thought of when he hears "Ricky Ricardo and great cigars". Colin replied, "Tapioca". Ryan asked why, and Colin replied: "Well wasn't that his famous song? (singing) "Tapioca"! "Tapioca!"" Ryan tried desperately to stave off laughter and continue with the bit, but after two tries to finish his sentence, he broke down laughing for a good 30 seconds.
** Yet another Greatest Hits, [[http://youtu.be/ZtIQCV7_wsw#t=3m30s about lunch ladies]], featured another classic Ryan moment. Colin began to speak, but coughed. Ryan failed to maintain his composure while Colin said: "Here's a tip for all you announcers at home: Swallow before you speak." After this, Ryan got it together until Colin announced the title of the next song, "Don't Want Your Milk". Watch Ryan in this moment; he's desperately trying to refrain from smiling/laughing while Colin speaks.
** The game "Questionable Impressions" practically invites this trope, since the performers do such over-the-top (and occasionally, bad) impressions with the intent to crack up the opposing player. In one instance, Brad did an exaggerated, stutter-filled impression of Creator/JimmyStewart; Ryan knew he couldn't get through the scene without laughing and just let Brad have the "win".
** In a playing of "Sound Effects" where Colin was Ryan's heavily pregnant wife, Colin mimed pushing the baby back inside himself to climb down a ladder comfortably. At this, Ryan cracked up (as did pretty much everyone in the studio save for Colin), and Ryan continued to laugh even while asking if Colin was all right after the climb.
** The game of "Let's Make a Date", with Colin as someone "having secret affairs with Ryan and Wayne's shoes" and Ryan as "a comedian strapped to a bomb that counts down when the audience isn't laughing". Which leads to Colin pulling off one of Ryan's shoes when Ryan can't even ''move'', much less avoid giggling.
** During a playing of "If You Know What I Mean" about working out, Brad cracked up at his own double entendre, "Nothing like a 200 pound (snatch)[[note]]a weightlifting term[[/note]], if you know what I mean!"
** A playing of "Irish Drinking Song" went off the rails right from the start, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLH00_KLJjs when Drew mumbled a line]], and Ryan mocked his mumble. Wayne, the next in order, was too busy laughing to come up with the next line, as was Drew. To make them laugh even harder, Colin shouted "MEOW!" as his line, which was a RunningGag from the same episode. The resulting laughter from everybody was so immense that [[NotSoAboveItAll Laura Hall actually had to stop her piano-playing just to laugh]].
** Another Irish Drinking Song about pregnancy ''almost'' went off the rails, when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R476ZZxCWg Colin managed]] another RunningGag. Wayne ended the song trying to stifle his laughter, and Greg and Ryan had to stop.
** Colin is the master of causing this during Irish Drinking Song because of his dogged determination to finish the final chorus with enthusiasm.
** Apparently Irish Drinking Song makes the performers very prone to corpsing because it takes an intense amount of concentration, and when one of them laughs, it makes them all break up.
** Colin cracked up at his own blunder in a playing of "Changed Letter" where he started the game by flat out forgetting to not say the letter "B".
** Speaking of "Changed Letter", one playing had the contestants unable to say the letter "P"; they had to replace it with "G". Ryan began to crack up when Colin asked him if he'd like some "gog" to drink. This was exacerbated when Wayne added: "Soda gog and gickles??"
*** The cracking up started even earlier in the scene; when Ryan and Wayne entered the scene, Ryan asked, "Gerhaps we could join you?", but was instantly corrected by Brad, as he was supposed to say "gerhags". Ryan smiled wide as he corrected himself.
** Kathy Greenwood has been known to break character and smile/laugh in certain scenes. An example is in a playing of "Helping Hands" where she played an impatient customer being checked out by a rude clerk. At one point, Colin's hands roamed a little too close to her chest area, and she genuinely laughed at first, but then got back into character by being offended and accusing: "Hey what are you grabbing at?!"
** In a "Showstopping Number" about accountants, Wayne (playing the boss) smirked at his own line: "Now normally, I'd fire someone for their impudence, but..."
** In the "Greatest Hits" about songs of sci-fi, the second song ("Obi Wan Kenobi in the Flying Brown Robey", in the style of jitterbug) featured a moment when Colin tried to pick up Wayne for a dance move, but it ended up looking more like the two were humping. This caused Wayne to burst out laughing.
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDU10TD85DM this]] round of ''Three-Headed Broadway Star'', Drew accidentally forgot the "one word at a time" rule, and almost completely fell apart laughing for the rest of the song. It got to the point where he could barely call out the cue to cut to a commercial break, prompting Ryan to do so instead.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpdhRBbfb6o This]] round of ''Dead Bodies'', featuring Drew as the regular in the chair. Drew, playing a dead actor playing a lifeguard who just saved someone (and was doing a victory dance), can't stop laughing. And that is why Drew was rarely used in ''Dead Bodies''.
** In the "World's Worst" infomercial:
--->'''Ryan:''' Is your penis too small? Well- ''[cracks up]''
** One game of Secret from the revival contains an extremely rare moment of Colin completely losing character to stifle his laughter. Why was he laughing? [[http://www.cwtvpr.com/images/photos/thumbnail/2014/11/03/WL214A_0250b.jpg Because this was the prop]].
** In the "Greatest Hits" about doctors, during the song "Take Two and Call Me in the Morning", Wayne began laughing at Chip, for some reason. He was doubled-over when the song concluded.
--->'''Ryan:''' You know the year that song was written, they were quite heavy into the bottle.
** In the "Whose Line" parodying ''Film/{{Gladiator}}'', Ryan briefly smiled and chuckled at his own line: "Put on your metal... dress."
** When providing examples of the World's Worst Priest or Rabbi, Drew did a stellar impression of Jerry Lewis as a rabbi; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaszW74MZEk it caused everyone - EVEN Colin - to lose it laughing.]] And when Greg inadvertently snorts for breath, it causes the wave to hit again.
** Wayne cracked himself up in this "Scenes from a Hat" suggestion:
---> '''Wayne:''' ''[singing]'' These words, they come so whimsically / I know your wife biblically, but please... ''[laughs]''
** When it happened to Drew during "Foreign Film Dub", his "dubber" Ryan played it up:
---> '''Ryan:''' Excuse me, I will sell you my--Ah ha ha ha, I will sell you my--Ho ho ho ho...
---> '''Colin:''' (for Jeff Davis) Excuse me?
---> '''Ryan:''' I will sell you--Oh, I'm not Spanish at all!

** A beautiful one from Colin in the "Dubbing" game with [[JaneTheVirgin Jaime Camil]], fully intended to play up Jaime's background in ''telenovelas'' - and Jaime matched it ''[[LargeHam admirably.]]''.

** Creator/StephenColbert brought some actual German to the table during his appearance, even getting a [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Hitler]] [[GeniusBonus quote]] in.

** Taken to its logical conclusion in the episode with [[JaneTheVirgin Jaime Camil]], when we finally hear all of Wayne and Jeff's Spanish versus Jaime's very authentic Spanish (apart from a moment where he explains that "hermano" means "brother), Colin's quarter-assed attempt, and Ryan not even bothering.

--->'''Wayne:''' Mary, we have brought this: A [[UsefulNotes/{{Playstation2}} Playstation 2]] for the little one.

** When providing examples of the World's Worst Priest or Rabbi, Drew did a stellar impression of Jerry Lewis as a rabbi; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaszW74MZEk it caused everyone - EVEN Colin - to lose it laughing.]]
