History WhoseLine / TropesJToR

* MisaimedMarketing: Invoked; after a round of "If You Know What I Mean".
-->'''Brad:''' Nothing like a 200 pound snatch, if you know what I mean...\\
''[later]''\\
'''Brad:''' It ''is'' a weight lifting term.\\
'''Wayne:''' This program brought to you by the Church of Latter Day Saints.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEwyCCaq4Vc&list=PLtVtKrCzLGm8jZlrIlEUXDxvUXn2Uddi4]] Wayne does a "Song Styles" to a bingo-caller lady as that specific song, with the other 3 men as backup dancing zombies.

* MissingTrailerScene:
** A clip of Wayne doing "Song Styles" with Creator/MaggieQ ''wasn't in the actual Maggie Q episode''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLvFAuhrWeU The original promo for the Robbin Williams episode]] contained a clip from a playing of "Hats", with Robin referencing ''Mork & Mindy''. "Hats" wasn't played in the actual episode.

* OldShame: The performers never miss an opportunity to recall that Drew starred in Film/Geppetto.

* OutOfOrder: During the show's initial network broadcast, Season Seven was the ''only'' season where the episodes were actually aired in order, otherwise, the other seasons were broadcasted so out of order that by after Season Three's original run, episodes from Seasons Four, Five, and Six were being mixed up something awful.
* OutWithABang: Insinuated in the Doo-Wop song about Jessica who died in a exterminating accident.

--->'''Colin:''' Our top story today. Convicted hitman Jimmy "Two Shoes" McClardy confessed today that he was once hired to beat a cow to death in a rice field using only two small porcelain figures. Police admit that this may be the first known case of a knick-knack paddy whack.

* PeoplePuppets: A "Scenes From A Hat" suggestion was what politician's wives are really thinking while standing around smiling and waving. Ryan pretends to be moving a puppet and out of the side of his mouth say, "It sure is nice to be president."

* RealSongThemeTune: The radio series was introduced by a version of George Gershwin's "I Got Rhythm".

%%-->[[EatTheDog "Hey I didn't mean to cook your dog..."]]

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers:
** The US version of ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' introduces each of the four panelists with a related non-sequitur, ending in Ryan Styles, who gets a phrase that is comparatively more mundane, insulting, or [[DamnedByFaintPraise damnation by faint praise]]. For example in one episode Wayne, Jeff, and Colin were introduced as famous landmarks while Ryan was introduced as a Cleveland bus stop.
** In one "Greatest Hits", Ryan said if he's feeling romantic with his wife:
-->'''Ryan:''' I'll get a nice bottle of champagne, dim the lights, and I'll put on some thrash. 'Cause nothing gets her hotter than a little thrash music.

** In a game of Narrate, Ryan plays a barber, who goes to give Colin a shave and ends up slicing his throat, Sweeney-Todd-style. Colin then steps forward and calmly says;

* LongTitle: The second nomination in the "Award Show" for bitter divorce is: "Oh No You Didn't! Why She's Calling You at All Times in the Morning? Don't Give Me That Crap About You "Work" With Her".

* KickTheSonOfABitch: A "Scenes From The Hat" suggestion was things that would make the audience start booing. Ryan says wait until a bus is coming and shove a old lady in front of it. The audience explodes in cheering, and Ryan is confused by the fact that [[MisaimedFandom it clearly wasn't what he was going for.]]

* PrecisionFStrike:
** From "Hats":
--->'''Greg:''' I have a giant fish head on. I'm 42 (bleep)ing years old.
** After Drew was rejected to use "Creator/BillCosby and UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler" for "Title Sequence", he got the replacement suggestion from the audience, "Bill Cosby and the Insurance Salesman", and said:
--->'''Drew:''' [[SarcasmMode Mother(bleeping) hilarious, isn't it?]]
** In the U.K. version, Season 6 Episode 3, after a game of "Party Quirks" where Tony Slattery couldn't correctly guess 2 of the 3 guests at the end of the time limit, Tony told Clive to fuck off. Clive takes away all of Tony's points ever on the show.
** One episode of season 8 of the US version (which was actually from a taping during season 1) had Greg delivering two of these. The first was early on in Scene to Rap when he wound up messing up one of his rhymes. The game actually stopped completely and they redid the game from the beginning.
--->'''Greg:''' This is school, as you can see, I'm a principal for thee. I'm the principal, that's true - and I'm ([[SoundEffectBleep bleep]])ing this thing up, man.
** Later in "Hats"
--->'''Greg:''' ''[while wearing a sci-fi rubber head]'' I'm a Klingon by trade...\\
''[mild audience reaction]''\\
'''Greg:''' And when I'm not funny, I sit here with this (bleep)ing thing on my head.\\
''[Wayne starts dying laughing]''
** Occurs from time to time in uncensored scenes or outtakes.
--->'''Ryan:''' ''[singing]'' If we do another Hoedown, I'll slit my fucking wrists.\\
'''Brad:''' ''[later]'' I didn't know we could say "fucking"!
** After a playing of "Award Show", Drew mentioned the Cable Ace Awards:
--->'''Drew:''' They quit giving them out... cause nobody gave a (shit).
** In-between games, an assistant refilled his coffee cup while he was still on camera, but he didn't notice it until she walked away. He called attention to this oddity, of course:
--->'''Drew:''' What the (fuck) was that?? More ale, wench!
** Another outtake on the DVD sets:
--->'''Ryan:''' We interrupt your movie, ''Men In Back'', while we tell you about a special offer. Col?\\
'''Colin:''' I'm kinda tired; why don't you take it?\\
'''Ryan:''' ''[beat]'' Well ''fuck'' you then, I will!\\
'''Drew:''' I don't know if anyone told you, but we have a campus minister and a 17-year-old in the audience...
** Ryan's original [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP9UlmY12_o IRS Hoedown]] ending.
--->'''Ryan:''' I don't file my taxes, every single year;\\
I guess it's the IRS a really, really fear;\\
I guess that's bad of me, doesn't show a lot of class;\\
But every time I do they seem to fuck me up the ass!
** Kathy Greenwood, of all people, not only drops a PrecisionFStrike, but she also went ''uncensored''. At the end of a Helping Hands game, where she and Ryan re-enacted the spaghetti dinner scene from ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'', as Drew buzzes them, Kathy turns her head.
--->'''Kathy:''' Oh, fuck! That was disgusting!

* ThePrimaDonna: When Creator/RobinWilliams guest starred on an episode, he reacted to Colin's criticism in Hollywood Director like an emotionally unstable star who cracks at the slightest difficulty.

** Thanks to CriticalResearchFailure, an attempt at a Spider-Man scene has Ryan as Spider-Man claiming he'd turned evil, which sorta happened in ''Film/SpiderMan3''. And Colin's final line was "You look like a pig", which can refer to [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 one or]] [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie two things.]]

* RefrainFromAssuming: Often happens during "Song Titles", e.g. Wayne saying [[Music/LionelRichie "Hello, is it me you're looking for?"]] when it's really just "Hello".

* NiceShoes: Ryan's gotten plenty of comments on his shoes.

** The recent streak of police brutalities leading to fatalities of color led to Brad and Wayne doing this in ''Scenes from a Hat'' InTheStyleOf Creator/DrSeuss:
