Yay! That was from our show last night!
My favorite for a LONG time was in a Coldtowne show. Chris and Tami are trapped in a house surrounded by scary noises and they're freaking out. Tami grabs a phone and starts dialing. And dialing. And dialing. It's like a thirty digit number.
Chris: Who are you dialing?
Tami: I'm just pressing numbers. Hello?
Arthur (on phone): You've reached a crazy land!
Cracks my shit up.

James Roberts: (banging on glass wall) Help! Caveman no like living in exhibit anymore. Want real life!
Ann Wilson: (banging back) Help! Businessman hate real world! Want in exhibit!
...or something like that. Someone help me fix this for accuracy.

If you disrespect your character, or play it just for laughs, it will sell some gags, but it's all technique.

Coldtowne Cagematch 11/29
At the top of the scene, Cody was endowed as Michael Jordon. Either he or his partner was riding a toy horsey. Anyway, after being endowed as Jordan....
CODY=Wayne Gretzky, I haven't seen you since you cured cancer. What are you doing in this super market?
Also. in the same show, Cody's burger wasn't cooked to perfection.
CODY=You nerds gotta learn how to grill.

Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.

Arthur Simone in the same year's musical show:
"I'm leaving right now unless there's a song..."
everyone stopped and looked at him. then there was no song, so arthur left.

if i remember it correctly, it was "You have to learn how to forgive your enemies once you've killed them." But i'm notorious for misquoting myself.
(and it's Jordan...i don't particularly care, but my mother gets annoyed. you don't want to annoy my mother, do you?)
oh, also, thank you.
my nomination from last night: "Good thing I'm a cyborg now!" -Arthur Simone.
i almost had to go backstage, i was laughing so hard.

Yep, I think that was it (or awfully similar). I had occasion to trot this line out in a completely non-improv-related stage situation tonight and received a few guffaws, several delayed laughs and a lot of confused looks. For me, this is a home run.the_reverend wrote:if i remember it correctly, it was "You have to learn how to forgive your enemies once you've killed them."
Y'all write some of my best stage banter. Thx.
