Thread "Scenes from a hat" in forum "MAFIA... and other forum games"

Posted at 3:04PM, Apr. 28, 2011

Hi all!

As president and founder of my school's improv club, I am a huge fan of improvisational humor. As such, I thought it would be fun to bring one of my favorite Whose Line is it Anyway games to the DD forums. This, ladies and gentlemen, is scenes from a hat!

The rules are very simple. I give a prompt, and you find a way to make it funny.

EXAMPLE: Prompt: Things you can say about your car, but not your girlfriend. Possible Response: "Man, there's a lot of junk in that trunk!"

I'll keep a prompt going until I think people are starting to run out of ideas, then I will give a new prompt.

Whenever I discontinue a prompt I will declare a winner for that prompt. The winner will be the person who gives the funniest quote.

Here is your first prompt: Things not to say during the birth of your first child.

have at it!

If I may answer twice: Question the efficacy of 5 cent condoms. Aloud.

Nice ones! Now I'm gonna change things slightly.

I have altered the prompt a little because, in the spirit of Whose Line, I would like responses to be given in the form of a quote.

speaking of which:

"Wow honey! That's a beautiful baby! I'm going to call my wife and give her the good news."

In that case:

"No no, that's not the way - aw, come on honey, we're going to a different hospital."
