It's no secret that I — the human woman writing this post — am a big fan of the original American run of Whose Line Is It Anyway? and absolutely everything they've done. It's my ultimate comfort show, and I rewatch clips from it anytime I need a serious giggle.

ABC

Which, in recent years, is often.

Anyway, one of my favorite things about the show is that you can see just a still from one of the games with a prompt, and laugh your darn butt off from the sheer ridiculousness of it!

For the record, mine is the three-headed Broadway star skit when Drew Carey 110% forgot the whole point was to only sing one word at a time. IDK why, but it kills me every time. He's just so into it. Mess.
