Here's a place where we can wish to never hear either a suggestion from the audience or a joke that's been so over done that we never want to hear it again. Whether or not they were funny to begin with, here's a place to lay certain jokes to rest.....hopefully.

The Club.

The Park.

Blue Jell-o.

George W. Bush.

So young, so full of life, so beaten to death with a zombie horse.

The two things that bother me the most are ignorance and arrogance. The former keeps you so far out of the loop that you have no idea what it means to enjoy somthing and the latter just makes you look like a dick.

Inside jokes.
"Things I've Learned During My Time As A Working Actor"

#1. If I have at least one useless skill or talent that I can do really well, there will be someone out there who is stupid and/or gullible enough to pay me a shameful amount of money to do it in front of other people.

#2. No matter how good I am at my useless skills or talents, there will always be someone out there who can do it better than me, be more successful than me at doing it, and be more renowned for doing it than me.

Any thing DBZ related (Kamehameha, Goku, and Over 9,000).

Much like the show, they've worn their welcome about two hundred episodes ago.

Well not so much an inside joke rather than an overuse of a joke, specially in the game "world's worse". Which is why World's Worst has become one of my top "I don't want to see this played ever again" games in club. Because the same 3 jokes are reused over and over and over again.

Ryan's post reminded me...

World's Worst.

Freeze I think was on life support for a while there.

Questions I think still might be. (Yay for rephrasing.[/sarcasm])

The trouble with overused choices is that you are bound to get a fair number of them from your audience.

No matter who is in your audience, someone at some point is going to suggest Brittany Spears. It is inevitable. I don't think there was ever an improv show that I performed where Spears was NOT suggested. (A close second was Johnny Depp.)

Hence, since you already know the pop/political/current events references will come up in show, there is no need to suggest or use them during club. Save it for the show, where it will feel more fresh and spontaneous instead of rehearsed and stale.

I would really like to see all nonenglish phrases in "My mother said..." just immediately die and never rise up from the grave. We have rules and structure for a reason in all of our "games". Is it funny to be the sole reason a scene just completely haults and all the momentum of the Yes Ands to have a massive heart failure and flat line? NO! So please, when whoever gets up and explains the rules of the game, listen AND follow. The rules are there to help the game be more successful.

Speaking of "My Mother Said", I would like to stop introducing the phrases with "My Mother Said" or "That sign says!". If we have to change the name of the game, so be it. There are far more creative and humorous ways to introduce a phrase.

only semi-club related...people taking pictures with their camera slanted. A lot of these pictures are turning out really well. However, I can't use them on the website because how they look.
