Harold Night Highlight Thread 11/11/08

Some of my favorite moments: Bangs' Cool dad and daughter circling boobs in National Geographic, Bastian's Cool-Guy with a gun.

All of the hosts were hilarious.

Let's get this ball rolling and help me remember things I laughed at.

Also: Does Brandon Gardner wear long sleeves under his shirts so the audience won't be distracted by his muscles?

I heard somewhat at New Team Harold drew blood.

Is the guy who got punched okay? What happened?
Domenico Mazolillo got hit in the face. He got a gash on his face making it look like his eye was bleeding. He put on a band-aid and returned for 3rd beats.

RAGNAROCK's Dorks vs. Popular guy scene. It started off so nicely with everyone being on board that the dorks were picking a fight with the popular kid. Such support!

Shannon O - "I give each of my classes a dare before each show. This dare was for someone to get punched in the face."

The Scam's first group game was amazing!

Erik: Do your children spend a lot of time playing board games?

Kevin: ...No.

Birch: Now hold on, guys. Are you tired of making pasta the old fashioned way?

Oh, and my favorite line from Rag's set: PATRICK CORP!

I was in that New Team Harold show and also got whacked pretty hard in the face (and still feel a bruise)-- but thankfully, avoided injury. I was at the other end of the stage and so preoccupied with my bruised cheek that I didn't even realize what had happened to Dom at first.

Dom is a fucking champ. Got bandaged, then came back on stage to rejoin the show. I asked him on the back line if he was OK, and he just wanted to know which beat we were in. Motherfucker's committed. And he made a point of going up to the puncher after the show to say there were no hard feelings. Dom Manzolillo is a class act.

Also, Shannon O'Neill and the UCB staff are awesome for making sure he was taken care of.

Also, the name of our team was "Captain Exit Wounds", so I urge future classes to choose their class-group names very carefully.

Ladies and gentlemen, always come early for New Team Harold. Harold Night is where you can see some of New York's finest improv teams, but New Team Harold is where shit gets real.

(Our class graduation show on December 9th had better fucking sell out now.)

I also saw Shannon's new team Harold show last night, and I had seen Shannon and Chris' fight scene at the Del Close Marathon. Blood has been drawn; the bar is raised!

Bastian's third beats, dramatizing previous scenes...

• The Scam's infomercial group game
• "Some say she's not a little girl at all, but a giant bird."- Clements in Bangs' opening
• Ragnarock's popular kid vs. dorks group game
• the whole thematic Bastian show, nicely capped with the 'reenactment' third beats
• Paul's thanksgiving dinner with an entirely taxidermied family. My favorite ever Whorenado blackout
