Shortform Night Highlights - April 1, 2008

[ProfessorKirk]

$19.85 You'll Never See Again genuinely blew me away last night.

From Sue's introductory funny face to their spectacular Newscast to Porter absolutely pwning 185, you guys showed us what shortform is all about. Awesome job.

This was a very, very fun night.

 

[wcocoa]

Classic Porter

 

[bozarth]

Birch Harms' Chauvinist sports caster. Everything from "Great Cesar's Ghost!" to "Well.... now I've seen EVERYTHING!" Absolutely brilliant.

Also, Ben Roger's constant mugging, and his love for Ace Ventura.

Best costume of the night has to go to the DeCoster DeCosters.

I greatly enjoyed (I forgot the rest of their name) Bastian's "Party Quirks" and DeCoster DeCoster's "Changing Styles." The Shakespearean one with Ari's soliloquy and Pam's anguished cry about the clogged drains was particularly fun.

 

[Whines]

Keep posting!

 

[ariscott]

Gabrus’s shorts.
Chelsea’s “Look! A secret passage!”
Frusciante’s attempt to make light fly.
Oscar’s Spanish station.
Ari V.’s Shakespeare.
Risa’s “Welcome to the 6:03 News” and all of 1985.
Violet’s facial expression as she came on stage.
The fact that most of the brown-bagged offenders were girls.

You want peanut?

 

[Dave B]

... and 184 Michael Keatons said "...but I'm Batman".

 

[MikeStill]

Brian Barrett in Party Quirks immediately and confidently guessing "Mark Twain's mirror maker"--so so close to "Mark Twain's glass maker." That man's mind is a fucking swiss clock!

 

[MichelleD]

Oscar’s Spanish station.

Los Huevos!

The fact that most of the brown-bagged offenders were girls.

Didn't one girl get double-bagged at one point?

 

[done_and_dunn]

When Brian Barrett guessed "Mark Twain's mirror-maker," I nearly lost my shit!

Porter taking a seat to tell his 185's.

That kid in the audience getting brown-bagged.

"No more wire hangers" x 2 !!

 

[melissa go]

Chelsea getting brown bagged and Garbus putting the headband over her head.
Megan Neuringer's "top hat, bottom hat" and Decoster's "Star Wars" to keep the story going.
"I'm not Mario Lopez, I'm Wario Lopez."

 

[chelsea]

I can't remember exactly how it went, but Devlyn totally got denied by the blind line when he was so happy to be back in the "danger room"

Anthony Cyclopse: I should spend more time in the danger room, I keep telling myself "hey, get outta that room!"

also, Kelsey Wolverine--- classic Devlyn.

 

[zomby sneakers]

i must reiterate how fucking amazing birch and sue's sports announcer scene. i could have watched that scene all night. 'but was there a little man in your headband telling you what to do?' MOAR BIRCH PLZ.

seriously brian... how the fuck did you get mark twain's mirror maker? what the fuck man?

ari pointed out at the end of the night that it was (if you stayed for raw, which you should have) that it was a night of the absolute extremes of improv, which was fucking cool as shit. great night everyone :up:

 

[David Siegel]

Los Huevos!



Didn't one girl get double-bagged at one point?

That would be Fran G.

For the record, both bags were for the same word.

 

[PatBaer]

Violet's costume/expression was wonderful.

 

[AlanStarzinski]

Violet one of the highlights. Just her face of how disappointed she looked and how genuine it was. A million dollars would be paid to see that.
