Whose Line Club
is an unofficial Whose Line Is It Anyway?-inspired Discord server based off of /r/ScenesFromAHat. The group typically plays games at 8:30 PM Eastern time, but occasionally do surprise games at other times. The group often streams their games on Twitch and has archives available on YouTube.
Some of the active members include:
- MeanElephant: The woman who runs the server. She organizes most of the games and currently operates the Twitch stream.
- Basket
- Dale
- DannyMiii
- ∆ a.k.a. Delta
- M3Times
- Mufasa (moderator of /r/ScenesFromAHat)
- Platonic
- Richard Kelley
- Wolfman Hot Dog
Games the group are known to play include:
- Games from Whose Line Is It Anyway?:
- Change
- Let's Make a Date
- Party Quirks
- Press Conference
- Scenes from a Hat (shamelessly stolen from /r/ScenesFromAHat)
- Superheroes
- Weird Newscasters
- Other more-traditional improv games:
- Everything Emporium
- Tonight's Schedule
- Tabletop and similar games:
- Dungeons & Dragons, 2nd Edition
- Fiasco
- Jackbox
- Pretend You're Xyzzy
Whose Line Club has the following tropes in the hat:
- Berserk Button: Do not ignore MeanElephant's instructions as she tries to keep the Discord channel orderly.
- Catchphrase: "New topic?" for MeanElephant, signaling a new prompt for Scenes from a Hat.
- Cross-Cast Role: The "bachelorette" for Let's Make a Date is almost always played by a man. (If it happens to be Mufasa, expect a terrible falsetto.)
- Determinator: MeanElephant will move heaven and earth to make sure the sessions happen and are successful. For the first Fiasco playthrough, she installed and set up streaming software on approximately an hour's notice on a new computer just so that there would be a record.
- Lost Episode: Yes, even this group has one. Unusually, it was deliberately declared a Lost Episode in the middle of its broadcast.
- Non-Indicative Name:
- MeanElephant is a) pretty chill and b) not an elephant.
- Wolfman Hot Dog is neither a lycanthrope nor a beef foodstuff.
- Basket is not a basket.
- Overly Long Gag: To the point that just mentioning the line "And my axe!" will send members into a rage. This comes from a playthrough with a prompt "If famous movie lines went on too long"; the response that mentioned the line went on for three and a half minutes.
- Real Life Writes the Plot: DannyMiii's job at a hospital has come up on more than one occasion.
- Running Gag:
- It's always five o'clock somewhere.
- Everybody but MeanElephant thinking the weekly games started at 9:00, not 8:30, has been the target of much Self-Deprecation.
- The infamous, overly-long reference to Gimli's "And my axe!" keeps getting brought up.
- This just in: two weeks until this entry grows stale.
- Santa has the worst defense attorney imaginable.
- Whoops, there it goes.
- The Younginator, and if it works on babies- stems from a game of Jackbox where someone created a new tool known as a Younginator that makes whoever it is used on younger. They were then asked it it works on babies. It is now a frequent callback.
- Danny sleeping with everyone's wives
- Nicholas Cage stealing everything
- Any time someone makes even the slightest hint at an incestual experience, Dale (without fail when present) will chime in and sing "Sweet Home Alabama"
