Jeff: Totally Partaaaay!

Freeze

(Ryan, Greg, Drew and Colin are huddled side by side when Jeff joins Chip on the other side)
Jeff: "Dale, check out what I bought - one of those huge office ball-clacker things, this is so cool, just watch..."
(Jeff pulls Colin aside, then lets go as Colin 'rebounds' into Drew and Greg, 'making' Ryan bounce off)
Jeff: "I just wanted to say 'huge office ball-clacker'!"

(after Greg replaces Jeff as the 'donkey')
Greg: "I am so tired of carrying you, Drew!"

Hits Compilation

Colin: "I'm a big fan of the '80s, of course because I was born then... and umm..."
Jeff: (Sarcasm Mode on) "1880s..."
Colin: (shoots them a look) "I'm also a big fan of Pat Boone music..."
Chip: "No no, '80s is good."

(re. boybands)
Ryan: "Should you really be technically called a band if you don't play an instrument?... Or should you really be called a boy when you're 52?"
Greg: "Well Justin Bieber's called a boy and there's really no evidence for it..."

Ryan: "Say his name again."

Greg: "Justin Bieber!"

Ryan: "Aaaahahahaha... He's Canadian."

Colin: "We have collected over 15,000 songs about lawyers, because songs cannot always be about nice things."

Moving People

(Scene: Ryan and Jonathan are in Tahiti)
Ryan: (arms raised as if tree-climbing) "I see a big ripe coconut... You know how they're ripe?"
Jonathan: (face up Ryan's armpit) "You're ripe!"

Ryan: (explaining the game) "Basically you'll be in control of Drew... like ABC was in the '90s..."

(Audience member Jen is struggling to move Chip, as she continually forgets to move his legs.)
Chip: "I'm going to walk over to my tennis bag and get it. (Jen turns him around using his arms.) With my leeeeegs."
(After Chip gets his "racket," Jen again struggles to turn him around using his wrists, resulting in Chip starting to tip backwards. Trying to keep her balance, she spreads his arms wider.)
Chip, leaning backwards, arms outstretched: "WHASSUP, TOM?! I'M 'BOUT TO GET MY TENNIS ON!"

(Ryan getting shoved a bit roughly by audience member Sara)
Greg: (to Sara) "Easy - we need him..."
Ryan: "Don't stop her, Greg."

(When the models from The Price Is Right guest star)
Chip: "Where's the wedding ring gone, Ryan? What happened to the..."
Ryan: "I dunno what you're talking about!"
Chip: (still laughing) "I think it's so funny that you think you have a shot."

(Ryan explains the game; Drew and Chip are the players)
Ryan: "...when you want them to move forward, tap the back of the leg... want them to move backward, tap the front of the leg... if you want him to go back to your room, (indicating Chip's groin) just tap him around there. (Beat) With Drew you'll have to search for a bit."

New Choice

(Ryan as the mythical Cyclops named Phil)
Colin: "You've gotta hide the fact that you only have one eye."
Ryan: "You're right!"
Colin: "Why don't you paint another eye beside it?"
Brad: "New choice."
Colin: "Why don't you make the nose even bigger?"
Brad: "New choice."
Colin: "Why..."
(Ryan is clearly trying not to laugh for a while while Colin realize he accidentaly say something he shouldn't say)
Ryan: "Are we really going to start?! 'Cos I will..."

Colin: (Saying repeatedly) No. No. No. No. No.

(Chip is a cowboy introducing Drew to the range)
Chip: "The first thing you gotta learn about being me is, you gotta be tough as nails."
Ryan: "New choice."
Chip: "The first thing you need to learn about being me is, you gotta be... a little hard of hearing."
Ryan: "New choice."
Chip: "Whut?"

Ryan: "New choice."

Chip: "Oh..."

Drew: "Yeah, remember video stores?..."
Jeff: "'Horror'..."

Colin: "What I need from you first, is a location where two friends could meet...
(listens)
Colin: "A toilet. What friends do you hang out with, sir?"

(another pause)

Colin: "A hospital. A hospital..."

(sketch starts)

Brad: "The toilet's broken... normally I don't like to just go here in the hallway... My meds make it so that I gotta go pretty much anywhere I can. You don't mind just turning around...?"

Greg: "I'll just set up a curtain..."

Colin: "Freeze. A style of movie (listens) Film Noir."

Greg: (sounding like Columbo) "He thought I couldn't see him on the other side of the curtain. Not only could I see him, I could smell what he was up to... and he was up to no good."

Not no. 1, I'm talkin' no. 2/That's what I gotta dinky-doo!"

Greg: "I will not look/While you do your thing/I will turn around and be considerate

I'll have you know that I/I like to sing/But because I'm from Jersey I'm partially illiterate!"

Brad: "Well that's okay/Don't believe the hype/Please pass me that roll, because it's time for me to wipe

Colin: "FREEZE. Freeze..."

Storytelling

Jeff: "Princess Dumbeloney awoke, her long hair flowing across her pillow. She was looking for love-"
Colin: "And something to attach her hair to her head. She looked out the window and saw nothing-"
Greg: "Except a man, riding far far away on a gallant white steed. He was wearing-"
Chip: "Chaps. And a big ten-gallon hat. This was the man of her dreams."
Drew: "His name was Manuel. Manuel was a rancher from Argentina."
Charlie: "...CharlieSheen f---ed a dead hooker."

(Long pause as everyone loses it)

Colin: "...and what I mean by that... in this strange far-off land that Manuel had just come from, to revive the people that weaved by hooking, he would help them along by having sex-"

Jeff: "With them. All the children of the land were given by-"

Chip: "Their parents, to one certain kingdom, where they would all know that Dumbel-"

Greg: "Loooneeeyyy was their queen. And so he rode manthelly(sic)-"

Colin: "Towards the castle walls."

Charlie: "...Charlie Sheen still f---ed a dead hooker."

Drew: "He knew this because he met it on TMZ."

Jeff: "Now when I say 'f---ed this dead hooker' I mean f---ed her."

Chip: "Soooo..."

Greg: "The best thing about dead hookers is, you don't have to pay afterwards."

Colin: "And... you should always get your parking tickets validated. Suddenly, as Princess Dumbeloney was looking out the window, Prince Manuel-"

Jeff: "Jumped off his horse, saw her gazing at the woodland and said-"

Charlie: "Can I get a prenup, you bitch?"

Chip/Jonathan: Books are for people that read. We'll tell you everything you want to know!
Heather/Drew: Okay, then who is Mr. Premier of France?
Chip/Jonathan: Hmm, good question. Mr. Premier of France is Jerry Lewis.
Heather/Drew: Jerry Lewis is the premier of France?
