The Improv game I am most proud of creating.
How To Play
One player takes a step forward as the ‘active player’. The remaining players line up behind, and the host calls a word — say, ‘Sausages’.
The remaining players go up to the active player and try make him or her laugh by asking questions; to which the active player can only reply ‘Sausages’. If they succeed, they replace the active player.
Repeat.
How It Works
I have no idea.
Technically, it’s a punchline game — every other player is writing a joke with the same punchline. What actually happens is a ridiculous assortment of different joke formats — puns, mondegreens, spoonerisms, bilingual puns, and so on.
My favourite recaps:
The word is ‘Vending Machine’: If the father is called a ‘Vending Pa-chine’, what is the mother called?
The word is ‘Tuba’: In the song ‘Baa Baa Black Sheep’, how many Baas does it take before you reach ‘Black Sheep’?
Any word: What kind of porn do you enjoy watching?
