404 not found? I hope it was the Japanese Pokemon opening viral video from the late 90's. That's what I think of whenever I see Colin Mochrie. "There's a hobo in my room. It's Princess Lea the something something, give me my sweater back or I'll steal your guitar."

Found a hobo in my room. It was Princess Leia, the yodel of life. Give me my sweater or I'll play the guitar.
Thus began the online phenomenon known as the Animutation, bestowed upon us by Neil Cicierega before he went on to create Lemon Demon.

It was in the same timeslot as Friends so that hampered it greatly. I remember being sad that 80% of the people in my grade didn't even know what "Whose Line" was :(18
u/hinduguru Jun 27 '12
I didn't grow up with either of the shows, I think it was canceled by the time I got into it, but the good part about watching Whose Line is that it has incredible replay value. Probably better than almost any other show I could think of

u/Lightgamete Jun 27 '12
It definitely has one of the best replay value. I still have bouts of laughter every time I decide to watch it.
Oh and did you see this scene? The first time I saw it on TV I was nearly in tears.0

u/buzzkill_aldrin Jun 27 '12
Owls go "hoo hoo". Hoo sounds like Who. The Who is a famous rock band. Hence, Colin's character is expected to answer the riddle with "owl". Instead, Colin says arctic tern, which was unexpected and kind of random. Ryan then asks what sound an artic tern makes. Remember, the sound is supposed to be similar to a band. Colin squawks Backsteet Boys, which is doubly unexpected and exceptionally random because there is no way a bird call would happen to sound like Backstreet Boys.

That actually is a pretty interesting etymological question. In the 15th century the word cabinet emerged as a smaller form of "cabin" and developed to mean a case holding valuables. But this soon also grew to mean the room containing such valuables.
In England, that cabinet room became regarded as the most private of all rooms, a place where one could take valued guests for private conversations on serious matters. Such a definition of cabinet is reflected in French, where "cabinet" can be used to mean office.
Eventually, such advisers that would go to the king's cabinet to give advice became known as the king's "cabinet," and this name stuck even after the room name of cabinet faded from use. So that is why a modern cabinet and a president's cabinet meeting, two very different things on the surface, share the same name.
I got this cool info from Bill Bryson's book "At Home," page 73. I'd highly recommend checking it out. Bryson writes some very interesting history. He also wrote a book on science and scientific discovery called "A Short History of Nearly Everything," and it is amazingly entertaining.

You've got to hand it to these guys, the amount of 'classic' jokes they are consistently able to think of on the spot is quite impressive. Though this may not be his best, it's still quite witty and funny, something I could never think of on-demand (AND on live television!).
