[@aspenlifeafter]

paul and tony make a hilarious pairing! they're the only ones that can render each other speechless haha

[@cannedmusic]

I have always loved Paul and wish he, Tony and Josie would do appearances on the new ones.

[@cannedmusic]

@cHews cArefully Yeah, I remember when she made the comment about "101 things you can do with dead cats" (except she used the English alternative, and was told by Drew it was pronounced 'pu-say')

[@cannedmusic]

@cHews cArefully Michael, Tony, Paul, Josie, and John...(providing ANYONE would be able to get a word in) made the show what it is. and I miss them

[@cannedmusic]

@cHews cArefully They used to play the unedited version if you searched YT. They bleeped out dead cats and the word pussy, in reference to cats. Mrs. Slocomb used to ride it rather well.

[@cannedmusic]

@cHews cArefully I miss Mr. Anderson. Granted, he's totally different from Drew, but they are also both totally different from Aisha. She's my favorite. host.

[@dharmaseed]

Clive:"This is just lapsing into personal abuse." Paul:"You shut yer face!" Those two were comedy gold together.

[@evenstar0]

*dies laughing* that was the most delicious, chaotic, hilarious F&TS. Paul Merton and Tony Slattery FTW!!! I'm so so glad to see Paul Merton! wish he was on more.

[@gepardo]

"wow wait, where did the cigarette come from?!" That was hilarious XD

[@PhyllisIsANinja]

Paul is so hilarious XXDD Especially with Tony

[@dharmaseed]

Clive: 'Horror'. Tony: "What a horrible suit!" Paul: "That.....that's good, coming from someone who's dressed up as Doc Holliday!" HAHAHA

[@quizmaster85]

Painindeass1million "You shut your face!"

[@JackLongbridge]

My all time favorite skit from WLIIA - Tony & Paul theater styles.

[@tory888]

Tony, Paul and Josie - the three best Brits on the show! Good to see two of them here.

[@Rhythmetrix]

I think this is the /only/ Foreign Film Dub in either the UK or the US series where nobody uses the gag involving a very /long/ string of gibberish being translated into a very /short/ English sentence. Major props!

[@orientalgreenfinch]

"Excuse me while I just get on my moped." xD

[@renuens]

I really wished that Steen & Sweeney were on WL a lot more, they were absolutely brilliant, both together and along with other improvisers. Steve is also very kind, he has always been so nice to me :)

[@Venya9]

Tony and Paul = Awesomeness I really missed them in the US version, same goes for Josie. - "Can I borrow a cigarette?" - "Sure, take the pack" *starts smoking the whole pack* LOL

[@david10808]

This was the very first episode of Whose Line I ever saw, back when Comedy Central showed this version. "Barbara Cartland, witch and hag, too much makeup, fascist hag" is still probably one of my favorite lines

[@Mitowira]

Paul's rebelliousness makes me laugh until my sides hurt.

[@Caipiranha89]

Hahaha, that Film and Theatre Styles was such a trainwreck :D I love how Paul Merton tends to break character to point out amusing or ridiculous details. Maybe he's overdoing it here, but I think it's still hilarious xD

[@Lubis5]

When I saw Paul Merton on the thumbnail for this video, I knew I had to watch it!

[@DFriendly]

I love Paul and I wish that he would have been on the show more often especially with Tony because they are so funny together.

[@bombshellblonde544]

Okay, I've only just now started watching the UK version, and I've seen four episodes so far. Every time I have seen Tony, he has really put on a magnificent show, and he's always so smartly dressed!!

[@TheGelment]

Paul's breakdown during Film and theater when tony pulled the cig was priceless, the beauty of improv. . . ahh.

[@megeraashley7777]

Back in the early 00’s when Comedy Central used to show the uk version daily I wasn’t really to interested in it. I mean you had Ryan, Colin, & Greg on a regular basis but it wasn’t until this episode that I was sold on this version of the show. Especially Paul & Tony’s F&TS.

[@ardas77]

Tony Slattery and Paul Merton against John Sessions Stephen Fry

[@quizmaster85]

Steve: "It could have been so much bad for him." Clive: "So much BAD for him?" Steve: "That's Andrew Morton for you!" Bingo!

[@pockypurse]

Tony was fantastic at the Authors game. xD

[@Lubis5]

And omg, that was the funniest film and theater styles ever. Paul made everything obvious funny.

[@crebegea]

Steve Steen was quite good in this segment. It's nice to see someone putting craft and just doing the job.

[@BakaKarasu]

I love Tony Slattery, and I miss him so.

[@Singsonggirl]

tony and paul are geniuses. They should've been on the US version too

[@TheMysteryMouse]

I happen to think that Paul's best partnership, or one of them, was in a Season 3 Film and Theatre Styles with Mike McShane. They kept it together brilliantly.

[@WhatsOnNext]

You can have a favorite, but none is "the best"; they all need each other to build a joke off of. Also, they each have their strengths and weaknesses

[@TastyBarrel]

Jim and Steve are great.

[@cannedmusic]

I made the error of googling Barbara Cartland...I shall have nightmares, now.

[@TheTradge]

Funny thing about foreign film dub is there’s absolutely no chance it would be allowed in the show today 😂

[@lyylski]

I laughed at Film and Theatre Style more than I have laughed in any skit in the UK version so far! I actually had tears in my eyes. So good.

[@kcy29581]

That was a good game! The one I remember was Tony Slattery as "The Guy Who Does ITV Continuity Announcements", Josie Lawrence with "Nursery Rhymes", Paul Merton with "Yakashimo Okomo" and Mike McShane with the only real author with "Mark Twain". It was very, very funny!

[@queenrocks77]

Paul and Tony are great together! Tony is always funnier when he plays with other british players. He seems so reserved and amazingly shy when he's with Ryan Colin Greg etc.

[@765claire]

Yea he should have been put with Paul more, they're so funny. He was also great with Mike McShane though. I don't think Ryan and Tony got on with each other.

[@igswonderworld]

As a Turkish citizen, I have to say this was gut-splitting funny!!! - Hamzsily hamzsily hamzsily hamn.. - At my age you're starved of love FANTASTIC!!!!

[@snozzberries621]

ahahahah paul in film and theater styles ahahahahaha

[@teedeeiss]

@bombshellblonde544 - OMG, Tony Slattery is HILARIOUS. What he's wearing here is so way cool. 4:08 am Aug 22 2010

[@ddemonicflame]

Tony is the best.. Tony and Paul in that game was the funniest ever

[@Procrastimaster]

Aww, Steve looks absolutely adorable at 9:08

[@lnfreeman]

I think this is Tony's strongest look from the show

[@Nyx773]

He stole his look from Doc Holliday

[@tdurb0]

Poor Tony Slattery

[@Satori19]

Paul Mertons last episode! :(

[@BlueRaven161]

At least there were some 'Ö's in the Turkish film. I was getting worried they forgot it.

[@teedeeiss]

@galantpd Tony Slattery & STEVE FROST are the best two. What a GREAT team. 4:10 am Aug 22 2010

[@AvatarYoda]

@Singsonggirl Agreed. I like the American version, but it needed more variety in its performers. Tony, Paul, and Josie, and Mike as semi-regulars would have been great.

[@bobbyshaddoe3004]

Classic stuff! I still can't stop laughing.

[@Sir_Hesket_Newmarket]

Everything except the title sequence.

[@Flagfalls]

I know! There were very few episodes with an all-British line-up. What a pity!

[@Mayna00]

@DasNutellamaedchen That's not the first Barbara Cartland joke Tony has done on Whose Line. He really doesn't like her =P The fascist thing confused me too. It's probably because she's Ronald Cartland's sister .. (He's a British Conservative Party politician).

[@fritspas]

that jailor bit was rubbish, i loved it =D

[@tory888]

Paukl delights in destroying plots! XD

[@Stormbringer88]

That was the wackiest "film, theature styles" I've seen in a while!

[@zafjaf]

Rupert the Bear? Oh wow nostalgia

[@ismetkutluk]

Apology accepted :D Great show...

[@rockmyballsplease]

Paul is hilarious but its funny how the co-founder of the longest running improv group can't wrap his head around basic improv conventions.

[@LoneKharnivore]

Paul Merton is a wanker. He was a great improvver when they started WLIIA but then HIGNFY started and the fame went to his head - along with a fair amount of cocaine..

[@lfcizdabest]

Conventions in comedy improvisation are there to be broken if you do it properly. Him and Slattery were excellent at doing this. Of course it means you need other people who build scenes more - there's a reason scenes with Slattery and Merton used to just turn into hilarious chaos.

[@94TahoeDude]

Sorry, no Colin or Ryan, next episode

[@765claire]

🙄

[@ardas77]

whaT A HORRIBLE SUIT

[@Yellow4494]

Thank God Paul's last ep

[@gunsbulletsheroin]

hated paul in theatre styles, guy ruins it completely. hes funny sometimes but sabotaging scenes like that isnt
