EXAMPLE:
My first is in Paul, a sarcastic Brit,
My second is in Greg, who has a biting wit;
My third is in Colin, and in Mochrie as well,
My fourth is in party, it has quirks, I can tell;
My fifth is in Ashdown, who tended the bar,
Now let's stop before this riddle goes too far;
The answer lies in a game that never lags,
And it's made up entirely of visual gags!
(ANSWER: "PROPS")
Got how to play? Good, then on to the riddles!
BY MATT:
1)
My first is in Anderson, though not in Clive,
My second is in Party, and my Quirks always thrive;
My third is in Patterson, and also in Dan,
My fourth is in points, getting as much as I can;
My fifth is in Sweeney, though Jim doesn't show,
My sixth is in Worst, and I'm not that I know;
My seventh is in Interview, and I'm partial to those,
My eighth is in Film, to which I dub my own prose;
My ninth is in Expert, and some say I am,
My tenth is in skydive, on which I sang for Pam;
Now you have the clues to a guy of all games,
You're so good with faces - but what about names?
2)
My first is in Brady, and Wayne has it too,
My second is in Ryan, a favourite of you;
My third is in Mochrie, who sings out of time,
My fourth is in Hoedown, with or without rhyme;
My fifth is in Hat-Trick, to whom we're in debt,
My sixth is in Brucker, who we've only once met;
My seventh is in Michael, and McShane follows suit,
My eighth is in Caroline, whose smile is so cute;
My ninth is in March, so prone to a gaffe,
My tenth is in Meskimen, whose Costner's a laugh;
Put it together and your brain will have clocked,
On a man who once had 500 points docked.
3)
My first is in Job, whether new or old,
My second is in Sessions, and in the aisles we rolled;
My third is in Quirks, though the party's called off,
My fourth is in Christopher, that pleasant Smith toff;
My fifth is in Bremner, imitator supreme,
My sixth is in Ashley, whose bliss was no dream;
My seventh is in Richard, and the instrument he plays,
My eighth's not in Jim, but in Sweeney it stays;
My ninth is in Authors, when we all like a tale,
My tenth is in Gospel, and we all shout Hail!;
My eleventh is in Niall, that nice Ashdown boy,
My twelfth is in Chip, whose songs are a joy;
My thirteenth is in Slattery, can't leave him out,
And the name should emerge and wave proudly about;
But if you need clues, or a gentle kick-start,
We're looking for a lass who was a man's body part.
4)
My first is in Josie, the dame with the song,
My second is in Tony, who gets Quirks oh so wrong;
My third is in McShane, the man who's so big,
My fourth is in Vranch, who does a good Irish jig;
My fifth is in Pauline, serenaded by Brad,
My sixth is in Superhero, an iconic lad;
My seventh is in Credits, which are read at the end,
My eighth is in Esten, who was Yvette's best friend;
My ninth is in Mochrie, so full of life,
My tenth is in Ron, who despised his ex-wife;
And if you need more, I'll politely retort,
My whole is a guy who had no passport.
5)
My first is in Toksvig, who cackles and grins,
My second is in Colin, who so often wins;
My third is in Sessions, whose curls are now straight,
My fourth is in Sherwood, who the girls never hate,
My fifth is in Steen, a diminutive young chap,
My sixth is in Izzard, who wears lots of slap;
My seventh is in Gary, a pseudonym for Stiles,
My eighth is in Hat-Trick, who supply all the smiles,
My ninth is in Secret, and that's how it stays,
As this is a riddle which will stump you for days;
But I have extra guidance, because I'm so nice,
My whole is a word Clive always says twice.
6)
My first is in Paul, with his brusque London tone,
My second is in Stiles, whose dog fetched a bone;
My third is in Proops, bespectacled and smart,
My fourth is in Sherwood, who tugs at the heart;
My fifth is in Authors, please tell at your will,
My sixth is in Bartender, where there's plenty to spill;
My seventh is in Hoedown, in which Colin has died,
My eighth is in Slattery, so vulgar and snide;
Together they make a long-standing game,
And I'm sure you're starting to work out the name;
But if you need guidance, or a fresh shot of scope;
A big chance displays every fresh guaranteed hope,
And don't think that last line makes no apparent sense,
For a clue to my whole lies in the same sentence!
7)
My first is in Sandi, whose family were Dane,
My second is in Brucker, known better as Jane;
My third is in Quirks, which the guests all possess,
My fourth is in Conference, facing members of the Press;
My fifth is in Mark, who managed a bank,
My sixth is in Audience, who Clive tends to thank;
My seventh is in Esten, who croons like a dream,
My eighth is in Paul, not prone to a beam;
My ninth is in Russell, who visited us once,
My tenth is in McShane, with that sweat on his bonce;
My eleventh is in Sutcliffe, who supplied all the light,
My twelfth is in Stiles, a guy of some height;
My thirteenth is in Mochrie, who we can never forget,
And you're struggling with this, I'll wager a bet;
So please be patient, and the hints will emerge,
As Josie's the key to solving this dirge;
She's known for her ditties, sung forceful and proud,
And this was a style shouted out from the crowd;
And if that helps no more, then I'm sure you can shine,
When I say she did this after a huge vat of wine.
8)
My first is in Sherwood, that nice Bradley chap,
My second is in McShane, who talked stamps with a cap;
My third is in Frost, ebullient and tall,
My fourth is in Proops, who had strife in the stall;
Only four letters are what you should seek,
And we're looking for a game with a brim and a peak;
But should that last clue leave your face looking red,
I'll say that this round stands light years a-head!
BY DEAN:

the second is in Wayne, a hell of a guy
the third is in Ryan, who doesn't like to sing
the fourth is in Tony, who's doing his thing
the fifth is in Josie, so sweet and good looking
the sixth is in Niall, hey! this guy is cooking!
the seventh is in my name, your own Kiwi bore
the eighth is in Clive, who's keeping the score
the last is in Brad... hey! I've mentioned him twice
and it all makes a game everyone thinks is nice!
10)
the first is in Brady, but not in Wayne
the second is in Archie... oh no! him again!
the third is in Mike and McShane as well
the fourth is in Sweeney, does that name ring a bell?
the fifth is in Chip, as American as apple pie
the sixth is in Niall, the multi-accented guy
the seventh is in Mochrie, the Canadian clown
the eighth is in Steve, who once took his pants down
the ninth is in Ryan, who brings the show alive
and it all spells out the man who replaced our Clive!
11)
the first is in Lawrence, a good looking dame
the second is in Hahn, of cheating shoes fame
the third is in Carey, the new Whose Line host
the fourth is in McShane, the man with the most
the fifth is in Mochrie, the Canadian king
the sixth is in Bremner, impersonating
the seventh is in Slattery, he of double entendres
the eighth is in Anderson (I cant rhyme with entendres)
the ninth is in Sherwood, who serenaded Niroshi,
the tenth is in Sweeney across the Atlantic Oshey,
and it all adds up to Whose Line's new star,
the one who once sang noises like a car,
the man who dances, sings and makes the gals swoon,
if you can guess my riddle I'll be over the moon!
BY JULIE:
12)
My first isn't in Merton, but it's found in Paul,
My second's in Sandi, some say she's best of all;
My third is in Ryan, who rarely seems lost,
My fourth is in Steve, and also in Frost;
My fifth is in Tony, and I think that's fine,
My sixth is in Quentin, but not Caroline;
My seventh's Mullarkey, he was on once - that's all,
My eighth's not in Denny, but is in Seigal;
My ninth is in Sherwood, and also in Brad,
My tenth is in Patrick, but not Bristow - too bad;
My eleventh's in Proops - Think I'd forget him?
And that is the riddle I wrote on a whim;
Each of these players was known as a host,
Can you find the name of the game played fourth-most?
13)
My first is in Stiles, but isn't in Ryan,
My second's in Quentin, and I am not lyin';
My third is in Proops, but isn't in Greg,
My fourth is in Hoedown, a game for which we beg;
My fifth is in Rory, and Bremner as well,
My sixth is in Mochrie, and I think he's swell;
My seventh's in Michael, and also McShane,
My eighth is in Brady, but missing from Wayne;
My ninth is in Sherwood, you know I'm not through,
My tenth is in Clive, and also in Drew;
My eleventh's in Josie, now it's time to end,
Before this riddle drives you around the bend;
Pick all the right letters - you'll find, I dare say,
A sort-of Name Game for four people to play!
14)
My first is in Debi, and also in Durst,
My second's in Ryan, so good at World's Worst;

My sixth is in Tony, with his memorable Props;

My eighth is in Sweeny, his comedy's keen;
My ninth is in Rory, and Brady as well,
My tenth is in Sherwood, but not Brad, I can tell;
My eleventh is in Merton, but nowhere in Paul,
My twelfth is in Ashdown, and also Niall.
This riddle is done, I hope now you know,
The man who began our beloved improv show!
15)
My first is in Ashley, who's been known to swoon,
My second's in Joanne, who'll spackle the room;

My fifth's in Vanessa, both US and UK,
My sixth is in Tashia, who makes us tapes to play;
My seventh's in Cindy, she cares for the sick,
My eighth is in Lori, she'll put you on a stick;
My ninth is in Dean, he's a dear Kiwi boy,
My tenth is in Jessie, bouncy and full of joy;
Find all the right letters, and you'll see before noon,
A game special to Whosers, that makes all of us swoon!
16)
My first is in game, which the contestants will play,
My second's in Rory, who does impressions each day;
My third is in Wayne, but isn't in Brady,
My fourth is in song, often sung to a lady;
My fifth is in party, often full of quirks,
My sixth is in Vranch, at his music he works;
My seventh's in Colin, his Hoedowns make the heart race,
My eighth is in Sherwood, much more than a pretty face;
My ninth is in Paul, whose smile doesn't exist,
My tenth is in Sandi, her presence is sorely missed;
Those who know me best wonder why it took so long,
To write about the man who lost something in a song!
