Let's face it. During his stint
on "Whose Line is it Anyway?", Tony delivered some PRICELESS lines. Hereare
a few examples:
"I've split my pants!!!!!! Look!!!!!!"
(During a round of "Film Trailer, Tony had the misfortune of splitting
his pants. For the record, he was wearing white underwear!)
"Where's the crew? I don't know.
It's a mystery!" (In a round of Film and Theatre styles, the style of Medieval
Mystery Play was suggested, and this was Tony's interpretation of the genre)
"Don't go on about my size...you
look like 2 aspirins on an ironing board!" (from a game where they fill
in the faces on a painting...The subject was a couple on their honeymoon,
and Caroline Quentin had just commented on the teeny weeny size of "Tony's"
appendage.)
"Yes...let's look under "M" for
Multiple, shall we, Sandi?" (During a round of Film & Theatre, the
style suggested is "Yellow Pages Ad". Tony and Sandi are discussing orgasms.)
"This island is getting to my
sense of linguistics!"
(In a perky voice) "Come on, everyone,
don't get depressed because we're 8000 feet under...(SINGS) "We're in the
long big metal pointy thing...we're going down the river..." (The world's
worst person to captain a submarine)
"Queer...I am...never mind..."
(Alphabet, a chat up with Sandi Toskvig)
"Aaah! Venereal Disease!" (see
above!)
"I haven't been to the bathroom
in 4 months!" (The worst person to be trapped on a desert island with)
"My mustache is bigger than yours!"
(Steve Frost is making "Melodramatic" "Mustache type gestures..." Tony
makes even bigger gestures as he says this line (i guess it was funnier
to watch...)
"No! Jeremy Beadle. Jump! (PBHLT
noise) HA!" (A round of props...Tony was pretending to rescue Jeremy Beadle
from a burning building, then whipped the trampoline thing away)
"Ooh, I'm terribly nervous. I've
never held a come as Michael Jackson party before!" (Grabs crotch and makes
Michael Jackson noises, then turns and stares at Clive) (Party Quirks)
"This Party's crap!" (After guessing
his first guest right away)
"What about the secret microchip
that's in your pocket?" (During helping Hands, trying to get Steve Steen
to put his hands in Jim Sweeney's pockets)
"Let me adjust the horizontal
hold on that shirt!" (making fun of Josie's sweater)
Here's a priceless dialogue between
Tony and Josie!
The game: Emotion Options
The setting : A laundromat.
Josie (looking at Tony's mimed
underpants)- "Oh, that's a funny tan colour"
Tony- That's not the colour
of me underpants...I've just had a bit of an accident."
(Clive tells them to change
the mood to GREEDILY. Tony talks about wanting everything, then says:
Tony - I want my underwear!
I'm going to eat them! (Tony mimes gobbling the underwear. Then Clive buzzes,
and suggests Pity.)
Josie - You're pathetic, aren't
you!
Tony - That's not pity, it's
INSULT!...Pity me, for I've just eaten my underwear in a public place..."
Josie - "Pity pity pity!"
"It's Andrew Lloyd Webber! EW!"

tosses it over Jim Sweeney's head)

the audience go...GOB GOB GOB GOB..." (Film and theatre styles...Pantomine)

person to be prime minister)
"OoooooOOOOOOOOOOh" (very camp
with hands on hips (He does this a lot...))
"I'm not playing anymore" (When
he figured out that Rory Bremner came to the party as Tony in Party Quirks.
He started to sulk something rotten!)
"WELL F**K OFF THEN!!!!"
(To Clive, after a particularly challenging round of Party Quirks)
"Very unusual...that's my tactic!
I'll baffle them!" (Responding to Jim Sweeney's accusation that Tony has
an unusual grasp of the alphabet in Alphabet)

"Alright, I'm not a natural brunette!"
(In props, holding a piece of white fun-fur over his crotch)
"I'm going to murder you, simply
because you're Father Smurf" (To Jim, whose holding the same piece of fun-fur
as if it were a beard) in Props)
"Hello, and welcome to the not
terribly convincing torture chamber...GET DOWN!!!!!" (Whipping Jim with
that piece of fun fur)
"Yes...do you want your entire
family to smell of Haddock? I'm sorry, a bird's dumped on my hear as well...but
back to the product. I feel Haddock gel is...You turn it on...It's new
You comb it into your hair, dirt and dandruff just fly away. Yes, that
Haddock smell lingers. For instance, we took these liquids, one from an
unknown passer by, and the other one from the sea. What's the difference?
One smells of a dirty old man, and the other smells of FISH!!!!!!!!! and
so does this man's hair. And that's (sniffs) MMMMMMMMMMMMM! HADDOCK!!!!!"
(Film dubbing over an old ad)

a while"( Party Quirks, as Colin is running around as All 7 Dwarves)
"What a horrible suit!" (To Paul,
during a round of Film & Theatre styles (horror)
Something else Tony did that was
really funny: He actually won, and had to read the credits in the style
of a drunken Australian soap star. He walked down to the stage, passed
out, and when the credits were almost over, he started to get up but passed
out again.
