This is probably one of the top 5 most best, memorable moments in the UK version of Whose Line. This was and still is to this day a classic!! Timeless humor! --THE SPONGE MAN! Here is now!!-- lmao ^_^

And I remember watching this when it came out. >_<

@hitohane Just the way Tony says 'enormous sponge' is hilarious.

The thing is - even this clip is from 1989 and still a fairly original concept - the American version practically imported wholesale a finished and polished programme. I have argued on another clip that the British version in 1994/95 contains the best of both worlds - both British and American audiences satisfied. Anyway I uploaded these so I am right, so there. Stop arguing now. Here endeth the lesson.

... you were doing so well, until you said "I uploaded these so I am right".

[rashhuman]

It's called 'tongue-in-cheek.'

Just trying to stop the pointless bickering in the comments section of my video.

Besides I want people commenting how great it is, and how great I am for uploading it, not arguing ha ha.

(that last bit was tongue-in-cheek too, in case you missed it)

Does anyone know if the British version was the original, and from what year this is from?

Thanks from Denmark;-)

[rashhuman]

Yes it was the original - this is from 1989.

God I so wish I was married to Josie! I love her, but anyway. I like the British a bit better, host-wise, because Drew, sometimes, made it about himself and seemed a little like he is boastful, while Clive sat back and allowed the players do their work. Plus, sometimes screwed up games like World's Worst, where he'd say lame crap. However, the British is a bit serious and less laid back than American which is a plus for the latter. However, I like Whose Line... either way.

Richard Vranch did wonders when Tony entered lol

[jessicatheginger]

Ohhh! I wish they played this in the American version.

This was an especially epic sketch!

[Meemzeesh]

I would drink Tony Slattery's bath water.

What is the woman's name - I've seen her on something else

[suki3275]

for an improvisation, that was damn impressive

[Andrewluver96]

Tony I love you

[SharinganMan]

I don't know, man... Maybe it's my backwards American tastes

[Hanaakarii]

Wow, this is awesome :D He's the SPONGE MAN~!!

[FinalFantasyZack]

Tony completely saved this haha. wish he continued on into the US version :(

[C0smicMonkey]

Why was this not in the American Version? This was brilliant.
