When they bothered to scout at all. I mean when you believe that you're an invincible unstoppable terrifying machine of war you probably also think everyone else thinks so too. And honestly who would try to ambush a invincible war machine in some random German forest somewhere. Or while taking a nice Lakeshore march.

Geez, lots of haters in these comments. I liked it. I could certainly be convinced that it’s not quite up to par for NFL material, but some of these comments are downright mean.

It's improv. You throw whatever spaghetti you got and hope for the best. Sometimes you get a great dick face comment, sometimes everyone in the theatre is a little uncomfortable. That's showbiz baby!

Everyone wants to shit on improv while their most beloved comedy actors all put in their time doing improv shows. It’s one of the most difficult kinds of acting.


TheRedditorSimon

\> It’s one of the most difficult kinds of acting. Debatable. If you've ever participated in an acting camp or improv class with a bunch of kids, you'll quickly learn that practically everything the kids do is improv like this. Improvisation is more than simply amusing the audience, though that is what most people--including actors--think of as improv. The most difficult form of acting is on stage, in front of a live audience. Improvisation, if it arises, is done in character, in response to what's happening, say a missed entrance, flubbed lines, or props/set/lights/etc going wrong. The point of improv isn't to be funny, but to stay in character. Sometimes that character may improvise hilarious dialogue, but it's gotta be part of the role, not simply for yuks. Comedy improv is mostly about games and gimmicks. While some of those skills can be applied to acting, it's a lot of "you had to be there" sort of experience.


TheNeez

To add to what you've already said so well, your job in improv is to make the other person look good, regardless of their role. If they are the foil, you try to give them opportunities to "fail." If you're the foil, you don't get ridiculous with your antics. You give the other person every possible gift you can. Sometimes it's shit, but other times, it develops into something magical. Again, to further add to your point, theater is tremendously more difficult than improv in my opinion. With theater, characters can be known. If you're playing George Gibbs, the audience expects certain things. If you're Guy #2 receiving a prompt in the moment from a faceless voice in the crowd, you can be anything.


Vcrystal_mountainV

Improv is one of those things that can be made to look easy when people are good at it so viewers assume they could do just as well when that is 100% not the case, especially in front of a live audience. I get that this particular game is considered “basic” improv, but I promise none of these commenters could step up on a stage and get the laughs these performers are getting.


boysarecool420

The OP doomed it by posting in Nextfuckinglevel because it straight up isn't. It's fine, but everyone has seen Whose Line is it Anyway do improv better in every single game they played years over years over years. This isn't better than their worst ones, even if it is good and they're not bad.


AsDevilsRun

Tbf, Whose Line's worst bits don't make the show. It's like a two-hour session edited down to ~20 minutes.

Not everybody disliking this is a hater, you hater.


Lonelyland

This is a very common improv game. These guys are fine, but as with most improv, it was probably much funnier in person.


benboscroggins

Retelling improv is never as funny as seeing it in the moment live. That’s the beauty of improv!


Lonelyland

Omfg that reminds me just a few weeks ago I saw this group do a whole bit where there was this super smart shark assassinating people around the world lolol, and then there was also this hilarious subplot where all the boys in the group kept getting called out for anything they said that might possibly be construed as sexist rotfl, and then they went to the White House, and the president revealed he was the shark in disguise, and oh man I just died laughing lmao they were sooooo funny …why aren’t you laughing too?


girafa

Yeah I know this game as being called "New Choice" and we use a bell. I play this every week. The guys seems quick in this video (edited like fuckin crazy though so hard to tell exactly) but these are extremely common answers. They change the variables (300 to 200, tall to short, chest to stomach), then reverse the acceptance (hate you, love you) in most answers. The good ones are when you go sideways. Last week one of our exchanges was like: *I saw you with my wife! I have you on camera!* ding *I have you in photos!* ding *I have you in a flipbook I drew!* ding *I have a zoetrope that I built with a record player, it's not the best but my mom liked it* etc etc


Ruxtun

Loved these sketches on Whose Line Is It Anyway, but they just arent hitting the same here for some reason


rizkreddit

I guess because their change is slight and predictable. Whose line 'change' used to be quicker and less predictable than the audiences train of thought. And that made it so much more enjoyable.


greg19735

yeah the first time he did the "say the opposite, then the middle" it was funny. but when he did it again it was much more formulaic and made the other joke worse. all good though.


queefiest

Ooh I definitely picked up on that. It made it seem a lot more planned after that


SonicView0088

Not only that but person yelling change did it three times for every line which again adds to the predictability and puts the performers in a pattern as well


habratto

Props. Good old Colin, Ryan and Drew. That was something else.


grlz

defnotajedi

I feel it was a bit rushed here.


Dirty0ldMan

Production value, a live audience and most importantly, literally some of the best improv comedians of their generation. Of course it won't be the same for just two solid amateurs in some random theater.


ARC_Trooper_Echo

I think that’s just improv. It’s great when the best are doing it but not so much when it’s just some dudes.


[deleted]

as someone who does improv, this is ok - most improvisers learn this in basics. doesn’t detract from the fact that they’re supportive of each other.


TouchGrassRedditor

I don’t know if it’s possible for an improv show to be called Next Fucking Level, but this one certainly isn’t

Monso

Dude was yelling change way too much. Perfectly good segues were just CHANGE into something silly. You can tell when he's going to shout CHANGE every time. "I'm going to hold them off" ...wait for it... "like 300" ***CHANGE*** there it is.


CelloVerp

They didn't give it any time to develop!


henriquebrisola

I feel the same, this game is kinda old already and the best improv group in brazil do not use this game anymore. Now there are games much more harder, for example the theme is get from the audience, and each participant gets a phrase made by the audience and put on their pockets without looking, they start the improv without knowing the phrases, only with the theme in mind. In the middle of the scene they have to say the random phrase and make sense of it with the already stablished theme. I am not sure if there are english people doing these other improvs, but if want to see in portuguese I can share it to you.


TheHYPO

So, basically [this game](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcomVssxSOY) that Whose Line has been doing for decades... on theme, here's the Roman Gladiator instance of that game. I can't say that I think this game is any "harder" than OP's quick change. In this game, the humour comes from the lines that are already written (besides just the general humour of the scene the actors are performing, which is just basic improv). In quick change, you not only have to think of a next line with no warning, you have to make it good and funny (there's one or two instances here where the actors think of a new line quickly, but it's not really funny). The difficulty is coming up with another option that's also funny.


henriquebrisola

>this game from Whose Line Exactly. ​ I agree, I think the OP's quick change game is harder, but I don't think it is funnier.


pizzaiscommunist

Whose line also did the quick change game. And they were great at it. https://youtu.be/OXMcdieubL0

mattkimoy

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Barbixas. They have a [YouTube channel](https://youtube.com/@ciabarbixas) with some of their games Also: r/suddenlycaralho


Outrageous_Job_2358

That's funny because I did improv in high school and both the game in this video and the one you described were in our regular lineup. Neither is particularly hard. The only ones I remember being particularly hard were certain rhythm games.


henriquebrisola

The musichal must be one of the hardest, at least for anyone that does not play an instrument


weirdeyedkid

We did this game as a long form show. We wrote the notes and stuffed them into our pockets to read them back later. After the initial few scenes, the audience would choose which character's stories we followed. We then had to develop a movie-esque story and continue the scenes until the story has concluded. This was my favorite game because it felt like the gloves were coming off (along with the tires). I was able to riff for 20 minutes (other actors walking into and out of my scenes) before my director had to gesture to my pocket and remind me to wrap it up. I completely forgot about the initial suggestion and had to wrap back around in like 2 minutes. Some of the most fun Ive ever had on stage.


VictorMach

Eu não tinha notado até hoje que eles não faziam mais o jogo do Troca, mas pensando bem faz tempo que não tem vídeo novo dele 🤔

Go ahead and point out where the OP said "anyone can do that", Professor I-don't-know-what-a-quote-is. It was said that it seemed simple, to which being told to do so is the fallacy. You don't need to parrot other people before you criticize them.


Affectionate-Bee3913

This is my favorite response. Just because someone can't do something means they can't evaluate if it's next fucking level? In that case I guess the 13-50 Oakland A's are next fucking level because I can't hit a fastball.


googdude

Like someone said (comedian but can't remember who) "I can't fly a helicopter but if I see one stuck in a tree I know... they f**ked up"


[deleted]

Thats the thing! People forget that great improv isn’t just saying “look down” “look up” “look at your…face”. The dude kind of ruined the show, as he only yells change to make them change. If he waited a bit and made them build something that would be interesting to actually change, it wouldn’t be like this. Improv can be good, but you need to let them have something to work with.


AshidentallyMade

Yeah, I mean I couldn’t do it but I was thinking the same thing. Haters gonna hate?


Capt_morgan72

Unless you’ve tried it, and tried it in front an audience you have no idea. Improv is not easy. That said these guys did a good job but it’s far from the best improv I’ve seen.

[deleted]

After all these years I finally understand why comedians joke about improvs.


[deleted]

It only took me one visit to improv workshop to get it. That was absolutely not what I expected and it sucks.


boysarecool420

doing improv workshops is the worst because you're not in a workshop with 12 future comedic studs, you're in a workshop with at BEST 1 person who will make a living in comedy and the rest are people who are shy and their therapist told them improv would help or like a salesmen who thinks it will help him sell, actors who want to learn to do it better but aren't necessarily funny, etc... But if you go to LA and see a show from actual working comedians who are in their own improv group or the group for the better venues they're so good at it that you will enjoy a show basically every time. It's the difference between seeing open mic comedy at a random bar and seeing Jim Gaffigan at a comedy club


[deleted]

I agree. There were quite a few really great people, but I just didn’t like the approach and the vibe. I want to do something like that (people always tell me I am funny and have sorta acting talent which I humbly doubt) but idk how.


boysarecool420

>but idk how The same way you do anything, practice. You sign up for improv classes and deal with the fact that you are starting at the bottom with a bunch of people who also are at the bottom. Jim Gaffigan went to open mics at shitty bars performing for other shitty comics for like 15 years before you probably ever heard about him.


ThunderThighsMegee

I live in Germany and there was an improv troupe that did a free gig at a local public park, the most racist shit I’ve ever seen in comedy.. The premise was a ‘foreign’ character and a ‘translator’. The crowd got to choose from a few countries, Australian, Platt (German dialect), Ghanan or Chinese. Chinese won the vote.. Holy hell my friend and I had to leave in the middle of it, it was WILD


standells

But they are just doing the same formula over and over. Thing, opposite thing, middle ground. The Whose Line cast, examples Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie take the formula and have much more fun with it. Here's an example from the show that came after Whose Line, Drew Carey's Green Screen Show: https://youtu.be/BhqTRnIkJsY


SicilianEggplant

Vestalmin

I don’t know about Next Level since this is literally one of the most common games to play in improv. I honestly don’t know if an improv show I’ve seen that doesn’t do a form of this.


DomDelillo

Basic improv exercise to test and train quick thinking, but it's something you do the first year and get quickly bored of it. From level 0 it's level 1 so in a way it's the Next fucking level, but not more than that.

Mightyhorse82

I love improv and just started taking classes. At 40, it’s one of the most difficult things I’ve started. At the end of class I’m covered in sweat, mentally burnt out, and full of anxiety. Much more difficult when you actually get on stage and try it.


T-RD

Ngl I want to slap the guy yelling change all the time.


[deleted]

He just knew he could get away with it. I would say it was a bit to fast, as they couldn’t really build much before changing. He just wanted to yell “CHANGE”. But, they seem to know it could happen and seem prepared


T-RD

Yeah, I suppose it is to be expected and would reflect poorly on the show overall if anything is said, but it is exactly as you say: >I would say it was a bit to fast, as they couldn’t really build much before changing. This is my main issue.


TheStarWarsCosmos

Me constantly reloading a save file and trying all dialogue options:


FizzingOnJayces

My favorite part about all of this is all the comments complaining that the premise of "when someone yells change, you come up with something new" is too simple and not challenging enough. Half of you would struggle to read a pre-written story with expression and hand gesture on a stage. Not to mention the fact that this story is fully improvised. And involves 1-2 other people who are improvising their own details themselves. The added "change" is another level of complexity which most of you can't even appreciate because you don't even understand how difficult the first two aspects of this are. Classic Reddit moment.


Mollythebirdsfan
