Funny and Unforgettable Ad-Libs — Page 6

Last weekend I closed Rocky Horror as the Narrator. During the infidelity monologue, I typically made a side joke about Jada Pinkett, which always got the audience going "ooooh." If they responded well to it, I'd often say "Wow, that one really touched a nerve for you, didn't it? Should I be worried? Is Will Smith in the audience tonight?"

Well, at the second to last performance, the moment I say Will Smith, somebody from the back of the house yells "GET MY WIFE'S NAME OUT YA F***IN' MOUTH!" And just like that, a lanky black man with a crew cut is rushing the stage... but it turns out to be one of our past Franks, who heard me do the bit and decided to add his own response to it. The audience went nuts and I could barely keep it together to finish the scene. I couldn't have planned it better if I tried.

I don't know if either of these were actually ad libs but I'm pretty sure they were and they were very funny

Alex M said: "Now that Spamalot is back, I thought it might be a good time to revive this thread. A lot of different ad-libs happened during the opening preview. Some notable ones were Taran Killam, as the main Night of Ni, saying that they are now the knights who say: *proceeds to do the full ending of the song 'Thriller' with the rest of the knights dancing behind him*. Leslie Kritzer told the audience that Santa wasn't real out of nowhere, which elicited a mixed reaction of laughs and boos. Also, Taran Killam as 'Tim' made a very funny comment that I can't quite remember about how ridiculous the knight whose head got torn off by the killer rabbit looked. It seemed as though Nik Walker was having a hard time getting through the scene because of whatever he had said."

The one ad-lib from that (k)night that had me rolling the most was when the Knight of Ni were satisfied and then Killam says "We're going to Gramercy to trick or treat at Neil Patrick Harris' house. I heard he gives out artisanal chocolate and homemade soap" and the other knights were chanting "Neil Patrick Harris" as they headed offstage
