Okay, it's nearly 2:30 in the morning, and I'm just getting back from a Colin & Brad show, so I feel the need to make the requisite post before I don't care enough to do so anymore.
I always found it interesting how people come back from their shows and immediately feel the need to slash them. I'd seen 2 Colin & Brad shows before, however, Greg was also at both of those, so the dynamic was slightly different. Because, you see, now I understand. Not that I plan on doing anything about it. I don't like that couple, but still, I so get it.
My God, Brad takes every opportunity he can get to flirt with Colin. Seriously. It's so much fun to watch. And they're constantly baiting each other. And they have such adorable banter between games. And Brad really does a good job of making Colin laugh. God, I love Colin's laugh. It's so frickin' adorable. And he really gives Brad the cutest looks. ^_^ I do so love Colin.
Anyway, comments on the actual games. Most of them I'd seen too many times to count, but they did a few new things that all worked really well.
First, instead of pulling an audience member up and singing to her, they instead picked someone and just interviewed her. That's all. But while one of the guys was interviewing, the other would "translate" for the hearing impaired. It was so funny. ^_^ And then, after a bit, they'd switch places.
When they did Sentences this time, instead of collecting all the slips of paper and putting them in a basket, they actually went out into the audience and did the scene in the aisles, picking the papers from people they came across. I was pretty close to the front, so that was cool for me, even if I did spend a lot of that game staring at Brad's back. There were some good sentences, though. Early on, Brad got "Kiss me, you fool!" so he spent a good five minutes proclaiming his love for Colin and dislike of the fact that his wife had come with them on their flower collecting expedition. He also got the line "I eat my feelings" a bit before that. That just worked far too well. ^_^ He spent the remainder of the game going back to that from time to time, miming eating various emotions, usually in a way that, once again, proclaimed his love of Colin.
And they did something else they called The Torture Game. This I really, really liked. What they did was use one scene to play five different games. Like Styles, they'd freeze the scene after a while and switch into something new. The five games they used were Questions Only, One Syllable Word, If You Know What I Mean, Change Letter, and Dr Seuss. The scene ended up being about Colin wanting to leave his and Brad's Karate Furniture business, and Colin commented afterward that it was emotionally draining. And I have no idea if he was kidding or not because, as hillarious as it was, the scene was actually pretty serious. But yeah, that was probably my favorite game of the night. Brad is far better at One Syllable Word than Colin, and kept stopping him as he was stumbling through sentences, which, I think, Colin was actually grateful for. Colin was surprisingly not bad at If You Know What I Mean, but considering the topic (furniture, aka lots of mention of wood and nails and screws) I'm not surprised. Change Letter, which they actually called something else long and complicated, was probably the best, though. They had to replace S with L, and half the time you had no idea what they were saying. A few times they'd stare at each other for a while, trying to work it out in their heads, and once, Colin, after staring at Brad for a while just gave up and said, "What?"
So, yeah. Awesome night. There was Moving Bodies, of course, in which they were both poked and twisted ruthlessly, Interrogation, Sound Effects, New Choice and Mousetrap, of course, but the ones I went into detail about were the most interesting. Interrogation is one of my favorite games, actually, but it's usually very similar, not that that's a bad thing. I mean, they spend most of the game giving each other cute looks, so what can be bad about that? ^_^ Actually, I think they're getting far too good at that. Colin guessed a few things so quickly that it was just amazing. I remember the first time I saw that game, they had to go over things so often that I couldn't get the crime out of my head for days, but tonight they just blew through it.
AND! Lyndsey was there, so that was a wonderful bonus. ^_^ And we got to meet each others' sisters.
