Performers: Wayne Brady, Chip Esten, Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles
Comments: This is a very strong episode in which Chip is especially good.
Notable Quote: "Electro-points--I thought that was kind of clever, oh well." - Drew, after his joke fails to be noticed

Let's Make A Date: Chip is the contestant. Wayne is the members of N'sync fighting amongst themselves during a video shoot; Colin is an insult comic reincarnated as a ravenous blood-sucking leech; Ryan is a bride going through her progressively worsening wedding day with her husband Colin.
With some of the weirdest, most convoluted quirks ever, it's not surprising Chip doesn't guess very well, but it's all very funny nevertheless. As always, Ryan and Colin bounce off of each other especially well. Notice Chip trying to get an anti-Drew crack out of Colin.
Duet: Chip and Wayne sing to Anna the sign language interpreter as Rod Stewart and Tina Turner.
Chip is quick to call dibs on Rod Stewart. Neither one gets all that close to the singer they're supposed to be imitating, but they put plenty of energy into the effort.
Scene To Rap: The performers rap to a Dracula scene.
I enjoyed this, but then, I'm a fan of classic horror films. Ryan and Colin both seem to have really improved at rapping since the last time it was played.
Party Quirks: Chip is the host. Wayne is attending a college keg party, from sober to passed out in thirty seconds; Colin is an overly dramatic private investigator finding ridiculous clues to a murder; Ryan is a panicking, trapped bird who keeps mistaking the cameras for open windows.
It's a particularly bizarre and frenetic quirk party. Ryan steals the scene with his always-clever bird impersonation, but Colin is as ridiculous as he needs to be. As for poor Wayne, he spends most of the time passed out on the stage.
Doo-wop: Chip, Ryan and Wayne sing about Cheryl, who died in a tragic knitting accident.
This song works surprisingly well, especially with Ryan using his rarely-heard bass tones. He can't help but be fun to watch while he's singing, particularly in that mode.
Props: Wayne and Chip, Ryan and Drew perform.
Wayne and Chip work several impressions into their act, outdoing Ryan and Drew in a game that should really be retired for a while.
Credits: Wayne, Chip and Colin read as bird catchers trying to catch Ryan, a bird trapped in the studio.
I don't usually comment on the credits, but something about Ryan crawling under the piano is just too funny. It puzzles me somewhat that his mascot is a giraffe, when in fact his bird impressions are his best animal quirk.
