Time for another good ol’ LEG(Laugh-Eliciting Game) of the week. This one’s a little odd, but we’ve gotten some fun times out of it. The concept is simple, execution is not. The game is called “Non-Rhyming.” The gist of it: take a well-known song lyric or poem(one that you’re sick of for more satisfaction), and keep the meaning of the line without the rhyme. Elsington & Smithers will show us how it’s done:
Elsington:(Viva la Vida) I used to rule the world, seas would rise when I tell them to, Now in the morning I sleep alone, sweep the streets I used to walk down.
Smithers: (You Found Me) Lost and insecure, You found me, You found me, lying on the ground…
Elsington: Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high, there’s a land that i’ve heard of, once in a dream…
I find that the best ones are abrupt, matter of fact, and break the timing of the song. Trust me, it’s all in the delivery. When you come to the non-rhyme, raise your voice and say it as awkwardly as possible. The possibilities are truly endless. That’s all for now. Let me know of any great LEGs of your own, or a good moment spawned by a LEG.
