One of the funniest and most unforgettable moments in television history comes from an episode of 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' featuring the legendary Richard Simmons. This episode, often hailed as one of the best, showcases Simmons' infectious energy and humor, leaving both the cast and audience in stitches.

The skit begins with the line, "You know what, why don't we, uh, jet-ski?" followed by Richard Simmons enthusiastically replying, "I'd love to." What ensues is a whirlwind of laughter, with Simmons' over-the-top antics breaking the composure of the cast members, including Drew Carey, Wayne Brady, and Colin Mochrie.

One user commented, "That after jet ski cigarette 😂," capturing the essence of the hilarity. Another noted, "Richard Simmons was a good sport." Indeed, Simmons' willingness to dive headfirst into the absurdity of the skit made the moment iconic.

A particularly memorable reaction was, "Simmons broke Drew and I can't tell whose laugh is whose but I think he broke Wayne too." This sentiment was echoed by many viewers who delighted in watching the usually composed cast lose their composure. "Love it when Drew loses his s***," one user remarked, highlighting just how infectious the laughter was.

The audience's reaction was equally enthusiastic. "I love how every single audience member in the shot is absolutely losing their s***," one comment noted. The collective joy was palpable, making the episode a standout in the show's history.

Colin Mochrie's quick wit added another layer of humor. "Colin pretending to smoke after that is just the chef’s kiss," one viewer noted, appreciating the subtle yet humorous touch. Another shared, "During this s*** they also get toast. Colin has Wayne as his prop. Wayne pops up, Colin goes 'aww', (wait, I can't do that. That's racist) 'just how I like it'. Wayne is barely able to stay standing and quiet."

The episode's impact was profound, with one user stating, "This whole episode was a continuous stream of peak humorous jokes." The skit even outshone another famous episode, as one comment mentioned, "That episode was funnier than the one they had with Robin Williams."

The legacy of this episode is undeniable. "My girl was sobbing over this. I’ve never heard him say a discouraging thing about anything. We need more people like that in the world," one viewer reflected, highlighting Richard Simmons' positive influence.

For those who haven't seen it yet, the full skit is available on YouTube, as shared by a user: "The whole thing... thanks @op for sharing this! https://youtu.be/b-r4Flc_d2M?si=v8Ps0JPzARE4gquS."

During this s*** they also get toast. Colin has Wayne as his prop. Wayne pops up, Colin goes " aww", (wait, I can't do that. That's racist) " just how I like it". Wayne is barely able to stay standing and quiet.
