Improv Comedy Techniques: Gibberish

Video Transcript

"LES MCGEHEE: Similarly, we're going to try another one now. We're going to have a conversation in gibberish. Now, even tough one of us just going to start with some gibberish, the other person is going to listen carefully and grab pieces of that gibberish, and reuse them to see if we can end up with stuff that sounds like a language. Let's give this a try, it's just gibberish. You got something you want to start with? JOE PARSONS: [SOUNDS LIKE] Bli lakatuma yoma somalaga. LES MCGEHEE: [SOUNDS LIKE] Yoma somalaga tumba, timba gabumba. JOE PARSONS: [SOUNDS LIKE] Bli laga sabaluda. LES MCGEHEE: [SOUNDS LIKE] Sabaluda? JOE PARSONS: [SOUNDS LIKE] Sabaluda. LES MCGEHEE: [SOUNDS LIKE] Sabaluda ting tangga tumba. Tumba tangga usalabumba. JOE PARSONS: [SOUNDS LIKE] Tumba ting chichabala gaoga. LES MCGEHEE: [SOUNDS LIKE] Chaba chabalagaba. We're not saying anything, but we're sure enjoying each other's language. And by listening carefully, hopefully, you've got an example of how that sounds like a language."
