After a long run filled with laughter and long, uncomfortable silences, The Wiseguys improv troupe is calling it quits. Sort of.
In addition to their twice-monthly shows members of this comic collective were also frequent contributors to Fly on the Wall for a couple of very funny seasons. This semi-retirement seemed like as good a time as any to roll out some of my favorite contributions. 
When the state of Tennessee rolled out a poorly designed anti-DUI campaign all about how booze tricks dudes into having sex with unattractive women, The Wiseguys, and Fly on the Wall rolled out our own poorly designed campaign.
Once upon a time U.S. Rep Steve Cohen of Memphis suggested that White House security issues might be improved by digging a moat. He later claimed that he didn’t mean a moat exactly, but some moat-like water barrier inhibiting access to the White Castle. It could be beautiful, he said. The Wiseguys, who are all crackerjack fake investigative news reporters, in addition to being fine comedians, discovered more of Cohen’s alternative security plans.
The Wiseguys have written about social clubs, public incentives, Elvis, Trader Joe‘s, the weather, Jack Pirtle’s gravy, pick-up lines that really work, the British Royal Family and Big Star fans. During the holidays, they even went caroling.
The Wiseguys Biggest Hits: Goodbye to a Very Funny Tradition
In addition to all the goofy stuff, The Wiseguys also broke huge news stories like the fact that Janis Fullilove is actually made of bees.
So, I guess what I’m saying here is these are some funny, funny folks. And they’re having their last show (before the inevitable reunions) this weekend. If you’ve never seen them before, goodbye is a perfectly good time to say hello.
