Welcome!

Good evening everybody and welcome to /r/ScenesFromAHat, the subreddit where everything's made up and the points don't matter. That's right, the points are like what the second man on the moon said.

This subreddit brings the game Scenes From a Hat from the improv comedy show Whose Line is it Anyway? to Reddit for everyone to let out their inner comedian!

Prompts

The title of your post is the prompt. The key to a good, successful prompt is a topic that's original, open-ended, and does not involve pop culture, current events, or a very specific situation.

To keep the content fresh and welcoming, reposts, spinoffs, and prompts that are too obscure or overly specific, will be removed.

How to respond

Act out your response as if it were a scene. It doesn't have to be as long as a movie script; one or two sentences will usually be enough. If the prompt is "Bad Christmas gifts", act out a short scene of someone finding coal in their stocking, but don't just respond with Coal. Use italics to show actions, if necessary.

Quotation marks are not necessary for a proper, acted-out response, and will not suddenly correct an improper response.

Responses to your own prompts go in the comments, not the text box.

Multiple responses to one prompt go in their own separate comments.

Top-level comments not meant to play the game should begin with a [Meta] tag. The tag is not required in child comments or on non-prompt posts. It may not be used to avoid acting out a scene.

Notice

The mods reserve the right to remove any posts or comments that they deem detrimental to /r/ScenesFromAHat, Whose Line?, or any of our users, even if they do not break any subreddit or site rules. As always, you may appeal such removals by messaging the mods, but they will have the final say. In these (hopefully very few) cases, "But it doesn't break any rules!" will not be a valid appeal.
