Top That

The players form 2 queues leading to the performance area.
The players at the front of each queue step up to the performance area.
Player1 mimes an action and describes what he is doing then says 'Top that!'.
Player2 copies Player1's action and provides an alternative interpretation of the mime then says 'Top that!'.
Both players continue to repeat the action and take it in turns to provide alternative interpretations until one player pauses, repeats an interpretation, announces an interpretation that doesn't match the action.
The first player to fail one of the conditions above leaves the performance area, joins the back of the queue they came from and is replaced by the player at the front of the queue.
The 'winner' of the last round usually provides the mime and first interpretation for the new round, although this is not a law.

Example:
P1: *mimes throwing a dart* I'm throwing a dart. Top that!
P2: *copying P1's throwing a dart mime* I'm yanking my eye out of it's socket. Top that!
P1: *still mimeing throwing a dart* I'm ... fuck knows *leaves stage*

... and so on.


Peace,
