Commit to the Bit (R)

Played this with six friends and we were in tears by round three. The random scene cards force you to improvise fast, and when the curveball cards hit mid-scene it completely derails you in the best way.

The disruption cards are what make this game — just when you've got a solid character going, someone flips one and you have to pivot mid-sentence. We've brought it to two dinner parties now and it consistently gets people who "don't do improv" laughing the hardest.

Played this with my roommates on a rainy Saturday and we didn't stop until someone was crying laughing. The scene cards set things up nicely, then the disruption cards force you to stay in character while everything falls apart.
