Last Comic Standing

[Andy]

this years crop should be called Worst Comic Standing.

Thank you!  I'll be here all week.

A couple years ago (when they brought it back) the auditions weren't bad but the rest was pretty hard to watch. Last summer I couldn't get through two episodes.

Maybe the most infuriating show in the history of television. It places such an emphasis on the immediacy of comedy. In their world, S & W would be the unfunniest duo in history.

I literally stopped watching when Doug Benson left last year.

It's a great premise; I'd like to see them draw some actual comics.

[Trembling Eagle]

they kinda gave up on finding undiscovereds huh?

[Andy]

I don't know that they were ever really going for undiscovereds.

That first season was great, what with Ralphie May going head to head with Dat Phan in the finals.


God I hate this show, especially for (maybe?) jumpstarting Ant's career.

Last night was really irritating to watch, so I'm pretty sure I'm done.

Two seasons ago was watchable. The auditions had some variety but of course they didn't pick them. But, I watched every episode that summer. But, last year I couldn't make it through two episodes.

I literally stopped watching when Doug Benson left last year.

Same here. I theoretically wanted to follow what happened after that, but I found I couldn't stand to watch an episode in any way besides fast forwarding through the entire thing.

[Andy]

holy shit, there is no one good left.

also, who out there thinks that The Girls Next Door should be the ones to give the free pass in to the finals based on who tells them the funniest bedtime story?  Seriously?

this show is shit.

AST is nailing it:
I've never seen a final 10 on LCS so pathetically awful.

At this point, the house is divided into three segments; People I actively hate (Marcus, Adam Hunter, Schlesinger, Ron G), People I feel sorry for because they've got 2 minutes of material and are going to embarrass themselves (Papa CJ, Dye, Foot) and finally People who are probably better than this, but still come across as mediocre (Cullen, Ramey, Tavare).

My favorite part of last night's episode was when all the comics were sitting back stage talking about what a one trick pony Esther Ku was, and Papa CJ is NODDING IN AGREEMENT. That's the kind of irony you just can't buy, not even from customer service in India.
