Tournament of Laughs

While there are a few real comedians on this show, it's completely laugh free. Comedy is dead.

I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty terrible. However, in theory it was a good idea and a nice try with the Rona upon us. There are a few funny skits by Michael Rapaport and Tim Dillon. For the rest of the comics the highest honor I can give is that a few were were interesting. Those comics being Preacher Lawson, Fortune Feimster, and Piff the Magic Dragon. Everything else is pretty much a waste of time.

Also I really don't understand what people find funny about Chip Chipperson. Maybe it's an inside joke thing among his fan base.

Overall the show is a good example of why comedians need writers and, when creating a skit, a director and the proper context.

The concept intrigued me, but quickly was able to see the flaws: 1. Jason Sudeikis 2. Jason Sudeikis looks like Donnie tRUMP Jr. 3. Jason Sudeikis is not funny 4. did not find the competitors funny either.

Stand up comedy is a specialized art form, and sketch comedy is a very different beast. I've seen several of SNL's best SUCK at stand up, but they were brilliant at sketch. These stand up comics are swerving way out of their lane. Only Jason Sudekis shines, and, no surprise, he's a great sketch comic.

Is the goal to get as few laughs as possible? If so, they are succeeding. Some of these comedians are very funny when they are doing stand up. These skits are all pretty much horrendous. And Jim Norton just isn't funny ever. When the only skit that is the least bit funny is Triumph skewering Dr. Phil, you know you're in trouble.
