LOL: Last One Laughing Niederlande

This is the perfect example of why humour can't be forced. In the first few episodes I really enjoyed this show, but in the end you could just feel the discomfort of the contestants, which made it really hard to watch.

Nevertheless I enjoyed their creativity and the variation of acts, and the group dynamic was really funny at the beginning. I loved that every contestant was such a big personality and to me they were all funny in their own ways. Shout-out to the hilarious chemistry between Henry and Bas, and to everyone imitating the way Stefano talks.

I would definitely recommend watching this if you want to go from 'HAHAHA' to 'yikes' in a very short period of time.

2 episodes in, and all I am thinking is, my gosh, this is even worse then an old fashioned Dutch style wedding in which the family and friends are doing little cringy acts on stage.

They should have put the challenge of 6 hours not laughing into 1 episode. I have a feeling they will be stretching those six hours over 6 episodes.

But yeah, this show is exactly why I don't watch regular tv anymore, besides news and some documentaries. I found this show on prime and thought it would be different then a tv show, but it isn't. Perhaps it's even worse. It's not even cosy tv. It's the epiphany of uselessness, as it doesn't even entertain. It doesn't make the audience laugh, not even smile, so why would any of the contestants?!

Not even remotely funny. Just like all the 50 other versions worldwide. No build up to a joke, no timing, bald uncle trying to force uncle "comedy" every second and bombing forever, white blade cosplayer singing dumb songs, women being women with vagina "jokes" only. PLUS, the editing adds sound effects like "BOINK" and kids laughter in a hopeless attempt to make that one demented granny in your living room giggle while she plays bingo. LOL is a murder to comedy and even Documental should be ashamed to sell the rights for all those trashy copies.

Watching your family die in front of you has more chances of making you laugh than this and all the other LOL garbage Amazon keeps forcing. Focus on the original japonese show instead of censoring it and milking the worldwide dead cow known as Last One Laughting.

I binged this show in one evening. That said. I had no fun at all watching this and it seems I wasted my time waiting for the fun to start. If this is the best Dutch comedians have to offer.. Don't waste your time watching this show. There are really only a few funny moments which aren't even that funny. The target of the show is to let the other comedians laugh while they actually get banned from the room (after two times) when they do laugh. This makes for an interesting concept, but despite the interesting concept this works out, in the Dutch version at least, as a very trivial, random and not fun at all show.

First a disclaimer: I am Dutch, I know the persons. I know what they can do and how they think. That makes it way more fun, because after this I watched the Australian version and it not funny at all...

I like the concept that you must not laugh. Comedians should not laugh about their own jokes, but I also like the battles when they are one on one and trying to make the other laugh. And I like bloopers a lot, the spontaneous laugh. And word jokes by the way...

So there are no bloopers unfortunality but the battles are there! And there are some very creative actions to try to make the other laugh. I dare say that each comedian is a their best! When I watched most people seperate and for an hour + performing I do not like them much. But here they have short bursts, like Henri, I do not like his solo show. But I lke all his performances in shows, series and everything else on tv. Same goes for other persons.

I like the sketches that they do and I also like that the 'jury' is pushing them and making it harder. And they really see every laugh. I like it. And I have really respect for not laughing, it must be really hard!

I like also that the episodes are really short and you can watch everything in one sit. It should not take longer I think. And I also like they lead the show with 2 persons. I really must laugh out loud when there is something very funny but you cannot laugh... The tention of this is really another dimension. I like it.

So again, I had some great laughs, I still feel my eyes afterwards from crying. I hope they can do another season with this much quality. Taking comedian out of their comfort zone!

And after seeing Australia I am totally convinced the 9 is well deserved! And I want to see a Belgian version by the way.
