LOL: Last One Laughing Ireland

I love the comedians. They are all so funny and they all actually participate. However Graham Norton is way too strict as the judge on the smiling rule; if someone is smiling due to their own fun and not laughing at all, then it shouldn't count! It's Last One Laughing not Last One Smiling. Someone was smiling to themselves while playing with something, another smiled as part of a bit, I think someone smiled politely when meeting someone, etc. They were not laughing in any of those scenereos. Change up the judge, or whoever is actually judging, and I think you'd have another 10/10 comedy show. Love to see more LOLs regardless.

I watched the UK version of this first and really enjoyed it, so figured I'd expand my viewing to at least the other English-speaking versions.

Well, a bit of a mistake as I didn't find it very funny. One major issue as pointed out by another reviewer is that this show is called Last One LAUGHING, not last one smiling.

That is such an epic fail on the part of the producers. It takes a lot more to make someone laugh than smile. The UK version pushed the participants to the breaking point and near mental breakdown before they were eliminated, which made for great viewing. Here, the Irish are knocked out for the smallest smile which is an idiotic choice and just not funny.

Dire, truly embarrassingly awful. Can't blame the format it's the comedians. If these are the best comedians Ireland can come up with and this is their best material then I despair! I know there are better Irish comedians than this. Savage thought putting food in his pockets and eating from them was the height of hilarity. Another female comedian who's material seems to be based solely on the fact she's a lesbian kept having to tell us she was as her material was so poor. Another clown had a puppet speaking in a french accent with jokes so poor a six year old wouldn't laugh and then Jason who put on a big nose mask for laughs! God help us.

I've watched the whole world versions of LOL. This is by far the best. Canada is good too. And wow! What names they got. Deirdre O'Kane, Aisling Bea, Chris de Burgh, amongst other great Irish names. How the Irish are able to keep a straight face for so long is some achievement. I couldn't stop laughing throughout the whole thing. Except for Jason Byrne and David McSavage, the casting was great and Graham Norton was a great choice for hosting it.

Ireland is full of amazing comedians, so I think the choice could've been a bit better, but still, for me, it is the best LOL in the world. Hopefully we get to see more from Ireland.

Never heard of this franchise before but saw on amazon and loved it. Yes I appreciate it won't be for everyone, I also appreciate it may be harder as some of the comedians are unknown to the other side of the water.

I'm a huge Jason Byrne fan and that's what made me try it. The first episode is slow (let's say) as its a new format and getting used to the game. But I would not have lasted 5 minutes in that house with all the one liners and slapstick humour!

It feels like a lengthened 'Taskmaster' task. If you like Jason Byrne or Vic and Bob style humour, you'll probably like it. If you need full material and canned laughter you might not! Give it a go though!

I really hope they do an English/Scottish one now!!
