As a big fan of the original japanese show "documental" I had often wondered how good it will be with top english speaking comedians who are often seen ebing so quick witted. Today I bit the bullet and binge watching LOL: Ireland. As the title suggests I believe I laughed out loud twice and I unlike the contestant/comedians was not under orders not to laugh.

I have to admit even as an English man I only knew half of the comedians and some of them I genuinely find funny in other shows but my god some of the performances were so embarrising. Now honestly the way these shows work best is usually the human side of people breaking/forgetting themselves and being caught off guard as it's rarely an actually skit or performance that gets them but a random comment but that was also absent.

I will say that this is a great concept but like the original show often falls into desperate choas which ultimately becomes unfunny. We see these comedians errupt into laughter on panels shows with thier fellow comedians and so expect a back and forth with quality punchlines. I can't help but feel like "stand up" is strictly prohibited as it just becomes silly, childish costumes and "jokes" that wouldn't make an actual child laugh, like the original as the show goes on, material becomes weaker and more desperate as it decends into choas of noise, random outbursts and starts to look like what I persume a nut house would look like.

Comedy like art is subjective and so you may like this you may not, but I'm not convinced from multiple hours of vieweing that most the people in thie show are actually comedians.

I only managed about three quarters of the first episode but can confidently say is the least funny thing of any genre I've ever seen. They didn't just resort to doing clown bits, that was their go to. Yes, actual clown bits, like 1950s circus tent mini bike clown bits. It was painful, and not in the fun, cringe-comedy way, just painful cringe.

This show reeks of theatre kids without a funny bone in their body networking their way up the ladder and this mess is the result.

The only relief from the pain was the guy doing puns, they were slightly amusing.

Surely Ireland has better talent out there.

If you have watched any last one laughing you would know that the comedians get desperate very very quickly, which leads to them doing horrible or stupidly simple but funny things. This is what makes the show so funny. A lot of the bits are very funny and there is a lot of Irish humour and references in it. There are more bits done by the show than the other last one laughings which did take away from some bits that comedians were doing but I thought it added an air of "what is happening" to it. If you like any of the comedians (except Mcsavage, who struggles a lot) it's a perfect watch. One of the funnier ones from this type of shows, probably because I'm Irish. Very absurd and silly, some people need to learn how to laugh at stupid things, a lot of the reviews are stuck up comedy snobs who only accept a joke if it has 15 satirical layers. It's low brow mixed with some smart jokes, because the basics are what make comedians laugh. What did you expect to happen when comedians don't get a laugh for 6 hours?

If I was to say what was bad is that some comedians are a bit awkward with them trying too hard or making very desperate jokes and it's a little bit cringy to watch, but it's minor.

Graham is a pretty good host, the production of the show is very high, and I found it very funny. I think most Irish people with a sense of humour would find it funny. Don't watch it if silly, stupid and dirty humour isn't your thing. But if it is, you'll have a blast.

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 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 have not seen the other versions of this show so can't compare but LOL Ireland is nuts and I love it it's silly and fun and doesn't take itself too seriously - I can't explain why it's funny but it works. It is utter madness. It's not the big performance pieces that get you but the one liners they deliver amongst themselves that are gold. Deirdre O'Kane is a legend and Amy Huberman is fearless ! Aisling Bea what's not to love !

Also with Graham Norton as presenter need I say more, a Father ted reference even turns up.

It's not a show for everyone but it definitely brightened a few dull January nights !

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!!

Some great comics but it felt like I was watching a group of toddlers trying to make their parents laugh.

I'm not really sure what the point of this show was because it was the most unfunniest thing I've ever watched.

Yes let's stick a large nose on my face, oh let's laugh at the wall donkey. It was more like a children's TV show. Embarrassing.

I'm not sure why anyone with a brain would actually put this out into the hemisphere and think it would do well. And Graham Norton? Wtf ?

It was the most painful piece of trash I've seen in a very long time.

I only watched it because I'm Irish and live abroad. Give me that time back please.

Very poor. Please save your brains and don't bother.

I really like almost all the comedians involved in this and it's a really strong cast, not to mention Graham Norton. The format was completely foreign to me and I really didn't know how to expect. I liked the cameos - no spoilers - in the first few episodes: they gave it great buoyance and added a bit of variety. However as the episodes went on, it got a little tiresome and the comedians - understandably - got a little desperate. But instead of making it funny, it almost seemed childish. It started off strong with good comedic timing and the cameos, but the last episode or two really just felt like filling airtime. I think the format could have worked better if they actually had more time, in the style of a 'Big Brother' house, or if the criteria to peck off contestants was more fluid. I did enjoy this and will be watching any follow up, if there is one, but it just didn't hold its pace to the end.

Massive disappointment. Irish humour is normally fabulous, this was honestly abysmal. It's so unfunny. Pathetic.

Don't watch. I have it a chance at two episodes. The English one was much better, but that even that version still felt forced at times but nothing like this one. This was just an utter embarrassment- I felt sad for them. I wonder if that's why they was also rules for no smiling, I did note that one comic smiled but this was clearly to be polite to a celebrity singer and he was subsequently carded for it.. likely alsobecause there was nothing else to smile at.

I don't like to write bad reviews but there we are.

I watched the UK version and found it genuinely funny-clever, well-paced, and full of moments that made me laugh out loud. It had a great energy and the cast really brought the humor to life. Unfortunately, the Ireland version didn't live up to the same standard. I gave it a go, but after about 25 minutes, I had to switch it off. It just felt dull and lacked the spark that made the UK version so entertaining. The jokes fell flat, the pacing was slow, and it didn't grab my attention at all. Honestly, if you're looking to be entertained, stick with the UK version. But if you're after a good nap, the Ireland one might help you drift off.

What tends to make something funny is the context in which the joke is told in. Without context, all you have are a series of nonsensical punchlines and some random slapstick moments without any proper set-up. This is what LOL Ireland does. It's a show which challenges comedians to make one another laugh without laughing themselves for 50k prize money for a chosen charity.

There's nothing less funny than someone trying too hard to be funny which is exactly what you'll find in LOL Ireland with much of the humour ultimately coming across as desperate and strange. For example, one comedian stuffs beans down his pocket without any explanation or set-up. Another tells the same joke over and over again in a French accent. It becomes tedious to watch after 10 minutes.

Watching Graham Norton walk between two rooms to give a yellow or red card to the comedians who have offended by smirking or laughing is also tedious and something you will have to watch over and over again.

If this really is the best material these "top" Irish comedians have, it tells you everything you need to know about Ireland's current comedy scene. Honestly, you'll find a funnier group of comedians down at your local pub.

I turned in to see David Mcsavage. The rest id never heard of apart from bods wife. Fair play to her giving it a go. There are a lot of people on that show that think they're funny, it's hard to watch...it just didn't land well. There are a lot of great Irish comedians and hopefully they will be represented if there's another season. Martin Angolo, Emma Doran and Jason Byrne were particularly hard to watch but maybe it just wasn't their format. I've seen one of them before and their comedy wasn't funny then either. David Mcsavage i was disappointed by but I also feel bad for him as he looks miserable these days. Tony Cantwell stole the show, the only funny guy up there in my opinion.

Watched the UK version best thing I've watched in ages, but thos one, Australian and Canada all have this awful background music that is not needed and builds up suspense, when in a series like this silence is laughter especially when you don't know what's coming next, the music spoiled it all. Turned off after 20 mins.

Just keep to the uk version, if they keep making these with the background music they won't stand a chance, watch the UKversion and wait for fingers crossed a season 2. Because this was utterly awful. Such a shame as we wanted to carry on with the laughter. Not one single smile or laugh left our faces.

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.
