LOL: Last One Laughing Australia

What a waste of comedic talent. this is a naive and unsuccessful attempt to make reality-tv with comedians: no script, no substance, hoping that the mere challenge of making the others laugh suffices. no such luck: without a format to de-construct, parody, or ridicule (usually what improv comedians are good at), nothing much happens, and no one is laughing. the premise is shallow, the execution is on a par with the bachelorette, but the latter is funnier and easier on the eye. guess which show i'd rather have watched?

I don't understand how anyone can find Anne Edmonds or Sam Simmons funny. At first the shock factor was hilarious but the more it went on it just became boring. Anne and her loud obnoxious characters were just so...cringey. Like? How were the other comedians laughing? Cringe cringe cringe. But in saying that I'd still watch a season two.

Maybe Australians will enjoy it, dunno. It just felt like a bucketload of farts and kiddish jokes and nonsense to me. I sped up through the season, thinking maybe at least the last wpisode ahould be fun, the last remaining comedians must be the best, right? No, sir. Complete waste of time.

The first few episodes were interesting, if not funny. I expected this to be funny but quickly realised that it wasn't/wouldn't be only to find it quite interesting to see which varieties of humour were able to trip the different comedians up. Unfortunately the only comedians left at the end were filthy vulgar childish debased and uninteresting. I never found out who won, it just got sad and I couldn't hack it out. I don't mind a bit of crass humour but what makes it funny is the unexpected nature of it. When all the rules are out the door there is nowhere left to go but into boring and pitiful insanity. I feel sorry for myself that I watched as long as I did

The show is a brilliant way to expose us to the Australian comic scene. It is also a great insight into how difficult it is to be a performer and the fine line between one who is performing and one not. Sam Simmons and Ann Edmonds are hilarious as well as everybody else. 10 comedians in a room and each has their different act they have to be funny to each other and to the camera. Great show.
