Is This a Joke?

Clearly, this is a bunch of people who know each other from being on the stand up circuit of some small town. They, clearly, couldn't say no to any comic on the circuit who got wind of the project and asked if they could be in it. The comedy is in watching them try not to corpse when they think about the punchline before the end of the joke. Make sure you've watched something good already, and that you are drunk, suddenly, and it becomes a 3.5, which I am rounding up to a 4, out of inebriated generosity.

Horrible. Don't waste your time. Horrible jokes, bad acting, over use of rim shots and slide whistles; all intermixed with boobs you don't really want to see.

I was browsing Amazon Prime and the illustration caught my attention, so I checked it out. It's so bad it's insulting. I cancelled my subscription as a result of watching 5 minutos of this.

I like low budget and no budget films, so I recognized Nikola Fiore's name in the opening credits. I'd seen her in Terror at Bloodfart Lake, which is actually a fun and entertaining film!

This, on the other hand, is not. Lighting is bad in the occasions it's used at all. Audio quality sounds like it's through a cheap camcorder mic and audio levels are totally different between shots. Added sound effect levels are way too loud.

What's with the sets? You can shoot in an actual bar for one joke but then you have to shoot all the other bar jokes in the basement in your house?

I'm not even an amateur filmmaker but I feel like this movie could have been much better had the filmmakers googled "how to light a set" or "how to frame a shot" or even gone through the software tutorial on iMovie.

I'm usually a very positive person and super supportive of independent filmmakers, but this was just awful in every technical aspect.

2 stars because the project got completed and uploaded to Amazon Prime.

You know, even back in 2011, amateur and independent film makers were able to make some fairly sophisticated movies on minimal budget with cheap cameras and share-ware editing. So, what's this movie's excuse? I was involved with fan films and community-access TV shows back in the 1990s that were way better filmed, acted, and directed than this.

On top of that... Yeah, as a teen, I read tons of bad joke books, including 6 volumes of "Truly Tasteless Jokes." Just about any of them were better and funnier than these.

I'll cut a lot of slack for an independent project, but how the smegging bloody hell did this end up being promoted on Amazon? Did someone's idiot cousin need a SAG card?
