Comedy Knockout

My wife and I first watched the pilot with high hopes. We could not make it past the first commercial brake. The jokes are attempted by comedians you have never heard of and the show is hosted by a host you've never heard of. They shove disgusting jokes down your throat. The host does not even laugh at his comedy nor the guests on the show. Avoid at all costs. Mind you I love shows like South Park and Family Guy. This show is far more tasteless than both shows put together. It is nothing but men and women throwing racial and sexist jokes at one another while the audience is more than likely cued to laugh. It is a shame because the network is well established with shows like Impractical Jokers as well as top 10.

I like the idea of three comedians competing each episode to be the funniest of the three but the way this show does it is boring and unfunny. First of all, they have the same 6-7 comedians on rotation for each episode which makes it confusing whether or not I'm watching reruns. Second, the host is the most unfunny, most inattentive host I've ever seen. He seems like a fan who won a contest to host an episode but he's hosting EVERY EPISODE! Third, and the thing that should be the selling point: the jokes, are rarely ever funny. There are a good few times I laughed but the jokes boil down to roasting by stereotypes and thinking that calling someone by X ethnicity is comedy. And finally, the "scoring" system is pointless. The host randomly gives out points to who he thinks did the best which is the most mediocre and boring way to do that. Maybe have the audience vote on who they thought they were the best a la Millionare style? Overall, a boring show with a great concept that is wasted and thrown into the trash.

An unoriginal cringe fest with bottom tier 'comedians'.

I have never seen a show in which 50% is all about black people making fun of whites, and the other 50% is just terrible disgusting penis jokes. This show is the laughing stock of my group of friends, but for all the wrong reasons. This show tries to be funny but just makes you want to grind your teeth together in cringey agony. Don't even get me started on Dave Norton, one of the "comedians" on this "show". He is the king of penis jokes that just come off as disgusting and awkward. If I could describe this show in 5 words, I would say "penis, fat black woman, cringe". This is another attempt by TruTV to capitalize on their hit show (which is currently my favorite show) Impractical Jokers, but shows like this, Almost Genius, and Fameless just come off as uncomfortable and trying too hard to be hip, cool, and they extremely focus on being funny. Damien Lemon is a terrible host, and seems to hate his job, from what I can assume. He is always looking terribly uninterested, and barely ever even lets out a giggle to the people giving their best to make a funny. Expect in the future an episode where they collab with the equally unfunny hosts of Almost Genius. Finally, I have to mention that most of the time they either have some old manchild white guy, or a black woman on the show. Not that I have a problem with either, it's just that they literally take the most unfunny, uninteresting, and cringiest people they can find, and tell em' to make funnies. Kill me please.

Forced, unfunny, pretentious. If 2017 humor had a show it would be this. So awful.
