Featured reviews
I've seen bad comics and I've seen this show. I'll watch Fluffy all day long if this show was my only other option. The commercials ruin all the jokes by showing the only ones that might get even a Mona Lisa smile from me. It's like listening to dad jokes on repeat or your really annoying coworker recounting their boring weekend.
Yes, this is my first review but I felt it was my civic duty to counter all the fake positive reviews. Do yourself a favor when this show comes on, change the channel and take a shower.
You mean to tell me they bring people all the way out here with a fake audience to tell ONE joke? The acting is terrible and awkward and the comedians are like 3/10 funny...if that. I've been trying to find the applause and laugh now signs cause it is so obvious they have one. No one in their right mind would laugh in a live audience like this with the jokes they tell.
I'm hardly even talking about Laff Tracks here, and neither will you, even if you force yourself to watch this abortion of a show.
You might remember (but probably not) a TV show on Comedy Central in the early 00's called "Shorties Watchin' Shorties". It was the same thing, only animated, with some cartoon babies talking to each other between comedians. It didn't last, and for good reason. If a comic's act is any good, it's already funny, and we don't need to see it acted out. It could be watchable, but completely unnecessary. If the act isn't funny, it's not going to become funny by seeing it acted out.
The problem with any show that just has select bits from different comedians, is it's usually a mixed bag. You have to watch several comedians you don't like, and then when a good one comes along, you want to see the rest of their act, not change to a new one. But Laff Mobb's Laff Tracks has a bigger problem. None of the comedians are funny. At all. At least Shorties Watchin' Shorties had some decent comedians. The people on this show don't even tell actual jokes, they're just pointless stories that have no punchlines. It can actually get pretty embarrassing to watch.
Don't trust the sudden influx of positive reviews that all happened to pop up within a couple days of each other, all from users who have never written another review. I haven't written many myself, but I felt the need to offset any false impressions people may get from these obviously fake reviews.
- SLIGHTLY less awful than comedy knockout
Cons:
- Corny unfunny host
- "Comedians" just tell personal stories that you can tell are extremely over exaggerated
- The audience looks like they're paid to be there
- The the comedy scenes usually don't really fit with the "jokes"
I'm all for lesser known comedians getting their time to shine, but it seems like they just grabbed people off the street and told them to try and be funny. Only watch this if you want to roast the awful jokes with a group of friends because the chances of actually being entertained by this show are extremely low.
Update: Look at influx of reviews that are 9+. They are obviously trying to bring their rating up since all those accounts are brand new lmfao.
