LOL: Last One Laughing Ireland

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'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.

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 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 !

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.
