LOL: Last One Laughing Australia

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.

I like the concept and feel it could work well with a better cast selection based on willingness to try, and understanding that the goal is to laugh, not cringe or vomit.

I found a couple of the comedians great; love Woodley who is generally able to turn most things funny in his calm, serious, sometimes deadpan style. Anne was funny at times from her unexpectedness and character play. They are why it gets 6 and not 4.

I'm overall disappointed and embarrassed that this might be what foreigners think is the nature of Australian comedy.

* There were quite a few people there that weren't comedic. Whilst it might be intimidating for green comedians against veterans, or extroverts, the lack of activity and effort from at least four, was disappointing. They were either too focused on not laughing, or they need to change careers because they don't know how to do comedy. Also despite advertising, this wasn't Australia's best comedians. This is, as expected, the best they could expect to get, with one or two exceptions.

• while people have different senses of humour there is a general agreement that we'd be laughing right? There's physical comedy, slapstick, puns, character driven etc. it's all kind of represented here. But there was a predominance of what some called 'absurdist' humour, mainly from one persons tour de force of gross out activities. Msybe people legit found this funny. I don't get it. It's barely physical humour. It's not slapstick. It seemed that one trick pony's entire approach was, make them gag or cringe. For 6 hours. Not precisely the goal of Comedy.

• there was general unfunnyness from several people. Being centre stage and trying to throw up? Dumping flour on your head with no follow up? Pointing out all the dogs in this book are probably dead now?

* it's a disappointing showcase and representation of Australian comedy. You don't need big names or experience. You just need quality. or effort. There was a LOT of mediocre and a dash of non attempt at comedy.

A couple of bright spots and a good concept that will only be realised if they get quality comedians with more diversity in their comedic toolkit

Dear World This is not typical of Australian humour. We do have quality comedians. We can be funny. Seriously. Regards.

Not the greatest showcase of some of the comedians but I am not the type of person who finds it funny in saying the most crass thing for attention. To me you're just "trying" to be funny. But there is comedians in there that don't rely on that and are genuinely funny without screaming and yelling crass words so it is worth a watch.

This could be funny - large group of comedians locked in a room trying not to make each other laugh and Rebel Wilson as the host. First episode or two were a little funny but it quickly ran out of steam. The last few of episodes were as weak as anything I have seen. Self-indulgent, unfunny frat-house humour. Even the usually wonderful Rebel couldn't save it and looked exhausted and slightly desperate by the end. Judges were very quick to get rid of some very talented female comedians and the middle-aged, white men proceeded far further than their performances should have permitted. Yawn.

If it hadn't been in lockdown I wouldn't have bothered. Suggest you don't bother. Even in lockdown.

Take 10 comedians put them in a room for 6 hours and see which one can hold back the laughter to win 100,000 Australian dollars! I've watched the first 2 episodes, I don't want to but I need you watch more, I have to find out who wins! Curious but strangely compelling watch!
