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.

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.

Dire, truly embarrassingly awful. Can't blame the format it's the comedians. If these are the best comedians Ireland can come up with and this is their best material then I despair! I know there are better Irish comedians than this. Savage thought putting food in his pockets and eating from them was the height of hilarity. Another female comedian who's material seems to be based solely on the fact she's a lesbian kept having to tell us she was as her material was so poor. Another clown had a puppet speaking in a french accent with jokes so poor a six year old wouldn't laugh and then Jason who put on a big nose mask for laughs! God help us.

I watched the UK version of this first and really enjoyed it, so figured I'd expand my viewing to at least the other English-speaking versions.

Well, a bit of a mistake as I didn't find it very funny. One major issue as pointed out by another reviewer is that this show is called Last One LAUGHING, not last one smiling.

That is such an epic fail on the part of the producers. It takes a lot more to make someone laugh than smile. The UK version pushed the participants to the breaking point and near mental breakdown before they were eliminated, which made for great viewing. Here, the Irish are knocked out for the smallest smile which is an idiotic choice and just not funny.

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.
