Kill Tony: Kill or Be Killed

I love Kill Tony, but I feel like I've never seen everyone so tense. Everyone from the bucket pulls, the regulars, to the guests seemed anxious and uncomfortable. The pressure of being on Netflix was too much for everyone I feel like. That's the only thing I can think of that made this episode feel so much different.

That being said there were some amazing bits. Shane killed it as always, couple great bucket pulls, Tony didnt hold back from roasting. One of the most all-star casts the show has ever had. I just think it would have went better on youtube.

Curious to hear what people think who aren't use to the shows humor and format! Definitely not everyone's cup of Tea.

I'm a big kill tony fan, watch every episode weekly, and buy and watch the live shows. I've seen good and bad episodes. This wasn't great. Tom and Joe have proven time and time again they suck as hosts, best example being the 10 year anniversary. Shane, Adam, and Kyle were at least trying with their characters. While i wasn't a big fan of Kyle's character's, I know thats just me, and i respect the attempts he was making. I thought Shane and Adam did good with their characters and the regulars all did decent, but some of them felt off, but that happens in normal episodes too. I think they did a few too many special guests and regulars, with not enough bucket pulls, and it didn't portray the spirt of the show fully. Overall, a little disappointed, but it wasn't worse than any other so-so episode with bad guests.

I'll start on the positive side, some of the bits were ok, amusing at least. Shane Gillis as Donald Trump was leaps and bounds better than the rest of the show. Honestly, probably one of the best Trump impression I have seen. Now, on the negative side, the bucket pulls were shockingly bad. It's going to sound like I'm being mean or exaggerating, but about halfway through I seriously started to ask "does stand up comedy just suck that bad in Austin ?" As for the bucket pulls, they obviously had to be pre picked, are these people the best of Austin? Also, if you think it's just me having a bad sense of humor, listen to the crowd, you could hear a pin drop. Typically in live comedy things are objectively funnier in person, laughter is infectious, but whoa, this crowd is silent. It takes a ton of guts to get up and perform in front of people, especially on Netflix, so I'm really not trying to trash these comedians, but it really was bad. I wish all those comedians the best.

This guy has been doing this for years? How? There is absolutely nothing funny about Kill Tony.

From the idiot pretending to be Elon Musk - it is terrible.

The very first stand up comedian is so bad that he should definitely find another way to make money. This guy has no comedic timing and his mini routine was cringe worthy. But then we have to listen to the Musk pretender being an absolute jerk. Nothing is funny.

The four man panel was painfully awful as part of the show. The panel engages with the comedian and the questions are worthless.

Worse comedy show that I have ever seen. I still don't understand how he continues to have a show.

This episode was a weirdly packaged version of what Kill Tony really is. New viewers will be misled.

The episode is called Kill Tony for a reason - Tony is the showman that makes it work. But here, he's mostly a host introducing the next segment while showcasing his mates with barely any bucket pulls - the magic of the show! His roast of bucket pulls is soft and misses the usual quick, hilarious, ego-destroying responses. He even leaves awkward silences between guest contributions that would normally be filled because he understands showbiz. And there is just a general sense of nervousness to make it work rather than just going with the flow.

Overly prepared, unnatural, uninspired.

If you want the real deal - head over to YouTube.
