Joker

You will laugh yourself silly watching this show.

Pros: Joker is the Iranian version of Documental, a Japanese game show that has inspired many similar shows around the world, such as LOL: Last One Laughing. However, the jokes are original, the rules are slightly changed, the zombie challenges are creative, the laughs are real, and the performances are unique.

Cons: The transitions between commentary clips are too frequent. They interrupt every funny moment with snippets of players discussing what is about to happen, ruining the moment. I want to SEE what's going on, man!

Also, those who gave this a 1/10, claiming it's a "stolen idea" might have been living under a rock for the past 30 years. It's like dumping on Family Guy for being similar to The Simpsons or blaming Friends (or any sitcom ever) for how similar it is to Seinfeld! In general, I think "Joker" is the funniest variation of this game show I've ever seen.

Not funny in any aspect, just attracting clueless viewers because of some good-for-nothing celebrities appearance in a dumb pointless competition. It is good for low class and low educated Iranian, I wouldn't watch it even for free. To put it in Rick Sanchez's words: "Its a joyless cash grab"

Stealing ideas is a common practice in Iran, and here another stolen idea turned into a TV show with terrible production and performance.

The Original show is called LoL: The last Laughing.

Since Iran doesn't respect copyrights and you can hardly find natural creativity and talent in the country, they have stolen this idea and produced everything precisely the way the original show did.

This is not the first time, and it will not be the last time. There are plenty of movies and shows that Iranian writers have stolen, and producers and directors have copied with even zero difference from the original.

First of all, I have to say that this program is an example of a foreign copied version, but we see examples all over the world that directors, writers and programmers copy from other programs, and secondly, a series of jokes that are seen in this program. It can be both very beautiful and funny for those of us who have the same culture. And it is interesting and sweet for us. In my opinion, this program is one of the best programs ever made in Iran to make people laugh and make them happy for a moment. They are also very popular and it is better not to judge.

They themself tell this in the beginning that the main Idea comes from a Japanese man called Hitoshi Matsumoto that get inspired while watching Big Brother to make: Documental. Then other countries copy this Idea and make their own ones (for example LOL: Last One Laughing). This means that even if its idea is a copy but this is not against the copyright law (if it exist in Iran lol)

About the show: It's so good. In most Persian comedy films I'm like "Meh..." But it's something real! I laugh SO HARD that sometimes makes me pain!

100% recommend it.
