LOL: Last One Laughing Ireland

Never heard of this franchise before but saw on amazon and loved it. Yes I appreciate it won't be for everyone, I also appreciate it may be harder as some of the comedians are unknown to the other side of the water.

I'm a huge Jason Byrne fan and that's what made me try it. The first episode is slow (let's say) as its a new format and getting used to the game. But I would not have lasted 5 minutes in that house with all the one liners and slapstick humour!

It feels like a lengthened 'Taskmaster' task. If you like Jason Byrne or Vic and Bob style humour, you'll probably like it. If you need full material and canned laughter you might not! Give it a go though!

I really hope they do an English/Scottish one now!!

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 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.

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 !

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.
