Tournament of Laughs

No laughs from me whatsoever. I could barely sit through one skit without getting annoyed or cringing.

Stand up comedy is a specialized art form, and sketch comedy is a very different beast. I've seen several of SNL's best SUCK at stand up, but they were brilliant at sketch. These stand up comics are swerving way out of their lane. Only Jason Sudekis shines, and, no surprise, he's a great sketch comic.

Is the goal to get as few laughs as possible? If so, they are succeeding. Some of these comedians are very funny when they are doing stand up. These skits are all pretty much horrendous. And Jim Norton just isn't funny ever. When the only skit that is the least bit funny is Triumph skewering Dr. Phil, you know you're in trouble.

But this is just terrible! It's absolutely painful to watch. I'm watching this a couple of years after it aired; did anyone actually vote? The only redeeming feature is Sudeikis in a suit.

The concept intrigued me, but quickly was able to see the flaws: 1. Jason Sudeikis 2. Jason Sudeikis looks like Donnie tRUMP Jr. 3. Jason Sudeikis is not funny 4. did not find the competitors funny either.
