Not funny at all, maybe not as bad as LOL: Nigeria but had very distasteful humor and it was overall boring. Thought it was a culture clash but no the reviews also show it was just lame.
They should hire all actual comedians for the show, maybe Trevor Noah wouldve been a better candidate than host. The influencers/actresses trend is getting away from the original LOL recipe and just makes the overall show worse.
Another dud. Also didn't like that it was also a little racist vs the one white guy that they included. I thought south africa wouldve been a more diverse cast, but that was not on display here.

I was honestly excited to start this after watching the UK run. That one broke me within minutes of the first episode. Then it kept hitting!
I was hoping South Africa would produce something on the same level at some point.
Took a yellow from what I considered to be the funniest joke in the entire 6hr run.
Them trying to make each other laugh from acting like characters other than themselves in a social setting I found annoying.
However I believe this could have been hilarious with a more natural flow between the comedians.
I couldn't recognize one genuine conversation between them without some noticeable and annoying gimmick attached.
I wanted to see them as themselves.
The comedy should seem natural.
When Bob Mortimer made the chair creak I lost it. The look on his face and then Judi Love laughing floored me.
Rob Beckett dealings of getting tongued, nearly blacked me out it was so funny.
I was really expecting and wanting a moment like that here, but it's safe to say you would make it through as I did. Or maybe be floored from the jokes. It is subjective.

We have such a talent pool of amazing comedians and this is what we have to represent SA comedy, where are all the actual funny people 90% of the time it's toilet humour and crass language and noise. The most unfunny people, more than half are not even comedians. This was a painful long watch and such a waste of time, don't watch this if you want a laugh. We could have done so much better. What an absolute waste of money, production time and the audience time. The saddest part about watching this was that not even Trevor Noah was funny, his script felt stunned and it seemed like he was told to hold back.
I've watched other series of this show. I didn't find them "LOL" funny but they were at least entertaining.
This South Africa series is not even slightly amusing or entertaining. I only made it through three episodes and couldn't believe how bad it was. It's embarrasingly bad.
These are supposed to be comedians or funny people?
I really don't understand how this got released. People had to know this was not going well as it was being made. And they definitely had to know it was awful when it was over. No editing could save this. Nothing could save this mess.
I don't know how any of this people had careers before this travesty but they might not when people see this.

Felt the humor was false, broken and cheap. I appreciate and love South African humor in general, but this was tough to watch.
The guests have such diverse backgrounds and individually perform well on stage, which is great. However, the "forced" humor through a one-sided "PC" lens left me feeling frustrated and irritated that the international platform provided.
The passive aggressive humor was only balanced by the inappropriate cheap shots.
Kept watching till the end with a hope that something worth while would save the day.
Unfortunately not. Wouldn't recommend taking time out of your day.
