Belated pit for the first season of Last Comic Standing

Has the impression of his mother gotten any funnier?

Rich Vos was a complete asshole on that show. To me it was quite ironic that he was lording it over and trying to school everyone else on how to live a comic’s life, because I’ve never seen him actually being funny, especially on Colin Quinn’s trainwreck of a show.

And those were pretty much bullshit reasons.

It was Mordal that didn’t get it. In a comedy competition, what counts is pleasing the audience, not your fellow comedians.

Suit yourselves, but Dat made himself a target with his OCD tendencies. It’s not their fault he wasn’t talented enough to return the fire and was too much of a big gay baby to have a sense of humor about himself.

Wrong. For a comedian on a reality TV show what counts is getting air time. Mordal and Vos understood this and got time by ripping on each other and the other comics, playing up a faux homoerotic relationship, and going on a rat hunt. Dat did it by practicing his comedy routine (complete with laugh breaks and audience interaction) alone on a tennis court. Most people are laughing with the former and at the latter.

Best joke from last night: the guy describing how he wound up sitting at the back of the traffic jam he had created.
