Don’t know how many fans of this show there are, but I wanted to talk about this.
Did anyone catch last night’s LCS3 premiere? How about the extremely squirm-ariffic set performed by LCS1 team member Ralphie May? :eek:
I felt really bad for the guy. Having lost his father the night before, he obviously wasn’t in the right frame of mind to put on a 2-minute set. He ended up telling two jokes, both of which he said were “among his dad’s favorites,” and then left the stage crying.
I swear, I don’t think I’ve ever been that uncomfortable watching something in my life. I’m hoping he isn’t the one that gets the axe from the LCS1 crew, but there stands a middling chance he will.
I didn’t see this particular performance but I would guess it was just throwing shit on top of a shitpile. Ralphie Mayes is the unfunniest comic since Nick DiPaolo, a jerk, an idiot, and possibly even the unfunniest comic ever.
In all seriousness, I thought he was pulling an Andy Kaufman until he said g’nite. I just knew he was going to pull it out and somehow make it a performance piece.
The only more uncomfortable stand-up moment I ever saw was during an episode of MTV’s Half-Hour Comedy Hour, when a bombing comic just flat-out walked off the stage during his set. It was just surreal and bizarre. I often wonder why he wasn’t edited off the show. Maybe he peeved the show’s producer.
