Shan ... I was just gonna let it go. I think most of us were just
hoping to let it pass. I think sometimes people just want an
audiance. That post had almost nothing to do with the show.

I'll tell you what did and does bother me about the show, here's a
case where political correctness has robbed us of quality. There are
at least 4 comics that made it into the house based on race or
gender. There is no way Eddie Pepitone should have lost out to Tere,
Geoff, Dat, or Cory.

I was also glad to see sean go. How he thought he could beat Dave
with joke book humor is beyond me. He was also a complete prick in
the house. Somebody is gonna take Ralphie out soon. He can't win
because he can't carry a show. Mordal is gonna crush who ever he
takes on in show downs, it would be wise to avoid picking him.

Have you been to Dave's website?

http://www.davemordal.com/

I can't tell if it's a really bad website or just an inspired extension of
his comedy, but I think it's hilarious.

Anyone know the odds on the winner? I'm going with Dave, too.

Could it be that, due to her "immunity"(realityTVspeak for "can't get
voted off...GOD I hate television!)she voted for Ralphie to avoid
affecting the vote at all?  Even if she believed it, he's OBVIOUSLY a
player and wasn't gonna get chumped in the first WEEK!  She KNEW
voting for Ralphie was like not voting at all! G.

I do not find Ralphie funny at all.  Tess either, for that matter.  I think Sean was funnier the last couple weeks, and was not on his game at all last night.  I would be interested to know the whole story and not just the snippets we saw to know if he was really as judgmental and critical as he came across.  Criticizing Cory's cooking was not a good move.  However, there may have been another comment before we were not allowed to see.  It is amazing how quickly the house divided.  Obviously comics have a lot of underlying anger and angst.

Oh, Eddie Pepitone. He had me rolling. Quite a character, that guy...

But I thought Tess was pretty funny. The goddess/grapes thing I found amusing... but what about that lesbian girl? She was pretty funny too. And the first week... the girl that talked about the handjob? I forgot her name, but she made me laugh so hard. Yeah, there's definately some people that were funnier than some of the people in the house right now.

Tere needs too go.

What I couldn't believe was Tess thinking that she is funnier then
Ralphie. Give me a break, he is going all the way in this thing. What
really got me was here acting like a goddess lying on the couch and
eating her grapes.

I don't know what the judges were thinking in the first three weeks.
Some people there shouldn't even be on a stage and some good ones
were sent home. Tess should've gotten the boot and Eddie Pepitone
should be in.

Sean didn't take on Ralphie because he knew he didn't stand a chance
against him.  He's a coward.  And Ralphie was ready and wanting to
take him on.  Sean told some funny stories however it was pretty
clear that he is not a funny person.  All I heard from him was how he
had cancer and was from Texas....no he was not funnier than Dave
Mordal.

Are they genuinely really funny or is this all just an act?  We can
see that on the show.  I think we'll see Tess is maybe more suited
for something other than standup. I think most of the guys there are
good but I think Tess is more an actress than a comedian.  I wish her
well but I don't think she is going to be the funniest.

Rob, Dave and Rich are all funny people.  Not sure about Dhat Phan.
He does funny stuff, is that enough?  Ralphie is definitely the main
man  on that show.  I have seen him many times over the years, he's
no poseur and he is much funnier when spontaneous.  The camera loves
him and he is very much at ease.

Did you SEE Sean when the votes were shown?!?!  When Dave M came on,
Sean's right side of his mouth started twitching...but when Ralphie
came on, O MAN twitchtwitchtwitch...I know he has a condition, but
those guys must REALLY have gotten to him!!

Also, I agree with my man Brown when he tells Sean, "I'd challenge
the guy who called me a punk ass bitch!"  HELL YEAH.  Can't be scared
of Ralphie's skills like that, he challenged Dave cuz he thought he
could beat him, but you can tell Dave is funny by his quiet
demeanor...a thinker!  G.

I was really excited about this show but figured it would fall flat
like some other reality shows so I prepared for the worst when
watching the first two episodes.

HOWEVER, each week it gets better and better! When it was over
last night, I didn't want to hit the Delete button on TiVo because I
wanted to see more!

Great show!

And I ADORE Ralphie May. I just hope the fat jokes don't bore me
by the end of the season. I think there is more to him than fat
jokes, though. I am sure he will be around awhile anyway for us
to wait and see.

Sean IS DEFINITELY a punk-ass bitch (or a bitch-ass punk) and
his chicken-egg joke came from the movie Fried Green
Tomatoes. And, dissin' on Corey's food? HELL NAAAW! I am
glad he is gone.

I started out hatin' on Rich Voss, but thanks to Sean, I like him a
little more now.

Dat Phan---OMG LOVE HIM!

Tere Joyce---her material needs work but she is so cute and
seems so sweet that I want her to stay. She is very likable.

Tess Drake, GO GIRL! (Though her act reminds me a little of
Monique's in Queens of Comedy)

Dave Mordal---definitely a Sleeping Giant. He may become my
new favorite if Ralphie's fat jokes start to get old.

Cory Kahaney--Umm, so far nothing real original but I will wait
and see. Maybe she will become more interesting as the show
progresses.

Geoff Brown--Kind of blah. Not too original. He's okay. I mean, I
wouldn't ask for my money back if he played my local comedy
club.

Rob Cantrell--I think he may be another sleeping giant but I can't
quite tell.

Anyway, from what I have seen so far, I don't think any of these
comics are doing comedy that is going to change the world. In
my opinion, the mark of a great comic is one who can make you
laugh while changing or affirming the way you look at life. (think
Bill Hicks). So far, I haven't seen that but a few of these comics
(Dave Mordal maybe) seem like they have it bubbling under the
surface.

Can't wait until the next show!!!!!

Hopefully there will be another show and they you can try to be on
it. I guess a comedian is prob a comedian's worst critic! :)

I think most of them are pretty funny. I loved Dave's act last night
in the challenge. Sean's chicken/egg joke was funny too, but not as
funny as Dave's routine.

I'm glad Sean is gone. He was irritating IMO. But Jersey guy is
clever in that he instigated Sean's downfall and actually came away
as not so much the bad guy as Dave and Ralphie. LOL!

I was surprised that Tess made so much money! The way the editing
went, I was expecting that Vietnam would win.

I really don't think Statue of Liberty girl is funny. It seems from
the previews that Dave tells her so! LOL!

I am loving this show. Can't wait until next week already.


Oh... and in regard to your 'fat people are funny' comment.... I have
to agree... but being a fat person is not funny.... really. It's
unhealthy, and unfortunate for most. (And I can speak to this
personally).

I had a conversation about this with a friend involving the 'conflict
of interests' in today's show.  I must say it's unraveling really
nicely (if that's a word....  either way, you know what I mean)>
Anyway, here are some of the points brought up.  I felt bad for
Sean... I argued that, for aesthetic purposes,they should have kept
him on the show.  True, he knew he couldn't take on Ralphie May and
so the cook thing was kinda lame.  It would have been interesting for
him to take on the extremely irritating jersey guy, which I find
tired and unfunny, for the most part.  Sean should have worked a
little on his delivery but I do understand that he was being
constantly shot at so I'm sure he wasn't really 'at the top of this
game.'  Poor baby looked like he was about to break down and cry. 
What a horrible situation to be put in!
I look forward to next week's show and I hope to god that Ralphie and
Tess go head to head.  The fact that she mentioned that she knew she
was funnier than Ralphie seemed to stab the poor tub's heart, being
the ebony loving poser that he is.  But fat people are fun, I guess. 
No offense to anyone either, since I'm no male model myself.  I
thought it hysterical that he represent Houston, the fattest city in
the U.S....  and no offense to houstonians either since I've recently
relocated from there myself. 
Tonight's stand off was, for the most part, a bit on the dull side
and, yes, based on the comedy presented, the voting was fair.  I'm
just a little bitter to see Sean go.  Can you tell?
Anyway, just my personal input.  Hope this list gets going though
because it's the first list I feel I can get into.

I didn't think I would like the show as much as I do! It's great!

I think the fat guy is the funniest! I don't know how the 'statue of

were lame.

Cory, Dave, and Rob. Did anyone catch Late Friday... sometime last
year.. when Cory was up there? She was so good... I wonder if she's
going to use some of that material again, I hope so. Dave, I can
totally relate to, and Rob... kind of reminds me of Dane Cook.

Finally, a reality show that doesn't suck major ass.
