CountryCletus Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 If Nikki wins, it will be the best joke all year! That is so hilarious and so true!!! I will have to avoid this thread for a few days as I am down in the OBX and there is a nest of sea turtle eggs due to hatch either tonight or tomorrow just outside here on the beach... Should be cool to watch 100 little turtles run into the ocean to become food for other ocean dwelling creatures
The Dean Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 I will break stuff.... CBF It's just a TV show.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 14, 2014 Author Posted August 14, 2014 It's just a TV show. It is?!?!? CBF
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 14, 2014 Author Posted August 14, 2014 Maybe not. What do I know? lol I'm just kidding anyway bud. I just really hope she doesn't win CBF
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 15, 2014 Author Posted August 15, 2014 Rod Man!!!!!!!!!! Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad it wasnt Nikki CBF
USMCBillsFan Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I'm glad Rod Man won for sure! Although I didn't think he brought his strongest stuff to the finale.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 15, 2014 Author Posted August 15, 2014 I'm glad Rod Man won for sure! Although I didn't think he brought his strongest stuff to the finale. Me either. I think he won because he was the most consistant all season CBF
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I was terrified Nikki would win when the judges were huddling at the end. Thought Russell peters had a funny set, as did Laughlin. Rod man was decent but deserved to win based on the entire season. What did you guys think of alignon mitra? I guess winning the online competition just got him a chance to do a 4-minute set at the finale.

I guess winning the online competition just got him a chance to do a 4-minute set at the finale. Ya I liked his 4 minute set. I knew Rod Man would win it all so I wansnt worried. I was mad at the begining when they made it look like NIkki and Lachlan advanced and not Rod Man I did not think NIkki deserved to advance past either one of the other comics Glad they were only making it look like thats what they were doing and advanced all three CBF
USMCBillsFan Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I thought Mitra had a few funny jokes but overall seemed a bit generic. I'm also stoked Nikki didn't win...
The Jokeman Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 The question now what's up for Rod-Man next? As it seems like most of the winners of this show disappear soon after taking the crown. Yet I could see Rod-Man on a sitcom as a bumbling father with two teenage daughters and maybe a bit of a nag of a wife.
Maury Ballstein Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Most do disappear but some seasons have had some strong ones that have lasted. The season w Gary Gulman, Alonzo Bodden, John Heffron, and Corey Holcomb iirc all have lasted a decent amount of time.

The Dean Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Finally saw the finale (had to record an overnight replay as the NBC station here preempted it for the Jax game on Thursday). First of all, I thought they were all funny. Rodman's first set of the night was his weakest and I kind of think they didn't want to eliminate him on that one set, since he was the strongest competitor throughout. I really feel if they were to go only on that set, Rodman may have been the odd man out. I haven't been a fan of Lauchlan but he was at his best in the finale. I give him credit for finishing strong. I know many of you don't like Nikki but she destroys when she is on stage. Rodman was the right choice, and I think in the end, the judges saw he is the most developed, and professional, of the comics. (I wonder how much pressure they got to make Lauchlan their pick?) With that said, I'm not sure why comics like Rodman, Rocky (my favorite this year), Schubert, DC Benny, etc are on this show. Those guys are established comics who have had their own TV specials. When this show started, it was to discover new talent. I prefer to see guys like Monroe Martin, who really was formerly unknown to me. Same with Nikki and Lauchlan. To me, it's more fun that way, although the idea of making comedy (or music) a contest is pretty phoney. They waste so much time when they could be showing more comedy. And yes I know why they do it. Another thought, JB Smoove is not a particularly funny comic and an odd choice for this show, IMO. But I thought he did a good enough job when all was said and done. BTW, has anyone heard why Amy Schumer disappeared after one episode? I think she was supposed to have been a mentor for more episodes. What happened? BTW, most of the winners (and finalists) do experience a bump in their stand up careers. If they have enough material, I'm guessing it sticks. But everybody wants to be a sitcom, or movie, star. The truth is, most of the comics just aren't really suited to reading off a script and, you know, acting. Edited August 17, 2014 by The Dean

Maury Ballstein Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I am interested to see Norm Macdonald CBF Joe List is pretty funny he's a contestant this year Saw the tour last year at local theatre. Lachlan, Rodman, Machi were all hilarious. Nikki not so much.

Machi and Lachlan were hilarious and my favorites I couldnt stand Nikki and thought Rocky Laporte should have stayed instead of her CBF
