I voted for John. I was originally going to go with Gary after his set, but John really impressed me.

As far as the guest comics, I thought the grandma was absolutely hilarious. I laughed more at her set than I have at most of the regular comics sets that have been on the show.

Vonner 08-11-04 03:50 PM

I vote for John twice and Alonzo once. I also agree that Grandma Lee had the best set of the night.

Michael Corvin 08-11-04 04:30 PM

as for a sitcom, Heffron would be the best choice. He would make a great sitcom character. But for stand-up(comedy special), the other two have him beat. All 3 are great and have their strengths and weaknesses.

movieking 08-11-04 04:46 PM

Both Gary and John dissapointed me, but I thought Alonzo was pretty good, even though his jokes were ancient.

I would put John and Alonzo in a dead heat for my favorite.

TornDimension 08-11-04 08:27 PM

i think everyone has a dissapointing night, and Alonzo did, but he's undoubtedly the best comic when it comes to America's choice, i hope he's LCS. he deserves it

Derrich 08-12-04 08:22 AM

Alonzo was using material from the stone ages. Hell, I've been telling the purse and panty jokes for years.

'Sure I'll hold your purse, but I'm looking through it.'
'How come girls get 12 different type of panties and we can only choose between boxers and briefs?'

Heffron was the best.

I don't really care who wins because compared to last season I'd be happy with any one of these three. They are all pretty good. I think Alonzo has been the best throughout the run of the show, but he may have lost it with those used up premises. I liked Heffron the best this round.

I'd put Gary at the bottom of the three, but he should get credit for having the toughest path to get to this point, and he was good enough that it wouldn't bother me if he won. I would be surprised though.

Is it true that they are having the people from the first two seasons ALL back for Last Comic Standing 3?

Do you mean like a rematch thing for the losers? Won't they do the open mike audtions for season three?

das Monkey 08-12-04 08:17 PM

Ralphie is bombing. Weak that he brought out the Jack-in-the-Box routine; worse that he stumbled through it. Glad to see some new material, though.

das Monkey 08-12-04 08:24 PM

Oh man ... now Ralphie looks like the funniest man in the world. What a terrible set from Dat. I still can't believe he won that thing.

metsrule3186 08-12-04 08:27 PM

yea i hate dat, i laughed for a second when he first made fun of old kung fu movies, but that was it. AND WHY CANT HE DO ANYTHING BESIDES JOKES RELATED TO BEING ASIAN!! i mean i dont care if he did some but thats all he does unlike ralphie who does some fat jokes but doesnt base his entire set on it.

Steam 08-12-04 08:30 PM

Well, its been a year and Dat is still not phunny. Wow, who woulda thunk it?

das Monkey 08-12-04 08:46 PM

Wow. Gary was <i>terrible</i>. I can't believe I defended him.

Oh, and he's a bit mistaken on the goatee/vandyke thing.

das

Steam 08-12-04 08:53 PM

I'm very happy with that result.

I should get into standup. After seeing Mohr's wife and now Heffron's, damn!

GuessWho 08-12-04 08:53 PM

winner is...

Spoiler:
------------JOHN------------

das Monkey 08-12-04 08:54 PM

But John will win.

das

Meh.
Spoiler:
Alonzo was better, but this was an easy prediction. Nothing against John -- he'll do fine and is a much better choice than Dat -- but Alonzo is the superior comic.

I'm just watching it now and Ralphie May is one unfunny fat ****. I didn't watch last year's show, so I was hoping he might be decent. It's pretty nasty when all you see is the guy's fat jiggle around his neck as he talks. Terribly unfunny. Dat isn' t going to be any better will he?

PacMan2006 08-12-04 09:38 PM

Can someone tell me what the big surprise is for Last Comic Standing 3? My tivo cut it off in the last 5 mins...

Charlie Goose 08-12-04 09:42 PM

Ralphie May was first runner-up last time? Holy crap, they must've had some real hacks if this guy made it to the finals. His set was the worst of anyone's this season. That ghetto talk nonsense was terrible.

Dat Phan was a little better, although when he puts on a Chinese accent, he actually sounded Irish.

The final surprise was the announcement of Season 3 consisting of Season 1 vs. Season 2. Too bad NBC revealed it by airing promos for S3, during the show. NBC promo people should shampoo my crotch.

They suck major ass.

Ralphie and Dat weren't funny.

Gary wasn't good tonight.

Alonzo was kind of bleh.

John was alright.

I'm happy w/ the outcome - my wife was really happy.

Can't wait to see Bonnie and Todd during season 3.

Jeraden 08-12-04 09:52 PM

Well, I really liked Dat last year even though I seem to be in the minority. But I agree, his stuff just wasn't funny this time. I never liked Ralphie last season, and I still don't like him this season. None of the abbreviated acts were really funny tonight. Happy with outcome of the winner though, he got all my votes.

Goldberg74 08-12-04 10:02 PM

Which house is Ant going to staying in?

Congrats John! Don't feel bad that two seconds after they announced that you won, Jay pointed to the screen and said here's Season 3... :up:

cornflakeguy 08-12-04 10:50 PM

Are you guys kidding?

Ralphie was freaking awesome! He'll win Season 3, you heard it here first!

I never saw Season 1, so this is the first time I've seen Ralphie or Dat. Dat sucks, why did he win?

Man no kidding. I thought that was a little rushed as well. Kinda like, "Screw you, HERE'S what we are waiting for!"
