Yeah, that is one annoying bitch.

None of those 3 were really pretty to me.

Chris

Kendra's laugh kicks ass! Such a funny and obnoxious laugh...I love it.

Ron G does suck quite a bit, Iliza keeps getting hotter and hotter to me as the weeks go by, and Sean Cullen is one goofy funny bastard. But as for the funniest for me has to be Marcus. You can't, not for a second, beat a Christopher Walken impression done to PERFECTION. I see it as it's his competition to lose.

holy crap, i've been retelling that Louis Ramey joke about sex and honey for years. I saw a guy in Tunica, MS tell it exactly like that about 10 years ago. It very well could have been Louis Ramey, all I remember is that it was a black guy. He also told a pretty funny joke about what it would be like to be in the locker room with manute bol (using the microphone as a "prop"). That joke probably is dated now, but still funny. if ramey pulls that one out, I'll KNOW it's the same guy.



P.S. - loved the Iliza panty shot. :)

So they went from 8 down to 5. Definitely got it right, they cut the three weakest comics, Ron G, Sean Cullen, & Adam Hunter.

However next week is the season finale, so from a group of 5, they'll announce the winner. That's kind of odd. I guess NBC didn't want to give them the 3 extra weeks. My prediction is the tattooed guy, but Iliza could pull it off too.

The upcoming Olympics had a little something to do with the weird elimination schedule.

Vote-wise - It'll be between Marcus and Iliza, though the crowd was really into Iliza (she's just got a lot of momentum from her 2 wins in the showdowns).

Jim wasn't all that funny, but he's been funnier in past segments. Needed to use the bass more in his act last night.

Louis got long-winded and was losing my attention. He's a little too comfortable, and has lost an edginess to his performance.

Marcus was funny and can go many places with his impressions, but he doesn't use them as a crutch.

Jeff was semi-funny. He's trying to be original, but it's not polished material.

Iliza was usually funny (frat-house funny), but her pacing around the stage can get old.

--------

The Departed:

Ron thinks too much of his own material, numerous funny faces does not make an act entertaining.

Adam is a 1-2 punch joke teller (one setup line, one punchline, wash rinse, repeat), not much of a funny story teller. His comedic rhythm gets a little monotonous.

Sean Cullen is too full of himself to be considered entertaining. If he could clap for himself, he would.

Iliza's stand-up last night did not seem as strong as her past performances but I think she does have a good chance to win. It should be an interesting final. :)

Marcus was stronger than usual, which surprised me. Jim was just OK. Jeff Dye was good but felt restrained. Louis was not funny. Iliza was OK but not up to her usual standards....I hope Marcus or Jeff take it...or Iliza.... anyone but Louis :)

My thoughts exactly. I hated his first performance where he kept repeating "What stays in Vegas...", but have enjoyed his talking heads.



This mostly mirrors my feelings. I do think Adam Hunter is better than most people give him credit for. If he had delivered the performance he did Thurs, last week, I think he may have stayed (at least for me).

Iliza and Marcus both have the best stage presence. I don't really think Iliza is that funny, but she commands the stage and has enough "acting out" to make her act interesting.

Marcus probably should have used his impressions. This is not the time to "prove you're more than impressions". It may prove his downfall.

Jim Tavarre has the best material. His delivery is good. That would be my choice to win, but I doubt he will.

Ron G and Sean Cullen deserved to be eliminated and Louis deserves to lose.

Mybe it wa just me but Iliza's boobs seemed to have grown since the start of the season.

^It's called a waterbra, and they are very deceiving. She definitely looked STACKED at the final performance.

Iliza was definitely not as funny this past week. I think this is Marcus' to lose. He is actually funny without the impressions...

I like Jeff Dye a lot. I don't think he'll win, but i love his delivery. And his "girls are called sluts, guys are called homosexuals" joke was hilarious.

I agreed with the top 5. Adam Hunter is good, but like someone said above, he is too repetitive in his delivery.

I don't know. I'm not willing to look up past season threads of LCS, but there's been at least 6 (?) episodes this season and this thread hasn't even broken 40 posts yet.

I agree that it will be 1-2 between these two, but I'm not sure who'll finish first. Iliza has built up a lot of goodwill being forced to perform three times, but I don't care for the manic energy and bar jokes that's she's been recently using.

He's actually my favorite since his sense of humour is so close to mine and I liked the "Who Am I?" game reference. I think NBC needs to write an episode of Chuck with him that would also double as an homage to Single White Female.

I like the deadpan delivery and the dry British wit. Hope he sticks around.

He's been absolutely horrible onstage with the songs, but I love his talking heads. His reference to Esther Ku and Dale Evans (being no longer with us) would be the main reason I would have kept him on.

I think he's been doing this longer than any of the others (except maybe Jim). It shows because his performance is too conventional. He looks and sounds like a guy who knows exactly how to get from point A to B safely or recover properly if a joke bombs. I'm pretty much indifferent to him.

I don't have anything against Adam, but the hate/voting directed against him in previous episodes could have equally been applied to Louis. Adam really needs to work on changing up his delivery and pacing to keep the audience interested.

I also agree Ron thinks too much of his material. I'll be happy if he leaves since I think he's full of himself. So is Sean, but he's an absurdist so it somehow seems more acceptable.

Tonight is the night for the crowning of the NEW Last Comic Standing!

Can you feel the electricity? Can you hear the entire nation buzzing with anticipation?

Yeah, me neither. Let's watch anyway.

WTF?

This didn't air at 10 pm as it was supposed to in NYC. After spending two months watching, this is how NBC disrespects me? Bastards.

Anyway, this is who won:

Congrats to the Last Comic Standing! Seemed kinda rough that the final two had to perform one last time even though the final votes were already tabulated.

Triumph the Insult Dog on Last Comic Standing

"Louis, you said that you eat and drink comedy? Eat and drink comedy? That's how you turn it into crap!"

:lol:

<--has a huge crush on the winner

I'm happy with how it ended. There were alot of terrible acts picked like Esther Ku and Papa CJ. But thats to be expected when you have two completely worthless hacks Belzer and Shiripa as your main talent scouts. Luckily the live audiences in LA and America did a great job of weeding out the crap. I would have been happy with any of the 5 last night winning because they were all funny.

What a tedious finale!
 

That finale was horrible! Basically a promo for American Gladiators, Deal or No Deal, and the Olympics. And who did Jon Lovitz have to pay to get to do a standup routine -- or was he being punished for something?

Iliza deserved to win, if only because she survived the trial by fire. When Marcus was talking about attending the heavy metal concert, I actually reflected back to Mitch Hedberg's heavy metal concert joke where the lead singer asked the audience if they felt like human beings. He answered "Yes," because he did not realize there was a second part asking if they felt like animals.

Joel McHale seemed to know the winner beforehand and probably had one of the better lines saying he was funnier than Iliza (and then commenting it was now just a matter of time before she kicks his ass like she did everyone else's). I loved Triumph who had the best comment about Ramey as written by wishbon3 and Iliza "growing" over the course of the show.

I'm just glad i didnt watch last season. How that guy even got invited to the first showcase let alone won the whole thing is beyond me. I had to FF after about two minutes of his horrible routine.

No kidding. Any idea where he was from? I never heard it mentioned during his routine.

Jon Reep is from.....oh you! :)

I thought the finale was a giant waste of space really. Jon Lovitz was not very funny at all, resorting to anti-Bush jokes that we've all heard for the past seven years... The comedians themselves weren't terribly funny but then again, most of the time was spent whoring all the other networks promotions, not on the actual competition itself.

The episode could have easily been shortened to a half an hour.
