First a disclaimer: I am Dutch, I know the persons. I know what they can do and how they think. That makes it way more fun, because after this I watched the Australian version and it not funny at all...
I like the concept that you must not laugh. Comedians should not laugh about their own jokes, but I also like the battles when they are one on one and trying to make the other laugh. And I like bloopers a lot, the spontaneous laugh. And word jokes by the way...
So there are no bloopers unfortunality but the battles are there! And there are some very creative actions to try to make the other laugh. I dare say that each comedian is a their best! When I watched most people seperate and for an hour + performing I do not like them much. But here they have short bursts, like Henri, I do not like his solo show. But I lke all his performances in shows, series and everything else on tv. Same goes for other persons.
I like the sketches that they do and I also like that the 'jury' is pushing them and making it harder. And they really see every laugh. I like it. And I have really respect for not laughing, it must be really hard!
I like also that the episodes are really short and you can watch everything in one sit. It should not take longer I think. And I also like they lead the show with 2 persons. I really must laugh out loud when there is something very funny but you cannot laugh... The tention of this is really another dimension. I like it.
So again, I had some great laughs, I still feel my eyes afterwards from crying. I hope they can do another season with this much quality. Taking comedian out of their comfort zone!
And after seeing Australia I am totally convinced the 9 is well deserved! And I want to see a Belgian version by the way.
