    I'm not sure what this clip is. I think it's from the first show - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXiu_xQRM2s

    I only watched a few seconds here or there. It seemed terrible. And it's one of those shows where the guests try to juice the jokes by laughing themselves even if that shit is 1,000 miles away from being funny.

      It felt like one of those fake talk shows the main character in a film puts on in the background that's meant to be a social commentary on how empty, mindless and boring TV is.

      Got to 2:55 before I asked myself how are these losers considered funny?

        And I don't understand the appeal of any form of fake laughter. A laugh track is bad enough but watching people pretend to laugh at each other's jokes is like something I imagine plays in Hell 24/7.
