No seriously, what is funny? It's a show about comedians but honestly, I didn't laugh once. There are all these "jokes" and everyone in the audience is laughing out loud and the other comedians are praising each other and there's lots of swearing and stories about sex and body parts and I'm just thinking, is this how dumbed down the world is now? I wanted to find it funny, I really did, but the comedy was cringey high school humour. I hung in there because I liked the premise, the window into a different lifestyle and seeing the clubs. The characters are pretty much unlikeable - just as they are on Seinfeld and I think that is what Crashing wants to be. But Seinfeld is original, funny, clever, observant. I reckon the characters would be better cast as teachers so there wouldn't be that expectation that when they stood up in front of a crowd they were going to be funny. Anyway, just a suggestion.
