"Laundry was all wet"
Posted by Michalena on 06-22-04 at 10:36 PM
The laundry mat was not funny; at all.
A good comic should be able to make people laugh even if they are about to get surgery.

The laundry mat should have been an easy target.

When I do my laundry I make sure I separate the darks from the whites. The darks go on one side of the wringer and the whites go on the other side.

I agree. Someone made the comment that people at laundromats don't want to be bothered. I can understand that, but if someone is cracking jokes - I don't care where you are, you're gonna laugh if it's funny. Corey had the women laughing because he made it personal. The rest of them sucked and I were Bonnie I would have brought Tammy's butt with her to the stand-off - Or Ant. Bonnie may be funnier than Tammy, but I know for a fact that she is funnier than Ant. Everyone is.

One question....did I miss something or did John Heffron suddenly become funny between Las Vegas and the Head to Head? And yes I agree with you, she'd of had a better chance again Ant.

Heffron has been funny throughout the show, just my opinion. Bonnie chose to try and get rid of a fairly strong comic instead of someone she can beat. I am sure everyone laughed, especially Tammy and Ant when Heffron came back and no Bonnie. I still do not have a pulse of who is going to win this, but I hope new material comes out during the show.

In the small bits that I saw, he never seemed to be comfortable on the stage or funny to me. I really thought he was going to implode last night from nerves and then he put down what I thought was one of the funniest sets from the remaining comics.

And I agree with you on the new material. I bet we hear Ant say the SF accent joke 10 more times before the shows over. Come on, we get it, you're gay, tell me something funny I don't know.

The next non-gay joke Ant tells will be the first. The guy just isn't funny. His idea of a set is to act like a fairy and hope people laugh.

Amen Spidey!! I wanted to scream last night when they got to the house and he said "every queen needs his castle". I have a sick feeling this season will become the "Ant and Tammy" show and what is with her crap about taking people out? NEWSFLASH Tammy : you are not a castmember on the Sopranos!!! you are Sicilian, we all get the picture!!!!!!

I too am tired of Tammy and the whole mobster bit. It is just like Ant and his same ol' stuff.

I thought he (John) was funny in Vegas. That said, I think part of his schtick is too come off a littel uncomfortable, and almost frantic on stage.

Looked a littel iffy in Vegas, but I didn't even mind some of the recycled jokes last night. Delivery was much better, jokes were still good.

Bonnie! What an idiot to shoot herself in the foot like that. She knew she had Ant in the bag, but she made it personal and tried to take down John because he challenged her and she thought they were friends. She couldn't recognize John's strategy for what it was-- a bad, follow the leaders strategy. Fortunately it worked for him.

You could tell immediately he was going to win the head to head. Bonnie has funny stuff (when it's not repeated) but in a crowd like that, they're going to pick the safer comic. John's feel-good- nostalgia material is a lot easier to get behind in a voting situation than is Bonnie's snarky, edgy stuff.

I SO wish Ant had gone. UGG, those damn producers who like to sabotage their shows with unfunny, annoying comics who play ONLY ONE NOTE!

If ant can get through a whole comic set without the help of san fransisco or scooby doo.

Also, I have to wonder about Tammy's "not having a voice". Caught the reply on Comedy Central over the weekend. She didn't seem real committed to giving the laundromat a try. Seems like she could have given it more of a shot. Hasn't she ever lost her voice doing standup and kept going on, giving it her all?

I have experienced that sort of "frog in the throat" voice loss myself. I have always just tried to keep talking and eventually, the voice comes back. Then again, I was not doing standup comedy, just having a phone conversation.

I really wanted Tammy to step up when Bonnie asked her, "Do you really want me to come after you?!"

I mean, Tammy, the tough Sicilian, just sat there and did nothing. If it were me, I'd say - bring it awwhhnn!

I feel cheated that I didn't get to see a Bonnie and Tammy showdown.
