Episode 1 - Owls, Tramp Stamps and Sexy Secrets [Discussion]

[travislopes]

The funniest stand-up comics from across the country take on dating, tattoos, owls, sex, the British, Facebook, Starbucks, Cosmo, and creepy, creepy dudes. So very creepy.

Watch and download here. (http://revision3.com/rofl/standup/)

[nextgenxbox]

Thumbs up. Length is good. I like how it's split up. Get in, get out with each comic. And I like the "pop up video" style menu.

I shall be watching this show.

And remember, everyone, let's provide feedback on the SHOW. Because everyone's comedic tastes are different, some may think today's show sucked.

So, provide feedback on the actual SHOW and not the comedians.

[chuckles]

I think it could be a little longer. Something along the lines of 30 minutes. But that is just me. :)

-chuckles-

[eminemdrdre00]

Feedback in 23! (Gotta give it 7 mins to DL!)

[xibalba]

Great show, definately a keeper. 30 mins would be good.

[travislopes]

I think it could be a little longer. Something along the lines of 30 minutes. But that is just me. :)

-chuckles-

I completely agree. 30 minute episodes would be a lot better.

This show is definitely a hit or miss. Although, this episode was good, the next could be bad due to tastes in comedy.

[dirtyhat]

I'm into comedy so I'll be into this... the only thing that kinda bugged me was the difference in audio (quality/level), but it's understandable coming from different venues.

#1 have a vagina
#2 nothing blocking vagina
#3 ssshhhhhhhh.... <~~~~ lol so true

[PeppersGhost]

It was alright, pretty funny but couldn't see myself watching this regularly.

[buzzbros2002]

I was worried about Rev3 when JV's world started, mainly worried about the integrity. While this may not be much technology related, it's nerdy enough for my approval!

I think a good idea for this would be to have some of the people at the revision 3 offices do some of the stand up on a special episode or something. Just please, for the love of god, don't have Jim Louderback on stage without Martin Sargent in the crowd somewhere! Also wouldn't be bad to have some Google employees talk about their company's plan for world domination.

[dirtyhat]

I used this as a little break between studying so 15 mins was about right... about 1 min left I already was going back to the books... so a 30 min would have just been background noise for me.

BTW i think the last woman didn't get the tigger joke that guy told her...

[travislopes]

I think a good idea for this would be to have some of the people at the revision 3 offices do some of the stand up on a special episode or something.

I thought that was going to be on Chuck's Variety Hour. :D

[eminemdrdre00]

It was OK, but I didnt really laugh. Probably wont be checking out this show next week.

[Quence]

I agree with everyone saying it should be 30 minutes.

The only problem I had is that a few comedians I really liked, and was disappointed when they were cut off for the next one. It would be great to keep the same amount of comedians and just give them each another joke or two.

[PeppersGhost]

BTW i think the last woman didn't get the tigger joke that guy told her...

That's what made it funny.

[chuckles]

I thought that was going to be on Chuck's Variety Hour. :D

That was suppose to be an April Fool's joke. But it never materialized.. Perhaps next year.

-chuckles-

[geeksunny]

Really digging this first episode. The presentation was very nice, and started right into the content with no nonsense fluff to pad the ends making it longer or anything. The format reminds me of the "ComicRemix" thing they do on Comedy Central on Friday Nights or whatever. Clip after clip after clip.

The show could be a little longer but its not like its too short or anything, either.

The content was nice too. I wasn't laughing at everything but I did laugh. Thats how a show like this really should be.

[travislopes]

Show suggestion: It would be cool if you guys at a domain like ROFLTV.com. That way, during the show, in the title before each comic, you could show a link like rofltv.com/Jf8o where when you go to it, it goes to that clip in full.

[Shinku]

Ehh, wasn't a fan. Was a good length but I didn't really find any of it particularly funny, the guy with the cleaning your computer tips and the guy talking about the Brits were particularly unfunny. Nice idea for a show though, maybe it'll improve, might watch again.

[myketuna]

I liked the show. Some of the comedians I didn't really like, but this show has potential. I laughed here and there, I'm not gonna lie and say I didn't to look cool or something. Some funny stuff in there. Maybe one day the show will make me laugh more.

[gravylookout]

I like this new show. The length was just right. I can pop in and watch a few minutes of good comedy without feeling like I have to make a commitment when I start watching. Keep it up and I'll keep watching.

[Guytheninja]

I'm not sold yet. This show reminded me of JV's World in two ways. (And no, I don't hate JV's World, not yet anyways)

1. It has potential, but I think there is room for improvement. For instance, how about making the individual stand-up portions longer? I just can't get into the comedic groove in that short amount of a time.
2. I also think it needs work. I thought half of the comedians were somewhat amusing, and and half of them were not. I didn't ROFL at any time in this show; I snickered from time to time.

I'll give this show two more tries like JV's World, but given the types of comedians and humor presented, I'm afraid that I fall outside of this show's target audience.

[dirtyhat]

1. It has potential, but I think there is room for improvement. For instance, how about making the individual stand-up portions longer? I just can't get into the comedic groove in that short amount of a time.

I'm completely opposite... I'm glad it's short clips... different variety of topics, instead of one long topic from an individual.

[crazymanzach]

This new show rocks. I've never heard of any of these comedians, and most of them are really great.

Chris Porter is my favorite. Apparently he was on "Last Comic Standing".

If you liked his set, check this out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LR_ZQnyGv9k

[DJ Silent]

Like the show look forward to more, though the guy in the green shirt totally stole Ron Whites material.

[samureye]

I had to comment after this second comedian's set. There's no way spacebook is nearly as funny as the laughter I hear. There's some laughtrack in there, has to be.

*Back to show*

[samureye]

I'm into comedy so I'll be into this... the only thing that kinda bugged me was the difference in audio (quality/level), but it's understandable coming from different venues.

#1 have a vagina
#2 nothing blocking vagina
#3 ssshhhhhhhh.... <~~~~ lol so true



ROFL. That guy was a bit nervous but really funny.

[samureye]

This is going to be annoying, I can't help but comment as I watch. The toilet wizard guy is great. How do we vote to see more from certain people? There needs to be a digg-style element to this show so you know who people want to see.

[samureye]

Okay, I really like standup and I love this show. Instead of the 30 min episode, how about 1 Monday and on Friday? I like it, is all I can say, but I don't get the quote thing before each comedian, which is not major.

[boldfire]

I really like the look and length of this show! This weeks comics didn't really do it for me but I'm sure in weeks to come there will be some I like. I've never been fond of American stand up personally, so if you can dig down in your archives for some British stuff now and then I'd appreciate it :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-weFBV7YmHA

Good show though and it has a lot of potential. This is the kind of show to expand Revision3's audience - not insulting shockjocks.

[kzap]

I think the leghnth is good but they should have less acts, so each one can be longer.
At the moment it seems to be just one joke per act, maybe it's for copy right reason like they want you to pay to watch the whole thing but I'd prefer longer clips.
Still good show I shall be watching for the next couple of weeks, hope they can sort the sound out though.

[kzap]

Yea I perter UK stuff to but I knew it would be US comedy going into it so I couldn't really complain.
I think comedy is very geographical you normal prefer people in your area, so a wider section of act would be good.
Marcus Brigstock anybody?

Russell Howard is a geek too so he would fit really well with the Rev3 audience.
Also what about some of Jeff Cannata's stand up acts I'm sure people would love to see them.
Not that I want to exclude any new audience members, although I do think this site should keep it's geek roots.

[SirPopey]

I would say less people, longer segments and a tad longer show, maybe 20/25 mins. I would say to try and vary the types of comedy, this show was quite good in it's mix so definitely keep that, don't go down the route of having geek humour for geek humour's sake please. But otherwise it's a great start, it's restored a tiny bit of faith in Revision3 for me so that's good.

This one's definitely a keeper.

Agreed though I do think geek humor would apply to the Rev3 audience but don't over do it. And more international stuff if you have it please.
I was wondering is all this just footage from an achieve you have inherited or did you go and shoot some of it.
It does seem to have an archivey feel to it.
Anyway longer clips! if you can get permission of course otherwise tell us.

[kzap]

the guy talking about the Brits were particularly unfunny.
Yea I found him quite racist and insulting, it's not cool to pick on brits when they're not even there.
It wasn't even funny all he was doing was swearing at and insulting people who weren't even there.
Although I could probably forgive that oversight as everything else was good.
Not sure it will be something I watch every week it depends on the next couple of episodes.

[pfmbsantos]

Great show, great comedians all around except that Mike Vecchione guy, that was just dumb and obnoxious.
Don't have any kind of problem joking with nationalities, races, sexuality, etc, it just wasn't funny.

[rabidbadger]

Eh, not a huge fan yet. I was hoping it wasn't gonna be a "stand up, stand up" clone with one joke per comic. Maybe down the road you can give fewer comics more time per episode.

I did lol a few times, though. So I'll keep watching.

[chuckles]

That is the thing, you have to roll on floor... just simply lol is not gonna cut it. Try rolling on floor while watching. I bet you will find it that much better.

-chuckles-

[claret8211]

Seems like a lot of people would have liked it to be around 30 minutes and I am in the same boat. Like some others said, glad to see the pop up video type transitions. Finally, I liked that I knew some of the comedians so I was excited to see them, and also be introduced to some new faces. Infinitely better than last weeks new show....

[thing2]

Great stuff - i could DEF. watch 30 mins. of this each Monday.
Very well done.

[tromoly]

Downloading now, watched a couple minutes in the embedded and it's looking good, hope that the whole show is great.

BTW, was Film Riot supposed to be released this week or next week? Still looking forward to that one.

[Nitrus]

I loved it. Thought Kyle Grooms was very good.

I think it should be longer though.

Have you ever been told you look like WWE Superstar MVP?

[tromoly]

Just finished watching, overall I liked it. The guy who talked about Starbucks was awesome, my brother works at one and I swear that I've had almost the exact same conversation with him about sizes and stuff, the "computer" guy was funny as well.

IMO, the show may benefit a bit from having half as many comedians and allowing each a few more jokes, but overall it's started out well, after a bit of maturity/settling in it should really shine.

[xibalba]

Unfunny and I have heard that joke before but could have swore another comedian told it. So one or the other stole it.

[MrPopular]

I think The show is awesome.

As for time. It seems like the perfect amount. I can see the show changing depending on the material they get.

But much praise laughed many times!!!

That seems to be the general consensus too, I just wonder if there is a reason why the clips are so short, copyright? I'm not sure, but if they can longer would be better.

[winsucker]

Loved it!

Tnx guys. It's a good show.

[sully213]

Winner winner chicken dinner!

Great show, great format, and the comics were funny too. Show length is good. It could stay where it's at, but maybe just a little bit longer, in the 20 minute range. I think 30 is too long, 15 mins might be a bit too short, but not far off the mark. Much better than that JV's World or whatever crap that was.

[dayneman1]

I liked the show overall. The thing with comedy its hit or miss with people. That's why i like these short little clips, so if you like one person you can just go look up more of there stuff. It would be cool if we could vote for one of the comedians from this episode to get a 30 min episode from that person.

[aaronsaund]

As soon as I was starting to laugh and get in a cheery mood because that's what comedy does, it cuts off the comedian and goes to the next person. The individual segments should be longer and the entire episode should be extended. Overall I'm excited to see more episodes and I'm glad this is on Rev3!

[MinutNudler]

I really liked the show, but please. Stop with the fake laugh-track. Not every crowd sounds the same, and it's nice to hear the actual response from the audience. Also. The electronic voice saying ROFL sounds kind of annoying, but that might just be me :)
I'm not trying to be a douche or anything. I really liked the show. Especially the starbucks bit :D

Starbucks may have been the funniest part, then 3 things to please your man, then the liquefy your hard-drive bit.

That made me happy, I love this show...great up lift to monday mornings.

if your going to talk about british stand up at least pick someone good, Lee Evans and Jack Dee are a lot funnier than him, though he can be quite funny on mock the week

and i really didn't like this show, didn't make me laugh once.

[krishnancc]

ok show, some funny bits some not ... will watch again

[tokenuser]

ok show, some funny bits some not ... will watch againI find thats the way with most comedians I see on TV, so its not surprising in this medium too.

[paolorooftop]

Hey!
My name is Paolo, and I work for RooftopComedy, we produce ROFL for Revision3, we're really stoked to be on Rev3, and I want to thank all of you for all the feedback, praise, concerns, etc you had for our first episode!

About show length, we're flattered that some of you guys want a longer show, the current time was an arbitrary time set, if you guys want, we may lengthen the show!

How do we vote to see more from certain people? There needs to be a digg-style element to this show so you know who people want to see.

That's a great idea, we're exploring how we could make something like that work technically.

I've never been fond of American stand up personally, so if you can dig down in your archives for some British stuff now and then I'd appreciate it :D

[miss-bella]

I think The show is awesome.

Yeah that's exactly what I thought too. Very entertaining and just the right amount!

[THaToNeGuY]

awesome show, i want more.

[dvdman98]

Good concept, well produced,, and out the gate strong. 15min to 20min max, you seem to have us wanting more you don't need to gorge us with 30min. It's good enough to fill a break or a bus ride.

Looking forward to the next release.

[andarnold]

love the new show, funny stuff.

[krishnancc]

Forgot to add that the length of the show is just right :)

[krishnancc]

I find thats the way with most comedians I see on TV, so its not surprising in this medium too.

I agree even the best comics have some bad jokes, but i found they did a good job on this episode.

[Bret]

found it pretty entertaining. Good show. Especially in comparison with JVs world lol.

[chrispcade1]

I like the idea.

Get a host you cheap bastards! Hire a comedian too! Or hire back Martin Sargent!

Way too short (yes I know bandwith is expensive).

Keep it going and make it explicit so you don't have to censor language.

I really like that most of the comedians were new to me.

[nextgenxbox]

I don't think the show needs a host. At all. It's not about the host, it's about the comedians.

[kurai]

I saw Matt Braunger open for Whitest Kids U Know when they were in NYC back in January, he is absolutely hilarious he had us all in tears

[sugarsickness]

I liked it enough, not sure if I'd want longer though. I think the one joke per comic is fine for fifteen minutes but if it's longer I'd personally probably want it to be less comics doing longer sets.

[tkswartz]

good length. the premise of the show is the weeks best stand up jokes so making it longer would just add lower quality material imo. its perfect for a sit down and a quick laugh.
that last girl was hilarious, and i think the whole joke was her not taking it the way he meant it... which is what made it so damn funny

[tokenuser]

I dont think longer is any good.
I almost think shorter but two shows per week would be ideal.
This is the sort of podcast you can watch when you have a couple of minutes free on a bus - and there aren't that many of those out there.

[cabster21]

Okay, read through the comments here are my thoughts:

I don't think it needs a host, I hate shows that bung someone in for the sake of it.

I like rooftopcomedy, and I like this show. Will watch again although here are my bad points; I understand most of the comedians are going to be from the US, but "ROFL brings you hilarious standup comedy from around the world" kind of says different, at least one act from somewhere else each show.
I didn't find all the comedians funny, but that's nothing bad. However the last guy Mike Vecchione was pretty piss poor. It's probably funny if you're American, but it wasn't taking the piss out of the way the British do things, which would have been funny, it just seemed pointless. And I was left thinking "What a fucking piece of shit" Mike that is, not the show. Usually it's best to target the comedy to the viewers (which it probably was live), so leaving clips like that out wouldn't go a miss. I mean how would an average American like a Chinese comedian stating how crappy their president is, or the weakness of the $, to a Chinese audiance all laughing? It wasn't done it a comedic fashion. Anyway I think I've said enough.

Oh but I would say Kyle Grooms was the funniest.

[jsc315]

Interesting show. I will check it out for a while to see where this show goes.
As for my thoughts about the show.
I personally did not find it funny but that's just me. What i would like to see is longer sets of a few comedians instead of a bunch of single jokes from a large line up of random comedians. Sometimes it takes a little while to get into the comedian to understand what they are doing and what is funny. To just have a single joke for a comedian really isn't giving them the fair chance and it may not even be there best material of that night.
I do like the idea and the premises of the show so i am willing to check it out for a while.

[kzap]

I dont think longer is any good.
I almost think shorter but two shows per week would be ideal.
This is the sort of podcast you can watch when you have a couple of minutes free on a bus - and there aren't that many of those out there.
True but even if it is long as long as your PMP* (portable media player) or laptop can remember were you got up to then you can watch one segment at a time, even if they are longer bus rides arn't that short.


* I refuse to use the brand name, and MP3 player is a really old term now as they play more than just mp3s

[xfuuey]

Cool show...pretty fun. I think the length is OK. It could be a lil bit longer, but it's just whatever when it comes to that.

[spinney]

I really like this show I think the length is perfect as well. It is obviously going to be based on your comedic tastes so each episode could be hit or miss.


By the way that guy talking about british people wasn't fun at all. He was probably the only person I didn't like on this weeks show.

[kzap]

Yea I didn't like that comic either, I don't mind people taking the Mick out of us (the British) if they actually have a point (and our funny) he just seemed to be a tad racist (is that the right word) and I found it insulting not funny, I mean what was the joke supposed to be, I didn't see one it was just a long ranting hurling abusing at people who weren't even there to defend themselves.
He started by insulting the fact that someone called the country "Great Britain" now either he is a very stupid and doesn't know that A: that is the actual name of the country not the person being pretentious B: That most people in the US are descendant from the UK. Or he knew this and was just taking a cheap shot.
English comics do sometimes take the Mick out of the US but not like that, not just hurling abuse around.
But apart from that, shall we say, slight over sight it was a good show and you can't blame an entire show based on one bad comic, as long as that doesn't happen too often I'm in.

[dusing]

I thought it was pretty funny, reminds of last comic standing - quick parts of of different comics.

They should partner up with some sketch/viral video producers and get first release on some stuff to suppliment the standup.

I'm subscribing and I can't see why I would stop watching.

[rsone]

Yea I found him quite racist and insulting, it's not cool to pick on brits when they're not even there.
It wasn't even funny all he was doing was swearing at and insulting people who weren't even there.
Although I could probably forgive that oversight as everything else was good.
Not sure it will be something I watch every week it depends on the next couple of episodes.

Not only not funny, but also incorrect. Britain is one of the few countries that doesn't use the metric system.

[triple110]

I chose 30mins because Revison 3 is one of the internet media sources that is replacing cable or satellite.

If I had my choice, I would offer episodes in both the current "clip" segments and episodes featuring 1 or 2 comic stand-up routines. The downside to "clips" is that some of the material and "ROFL"s are lost because I didn't see the rest of the show. This is especially noticeable with Avant-Garde comics. One of those "had to be there" moments.

Much of the psychology and sociology of stand-up comedy is the audience's reaction to both the comic and other audience members. Even if the material was hysterical, it may not get as many laughs if other audience members aren't laughing too.

Finally, from the 2 episodes I've seen, I will be continuing to watch further episodes. I love me some laughing.

[ranron]

I'm up for the longer the better; 30 minutes would be nice. That would perfect fit in the timeslots between shows on TV.

[cabster21]

Yeah I'd agree with that. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem people joking about the British. But that routine wasn't aimed at anywhere apart from America. Not everyone here is American.
I also found it funny he then says his grandparents are Italian. So he's not even American, and if Italy is that great... Go back!

And yeah like I said, I don't blame the show in anyway. Just a poor choice.
