A large group of attractive, funny people, who invest too much time into setting up a joke and not enough time into actually making it funny. Also, the premises of some of these jokes have heritage status. Facebook Anonymous Club? Touchy-feely cops? A translator for a teen speaking txt? There are a few clever gags, such as the line about turning a pedophile into a PDF file, but what magic there was was spoiled by somebody’s dad in the audience howling at every line. I mean, howling. The strange thing was that I could see these were funny people, they knew how to deliver material in a comic way. The material, though, seemed written for them by, well, maybe dad.
