funny money
joeken2:
What does people think of funny money. Good premis but something is missing. If it was me maybe use a make me laugh type show. Some of the stand up is not good but that should get better. What does everyone think
DrBear:
It's not bad - not much of a game, though. And the entertainment value depends too much on the comics. Pardo's too excited for my taste. If you have three comedians, you shouldn't need a hyper host.

I think Pardo is a good host, it just sounds like he talking with a mouth full of marbles sometimes. The format is a is close to a dizaster, the only thing good about it is the bonus round (for some strange reason, I kinda like it). The show is not horrible, but not good either, I give it a 5.5 out of 10.

As I've said in other threads, the problem with this show is gonna be that the comics are gonna be too busy trying to get noticed by Dave or Jay to actually play the game in the best interest of the players...building up a joke and burning 20 seconds off of the clock is painful to watch, when it's worth the same 1 point that each of a quick series of rapid-fire gags is worth.
It's gonna flop hard and quickly.
Matt Ottinger:
I dunno. As an effort to move beyond traditional games, it's not a bad little comedy showcase. We're definitely in who-cares-who-wins territory, and as long as they don't alienate the game faithful too much with a show that's so dramatically anti-contestant, it might do allright.
I like the photo caption round a lot, and I wish they'd play more of them. Gives us a chance to see the comics compete against each other on more or less equal footing. I also like little things about the show -- a \"National Lampoon Vacation\" to the winner, scores kept in \"billions\" of dollars (reminds me of some of the cyberbuck net games), even Budd Friedman announcing. Pardo is trying WAY too hard, he reminds me a little of an over-caffeinated Ray Combs. Other than that it's a cute show.
