Last Comic Standing: Paul Foot and Papa CJ are sent Packing!

This season of Last Comic Standing is proving to be pretty interesting so far. This week started out with Papa CJ talked trash about Iliza, even though she won the head to head last week. By the end of the night, he would still be talking trash as he carried his bags out.

There was a time waster with the comics washing cars. Other than seeing Paul get completely soaked, Ron G dancing with a patron, and Marcus running around in a bikini top, I don’t see what purpose this segment served. Yes, they are funny – hello, they are on the show! And, why did they not mention why Jim was on crutches?

The challenge was to go through Bed Bath & Beyond and find material for a prop routine. This proved to be most difficult. Even after seeing a small set by the King of Props, Carrot Top, most of the comedians just didn’t seem to understand. Papa CJ and my beloved Paul bombed terribly. Even Sean, who has been getting funnier each week, only seemed manic in his routine. Marcus had a funny bit with what appeared to be banana hammock tied around his waist and said it was for Tommy Lee’s…um…appendage. I liked Adam’s O.J. Simpson starter kit, but most of the comics just flailed around on stage. Jeff, whose name I keep forgetting because I just want to call him Jim (from The Office), ended up winning. He did a cut bit about reenacting favorite movies and it was funny.

Then came elimination time. I don’t know why everyone wanted to pick on Paul (I think he is hilarious), but he and Papa CJ tied for the most votes. He and Papa CJ had to choose one comic. Unfortunately, in the elimination booth, Iliza voted for Papa CJ saying, “Just getting you back for last week buddy.” So naturally, they chose her.

However, picking on the only remaining girl comic has not proved to be a good thing this season. Paul did a funny set, but seemed almost as nervous on stage as he did doing the prop set at BB&B. Iliza came out and killed the crowd – even the guys in the back admitted it (albeit begrudgingly).

I expected Papa CJ to bomb, but he came out blazing – killing the audience with his first joke, (“LA is the most beautiful part of Mexico I’ve ever seen”). However, he seemed to lose it at one point, went for dirty jokes, and then resorted to things we have heard at least twice.

Back in the back, the guys picked Paul to win (kiss of death) and of course, he got the lowest number of votes. Poor Paul – I am still laughing about the moist cake joke! Anyhow, I was thinking maybe Papa CJ had pulled it off, but no, Iliza got 62% of the vote.

I would think this would make her invisibly immune next week. She had kicked butt two weeks in a row – only the crazy would take her on next week.
