A Lot or a Little?
The parents' guide to what's in this TV show.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that LOL: Last One Laughing is a Mexican game show with subtitles in which 10 comedians and entertainers try to make each other laugh in order to win money. The contestants are trapped in a room, and the last person that laughs wins one million pesos. Working off the top of their heads, the comedians joke about explicit and potentially offensive topics, including sex and bodily functions, as well as push the boundaries of what is acceptable in terms of sexism and homophobia. The comedians also use props and costumes, including fake penises and breasts. In other words, there's a lot of explicit content.

What's the Story?
In LOL: LAST ONE LAUGHING, host Eugenio Derbez gathers a diverse group of ten comedian/entertainers and lock them in a room together for six hours. The last person to get caught laughing will win one million pesos. It's a free-for-all as the comedians desperately try to crack each other up using costumes, props, and their own creativity, while Derbez watches from afar in order to eliminate anyone who so much as smiles the wrong way.
Is It Any Good?
There's a fun concept at the heart of this over-the-top series, which the show refers to as "an experiment." That seems right, because the experiment is mostly a failure. The comedians mostly come off as desperate for a laugh -- because they are! -- and they only pick the lowest hanging fruit for their material. It's a reminder that even professional comedians -- unless they're Robin Williams or that caliber of genius -- aren't always just funny off the top of their heads. Good jokes need time and craft to really pay off. Plus, there's an extra level of awkwardness that comes from the artificial set-up in LOL: Last One Laughing. It might have been funnier, not to mention more fun, to just watch these ten creative people get paid to hang out for six hours.
