Most of them have no reaction whatsoever.

If you are a comedian never complain about your material not being good as it causes the audience to start to scrutinise it more and that causes more jokes to go over their head as they contimplate if the joke was funny or not.

“Barbie is about a plastic doll with big boobies” no its not.

[@blinksstayfresh2524]

He’s talking about the toy doll. The movie is based on the doll.

[@whyissy]

@@blinksstayfresh2524 barbie is based on real life. Yes The plastic doll stars in the movie. when jo koy was talking about Oppenheimer he was talking about what is was about but when he said what barbie was about all he talked about was a doll with big boobs and its not just about a doll with big boobs

STRONGLY doubt that, his jokes were brilliant - YOU are just not his target audience that night. Example, I don't find Katt Williams funny but IM not his target audience when he does his skits and shows. This show isn't for you it's for the actors, joking about fangirling them, reading a bad script having to imrpov is all brilliant but common people wont understand it since YOU are not the target. :)

[@duderdude4831]

@jacobburns3515 actually the jokes are for the home audience, not the actors. It's a tv show. The actors most don't like getting made fun of but everyone at home does.

You can tell how uncomfortable everyone was, there wasn't a lot of laughter, especially for his really bad jokes and like yeah. no.

[@MouseTheGoblin]

Did they superimpose a larger laugh audience? That’s real pathetic if they did, because it was much quieter when I watched it last time

[@marijayc]

So I don’t think anyone here is familiar with Jo Koy. If you’ve seen his shows you’d better understand his humor. If you haven’t, well, then of course you’d be at a loss and I get why you don’t get him. Keep on rockin’, Jo! Don’t mind the ignorant hype.

[@will_sketch]

It's disappointing the way this went down. Jo Koy is legit funny as hell. I can tell by this performance he was nervous and frankly out of place. These aren't his type of jokes or his type of crowd. A fish out of water. Edit: He legit made DeNiro chuckle. Screw everyone else. That's a win.

[@poppygibb4916]

He bombed. He was truly shit. All he did for the barbie movie was tear it down. They wherent jokes, they where slurs.

[@terrencegotg]

true agree, plus they probably only gave him a short time for him to practice and prepare. but he's really a funny guy and his jokes as well

All jokes aside....I found this guy hilarious.loosen up people....he was funny

[@samdlt63]

The audience for the most part acts like they are too fucking big to be to roasted by a aspiring Filipino comedian. You can tell they were holding their laughs. Comedy is a difficult task in acting especially if you are in a room of "made"people. Yes the script didn't had its punch but there's a lot of comedians who gave poor jokes before and they still got their laughs simply because they were seen as "superior". This audience is so tight wad.

[@NN-rn1oz]

The good, the bad, and the Jo Koy.

[@tarsschley5771]

He is funny on Netflix, on stage, doing his bit. I think he just didn’t have a whole comedic character off the stand up comedy stage developed enough to do an awards show.

On JoKoy's defense, like he said, he only had 10 days to prepare, which means no one wanted the gig. Howard Stern made a good point about this.

How is that in his defense? If he couldn't do it, he shouldn't have done it.

[@adamfirdaus5194]

He have 10 days man. 10 whole days and couldn't even make a decent joke. He should only stick to Filipino, accents and his story jokes

I agree! He did fine with short notice. If you can do better, why they didn't select you?

The irony of this as this is tame compared to Ricky Gervais ripping them apart for years and getting laughs

[@jcwarner90]

Ricky was brutal, but honest, which is why people can't help but laugh. This was just mean trying to be edgy.

[@celletoronto]

Ricky Gervais had the advantage of really being in the Hollywood circle (and having the time to develop material and not giving a f*ck). Jo, on the other hand, shouldn’t have taken the gig - his style of jokes was to make fun of himself, his son, and his mother. Being inexperienced with hosting, he probably said yes thinking it was like winging it as a stand up and an opportunity to branch out/represent Asians. BUT he doesn’t have enough experience in that world and know enough people in the audience to crack Gervais-level jokes. This is probably the first time he’s had to work with writers where he does not have the final say in the material that gets used. Add to that the fact that it usually takes months to test material in smaller audiences before bringing it to a stadium. I feel bad for him. Hopefully he’ll be able to shake it off and use it as material for his future Netflix specials.

[@hblee88]

Jo Koy should've known that he got called only TEN DAYS before that gig because NO COMEDIAN WANTED TO.

[@Jimboreeee]

He's like school in summer. No class.

[@aethei8560]

It just wasn’t it. It’s literally 2024, like, can we stop with the unfunny jabs at women?? The Taylor Swift comment? The comment about women’s bodies? The weird one about the Barbie movie and breast? Good god, I never felt more second hand embarrassment from just listening to how forced the laughter was. Awful script, if it was scripted, and if it was improv then next time just stick with a script that’s been written and edited by actual women.
