#PunchlineTV: Episode 016 (July 31, 2017) Host: Marc Istook The Women's Team (2-1): Taylor Tomlinson Esther Ku Kelsey Cook The Men's Team (1-2): Trey Elliot Kabir Singh Steve Hofstetter
I like this format to a point, because it does harken to the British panel show kind of style such as Mock the Week, which is almost always hilarious no matter who is on. However I think there are two things that this format could benefit from. The first being getting rid of this ridiculous "men vs women" crap. Make the teams diverse and give nobody a reason to vote for one over the other aside from the actual humor. The second being that this show needs to be a longer format with the same number of games to allow these comedians to actually banter. What I saw in this episode was quick one-liners from established, yet not house-hold named, comedians trying to one up each other with just one sentence. The reason that British shows like Mock the Week, or QI, or 8 out of 10 Cats works is that they allow the comedians to actually interact with each other. We're missing this here just because we're trying to get a quick, sometimes undeserved laugh. These people are professionals doing what they do best, so let them act accordingly and give them the time. Especially if this is supposed to be a competitor to late night talk shows. The best part about those shows are the unscripted moments. Let them happen organically and play the games around them.
I'm here thanks to Steve and I'm not disappointed. Steve killed it, even thou a couple of the others seem to bomb I still laughed nearly all the way through . I agree on the voting thing thou I understand it's people at home voting but the scores wasn't tying up with what I thought it or the audience reaction. hope to see Steve back on here again soon.
I've watched a few of these episodes now and I'm almost convinced the voting is bu!!$h#t. There have been way to many times where the votes did not match with crowd response. The final punchline of this episode for example, crowd was practically crickets and yet was scored at 71... And there are multiple similar instances on this episode and other episodes as well
Georgiaboy 9009 Guarantee it's because you have a bunch of SHW feminists sitting at home screaming "MEN CAN NOT WIN!!! THEM SEXIST PIGS!!!" Especially when Steve told that abortion joke xD
The only way to make this game fair would be to have Taylor vs the other five. Taylor still wins, but it would be a lot closer (not counting the last round, Esther is the only one on either team that said anything funny).
Taylor, Kelsey, Steve, great lineup. To make education fun, the losing team should be able to steal if they can CORRECTLY add up the winners' score in their heads before it's announced.
I think the final round scoring is BS because of video lag anyone voting on the website will have their numbers delayed, as you can see the number jump from 80 to 60 for one of the mens punchlines. the 80 was probably the score for the previous punchline but the video lag meant the studio would have seen it the way they did. but it's all for fun anyway.
Trey Elliot and Kabir Singh in my opinion bomb/tank big time with their ,,racist wanna be funny'' shit. Honestly I dont think its just my opinion coz most of the times even the audience just kept silent. Maybe their own sets are funny I dont know... but in this they were not. And wtf is with that ,,Score the PUNCHLINE'' ? Kabir gets laughs of half the ppl in the audience and gets 64.... Taylor gets literally no laughs and gets 62 ? really ? Then Ester talks about Joey from friends being gay someone just says OHHHH in the audience and that alone gives her 71.... wtf is this stupid shit seriously guys.
this wasn´t fair, they shoudn´t make men and woman teams, one team will always have simpathy votes. in this case when one of the girls bombed they still had great scoring. they should mix the teams so this doesn´t happen.
The views for episodes with Steve in them will be better than the rest... He's got pull on CZcams and he's insanely funny. I just wish they weren't trying to straight rip off @midnight ... Hardwick put a lot of effort and energy into that show. It did well for a while. I don't need to see a copy cat filler. Just my personal opinion. You guys need to format the show in a different matter.
The ego of the host to try to "punch up" every joke from six great comedians who are racing against the clock! Watch Dara O Brian during a Wheel of News segment on Mock the Week and learn what the host should be doing during a rapid fire round! Save your "zingers" for the intros and outros...
Taylor Tomlinson brought me here
Fact
Same here
Same
Same here
Exactly 😂
I'm a simple woman, I see Taylor and I click.
Preach
I'm a simple man, me too.
Steve Hofstetter and Taylor Tomlinson were hands down carrying their respective teams
"Cheating boyfriends, TREY."
-Taylor Tomlinson
Here because of Taylor! She killed it and I got Steve as 2nd funniest
kabir just made it awkward lmao
Taylor carried that first round hard core
1. Taylor
2. Steve
3. Kelsey
4. Trey
5. Esther
6. Kabir
1. Steve by a mile
2. Taylor in her own league above the rest
3. Kelsy tied
3. Trey tied
5. Esther, meh...
6. Kabir the worst by light years
what was Kabir trying to do? laughing at his own unfunny punchlines
As soon as I clicked this, I said Taylor vs. Steve! This is gonna be epic.
Respect to both, same comedy team.

+
Donut right here man.
Yup
I am
Yep.

This is great feedback and whoever's in charge better come read the CZcams comments.
This. This and 5his
You lost me at harken. You pretentious turd burglar.
I’m so glad you brought up mock the week! I feel like seeing the host’s legs took away from it somehow, though.
Taylor dunks on witty comedy I bet she's fun af to chill with
Steve is the best part of the show by far
Steve Hostetter is a man that more than deserves more fame that he has.
Uses of a shock bracelet.
Trey - "Every time the girls tell a, a joke that bombs."
*bombs, ironically
Steve, Jim Jeffries, and Jimmy Carr on the same team. Enough said.
I know literally only Steve Hofstetter
me too
Steve has tweeted about Taylor Tomlinson several times too.
Check out Taylor Tomlinson bro
I saw Taylor Tomlinson...me click
I'm here thanks to Steve and I'm not disappointed. Steve killed it, even thou a couple of the others seem to bomb I still laughed nearly all the way through . I agree on the voting thing thou I understand it's people at home voting but the scores wasn't tying up with what I thought it or the audience reaction.
hope to see Steve back on here again soon.
Steve is a god, and Taylor is also exceptional. Hope she's got a channel, I've been following Steve for years
I'm here only because of taylor
Steve Hostetter sent me! XD
Planned parenthood alternative 4 sure the funniest punchline!
I've watched a few of these episodes now and I'm almost convinced the voting is bu!!$h#t. There have been way to many times where the votes did not match with crowd response. The final punchline of this episode for example, crowd was practically crickets and yet was scored at 71... And there are multiple similar instances on this episode and other episodes as well
it's not just the audience voting though.
I voted on a live episode and the website never seemed to match what was given on the actual show
Georgiaboy 9009 Guarantee it's because you have a bunch of SHW feminists sitting at home screaming "MEN CAN NOT WIN!!! THEM SEXIST PIGS!!!" Especially when Steve told that abortion joke xD
Steve needs his own show
The only way to make this game fair would be to have Taylor vs the other five. Taylor still wins, but it would be a lot closer (not counting the last round, Esther is the only one on either team that said anything funny).
Kabir Singh... really dude? What single funny answer did you manage to give? THIS IS YOUR CRAFT AND YOU FAILED US! lol
That SJP line of Taylor's deserved more.
Taylor killed it, even the men found her funny....high praise!
For sure she is a rare talent
Even the men?? Wow, that's incredible 🙄😑
was funny but scoring seemed SUPER off
Taylor, Kelsey, Steve, great lineup. To make education fun, the losing team should be able to steal if they can CORRECTLY add up the winners' score in their heads before it's announced.
Weird seeing Taylor not being the host... the algorithm seeing I was watching after midnight brought me here.
Guy in the middle is so pissed lol
I plan on being Taylor's next boyfriend/future husband
GET IN LINE BUDDY
Steve and Taylor were the only funny people on this show. But still think the guys should have taken it despite the cringe worthy Indian dude
Hofstetter and tomlinson ruined the rest.
Taylor
That's it. That's the comment.
These punchlines are written ahead of time.
This is an excellent show! Died laughing!
Tayler all the way
Steve's in another league to the rest of them. Can we get Steve his own show already?
ya it is called laughs
I think the final round scoring is BS because of video lag anyone voting on the website will have their numbers delayed, as you can see the number jump from 80 to 60 for one of the mens punchlines. the 80 was probably the score for the previous punchline but the video lag meant the studio would have seen it the way they did.
but it's all for fun anyway.
Quarantine 😂😂is takingg me places

Spawn886 we just glad you watched it man. Appreciate that
I used to work at Outback and the conspiracy is true.
Came here because I love Steve's whit.
Taylor Tomlinson
this wasn´t fair, they shoudn´t make men and woman teams, one team will always have simpathy votes. in this case when one of the girls bombed they still had great scoring. they should mix the teams so this doesn´t happen.
i would want to see Steve vs Esther solo :P
Steve ftw!
Taylorrrrr🔥🔥💜🤩🤩
well steve brought me here so i think hes the biggest winner in a way
I like a show that’s show in the corner of a room.
18:49 how on earth did that only get 60?
Cue cards?
Edit: Reminded me of the last election 😂
Taylor looks so displeased with her teammates lmaoo
Steve's Planned Parenthood joke should have given him at least 95, easily.
I've never heard of this show nor seen it before. just knew of its existence from the advertisement on channel 9 earlier in the day.
12:13 Me, when I think the game is rigged-against-me-personally (but turns-out I'm just hungry)
This is the type of show she’s hosting now lmfao
Taylor is special.
Young as Hell, Taylor Tomlinson
4:31, the first vote was honest, the second was threatened.
I can't believe no one thought the shock bracelet was for Harvey Weinstein' s parole. Not an ankle monitor -- more fitting placement ya know....
In that last section the votes definitely don't match the laughs.
Did anyone get unconfortable during the guys turn last round. It was like all races jokes or things these men shouldn't be saying
I came for Taylor Tomlinson ❤
I have seen it many times when a host announces the women all the ladies in the audience gets so exited like they are one playing and are going to win
Okay? It’s kinda the point. I don’t see how you don’t get this
Ginger Luigi With No Moustache Shoving gender bias in everything can never be a point.
Taylor and Steve against everyone else :)
Steve brought me here too
3:51, that would sell.🤔
Taylor Tomlinson held it down and Esther Ku is attractive.
How can they tabulate the votes within seconds of finishing the round?
Here for Taylor Tomlinson.
Kabir Singh isn’t very funny.
Kinda cringey.
5:25 "Why is he naked" = 4 words not 3...
Steve is the only one here who's actually funny
Taylor pretty much won this by herself.
POINTS!
Thomlinson you're better than this...
I liked this show better when Chris Hardwick hosted and it was called At Midnight.
This seems a lot like @midnight
omg !
Kelsey Cook brought me here
seriously great show and you guys need to keep steve hes the funniest by far
How can a simple star shape be misconstrued to be a pentagram?
Came to watch Steve, stayed for the most obvious bias scoring i've seen in a game.
Taylor brought me here too
i want Taylor's jacket
and I'll take the rest of her
~ Would watch Fox just for Steve, otherwise avoid the network. Will this be a regular show now, trying to find it on Spectrum ~ Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
Now we know what happens when they let Fox take @Midnight and make it boring.
it was 5 againts steve
(8:28) "....She shall forever be known as what:" Seinfeld's momma.
The views for episodes with Steve in them will be better than the rest... He's got pull on CZcams and he's insanely funny. I just wish they weren't trying to straight rip off @midnight ...

HAHAH STEVE!! still bashing united.. thats fucking great.
Fun
Also known as Steve and his less funny friends
Joshua Blair Fucking roasted
14:56
What's with the Booger on the Host's lip?

Taylor is such a babe! Yowza! Hubba hubba ding ding!
