I can't stand Crowd Control.
Crowd control takes standup comics and asks them to do crowd work with restrictions. And it actively makes the crowd work worse than it would be at any other venue.
The comics never know quite what to do with the shirt prompts and some of the stories are just not interesting or are very awkwardly told.
It just takes all the best parts of crowdwork and it makes them worse by forcing the comics to have awkward, stilted conversations with people who don't ever seem super into comedy shows.
Like on the last episode those two Christian girls acted like they were SO uncomfortable with someone making fun of their religion. Why would you go specifically to talk about religion and not be cool with comics joking about religion?
I hate to think they're wasting so much money on stars like Taylor and Gianmarco for a show that's just so bland when Dropout in general is so interesting.
Every time I see it I just wish it was a comeback of "play it by ear" or something.
