When I saw that Youtube was doing a “comedy” week I was so excited! I looked to the heavens and yelled, “THIS HAS FAIL WRITTEN ALL OVER IT” And man youtube does not disappoint. 

Youtube will never have to do a Stars “Where Are They Now” show because sadly they are still in the LA area trying to convince people they are talented. Calling this waste of a Google hangout a “comedy week” is an insult to people who love comedy. 

And I’m sure these youtube stars are funny to PreTeens and kids who don’t have cable, but this “Comedy Week” seems to be youtube trying to make some extra money off their partners. Or, and this is a sadder point, maybe the people at Youtube truly think the creators of “Historical Rap Battle” and the “Smosh” idiots are true comedic geniuses. If so then there is a deeper problem here. 

 Youtube “Comedy” Week? Nah, should be titled Youtube: “Live Comedy Is Hard”, I say that mainly because, Pete Holmes, Kyle Kinane, and Hannibal Buress killed it. It was great seeing live stand up comedy on youtube. Maybe the people at Youtube should have  tried to showcase more stand up and sketch comedy on their “Comedy Week” instead of trying to get Jenna Marbles more video views.  

When you upload a video on youtube they give you a few categories to file your video under. And what  Youtube’s “Comedy Week” has show us is that next time “Epic Meal Time” and company want to upload a video instead of putting it under “Comedy” they should scroll down and file their videos under “Entertainment” because even if its funny it doesn’t mean it’s comedy, OR that you’re a comedian. Sorry Not Sorry. 

My Final Verdict: Youtube Comedy Week. A swing and a miss.
