Documental thrives on it's strong premise of comedians trying to not laugh at each other, but gets less funny as each season lingers on. The psychology behind the show is quite fascinating. Some go the deadpan strait man route, some absurdist, some self-deprecating-there isn't one way to win. It's pretty apparent when a competitor is "trying too hard" to get a laugh, which is why many of the predictable props & costumes bomb hard in the later rounds. Overall, there's some funny moments and you're likely to have a couple favorite comedians that you are rooting for by the time that it's over.

This show is basically like silent library except the rules come where each contestant has to last four episodes, 6 hours each without smiling or laughing or else they end up getting one of three red flags until they get kicked out. They can do anything they want to each other, it can be a little dull sometimes but something new is bound to happen to keep the game going. Admission for each person cost $10,000. The winning prize is it's surprising 100k. Only one person wins at the end. Contestants are supervised from the room next-door from the host who created this game show. It's pretty enjoyable and entertaining I would recommend watching it with friends, family probably not so much. Some scenes are pretty gross.

I have watched 5 seasons of this so far and look forward to watching more. I have tried watching the Australian, Mexican, Indian, Spanish, German and Italian versions of this show and they are all terrible in comparison. The Japanese, although not known for comedy, do this show best. One major problem I find with the other versions is that they include kooky music and sound effects which make the shows unnatural. The awkward silences or sounds of in Documental add to the hilariousness.

Language is no barrier to laugher. Loved this show. I laughed so much. Definitely worth a look. 1st episode is just introductions but stick with it, it hots up from episode 2. Only problem is that it gets less funny as the end gets near and all the really funny ones get eliminated but hopefully the second season is better.
