I agree. (with the his whole set was not funny line.) I have RARELY found anything of his funny. He keeps repeating the same sentence over and over while flailing his hand over his head….there isn’t really anything in his writing that I find exceptionally clever or funny, with the possible exception of …”you can make biscuits, maybe” line. However, my brother thought he was hilarious and that Joe Machi was not……but last night was the1st time he’s seen either one of these comics.

That bugged me a lot too. I see Joe as kind of an Andy Kaufman type who chooses to live in that persona, but then he’ll throw you a curveball and put on a different face. It’s a higher level of comedy that went over their heads, apparently. Whatever — the best comedians to come out of that show were the ones who didn’t win.

HOWEVER I agree with everyone that Nikki is terrible (Though the judges like her so…), and Laughlin was simply not that funny. I even laughed more at Nikky than him.

Though I’d have rather seen a Laughlin, Rod Man, Machi final, I could have understood a Rod Man, Nikky, Machi final.

This is a horrible finale and Joe Machi deserves to be there. I’ll buy your shirt dude!
