COMEDY CLASS BY ÉRIC AND RAMZY
Comedy Class is back with the Absurd challenge.
The talented Laura Felpin is still here with us.
I love her. I'm such a fan.
-But we still have six comedians left. -Six, wow.
Two of them have a warning. Poulet de Feu and Appoline.
Mind you, a second warning means ciao, bye-bye.
We want the best of the best for the next challenge, Black Comedy.
Yes, but first, we want the best of the best from the Absurd challenge.
We just saw Camille, and I was wondering whether she deserves a warning.
-Does she deserve a warning? -No.
-No. Stop.
No, the sketch was smart.
It was funny, it was great. I love your character.
Thank you.
-Well done! -Bye, Camille.
Bye!
Their feedback was really nice. I didn't expect that.
We good?
This means "okay." This means "let's go."
-That means "bad." -This means "no." This means "wait."
Yeah, this means "stand by."
This means "call me."
This means "I'm crazy."
-Okay. "I'm crazy." -Or absurd.
Exactly.
-Ah… -…nne.
-Anne. -Boissard.
Anne Boissard to the stage.
-Anne! Anne Boissard! -Anne Boissard!
ANNE BOISSARD 33 YEARS OLD
Hello.
-Hello. -Hello.
Is Éric Antoine here?
-No? He's not coming? -No.
Okay. That's fine.
-What show is this? -Comedy Class.
Comedy Class, of course. I knew that.
What challenge is it?
-Absurd. -Absurd…
If I'd known, I'd have dressed accordingly.
Sorry, I was working on a dance routine.
-I'll show it to you anyway. -Good.
-Sound guy? -Yes?
I'll tell some jokes and we'll take it from there.
Let's stick to the plan.
There was no plan.
From the top. Three, four, music.
What's this beat?
The beat.
Hey, sound guy, I have a joke.
The last time I slept over at a bald guy's house,
I took a shower and there was shampoo.
That cracked me up.
Music.
RAMEZI I MISS YOU
My parents tell me how to raise my daughter,
but look how I turned out.
Absurd.
I have a joke. It's hilarious.
What did the sink… Wait.
Let me focus.
What did the sink say to the toilet? "You look flushed!"
I'm done.
-That was brave. -Well done, Anne Boissard!
You're revealing more of yourself each time you're on stage.
You seem more relaxed.
-What you attempted there was so daring. -Yes.
Your own comedy style shines through. It's fantastic.
It's a pleasure to see you flourish.
Well done. I have nothing to add. I loved it.
I wanted to see even more.
I wanted you to keep pulling things out from inside you.
What a weird thing to say.
-I wanted to see… -What did you want to see?
-I can make edgy jokes. -I see.
If we do that, we get canceled.
Anyway, well done. The idea was fantastic. You're so funny.
-Thank you. -Well done, Anne.
-I loved it. -Come on, say it.
I was happy. It was spot-on. It was good.
It was…
Come on. Be honest!
-Don't be afraid to express yourself. -It was incredible, crazy.
-Incredible and crazy. -Just like me.
Are you having a good time? This is cool, isn't it?
Let's carry on with the Absurd challenge.
Do you prefer Éric or Ramzy? On three. One, two, three.
Ramzy!
I didn't think they'd actually say anything.
-Who said that? -They all said, "Ramzy!"
-Really? You prefer Ramzy? -I heard Ramzy.
Yeah, me too.
That's normal.
I prefer Ramzy, too.
Me too.
Antek, ladies and gentlemen!
I've never been this motivated.
What I'm doing today is pretty risky.
Either it'll go well, or I'll get a warning.
ANTEK 33 YEARS OLD
Here's your risotto, sir.
I asked for a coffee.
Yeah, well, it's the same thing.
Does this situation seem familiar?
Have you ever found yourself looking for a solution?
With no ideas?
No charisma?
And no pants?
Music!
Hi, I'm Antek, founder and CEO of EIE,
Enough Is Enough!
Today in France, more than 300 million people go to restaurants every day.
They order a rare steak, but are served a well-done steak.
Enough Is Enough!
Every three minutes, more than 14.6% of the world's population
go to the hairdresser's just for a trim and leave with a well-done steak.
Enough Is Enough!
Yeah.
Enough Is Enough. The solution that can change your life.
I could give you millions of examples like these.
Millions.
Here, for example…
You, sir!
Do you let people walk all over you?
-Do you struggle to assert yourself? -Not really.
You're saved now.
You used to be a piece of shit.
But now, you're not, thanks to Enough Is Enough.
Enough Is Enough!
It's the philosophy that packs a real punch…
to the face.
Enough Is Enough. Why wait? Join us now.
Join us.
Join our family so we can all say together…
Enough Is Enough!
Well done.
-I bet you loved that. -It's right up my alley.
I bet you loved it.
Thanks for the sketch.
I really appreciated how original it was.
It wasn't a classic stand-up show with the usual punchlines.
Not at all.
I loved it.
-It was maybe a bit long. -Yeah.
-The "Enough Is Enough" concept. -I think you also had had enough.
-You'd had enough. -Yeah.
-I'd give him a warning. -But it was amazing.
That makes no sense.
-Well done, I loved it. -Thanks, everyone.
Bye! Thanks!
-Antek's sketch was great. -Yeah.
-Good job. -It was cool.
I don't have much feedback, I just loved it.
-Shut up. -No, you shut up.
You shut up right now.
I'm not scared. We women aren't scared. Shut up.
Let's move on to the next contestant, Violaine Henry.
I'm really stressed because the stakes are high with this challenge.
The possibility of getting a warning puts a huge amount of pressure,
because I could go home.
VIOLAINE HENRY 38 YEARS OLD
My neighbor is so stingy.
He's subscribed to an online video platform with ads.
Coming soon on Video Stream…
The blockbuster film, In Search of the Clitoris.
A thrilling adventure.
Violaine, be careful. The vegetation is super thick.
Definitely a feminist. It's hairier than a woolly mammoth.
Breathtaking action.
Put the vibrator down, Jimmy!
You have a family and kids. Don't mess with me!
-Relax. It doesn't have any batteries. -It doesn't?
In Search of the Clitoris, exclusively on Video Stream.
The streaming platform is amazing because it has international movies.
So I signed up.
That's all from me, thank you!
Violaine Henry, I didn't get it.
Not at all.
When you subscribe to a free version, it comes with ads.
Violaine played the ads.
She was showing the trailers that ran on the platform.
Okay.
It's true that the beginning was so fast that we didn't hear it.
I figured it out right away because I'm smart.
-But… -It went completely over my head.
As Laure just said…
-My name is Laura. -Laura.
-I didn't hear… -Laure, seriously?
-What? -Ramzette.
-It's Anne-Laure. -Anne-Laure.
I completely missed it, sorry.
They didn't hear half of it. They don't have their…
My hearing aid was off! Too funny!
-Well done. -Thanks, Violaine.
That was tough to do. They didn't get it at all.
I know I'll get a warning. It's obvious.
-Violaine was disappointing. -Yeah, that didn't work.
She's performing for herself, not for others.
Just coasting along.
Our other acts have potential, so this won't cut it.
There are only three left.
Who's your favorite so far?
Enzo!
-Enzo is good. -The first guy?
-Antek. -Yeah, Antek.
-Enzo. -Who?
-Poulet de Feu. -She was great.
We have another strong contender.
It's Tristan Pierre!
Absurd humor is my thing.
That can raise expectations. It's a lot of pressure.
I need to show that I can get to the final.
€50,000 is a pretty big deal!
Good evening.
TRISTAN PIERRE 25 YEARS OLD
There are 26 letters in the alphabet. I counted them.
That's the perfect number to coin all the words.
You're laughing, but imagine if tomorrow the "J" no longer existed.
We'd say "bon'our" instead of "bonjour."
"Hi, 'Ulien, are you coming to 'udo class today?"
"No, it's 'u'itsu today."
"My bad. When is 'ymnastics?"
-"You can't spell." -"No."
See? It's a nightmare. Imagine, no more "J."
You know Jul, right? Like Jul says, "The 'J'…"
-"Is the 'S'." -You fuckers.
So, imagine a world with no "J" and no "S."
How would the French Resistance have protected Jews with no "J"
from the SS with no "S"?
-"Be careful, David. They're after you." -"Who?"
"The…"
-"Who?" -"The…"
"I can see them, 'ust over there."
-"Who is it?" -"Run."
"They after you!"
"The 'ews!"
"Run."
-"Go 'outh." -"Where?"
"You know, north, ea't, 'outh, we't.
"Come with me, my child."
-"Where are we going, Dad?" -"'Outh."
-"Where?" -"Don't a'k que'tion', 'Eba'tien."
Thanks, bye.
Well done!
That worked so well. Fantastic.
I felt you were a little less engaged than last time.
I agree, Éric.
It wasn't what I wanted to see from him, but as the sketch went on…
In my opinion, it was… Hats off to you, sir.
-Seriously, well done. It was so funny. -Yes.
-I mean it. -I could watch it again.
-I laughed a lot. -I would laugh again.
-What am I even saying? -Yeah.
-I'm out of my mind. -You're blown away.
-Well done, Tristan. -Great stuff, honestly.
-Well done, Tristan! -Thank you.
Honestly, I was dying with laughter.
I disagree, that was a half-assed attempt.
I don't think he would deserve a warning.
His Carte Blanche made us laugh so hard.
Okay, but that's like expecting all your movies to be good.
That's not quite the case.
I'm kidding. Sorry, I feel bad.
-Welcome to Comedy Class. A Warning! -You get a warning.
Get out of here.
ABSURD
Next up, Appoline!
I have a warning, so I can't mess this up.
It's really do or die.
APPOLINE 21 YEARS OLD
I'm so happy to be here.
I wanted to tell you right away that I'm an open book.
That being said, there are two people I hate.
They're actually here with us tonight.
I'm talking about my feet. My little feet.
My feet are so ugly that they're on cigarette packets.
They make me uncomfortable and insecure,
but I'd still like to pay tribute to them.
So I wrote a song about them.
My little feet
Music!
They're twisted, they're hairy Yeah, they're pretty scary
They're so cracked it makes me sick No one will even give them a lick
They're gross, so many infections Old and full of imperfections
Yes, of course
I'm talking about my feet My feet, my feet!
Thank you.
-Thank you, Appoline. -Of course.
My feet, my feet
That was absurd.
Is it the kind of absurd humor that makes me laugh?
I'm not sure.
We were driving on an absurdity highway, and I could see it all coming.
I wanted you to take me for a walk down a little country lane.
-I don't know if I'm being clear. -It's beautiful.
Even if it was absurd, weirdly enough, I wasn't surprised.
-I don't know if it's… -Mature enough.
How old are you?
-I'm 21. -That's it. Damn, you're lucky.
One day, you'll be 34 and…
dealing with perimenopause.
Can't wait.
-Well done, Appoline. -Thank you.
Thank you, Appoline.
I loved singing my bawdy song. It's my country girl side coming out.
It's hard to know what's next because the feedback wasn't great.
I don't know what they'll say.
I have mixed opinions about Appoline.
I think she deserves a warning.
She already has one, Éric. If we give her another, she's going home.
I know, and that's why we're gonna think about it,
but you'll need to convince me.
Our final act is one of our favorites from the last round.
There's Julio Iglesias, and now there's…
He's handsome, he's charismatic and hilarious.
-Antony… -Giuliani!
Let's go.
I'm walking a fine line. It could be amazing, or a total flop.
I don't want to get a warning.
It's not going to happen.
I hope not.
Wow!
ANTONY GIULIANI 30 YEARS OLD
I'm coming.
Okay.
Maybe I got carried away with my ideas.
I don't even know anything about the Middle Ages.
Like…
Look at this guy, for example. I asked him to come.
And here he is.
No idea what to do, I swear on my mom's life.
Go for it, dude. Show off.
He won't stop.
Fuck, there's a band too. I forgot, sorry.
Okay.
Who are you guys again?
Boyz II Minstrel.
Boyz II Minstrel. I'm an idiot.
All right, let's go.
Can you play a little quieter, please?
Have you ever been on a date
and the lady doesn't look like her portrait at all?
Crazy, bro.
In the portrait, I see Eleanor of Aquitaine.
When I get there, it's Louis VI "the Fat."
Did you see Clovis' inauguration speech?
That pension reform thing was crazy. So messed up.
-He wants us to work until… -Stop!
How are you doing?
I've actually finished, I just can't move.
-Wow, Antony. -Very bold.
All these props for just three jokes?
All that effort?
What you did was so bad, but it totally worked.
The couple of jokes you told, because there were only two…
Literally.
They were so funny.
It's true! Honestly.
You need to have a lot of cojones to do what you just did.
They must be pretty torn up.
I imagine they're bleeding.
Not great, but definitely good.
It worked.
-Well done. -Antony Giuliani!
-Are we done? -We're done.
All right. To end the show,
-I suggest… -What should we do?
-Deliberate. -Let's go.
-Let's go to the deliberation room! -See you later, thanks.
ABSURD DELIBERATION
Well.
This is definitely not my favorite part of the show.
Mine either. There are still 12 of them, and we have a lot of warnings to give out.
No one is safe. Anyone could get one.
I think Appoline and Poulet de Feu are at serious risk.
If they get a second warning, you know what that means. They're out.
-I have an idea. -What is it?
Let's say it was Laura's decision.
-It's too hard to choose. -Yeah, it's difficult.
You were very insightful.
-You're so kind. -I gave my opinion, I didn't judge.
-Kind and insightful. -And annoying.
It's the way you speak that's the problem.
If he thinks I was an annoying woman, I did a good job.
ABSURD THE VERDICT
-Okay. -Okay.
There were two people on the chopping block
who already had a warning.
Poulet de Feu and Appoline.
If I get another warning, I'm going home.
We're going to give you the lowdown.
So then…
Appoline, you get another warning.
That means you have two.
We think you're a little too young.
You've got talent, but you need to develop it more.
Not in terms of humor, but experience.
It's plain to see.
Just like your beautiful young skin. It's also plain to see.
-She's jealous. -Stop, you're making me blush.
Appoline, you're leaving the competition.
-Well done. -Thank you.
We hope to see you again.
Thanks.
Wait, there are more warnings.
More warnings are coming. ngs.
