COMEDY CLASS BY ÉRIC AND RAMZY
BLACK COMEDY THE VERDICT
-There are three eliminations. -Three.
The first one is…
Violaine.
I think you could tell during your set.
It just wasn't quite up to par.
I'd like to say something.
This adventure has allowed me to realize
that I don't know how to be funny on camera.
Our second elimination is…
Poulet de Feu.
You had the best performance in the Absurd challenge.
Really.
Black comedy wasn't your thing.
-That's life, it's fine. -Thank you so much.
Our third elimination is…
Anne Boissard.
Anne, I adore you,
but today just wasn't good enough.
It breaks my heart to say that.
You're going to have a huge career.
You don't need us. It's with a heavy heart,
but it's the name of the game.
It's okay. It's been great.
-Thanks, guys. You were great. -You made a huge impression.
Thanks, ladies.
I'm so proud of myself
because I came here with brand new acts.
I exhausted myself to write the best material I could
and give it my all.
I think I succeeded, so I'm really proud of myself.
I'm pretty happy.
I went further than I thought.
I wish I could have relaxed more.
It's something I can learn from.
I failed to be convincing and get my message across.
It was a great experience and I have no regrets.
-The next challenge… -It's the semi-final.
-Good luck! -Bye, winners!
Bye, winners!
They were awesome. Very impressive.
We had a good laugh. It's great seeing them progress.
I'm very happy. I love them.
Honored.
That's it.
-Has the interview started? -Yes.
Éric, the pressure's really on.
Season two of Comedy Class is heating up.
So, what's on the menu?
We're such funny mentors.
There were 12 acts, now only eight are left.
It's going to be tough from now on.
Stay focused. Don't mess up.
It's going to get tense, isn't it?
That's what I said. It's time for the next challenge.
Good luck to everyone.
-It's time for The Roast. -It's a big day.
-We're going to eat so much… -No!
Not that kind of roast.
-This one has jokes. -What's a roast?
A roast is kind of mean. You attack people's flaws.
The contestants will be able
-to make jokes about each other. -I can't watch.
Like chicken on a rotisserie,
spinning and roasting.
This time, The Roast is different…
-I've really influenced him. -…from season one.
-The smile… -Why, Ramzy?
…the gestures.
-Because… -He's still going.
Because there are eight of them.
Seven will be sitting in the front row.
Seven in the front row.
Tristan, Victor, Camille and the others will be roasting.
We're going to flame grill them
in this roast.
The four best acts will go through to the finale.
This is the semi-final.
That was a good presentation.
It was a real treat.
WRITING WORKSHOP
Watch out for Camille, guys.
One girl, seven guys. She's going to take us all down.
This is gonna be great.
Yeah, they should be scared. That's how I like it.
I think they're afraid their ego will get hurt.
I'll be in front of seven guys.
I've got ovaries of steel.
I think I'll catch a few strays too, so no one's safe.
We all just want to make each other laugh.
It's not like it'll be on the internet forever.
-Hello. -Hi, how are you?
Come over, guys.
There are a lot less of you now.
Everyone here is funny.
Don't feel bad when we eliminate you.
Have you come up with much?
Nothing?
Antony's like, "Nothing."
He only ever has three lines anyway.
-He pretends, but… -We know what he's doing.
He's doing what I used to do as a kid. Like, "I didn't study."
-They all seemed so calm. -Yeah.
The ones who made it through are super comfortable.
Maybe they don't care about us.
-They're semi-pro. -Yeah.
-Let's go. Time to laugh. -Let's go.
Good evening, everyone!
Good evening!
Thank you.
-Silence! -Stop!
-So, today. -So, today.
-The challenge… -The challenge…
-…is… -…is…
-…The Roast. -…The Roast.
Your mom loves sausages so much…
She's dead.
-Get ready to laugh. -Let's welcome our contestants.
Here are our eight semi-finalists.
Only four will survive The Roast.
You all seem to be getting along.
You're all smiling. The battle's about to begin,
and it's going to be a real treat for us.
Last year, the contestants roasted us.
We've only just recovered from it.
We wanted them to roast each other, because it was too hard.
They'd better not roast us.
-Hell no. -No way.
Drucker hasn't forgotten.
If you come for us, we'll retaliate.
You guys sit down. We'll choose the first act.
Let's go! Please welcome our first roaster…
Antony Giuliani!
Being in the semi-final is one step closer…
ANTONY GIULIANI 30 YEARS OLD
…to being in the finale. I have to be there.
I think I've got a chance of winning €50,000.
Make some noise for the team.
A big round of applause!
-How's it going? -Good.
I'm so happy to be part of this team.
I know it seems like we're all good friends,
but to be honest, I don't know all their names.
I didn't learn some of them because I didn't think
they'd still be here.
How are you… Benjamin, is it?
Dudley has had a wonderful journey,
even if your best jokes
are written on your face.
That's okay.
Ramzy criticized you for having too much attitude.
It's not really fair to criticize someone for what they don't have.
For example, Dudley, what's this?
A dad.
Where is he? Who knows.
With Victor's mom, perhaps?
Tristan, I don't have much on you.
Just one little thing.
We took this photo of Tristan with Victor and Dudley.
You're so small, man. It's crazy.
His doctor is a pediatrician.
Crazy.
I'll leave some jokes for the others.
Enzo is my favorite.
Enzo doesn't tell jokes. He just smiles, and it works.
That's the only feedback he's had so far.
Every time, it's, "Enzo, you're so good looking."
He says, "What do you think about my jokes?"
"Your jokes look just fantastic."
Actually, Enzo, your voice is good. It's just your material that's weak.
He's like the Matt Pokora of comedy.
You know, eventually,
you'll have a great career doing other people's material.
It'll be great.
So…
Benj… Victor.
You should know that Victor became a comedian by accident.
That's true, it's not a joke.
The only reason he's still here is because they don't know his name.
Bro, raise your hand so they see you.
Camille, shit, Camille…
I don't know Camille very well.
She's the girl you talk to at the end of the night, like,
"I guess I'll take her home."
At 4:00 a.m., even her boyfriend is like, "Should I even take her home?"
I'm beautiful.
-No way! -No?
You can't give up on me!
What a fucking bastard.
That was a good one.
Antek is the oldest contestant.
If it weren't for the pension reforms, Antek wouldn't be here.
You're here to pay in to your pension.
You only have two years left.
Finally, we have Étienne. Where is he?
What a beautiful shirt! So bold.
I don't want to roast him too much.
Étienne has done a lot for my community.
He won't talk about it because he's too humble.
I'm going to tell you, though.
Étienne hid Jews in his eyebrows.
Did you have fun?
Yeah!
That's all, thank you.
-Wow. -My God.
You're so comfortable roasting.
You're really mean!
-I'm not. -You are.
You enjoyed yourself.
We watched you. You were eating them alive.
"Yummy."
Wine too. You loved that, you son of a bitch.
Yeah.
But so did we.
I think you crossed a line.
Yeah, but it's all love. You only roast people you love.
-I loved it, guys. -Thanks, Antony.
-Well done, Antony. -Go sit down.
He hides Jews in his eyebrows.
-Tiny Jews. -Yeah.
Mini-Jews.
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for Enzo Ricci's roast.
Things are heating up.
ENZO RICCI 27 YEARS OLD
There's pressure. When you're in the semi-final,
you're thinking about the finale.
You can't help but think about being in the top four.
The goal is to have fun. If I have fun, so will the audience.
If it works, it works. If it doesn't, we'll see what happens.
Ladies and gentlemen, court is in session.
I wanted to be a proper judge, really serious,
but that's not who I am. I'm here to tell the truth.
Let's keep things simple.
We have six amazing comedians plus Étienne, which is really cool.
So cool.
Antony, I'm going to start with you.
To be honest, we don't get you.
First, you tell us you're Arab.
Then you tell us you're Jewish.
"Giuliani," you're Italian too.
I have your DNA test. You're 100% liar.
You have a real hygiene issue.
Instead of Comedy Class,
you should have done Big Bath-er.
Dudley, you're the opposite of Antony. What an attitude.
I want this guy to win
so he gets €50,000 and finally hears from his dad.
I'm serious.
Can you imagine Marseille
when he brings home the win?
Dudley, hi, I'm your father.
No way!
Dudley, he's a liar. I'm your father.
Great.
-Are there any more? -Dudley.
Great.
No way!
No.
It's him.
Son, do you remember me? I'll call you.
I can't do everyone, the trial's too short.
I can't do everyone. Antek and his glasses.
His signature look.
His red glasses are part of his brand.
Kev Adams had his T-shirt.
Muriel Robin always wore red.
Éric and Ramzy, they had Éric. Everyone…
I love it.
Ten years…
-I don't get it. -I'm the star.
You're useless. Get it?
Okay.
I couldn't say it about him. He'd eliminate me.
He's an asshole.
No worries. It's fine.
Order! Order in court.
Antek, you've given us great advice.
Experience. You'd make a good father to Dudley, seriously.
In the last challenge, Ramzy said I had good punchlines,
but that my silences were fantastic.
I think it's time for me to shut up.
Thanks for listening.
Enzo Ricci, ladies and gentlemen.
-There's no denying his grace. -There's no denying his grace.
He wasn't as good as he usually is.
Agreed.
I was expecting something with some bite!
You were too nice, actually. Almost.
-That's what I'm like. -I'd have liked you
to spend more time on each person.
You moved on too quickly.
It was joke after joke,
but knowing how talented you are, I'd have…
I mean, you're the teacher's pet.
You're gonna win, but still…
-I'd love to have… -We're so in love.
I'd love to have your self-assuredness, without bragging.
You have a great career ahead.
All of Dudley's parents are here, it seems.
Which one do you like best?
-I like him. -Me too.
It's great that the two of you are really friends.
Thank you so much, Enzo.
Enzo didn't seem comfortable with this challenge.
But he knows how to deliver.
-Liver. -Liverpool.
Liver.
He knows how to deliver.
-Yeah. -It's Zor-Roast.
Zor-Roast and Bernardo.
A horseman known as Zor-Roast.
My love, my darling.
I'll glue you back together, I'm sorry.
I love this challenge.
Watching you tear into each other.
Last year, we were in the hot seat.
-This is cool. -They ripped into us.
-I love this. -Now, it's time…
Ladies and gentlemen, Camille Fievez!
CAMILLE FIEVEZ 36 YEARS OLD
If I'm in the final, I'll fight to win.
One woman against seven men. I'm roasting everyone.
One by one. I won't be too cruel.
I'll have to hold back.
Well, here we are.
Seven guys, one girl.
I'm so happy to be filming this show from the 1980s.
It's great to be here. You're looking good, guys.
So handsome.
You look like the defendants at the Pélicot case.
Really fantastic.
I like being the only woman in front of seven guys.
I feel like Snow White.
Tristan is all the dwarfs.
I'm the only woman in the competition right now.
If I don't win, I hope Étienne does.
That way, the winner will still have boobs.
If it's not Étienne, I hope it's Antony.
We're staying at a hotel,
but he'll have to go back to living in a cardboard box.
It's hard finding big cardboard boxes, isn't it?
Seeing as you have to share the space with your huge ego.
No way!
Mamma mia!
Funny thing this week,
I couldn't remember my hotel room number.
I was struggling, but I finally came up with a solution.
I wrote it on Dudley.
He still hasn't noticed.
There it is.
Hide your forehead, Dudley. I don't want Antony to see.
He's gonna come to my room tonight. Such a fuckboy.
He's so Italian.
I love it. His face is like the sun
and he smells like parmesan.
Stop!
Antek, I won't make jokes about you.
Since we're like sisters.
You're like a sister. You're a queen. Make some noise for Antek.
Camille.
Everyone knows Tristan always farts before performances.
It doesn't bother me.
Even if he didn't, I'd still think his sketches smell like shit.
It's hot in here!
Victor, I think Éric and Ramzy have been really unfair.
They should have sent you home already.
You'd have suffered much less
since you can't write a joke on your own.
-Anyway… -My God!
I think it's time to tell you the truth, Victor.
You're not a contestant on the show. You're not funny enough.
This whole thing has been a prank. You're on Candid Camera!
Go ahead and sign the image release forms.
It's amazing. Everyone's kept it secret from the beginning.
It's absolutely incredible!
Wow.
Camille! Camille! Camille!
Victor and Antony, she really roasted you guys!
Wow.
If only we had a golden buzzer like in those other shows…
What you did to Victor,
I've never seen anything so cruel!
I can't believe what you did to him. It was crazy.
I'm sorry, Victor.
You can't apologize after that.
-Oh, my gosh. -The mood after that will be awful.
-It'll be atrocious. -I can't wait to go home.
You can't sit with them anymore.
Your roast was a whole different level.
I've seen roasts before.
Even in the USA, they joke, it's funny and mean.
That was just mean.
-Mean. -Then funny.
It wasn't funny mean, it was mean funny.
-You did it the other way round. -You took it in a new direction. It works.
-It really worked. -I loved it.
My God, I wouldn't want to be Victor.
Thank you for your cruelty. You can go sit down.
Well done, Camille!
Well done.
Wow, Camille.
You took it to another level.
You took it to the stratosphere.
It's like being in a Brooklyn bar.
A woman roasting all the guys.
"Watch out, it's Camille!"
"Camille's here, shut up."
Get out of here, Tristan.
You're going to get hurt.
-Wow, Camille. -Camille, you're too good.
We need to create a new challenge.
It will be the Haters' Challenge.
-But I think… -Yeah, it's good.
You'd win.
I love this woman, I've loved her since the start.
I've learned to love her as she revealed her cruelty.
She's my new passion.
That's the thing with comedy.
You can hate it one day, and love it the next. It's subjective.
Let's try and get over that.
Our next contestant was on a hidden camera show.
That's what's so crazy.
They've wanted to do it from the start.
They've tried to get rid of me.
"We don't know who he is."
You're about to find out.
I don't think they're ready. No one is ready.
I'm a nice guy, but don't piss me off.
He's not on Candid Camera, he's a real comedian.
It's Victor Vauchez!
I'm gonna show them.
VICTOR VAUCHEZ 24 YEARS OLD
You don't know who I am.
Don't worry, you'll soon find out.
Anto, 70,000 followers on social media
but you can't fill a 25-seat room.
End of joke. Camille… seat room.
