I love this show BUT season 1 ep 17, guy is talking about his mom buying his "irregular" clothes. But then, he says he gets put into special education classes because of it. Its offensive to both students with special needs and the teacher that support them. There are plenty of things to make fun of in this world- kids w special needs are just not it. Or at least make it smarter comedy.

All the positive reviews are fake
aabust13 February 2018
Don't believe any of the positive reviews from late January, they all sound staged (like the show's audience and "comedians"), especially because they all seem to mention "fresh" and "diversity" like it's some college graduate's first job resume. I can only assume the Russians hacked IMDB in the hopes that this show won't be cancelled so Americans will be stuck with this garbage for years to come.
I've seen bad comics and I've seen this show. I'll watch Fluffy all day long if this show was my only other option. The commercials ruin all the jokes by showing the only ones that might get even a Mona Lisa smile from me. It's like listening to dad jokes on repeat or your really annoying coworker recounting their boring weekend.
Yes, this is my first review but I felt it was my civic duty to counter all the fake positive reviews. Do yourself a favor when this show comes on, change the channel and take a shower.

Horribly awkward
rockcereal6 January 2018
Edit: Aye, sounds like they've been putting in fake positive reviews to inflate the ratings. Real nice.
It's horrible. The show mostly consists of people detailing life stories and such. There is little to no humor; it's mostly just obnoxious narration with badly acted skits playing in the background as well as the audience's laughter artificially injected in. The pacing is unnecessarily frantic and it's horribly awkward and cringey.

This is why we have to stop telling people they can do whatever they dream.

This show is awful
grayceon22 January 2018
Pros:
Cons:
I'm all for lesser known comedians getting their time to shine, but it seems like they just grabbed people off the street and told them to try and be funny. Only watch this if you want to roast the awful jokes with a group of friends because the chances of actually being entertained by this show are extremely low.
Update: Look at influx of reviews that are 9+. They are obviously trying to bring their rating up since all those accounts are brand new lmfao.
- SLIGHTLY less awful than comedy knockout
Cons:
- Corny unfunny host
- "Comedians" just tell personal stories that you can tell are extremely over exaggerated
- The audience looks like they're paid to be there
- The the comedy scenes usually don't really fit with the "jokes"

Too funny
jlmcduffie-126 January 2018
This show is a fun new take on standup and a welcome breath of fresh air during these tense times. It's nice to be able to watch a show and seriously laugh. The comedians are funny and the reenactments take the jokes to a new level.
Killed it!!!!
eblove-8906524 January 2018
I love this show!!! A comedy show my mama can watch is alright with me... the waxing skit was out of control (good stuff)! There's a lot of background funnies with every skit. The show provides a different format for viewers and comedians. The joke comes to life instead of the standard comedic presentation, we witness the funny. The crowd is live and diverse the drinks are flowing...I'm rocking with this show!
Garbage

Unfunny nobodies do stand-up "comedy", and we get to see the "jokes" acted out.
You might remember (but probably not) a TV show on Comedy Central in the early 00's called "Shorties Watchin' Shorties". It was the same thing, only animated, with some cartoon babies talking to each other between comedians. It didn't last, and for good reason. If a comic's act is any good, it's already funny, and we don't need to see it acted out. It could be watchable, but completely unnecessary. If the act isn't funny, it's not going to become funny by seeing it acted out.
The problem with any show that just has select bits from different comedians, is it's usually a mixed bag. You have to watch several comedians you don't like, and then when a good one comes along, you want to see the rest of their act, not change to a new one. But Laff Mobb's Laff Tracks has a bigger problem. None of the comedians are funny. At all. At least Shorties Watchin' Shorties had some decent comedians. The people on this show don't even tell actual jokes, they're just pointless stories that have no punchlines. It can actually get pretty embarrassing to watch.
Don't trust the sudden influx of positive reviews that all happened to pop up within a couple days of each other, all from users who have never written another review. I haven't written many myself, but I felt the need to offset any false impressions people may get from these obviously fake reviews.

Hilariously Entertaining!!!!

This is one of the best shows on TruTV. It's very refreshing to see such a diverse cast. The topics are hilarious and very relatable. I think TruTV finally got it right. Hope they continue to bring great content to this network...
This show is Dope!!!
phermone24 January 2018
I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about. I can think of a lot of shows on TV that deserve 1 Star, and this isn't it.
I'll admit my expectations were a lil different, I was expecting something like Def Comedy Jam, or Comic View and it's not that. However, I like what it is and it seems to get funnier with every episode. Not to mention nice eye candy!
It seems TruTV is trying something different however I do miss Bait Car, and I'll take this show over some of their other comedy related shows.
Terrrrr-ible
onandumas15 January 2018
I feel like there was another show like this a long time ago but with puppets...it didn't last long.
You mean to tell me they bring people all the way out here with a fake audience to tell ONE joke? The acting is terrible and awkward and the comedians are like 3/10 funny...if that. I've been trying to find the applause and laugh now signs cause it is so obvious they have one. No one in their right mind would laugh in a live audience like this with the jokes they tell.

How is this show even allowed to still be on TV?
ryanschonhoff-302349 November 2018
Everything about this show is utter garbage. The "Comedians" as they call themselves, are not funny in any way. Then, you get to watch their stupid joke be played out...which is even worse. I have no idea who authorized this show to exist. Anytime I see one of the trailers for this show I immediately feel my brain cells commingling suicide one at a time. Please, do yourself a favor, instead of watching this show. Go stare at your toilet while flushing it, it will be far more entertaining.
Do people really think this is funny?

Is this bad. I'll echo another review, all the positive reviews you see are fake. Why? Just look at the excessive exclamation points, they can't even try and hide the fakeness of the reviews, pathetic. I thought TruTV turned a corner getting rid of Hardcore Pawn, Chicken Fried Stings, Operation Repo and the other complete and utter garbage they had and signed shows like Impractical Jokers and Adam Ruins Everything. Two shows that are actually worth a watch. However, shows like this, Carbonaro Effect, Hack my Life and Talkshow the Gameshow, I have my concerns about the network again. I actually didn't mind that show they had about the high school teachers, but that's been gone for a while.
I'm hardly even talking about Laff Tracks here, and neither will you, even if you force yourself to watch this abortion of a show.

Very Akward
paigeromoser3 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The actors are okay, but it's really not funny to me. The host appears to be very uncomfortable and akward. The audience seems staged.
The first episode I watched, a young woman comedian came out and immediately started mocking a kind of wooo white girl probably because she's white and had blond hair. I mean, at least she was cheering as loud as she could for ya! You could immediately tell she was offended, at least from what they aired.
Tru TV should really air more of Adam Ruins Everything if anything.

Funny as hell!!!!
rlmkyser24 January 2018
This show is just what tru tv needed. It is a great outlet for established and up and coming comedians and the re-enactments of the comedians stories are absolutely hilarious. It is also refreshing to FINALLY see some diversity on this network. That is the reason that I stopped watching tru tv, that plus the dry boring humor of the other shows but Laff Tracks brought me back! Two big thumbs up!
Hands down the worst show I've ever seen.
mcclainhamilton4 November 2018
I've tried watching the show twice and I can't even get through it. Everything about this show just sucks. I find it extremely hard to believe that people actually enjoy this. I know tru tv has had some interesting shows over the years but this one is definitely the worst and needs to go fast.
Waste of time
irocklasvegas18 October 2018
Want to see actually funny people act out actual comedic lines? Better off watching Drunk History. Want to cringe at canned laughter and all around terrible comics? This show is for you. This show is a lot like their name, "Laff Mobb." It's meant for people who can't spell or know what laughter is.
No laffs here
jxm-8454218 October 2019
The show that comes on when they run out of infomercials.
thebiglocker13 July 2019
First of all, it's not funny. The premise is that actors portray the stories of no-name comedians. The problem is that the comedy, which usually isn't funny at all anyway, is written to be performed by the comic. The great part of stand-up is watching the comic's portrayal, mannerisms, expression, etc. Word-for-word portrayals of dull anecdotes just takes away from whatever humor was there in the first place.
This is a place-holder show. I'm surprised it's still on TV since it must take a not-insignificant amount of money to hire the fake enthusiastic crowd, film, and edit the "comedy" clips.
Seriously, just have some live feeds from open mic night at random comedy clubs. It would be way more entertaining.
