Le Sserafim on PSICK Show
Added 2023-09-09 03:40:47 +0000 UTCReally like how this isn't your typical "idol show," it's so great seeing Yunjin and Kkura in this way. The comedians on the other hand... were rough.
Let me know your thoughts!

Sakura had all time great one-liners in this episode lmao. It's a pity the hosts' humour didn't stick with you at all. They definitely capture the humour of Koreans/Asians in general speaking Konglish. Typically their questions are a bit more out there to catch their guests off guard but they tone it down when idols come on the show. They originally were much more on the side of hiphop gyopo humour and had mostly guests that were rappers/singer in the scene. I can see where the humour doesn't click for you though

2023-09-09 20:59:38 +0000 UTCThese guys got popular doing sketch comedy on Youtube. A lot of that sketch comedy is geared more towards the Korean audiences. In the PSICK Show they are playing charicatures of Kyopos which results in the over the top acting. The majority of the guests in the first few seasons of the show are from the K Hip Hop scene, so a lot of the comedy was more adult, and the slapstick comedy in this episode isn't really as present in those. I feel like they didn't want to cross the line with a KPop girl group so they pivoted to being more PG with LE SSERAFIM. The best episodes are when they are antagonizing the guests (Big Naughty and Epik High). If you wanted to give another episode a try on your own time, I would recommend either of those two. They really ripped into Big Naughty by researching his instagram posts for the interview.

Edit: It's honestly been such a long time since I watched a stand up comedy show, I should get back into them (I feel like I say this a lot lol). I feel like being very animated is an easy way to bridge language barriers lol, its easier to sell physical comedy to an international audience. (But yea I don't really get their humor).
