The Dramatic Conclusion of Last One Laughing Season Two
Spoiler warning for Last One Laughing season two. The hit Amazon Prime reality series has crowned its winner after a dramatic finale, but some viewers believe the runner-up has been cheated of victory. Hosted by Jimmy Carr and Roisin Conaty, the show follows a group of 10 top-tier comedians trapped in a room together for six hours, all attempting to make one another laugh. As the title suggests, the last person to crack up wins.
This season featured a competitive lineup, including Bake Off icon Mel Giedroyc, returning champion Bob Mortimer, and prolific presenter Romesh Ranganathan. There was even a surprise guest appearance from GMB’s Richard Madeley, which entertained both viewers and contestants.
As the final episode approached, it all came down to the final two: the deadpan Sam Campbell and the rambling David Mitchell. In the face-off to end all face-offs, neither of them corpsed, according to arbiter Jimmy.
This meant that the ultimate winner was decided by counting who had made the most people chuckle throughout the entire series. Thus, Peep Show legend David Mitchell was crowned – but his victory left some fans feeling uneasy.
Fans are now saying that it should have been Sam Campbell who took the trophy, especially since they claim to have spotted more than one occasion when David visibly smiled. Some social media users expressed their disappointment, with one user writing, “Just watched Last One Laughing final and, although I love David, the correct winner was Sam.”
Public Reaction and Debate
POLL
Who do you think should have won Last One Laughing?
– Sam Campbell, obviously!
– David Mitchell, it was the right call
One Twitter user, Perry Spurs, wrote, “Dave smiled SO many times, Sam never broke once. Plus, they have Dave a point for making Dianne laugh when in fact it was Bob jointly involved (arm wrestle). Really harsh on Sam Campbell.” Another user, Deacon2025, shared, “David Mitchell CLEARLY laughed when him & Sam were Lady & Tramping the Eclair.”
ParisTaylorHolt declared, “Sam Campbell, you were robbed my beloved,” while Raminta pointed out, “Sam definitely deserved to win, that man didn’t even come close to laughing or smiling.” Ben echoed, “Justice for Sam Campbell! Never remotely broke, yet robbed in the tie break.” Ruthipeggs agreed, “Kind of think Sam deserved to win Last One Laughing. What a great, feel good series!”
Controversies and Criticisms
The debate around the winner isn’t the only discourse to emerge from this season. Some viewers have criticized Jimmy Carr’s role as host, while others have pointed out injustices like Romesh Ranganathan being handed a red card after a targeted laugh attack from the host.
Despite these criticisms, David Mitchell’s victory means he will return for the next season, which has already been renewed due to the show’s ongoing success. Last One Laughing is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video now.
