In the first episode of LOL, the 10 comedian contestants make their entrance into the theater. Fedez, MC and referee, explains the rules and kicks off the challenge. He and co-host Mara Maionchi watch the contest’s different stages from the control room. The opponents start “striking” with jokes and sketches but keeping a straight face gets harder than some might have thought…

On episode two of LOL, a sneak attack surprises everyone: Maccio Capatonda pops out of a sofa in the studio, causing a commotion. The competition starts getting serious: Frassica stages one of his bizarre game shows, Cevoli plays his famous character, the councilman, everyone is ready to put on a show for LOL Gala… Keeping a straight face becomes increasingly difficult!

On episode three of LOL, Marina makes them “shudder” with her Natolia; Cristiano shows off his unexpected psychic skills, and Fabio his psychological skills. Luca and Paolo’s “Turd Twins” try to provoke, and to make matters worse, Frank bursts into the studio, shaking things up. For some, keeping a straight face is difficult, especially when Maccio shows up…

Marina leads us along the Seine River with her existential tunes, Herbert regales us with newsflashes, and yet again the “delirium” button causes commotion in the studio. When Maccio involves everyone in his improvised trailers, the competitors start to succumb. Who’ll win the 100,000-euro prize for the charity of their choice?

Episode four starts with another entrance by Maccio Capatonda as an improbable superhero. Nino stages games with absurd prizes, Herbert prepares bizarre cocktails, Fabio reenacts Japanese cartoons, while the others battle it off with rap… After many warnings, almost all of the competitors risk being eliminated!
