I honestly don't know what to say. In 2006, I saw the B&T show for the first time, and thought it was fantastic. I laughed constantly, and it was the perfect way to the end the night. In 2007, I went back all pumped, and was severely let down. I never actually attended the show in 2008, but my friends all assured me it hadn't improved, and from the large portions of the show I heard while waiting in line for the Reflections of Fear house, I was forced to agree.
I skipped the show again in 2009, and again in 2010 (as did everyone I knew). This year, however, I went back thinking it might have improved itself in the off years. It didn't. This show is downright hard to watch. Every single joke made me groan, and based on the audience reactions, I wasn't alone. Most laughter seemed forced, except for a small portion of the crowd that had seats front and center (and who I'll assume are fanboys, of some sort). At best, I'd heard a joke too many times for it to be funny; at worst, I couldn't even begin to guess where the humor was supposed to be coming from. The references were beyond poor, to boot.
Was the show really that much funnier in 2006, or was my sense of humor just that much different in early high school? I may never know, but either way, something needs to be done about this show...it's just awful.
