In the first episode of LOL, one at a time the 10 comedian contestants enter the theater; they don't know who the other contestants are: Frank Matano, Angelo Pintus, Katia Follesa, Lillo, Michela Giraud, Ciro and Fru from The Jackal, Luca Ravenna, Caterina Guzzanti, Elio. Fedez, as the MC and referee, explains the rules of the game to the contestants: they'll have to stay shut in for six hours trying never to laugh, and in the meantime trying to make the others laugh as much as possible. With the help of his co-host Mara Maionchi, Fedez will follow the contest stages from the control room where he'll watch the game on multi-screens and will report if a contestant laughed. The first time someone laughs the yellow card will get pulled as a warning, the second time the red card, eliminating from the game. Whoever makes it to the end without laughing will win EUR100,000 to turn over to charity. Fedez, once done explaining, meets Mara in the control room and kicks off the game. The opponents start "striking each other" with jokes and sketches but keeping a straight face gets harder than some might have thought.
In the second episode of LOL the competition gets heated. The comedians try everything to make their colleagues laugh. Jokes, sketches, and performances come one after another in a crescendo of comic gags that could make the opponents crack up at any moment: Frank Matano whips a "lethal" object out of his backpack and Caterina Guzzanti morphs into one of her most famous characters - For now, there is just a warning, but little by little as time goes staying concentrated and keeping a straight face gets harder for everybody.
Lillo, Frank, and Ciro use their superpowers to try to make the others laugh, while Elio performs on (and not only on...) the stage. Keeping a straight face gets particularly hard for everybody, and it's time for the second elimination.
Under Fedez and Mara's watchful eye, the game is halfway through; after three hours of playing some comedians get rebuked because they're too passive, while Pintus challenges his opponents with some new performances. It gets harder and harder to keep a straight face, and in fact the cards don't spend much time in Fedez's pocket: warnings and eliminations cascade, making the number of comedians that are still in the game drop even more.
The more time goes by, the more comedians get eliminated, and go to keep Fedez and Mara company in the control room. In the theater, Lillo shows everyone the incredible power of his mind, Ciro reveals what the American actors actually say during the interviews, while Elio decides that the time has come to change outfit again. After all of these new "attacks", the red cards certainly aren't lacking.
LOL is a comedy show where ten professional comedians face off for six hours in a row to keep a straight face, while they try to make their opponents laugh.
