Set: Amir does a dream bit about Shaquille O'Neal as a genie granting a wish for three more inches, but not height—referring to his penis.

Interview: Tony and guests critique the obvious setup and weak premise, coaching him to make it feel genuine rather than like a constructed joke with a punchline.

Interview: Tony and guests praise his material but note his nervous demeanor, coaching him to slow down, show confidence, and pause for laughs rather than rushing through.

Set: Dan does bits about coffee discovered via jumping goats, the connection between goat jumping and bestiality, and deer labia as both singular and plural noun, with confusing transitional words.

Interview: Tony and Chris coach him extensively on needing actual punchlines, proper joke structure (setup-premise-punchline), and avoiding random transitional words like 'labia' that confuse the audience.

Set: Klee references Tropic Thunder's 'full retard' joke, compares it to 'full slave' for Black actors, discusses being unable to watch slavery films without hating white people, mentions gag reflex while brushing tongue versus oral sex expertise.

Interview: Tony and Chris coach her that references need setup so audience understands, discuss adding examples and not abandoning jokes too quickly, note she's funny and should trust audience discomfort.

Set: Al does quick joke-joke-joke style material: hockey/Putin/shirt joke, NSA/MetroPCS joke, white supremacist confrontation where he says 'you wouldn't like me when I'm Mexican' and claims he stole the guy's job and impregnated his sister.

Interview: Tony reveals he featured Al in San Jose, discusses Al's approach as old-school setup-punchline style. Chris and Tony coach him to weave jokes into stories and show more personal voice.

Interview: Tony praises her framing of who she is first before jokes. Chris and Tony discuss her pants choice and note she should focus on porn-related material. Extensive feedback on wardrobe distraction and limiting tag lines.

Set: Sara lists reasons she hates mall shopping: finding parking (creates riddle), loses sense of self, dislikes Wetzel's/Cinnabon/Sbarro/sunglass hut, fears earthquake entrapment in mall.

Interview: Tony and Chris praise her angry delivery and character work, encouraging her to expand on why she hates things rather than listing multiple items, and suggesting a story/climb structure.

Set: Kim does magic trick bit: dad was magician who 'disappeared' and never came back. Also discusses how dad prohibited rated-R movies for violence but hit her mom. Claims domestic abuse gave her cat-like reflexes and TV volume strategy.

Interview: Tony and Chris praise her and suggest selling the magician disappearance better by emphasizing how good he was at disappearing. Tony criticizes rhetorical questions in comedy.
