Personal Taste
I think if I learned anything from OOB6 it's that personal taste is a pretty major trump card. There were shows that may have been more "skillfully" performed than others that did not make me laugh as much. Plenty of times I thought "now that's funny" or "wow, that was smart", but the stuff I actually laugh at is entirely different. So there's that.
They call me Dollar Bill 'cause I always make sense.

I meant that elaborating might serve the purpose of this forum section.

I really thought Silver City Pink was a pretty flawless show. It was great ensemble. Hilarious, playful, and yes, great improv technique, but the playful funny nature of all the performers was what made me laugh.
Also, Edi Patterson cracked me up in everything she was in.
