Good thing there was a laughtrack. Otherwise I'd have no idea when the jokes were.

you people aren't getting it. The Winner isn't written be a laugh riot. For the guys who brought you Family Guy, this one is a big surprise, it's kinda sweet.

Wow, I think I'm the only one who actually thought it was funny, I was laughing my ass off. Sorry, its probably people like me that keep shows you hate on.

Sorry to break it to you and the previous commenters, but the show is actually funny. It's a mix of Arrested Development, 40-Year Old Virgin, and How I met Your Mother. You probably don't think any of those were funny either.

Yeah, The Winner was a little weak. However, it's not nearly as bad as the American version of The Office with the incredibly overrated Steve Carell.

The biggest problem is Corddry apparently believes all the P.R. about his comic genius. Sure, he could be hilarious on The Daily Show, but as often as not he was just stupid. His "This Week in God" never hit the pace set previously by Steven Colbert. And his reports were predictably boring as often as they were originally funny. He could have used another year or so of experience before jumping ship to make it on his own. But he didn't, and as a result we get another crappy T.V. series.
