Chad Kinis defeated nine incredibly talented comedians in the first Philippine edition of Last One Laughing.
These included Jerald Napoles, Pepe Herrera, Victor Anastacio, Empoy Marquez, Tuesday Vargas, Rufa Mae Quinto, Kim Molina, Jayson Gainza, and Negi.
Hosted by Vice Ganda, Last One Laughing is a six-part reality series where 10 comedians are challenged to do their best to make their fellow contestants laugh out loud.
All of them stayed together inside a house where they are given six hours to complete the task.
But here's the catch: they have to refrain from smiling or laughing in order to win the game.
The last man standing at the end of six-hour challenge would take home the one-million-peso cash prize.
It turned out to be a crazy wild ride for all 10 contestants as they resorted to different brand of comedies to outwit each other.
Rufa Mae was considered the "biggest threat" by most of them just by throwing punchlines in her signature funny speaking voice.
Pepe came up with different wacky performances as a person who got possessed by poop, alugbati, and plastic.
Aside from his prepared tricks, he also spontaneously joined the crazy skits of other contestants.

Jerald, for his part, tried to shock the others by acting as an aerobic instructor with a pair of skintight shorts that emphasized his private part.
He approached Rufa Mae, Tuesday, Chad Kinis, Empoy, and Victor and then deliberately pushed his bulge close to their faces.
ALL-BOYS PARTY INSIDE THE HOUSE
The competition got crazier when all boys remained in the house.
All of them were so good that Vice had to send evicted contestants to make the remaining ones laugh.
The one where Negi asked Victor, Empoy, Pepe, Jerald, and Chad to play the Money Kiss challenge was definitely hilarious and unexpected.
In the final hour, it was down to two comedians.
Jerald and Chad were both tough to beat and no one wanted to give up until the very end of the six-hour challenge.
However, Jerald was declared as the runner-up as he only made one contestant (Empoy) laugh in six hours.

THE LAST ONE LAUGHING
Chad, on the other hand, triumphed because his funny tricks made Empoy and Rufa Mae break the no-laughing rule.
After toughing it out for six hours, Chad couldn't help but burst into tears when he got interviewed after winning the game.
"I've never been a winner in my entire laugh. Right now, I'm the first winner of Last One Laughing. Thank you. I can't believe it," he said in the post-game interview portion.
He added, smiling, "Isa lang talaga ang naging motibasyon ko bukod sa pangarap ko, yung isang milyon! Akin yan!"
