JOKING OFF

Joking Off small logo

Hosted by stand-up comedian and actor DeRay Davis, "MTV2's Joking Off" is where social media meets improv comedy. Featuring teams of rising young comedians, the hilarious, fast-paced, half-hour comedic game show celebrates the best of social media and the Internet, delivering laugh out loud reactions to the most ridiculous tweets, Instagram images, videos, and write-ups ever posted. The teams must avoid getting joked off before one comedian reigns supreme.
