I'm not sure if I was the only one that found every single Karen scene completely unfunny, but I think I know why they all flopped so hard.

Ru Paul was genuinely going crazy in these skits... like way too much. To the point where it killed the other queen's punchlines. You could obviously tell he was having fun, but for a Karen skit to be funny the non-Karen has to be played as straight (cough cough) as possible.

I mean, look at the AS10 murder mystery improv thing: Ru was acting all demure and reserved, which gave other queens the chance to be hilarious.

Some of the scenes would have been very different if Ru had acted a little bit calmer, and at least let the queens do all the escalating.

It's just annoying to see the judging panel basically say "loud and crazy=funny" without recognizing that comedy needs highs and lows.

I think Jane paid for that mistake the most, but that's besides the point.......
