Dat Phan won for two reasons. First, he got the sympathy vote (nice guy, underdog, religious, save the world crap). Second, most of the 'voters' were probably young, the kind of audience who laughs at the simple jokes. Dat Phan was NOT the best comic, not even close. Off stage he wasn't funny at all. On stage, he had a few good jokes (the Mortal Kombat peeing stuff comes to mind), but most of his routine involved making fun of his mom. I doubt he has more than 10 minutes total of original material. By the end of the show, he was already repeating shit. And as for Ralphie, most of his stuff was one long rant, and not all that funny. Still, I'd take him over Dat. Dave or Rich should have won, they were by far the funniest, both on and off stage.
