Bully Herbig has once again forbidden his guests from laughing in LOL. But which of the candidates has the best chance of winning? Does experience pay off?

Two of the favorites are not surprising as they have already demonstrated their skills in previous seasons of “LOL”. Torsten Sträter showed his impressive self-control in the first season in competition with competitors like Carolin Kebekus and Max Giermann and became the first winner of “LOL”. Hazel Brugger only achieved seventh place in her first appearance in the third season, but was able to benefit from her accumulated experience in her next participation and secure a place on the podium. So it's no surprise that we give her an even better chance in season five.

In the fifth season of “LOL” the third favorite appears for the first time, bringing enormous potential with her. This is Mirja Boes, who has already been awarded the German Comedy Prize five times. She is not only known as a comedian but also as a presenter and actress. Her extensive experience in the comedy scene makes her a serious competitor for the rest of the “LOL” cast.

“LOL”: Comedians and actors in the middle
Ralf Schmitz is a newcomer to “LOL” and a midfield candidate, as

writes. Nevertheless, he could really shake up the game. As one of the most successful comedians in Germany, he shone for years in the comedy show “Schillerstrasse”. In this show, various actors and comedians interact without a script and repeatedly follow bizarre instructions. Schmitz has made a name for himself here as an eloquent joke maker.

Another comedy legend in the middle is Otto Waalkes, who also regularly publishes books. He has enjoyed success across generations and thrilled German audiences with his solo shows and films. However, it is still uncertain whether he can survive outside of his scripted shows and in the midst of such a quick-witted group. The consequences will also show what happens to Elyas M'Barek, who is actually not a real comedian, and Olaf Schubert.
“LOL Bottom line
The musician Ina Müller celebrates her debut with “LOL”. She has already gained comedy experience with her humorous talk show “Inas Nacht”, although she is primarily known as a singer. Despite her possible natural talent for LOL, given this year's humorous cast, it seems unlikely that she'll make it through.
Meltem Kaptan, also new to “LOL,” has achieved impressive success as an actress. She has won, among other things, the German Film Prize and the German Acting Prize. However, her experience in live comedy is primarily limited to stand-up performances and scripted shows. Although this does not have to be a disadvantage, it remains uncertain whether it is enough to survive in Germany's most respected comedy show.
