That one's great, too. It's so CLASSY; everybody's there to have a good time and poke fun at one another's foibles, but everybody is close enough that the ribs always seem good-natured.

Did anyone catch the comedy central roast of David Hasselhoff over the weekend ?

Whitney Cummings' set on the Hasselhoff roast so NSFW language. I'm only really posting it to ask:
Is that John Slattery at 2:02?

Some of these Comedy Central roasts need Jamie Foxx to keep the roasters in line http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_L-gbpKZpo

I love the Roasts. If they could do one without a drop in quality, I'd love 2 a year.
My only gripe is they need new comedians there who don't always make dick jokes etc. etc.
Which one was Norm at? Oh my God, he killed me. But this one and the
Larry the Cable guy redeemed the godawful Joan Rivers and Saget Roasts, so I was glad they brought the funny.
I hope Marc Maron pops up at one of these.
Anyone ever see the Chevy Chase roast? :lol

I don't care if people are going to 'tune in to watch that' because its superiority is self-evident; it is witty and classy, whereas the jokes on these roasts tend to be "(person being roasted) is so (perjorative), (member of the dais) (verb)ed (other member of the dais)" or something to that extent. The thing that made roasts of old work was that the people doing the roasting tended to have some sort of connection to the person being roasted or was, at the very least, a person of equal standing in the world of fame. The Comedy Central roasts just tend to be a stock set of comedians, a couple of random, unrelated celebrities, maybe one person who is actually a friend of the person being roasted, and some videos or something; there is no wit and no class, just crassness and mean-spirited humor.

If there's anyone in need of a roast, it's Andy Dick.

That's pretty good, but I still think that Jamie Foxx's response to Doug Williams during Emmit Smith's roast is the best roast moment I've ever seen.

Cummings did well enough that I do believe I will actually watch her special that I think is coming on late this Sat night. :lol She was a total unknown to me, so that might have been a factor.
Really, really annoyed by comedy central cutting/editing it all up though...I mean come on~ Air it an hour later if you have to and include ye olde censor beeps, but let the content remain!

I just wish they'd roast someone who's at least a B-level/current star.

That's true, but it could be the most brutal roast ever. Lots of people hate this Andy Dick and there are so many weird stories about him. I hope that one I heard about John Lovitz knocking him out is true.StoOgE said:

That's a really shit thing to do to a comedian even if he is bombing. Jamie Foxx is an asshole.
Gilbert Gottfried at the Hefner roast was the best roast moment ever.

i always make it about ten minutes into these things and then change the channel because they make me feel like someone just took a shit on my face.

I can't stand these roasts anymore. I've tried to watch them, but the humor is just too lackluster and every other word doesn't need to be a swear. I really can't stand the comedians that are there every single year making the same type of jokes every single year. But oh well, I must not be the right person for these roasts, but at least I try to watch them to see if anything works for me.
The parts that I felt were good over the years has been Norm and Gottfried.

Was terrible as have been all the Comedy Central Roasts except for the William Shatner one, which was passable.
Problem is CC roasts have the roasters roast the other roasters more than the guy being roasts.
The old Friars Club Roasts they aired were amazing.

Jeff Ross was at his peak during the Emmit Smith Roast that Shaq put on a few years back:

Look at this small recap of the Matt Lauer roast at the Friars Club a few years ago.
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/27344925
Tom Cruise was there, and made jokes related to that terrible interview he had with Lauer and Al Roker was master of ceremonies. That's how you do a roast.

I remember when that kid turned 15 or 16 and got a 500rwhp toyota supra. He started posting on supraforums, and everyone was all over his nuts. I think it was the same car he fucked up his friend in.

Old bump, I know, but Comedy Central up here just re-ran this and I finally got to watch it...
Some of the stuff was pure gold, some was on the lame side, and some of it was just straight-up HARSH - I'm all in for going below the belt, but damn, I wouldn't even go that low with people I knew in real life! :lol
Wow, I never heard of this chick before, and even the stuff that was aired was too much for those people, but damn, reading those excerpts, she was way out of line - like awkward way out of line.
