  • New roast show is nothing like the original Dont even watch

    1.0
    The new roasts are no good and should not even be on tv. To many curse words. It is a shame that we have to use bad words to get a laugh Dean Martin did not need to do that and his show was funny as can be.
  • i disagree with the gilbert godfrey claim trxxxpr

    7.0
    gilbert godfrey should be in the comedy central roast. my fav one of his is on david hasslehoff's roast about pamela anderson's vagina. that was the only thing entertaining in that show because who even likes that little david hasslehoff prick? there's so many crackheads (not including charlie sheen) who are in this show like farah facet in william shatner's roast. she wasn't funny and she kept tripping over her words. they also need to get rid of that little nobody ross and that ugly bitch lampeneli. they've never been funny nor will they ever. they need to roast someone who's actually worth a damn. if they had actually funny people in charlie's roast, it'd be fantastic. the whole thing about ross dressing up like the cuban dictator made him look like a complete douche. so, in conclusion, they should take out most of the roasters and keep seth macfarlene as the host and gilbert godfrey as a special guest. thank you.moreless
  • The Flava Flav Roast is not the first...but did have an amazing cast of Roasters

    9.5
    Sadly TV.com wants to white wash a 40 year tradition of good television by starting the Comedy Central Roast Series with Flavor Flav. Even some underfunded kindergarten dective work shows that the Celebrity Roast was on TV in the late 60's. But that may not be congruous with the current Comedy Central "series". Fine. But can we please at least include the notable greats that *have* been roasted on-air by comedy central? I speak of Denis Leary, Pamela Anderson, William Shatner, and Jeff Foxworthy. Would that be too much? I mean while we're at it...how about delving a *little* deeper and including the roasts done by the New York Friar's Club but aired by Comedy Central? These were even better and included; Drew Carey, Jerry Stiller, Rob Reiner, Hugh Hefner, and Chevey Chase. These were the originals and it's sad to see that TV.com hasn't included these when you look for "roast"...

    For my review of the "whole" show? It was great and hilarious I laughed so hard my wife worried about me.moreless
  • I laughed so hard

    In my opinion, The roast of Pamela Anderson is the best of the whole comedy central roast series. Its outragous, unbleeped and completely uncensord. The roasters rip Pamela and each other apart all night long, its a true comic masterpiece. With Jimmy Kimmel hosting the show, and Jeffrey Ross, Lisa Lampanelii and Nick DiPaolo all roasting, this roast is a special one. The wild antics of Courtney Love is great material for the roasters, what the hell was she on that night? Andy Dick is on top form with his performance as the plastic surgon, the guy is hillarious. I strongly recomend this for anyone who has a soft spot for pure comedy magic.moreless
  • alright

    I've only seen a couple but they were pretty much the same, jokes about sex, lot of language, etc. There were times I did laugh but really, the two I watched had the same types of jokes. Maybe that is too be expected. It is fun to rip into your friends though, so I can see why these are fun to watch for people. Overall there are times, while watching, I laughed, but there were times when I was wondering why others were laughing so hard (and yes, I did get the jokes). Overall my final grade would be in the "B" range. They're not all wildly hilarious but they are good for a chuckle or twomoreless

    Who Hit Charlie Sheen Harder: Chuck Lorre and Two and a Half Men or the Comedy Central Roast?

    Two and a Half Men's Season 9 premiere opened with a funeral scene that served as a veritable roast of its own.

    • rehearsed and edited,but shocking?
      We know that the comics rehearse these roasts, and they edit them..' why do they laugh and get mad at certain jokes insulting them...

    • Why?
      Why is it that in the last four years, there's only been five roasts? Because people will want to watch it more if they're more in...
