Crass, thy name is the Pamela Anderson Celebrity Roast

[maxsolomon]

making jokes about wife beating in front of the wife & ex husband! ha ha!

courtney love forcing herself to laugh at jokes about her drug usage, then jumping up & down for no reason! ha ha!

every person there only to market themselves or their new product! oh what spontaneity!

cringe inducing. if you can take it for more than 2 minutes, you have a serious problem. schadenfruede is NOT A GOOD THING.

1. Furthermore, how can you roast.......

......some like Pam Anderson who is just one big parody of herself anyway?

[truebrit71]

5. I dunno, I heard the Tom Cruise jokes were funny....

...big-nosed psycho freak that he is....

Speaking of Tom, I had the misfortune to see a portion of a movie his latest beard was in, and she was mesmerizingly dull, flat and boring...sort of like her future "husband"....

2. That was one roast that defined bad taste

Roasts are usually bad but that was over-the-top bad. One thing that cracked me up is that it was down for charity in the name of PETA. How many animals have died testing all the products Pam uses to create herself? I wonder.

[Lerkfish]

3. have you never seen one of these roasts?

they're all like that.
Not defending them per se, but all that I've seen sink to extreme low depths of humor, the comedian roasts especially, they'll imply child molestation, you name it.

I would not find it funny myself, but just saying they've always done it that way, and they seem to accept it within the confines of the roast.

4. It really depends on who is being roasted

Pam lends herself to the worst.

11. i only remember the hugh hefner roast recently

jimmy kimmel is trying to revive the form.

before that one, i remember dean martin & don rickles, that ilk. that was a LONG time ago.

[Lerkfish]

14. the dean martin roasts were for television consumption of decades past

and therefore the comedians "cleaned up" their act. A SEPARATE roast was held in the private club, where they let everything out.

6. I watched about ten minutes last night

Waiting for the daily show....

Horrible...

Pam Anderson is not attractive talented or charming....

Why is she famous...

Oh that's right, That explains Paris Hilton....

7. It's subversive comedy!

He's Politically Incorrect!

He's Breaking All the Rules!

This time he's Gone Too Far!

The comedy that was Too Dangerous to broadcast before 11 PM!

He's an Equal Opportunity Offender!

"And now for the Comic Genius of (fill in the blank)."

I can't handle most of what passes for stand-up comedy these days. It is so rare to find someone who isn't just a gobshyte acting out his repressed infantile desire to play with his own feces.

Prison rape. Failed horniness. Disdain of lesbians. "Whuppin'" children. "Whuppin'" more children. "Political incorrectness" as the all-use excuse. More prison rape. "I was on the plane out here and an A-Rabb was on board and I got scared!" Bullies are cool. And the utterly predictable self-deprecation that really says "I am so god damned cool I can hardly stand myself."

And they all wear that same dumb-ass open-dress-shirt-over-colored-t-shirt uniform.

Sometimes I am surprised there isn't an epidemic of bulimia among ethnic straight white guys.

8. Pigwidgeon, you are a man after my own heart!

[Bunny]

16. Hi Richardo!

How's tricks, toots? :P

[WCGreen]

17. Well said.....

Little is pointed today, mostly potty jokes....

[blondeatlast]

20. That's the genre in a nutshell. It's like your unfunny, racist, misogynist

uncle has 10 unitertrupted, unedited, talentless minutes to himself and an audience that actually paid to see him.

:scared:

[AlCzervik]

9. Bea Arthur has a very good sense of humor, they were awful to her.

and Jimmy Kimmel is not funnny at all.

[Orsino]

10. I lasted about ten minutes.

Funny stuff, but how many ways can one really laud the size of Ms. Anderson's breasts and Tommy Lee's penis?

Best line, from Sarah Silverman: "People say you'd be nothing without your breasts, and it's just not true. You'd be Paris Hilton."

[Richardo]

13. Sarah Silverman is a genuinely funny person

I'm disappointed to hear she was on that tripe.

[anarch]

15. I enjoy the band, Crass

or used to, in my younger days...

now i think they are dead on.

18. There was one guy on for the Jeff Foxworthy roast

Oh man, he shot down everyone from the south ( that aren't wonderful and unique DUers that are reading this ;-) ) , it was hilarious.

Talked about how amazed at Jeff Foxworthy he was, for making all those people get in their cleanest "Who Farted" shirts and paying hard earned meth money to go see him instead of doing family things. Like fucking their sisters.

[jbane]

19. They hate us for our freedom...errr...our ROASTS!

If the terrorits had hit that piece of shit this would have instantly become a better country.
