Why did Pamela Anderson get a 'roast' on Comedy Central?

[bliss_eternal]

I thought these were all Friars Club roasts--primarily for members? Or is she a member?

Sorry--I'm a bit confused... Or did Kimmel and the others just want an excuse to tell a bunch of blonde and boob jokes?

:shrug:

1. One word

Boobs

[leftofthedial]

9. yup

knockers

[Kire]

12. Another word

Bucks

[leftofthedial]

20. big bucks

[KitchenWitch]

2. I would guess it is option 2!

[enigmatic]

3. I've got a few Friars Club roasts from the 50's on tape

Man, are they hilarious- but filthy...

[Richardo]

16. The main difference being: 'hilarious'

Can't imagine that from the kimmel.

[Must_B_Free]

4. Because Comedy Central made a huge donation to PETA

it was a feather in everyone's cap. All those comics - well known and some newcomers - got to shine in her limelight.

5. blonde and boob jokes

If the childish nature of "The Man Show" is any indication of Kimmel's personality, the blond boob thing sounds about right.

6. there were as many Tommy Lee penis jokes as there were boob jokes

[bliss_eternal]

7. Has EVERYONE in the free world seen 'THE TAPE' but me?

All This talk of the tape, and the penis from comedians', when Tommy's name comes up..it's making me want to see the tape...

:P

(yeah...any excuse will do...hehe)

:evilgrin:

[ghostsofgiants]

8. I don't think I've seen it either...

If I have, it wasn't very memorable.

[Scout]

18. I haven't seen it.

No desire to, really.

And when it comes to penises, in my opinion it's not the length that's so important, but the circumfrence. Length beyond about 6 inches ain't going nowhere anyway!

Don't know which if either applies to Tommy's...

:evilgrin:

[Kenroy]

23. I've seen it...

and you can find it easily by googling...

and yes, it's impressive. As one of the comediennes on the roast said,"if that thing was in my face, I wouldn't know whether to suck it or feed it a peanut".

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

10. This reminds me of Red Button on the old Dean Martin roasts

RED: Why are we giving this man a roast?

[OrwellwasRight]

11. Because he doesn't like fish? n/t

[Kenroy]

25. Napoleon

NEVER got a dinner!

[khashka]

13. Uhm maybe tits?

She's got em. Every boy in the world wants to see em. And if we can't, well, a few jokes about em is the next best thing.

Obvious, sad, and not really funny....

Khash.

[LynneSin]

19. any boy needs an internet connection and google to find em

seriously!

[bliss_eternal]

22. Right, no roast needed there. lol.

:rofl:

[Robeson]

14. Tits and BJ's?...

...just guessing.

[Saphire]

15. ratings

17. It was a fundraiser for PETA.

You can take that or leave it.

[Kenroy]

21. My understanding...

was that she did it as a benefit for PETA. Any money she got from it went to them.

But I have to say... that roast was piss-my-pants, roll-on-the-floor funny.

Bea Arthur. Reading Pamela's book. Un-fucking-believably funny.

And then Sara Silverman - talking about Bea Arthur's vagina.

Seriously, a little urine leaked out.

[bliss_eternal]

24. Bea Arthur was there? I may have to watch it next time it airs...

Love Bea Arthur!!!

PETA is a good cause...

[Kenroy]

26. Yes she was there...

sadly, she looks pretty bad. But of course, she's now 82.

Her mind and manner were fully intact. But she's painfully thin now.

[bliss_eternal]

28. Oh--I'm sorry to hear that.

She's such an incredible lady. I get a kick out of seeing her on that Malcolm in the Middle everytime it airs.

[PittPoliSci]

29. bordering flamebait...

:evilgrin:

[edbermac]

27. Because Pauly Shore was too busy to be the honoree...
