keltoi Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 i've heard of these "roasts" you yanks have spread to us over here but never really experienced them until last night when i caught the 2nd half of the charlie sheen one... it had william shatner, steve-o and mike tyson and a bunch of people i'd never seen before. anyway complete and utter wtf are hese things considered funny anywhere in the world? and there was some proper backward old school racist stuff.

QBLA Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yeah... these "roasts" have lost their meaning. Twisted by Comedy Central. They were used in the past to celebrate someone's career. Kind of like a Lifetime Award they give out at Award ceremonies. But instead of getting a trophy, you'd get your drug, alcohol, prostitution addictions made fun of.

jules Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) no but these used to be very funny. they used to have good comedians making fun of everyone in the room. it has now turned into some sort of celebrity c-list thing. look up some of greg giraldo's roasts, he was incredible. edit: i actually saw that amy schuer chick live once. i went to see dave attell and she was an opener. the room was pretty quiet for her and she didnt get many laughs. if she wasnt such a bitch i would have felt bad for her. i wanted to tell her that every one takes women comedians with a grain of salt anyway so just give up.

awesomeperson Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I watched all of these in one afternoon, the late Greg Giraldo was amazing, also Ross, the Shaq roast was something else.

murve33 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I really like the Comedy Central roasts, but the Charlie Sheen one was baffling. Between the racist jokes, Mike Tyson having a pseudo-meltdown, and the fact that almost all of the roasters weren't even comedians. You need to catch a roast when it's real comedians. The David Hasselhoff one was pretty great. Yes it was still offensive (I don't recall it being blatantly racist though), but it made me laugh, unlike Mr. Sheen's.
