Really bad., 15 September 2006
Author: Celos from Estonia

I'm a big fan of stand-up comedy and especially the roasts. If you haven't seen any of the roasts before, then this is definitely not the one to start with. It was a disappointment through and through.

Roasts are meant to be degrading, insulting and causing embarrassment in a funny way. This was all that, except the funny. Most of the "comedy" came from the comedians cursing each other. Jokes such as "Hi, you're fat, go f*** yourself!" are not really my idea of quality entertainment. I admit I laughed during, but most of the time the jokes fell flat. Especially Jason Alexander's. Some of the comedians (*cough*Lisa Lampanelli*cough*) weren't even trying to hide the fact, that they're just reading the whole act from a piece of paper. I know most roasts are done like that, but they could've at least practiced the delivery a bit so as not to look down the whole time. The only two good acts came from Betty White and William Shatner himself, when he gave his retort.

In any case: don't watch this. If you want to laugh, go buy some of the Dean Martin roasts. Some of them 3 decades old still outdo anything this bunch of hacks could throw at 'em.
