To go where no man has gone before.

Has anyone watched the William Shatner roast on the Comedy Channel?

Oh...My...God...What a hoot.
No quarter asked and none given.
Nothing was safe or off limits.
I think they insulted everything and everyone in every way possible.

I only wish they did not beep out the curses.

If this becomes available as a dvd I will certainly buy it.

I have watched it three times now and my sides still hurt from laughing so much.

I tried to record it the other day. I must have mixed up my days or times because I got some crappy movie instead.

Do you know when it's on again?

 

[Kai]

No I am sorry I do not.
It was on repeatedly over the weekend and hopefully will replay several more times.

According to the Comedy Central website it will be replayed a few more times (most recently Saturday night)

The stuff they cut out was brutal. They played a lot of it on Howard Stern the last couple of days. Usually, the uncut version will be available someplace, somehow..

It's called Canada.

To be honest (and I suppose prudish) the funniest stuff was clean. I don't understand the attraction to the overt raw stuff. It's not funny, just shocking.

I saw the one of Jeff Foxworthy and realized that Comedy Central, or at least the comedians in these roasts, have lost the ability to distinguish "funny" from "offensive". For example: telling someone to "close their legs" is grade school shock humor, not prime time comedy.

Funny is a perspective.

The roasts are known for being crude and brutal. Nobody watching should expect anything different. The last one I saw wasn't quite as hard on the roastee as the Shatner one was, but was every bit as crude.

The Chevy Chase one was insane. He was so obviously angry, the shots of his face were worth watching for alone. I thought he was going to walk off before it was over.

Then there was the Jerry Stiller one, where, knowing how sensitive he is to bad language, the roasters hammered him with "naughty" words continuously, from start to finish. Even normally clean comics slammed him nonstop, and he squirmed like a worm...

I still think the pamela anderson roast was one of the best of all time.

...Sarah Silverman was really tearing into everyone that night.


And yes, I have a fondness for crude humor...but I do draw the line at extremely raunchy humor....I don't mind someone making wisecracks, but it's when it gets demeaning that I have problems with it.
