Customer Reviews:
 Hilarious, except for a couple things..., 2008-03-05
I have only seen three of these Comedy Central roasts, this one along with those of Pamela Anderson and William Shatner, but the roast of Flavor Flav is far and away the funniest of them all. America's favorite pimp shorter than 5'8", Katt Williams, does an awesome job as the "roastmaster," taking hilarious pot shots at not only Flav but each of the individual roasters themselves.
The performances by Greg Giraldo, Jeff Ross, Ice-T, Carrot Top, and Patton Oswalt stole the show in my opinion, all containing top-notch material. Giraldo, who happens to be the first roaster on stage, is especially noteworthy. I've been a fan of his comedy for a long time, but on this DVD he kills like I have never seen before. Even funnier than his performance on the "Insomniac Tour with Dave Attell, Sean Rouse, and Dane Cook" DVD, and that's really saying something. And Carrot Top's on-stage props? Priceless as usual, especially the bong with mirrors he made for Snoop Dogg.
I have deducted one star for the following reasons:
1) Brigitte Nielsen's performance was downright terrible. I know she's not a comic, but come on now. I would think she come up with something better than that one line about Flav's penis. And could her delivery been any more dry and deadpan than it was during this show? She's not a bad actress, but she really needs to shy away from attempting comedy in the future.
2) Waaaaay too many jokes are made about Lisa Lampanelli's vagina and her, umm, "love" for black men. It was funny the first couple times it was mentioned during the show; after the eighth or ninth, it just got boring.
Other than that, definitely a great show. The bonus materials are also worth checking out, particularly the "Red Carpet Interviews" with some of the roasters and members of the audience.
