The Roast of Flavor Flav

Anyone just catch this on Comedy Central? I was afraid it wouldn't be any good, but it was full of the same mean-spirited, send-you-to-hell-for-laughing jokes as it should have been.

    I don't know, but he's been hitting the weights. I missed his segment, was in the bathroom. I'm going to catch it this time around, because I'm actually willing to watch this show twice in a row :)

    Flavor Flav is a rapper in the group Public Enemy. Public Enemy was big in the late 80's and early 90's. He was recently given a show on VH1 to find a girlfriend, which brought him back to fame.

    Fame ? Guy was never really famous or will be in the future.  MTV made alot of pseudo stars that are simply a joke and that is what he is.

    You are supposed to roast people that matter, not bottom of the barrel trash like him.  Have you watched the old roasts ? Sure not as funny by todays standards but the show had class, roasters had class and people being roasted were really famous, unlike this thing.

    Roasts are supposed to be funny, and the New York Friar's club roasts were never funny.

    This flavor flav person was a rapper from the 80s? Who the fuck would bother giving this guy a tv show, and waste time and money setting up a roast for him? This shit would have had meaning back when a few people knew who he was....like the 80s.

    While they are at it, why dont they put Cyndi Lauper on the cover of Hustler and do a story on Elizabeth Taylors periods. Maybe see what the remaining members of Boyz 2 Men are up to.

    "Roasts" are a lame concept to begin with. Not to mention I hate the name. I never even bothered to watch one.

    Dog, maybe you need to do some research. When Flavor of Love came out. He became a Reality Star Celeberity. Do you know how many people tuned in to watch that? Watch the beginning of the roast and you will kinda see why he's up there. Man did a lot and Public Enemy is one of the rap groups that was TRUE to the game.

     

    I caught it last night. Carrot Top jokes were funny. I remember seeing Carrot Top in a Reno 911 esipode and he was buff like hell.  Overall I had a blast watching the roast. It's the best roast I've seen.

    A reality show star, that adds so much credibility; to the sap masses that watch that stupid shit.

    I watch that for comedy. That was as funny as the Roast. Now if a person is serious about those Reality Shows like Real World (omg what gonna happen next), might be a little different. Millions tuned into that though man I can't diss them, but I speak the truth that is was number 1.

    damn it...Carrot Top is not buff...he's just big for a red head!  Red heads are NEVER buff, so when you see one with any kind of muscle tone he looks like a friggen giant.

    I got a red head friend who's actually buff, he's on my schools pole vaulting team, guy is fucking ripped (for a red head).

    anyway, the roast was pretty damn good; I was surprised. Oh, and I think that carrot top was there because he's pretty much been in all of the other ones.

    Hey, hey.  I'm a red head!

    Ok, I'm not "buff" but still.  I'm a red head!

    Ok.  I'm actually strawberry blonde, and I keep my head shaved and most peeople think that I"m just blonde cause I have blonde eyebrows, but still.

    Who am I kidding.  Red heads also make some of the uglies kids in the world.  Let us not forget that whenever 2 red heads are in the same place together it has to mean they are related. 

    I missed the roast.  Wanted to see it and hope I can catch a repeat.  I did see the Pamela Anderson one the other night.  Was funny for like the first half hour and then all the jokes were the same as the last one.  Courtney Love has no business in public; she reminds me of my girlfriends parents.  Such a shame.

    Wish Darkfall would release.

  • I don't care how much dignity the old roasts supposedly had, for their time they were pretty raunchy. And just because you don't know who the hell Flavor Flav is doesn't mean he isn't a well known person.



    Which is all besides the point. The point of the roast is to be funny, in the mean-spirited, horrifying, I-can't-believe-he-just-said-that way, which this was.



    If anyone denies this I'll point them to my favorite joke of the night, 'He makes Chris Benoit look like a good parent.'



    Too soon?

    Bye the way...

    The irony of someone named poopypants calling for an enema was too much for me to pass up.

    I thought it was going to be lame going into it, but I ended up watching it twice in a row with my wife.   One of the best jokes of the night... "I finally understand why people call you Carrot Top, it is from everyone want to bury you in dirt up to your forehead." LOLZ...maybe you had to be there

    While I don't think Flavor Flav deserved one by any stretch of the imagination...it ws still pretty funny.
