So, can anyone who’s seen the Comedy Central roast of Pamela Anderson please quote Sarah Silverman’s digression about Bea Arthur’s vagina? I just saw it and thought it was hilarious, but I can’t fully remember it. I just know that she called it “flappy”.
I know “wiry” and “gray” were in there at the end, and I think that lead to a joke about Courtney Love - although looking at her, did they even need to say anything?
Although I’m glad Jeff Ross did…
Didn’t catch it myself, and frankly I’m still wondering what reason, besides the ratings draw of such a trainwreck of a fading celebrity, they could possibly have to roast someone with no respectable body of work (or otherwise).
Digression aside, posting to say that if CC’s programming history is any indicator, you’ll have ample opportunities to catch a rerun.
Seriously? 90 minutes of “Pamela is a slut” and “Tommy Lee has a huge cock” jokes? That’s Gold, baby! Gold! But Jeffrey Ross killed: “I wouldn’t fuck Bea Arthur’s dick with Andy Dick’s pussy”.
It just ended, and the first rerun started immediately. This ties the old Comedy Central record; someday they’ll air and rerun something in the same time slot.
Just commenting to say:
Courtney Love is proof that if you do enough drugs, they’ll just keep working (even after being sober for a year).
And then there was Courtney Love, who was kind of the punching bag for the evening. Not that she’ll remember it, right?
Since they just replayed this moment, I think it was “a big flappity, floppy, wiry, bushy gray vagina.” Shudder.
The Sarah Silverman quote is: “I happen to know for a fact that she doesn’t have a penis, she has a vagina, ok? She has a big floppity sloppy bushy wiry gray vagina… which reminds me, Courtney Love is here”
also, the first joke on the show to make me laugh out loud:
Greg Giraldi: (referring to Courtney Love) “your career dried up faster than Sarah Silverman’s pussy around guys that can’t help her in the business”
Overall, I thought the show was pretty good. Jeffrey Ross was probably my favorite of the bunch.
She just failed a drug test, so she likely wasn’t actually clean and sober for a year.
“We’re the Aristocrats!”
Holy cow, celebrity roasts appear to be a lot meaner than they used to be. I remember when the most vicious thing in a roast would a joke about someone’s weight or their alcoholism.
Celebrities may be more worthless than they used to be, and their private lives aren’t as private.
Sure, on broadcast TV.
Nuts. Hit submit too fast. I meant to add, I’ve heard about the Friar’s Club roasts which were not televised for many years and supposedly they were pretty raunchy.
Oh gawd. I miss the old Dean Martin roasts. That was really some funny shit.
You wouldn’t be under that illusion if you’d ever read this: The New York Friars Club Book of Roasts : The Wittiest, Most Hilarious, and Most Unprintable Moments from the Friars Club (Paperback)

What’s even worse, after they were done airing it a second time, they immediately started airing it a third time.
I just want to thank Comedy Central for allowing Pamela Anderson to do the show topless.
Well, it’s almost topless, her top was so see-through it was like she wasn’t wearing anything.
And those tits were hers, too!
(I mean, she paid for them, right?)
From the comments made during the show by PA herself, it would seem the live performance of the Roast was a fundraiser for PETA. So people paid to see her sit through two hours of being called the biggest Ho on the planet, to her face. And like Mr. Wrong said, an hour and a half of PA tits/slut jokes and TL big-dick gags is just “gold, baby”, even more so with a bonus of traditional Courtney Love meltdown (clean and sober my ass – like Kimmel said, “If you’re not on drugs you’ve got some serious problems”).
