it’s not Friar’s Club, but [Colbert roasting GW](http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-869183917758574879#) at the White House Correspondence Dinner set the bar pretty high for taking someone down at a roast. ---

if you’re including the Comedy Central Roasts, i’ve always liked Lisa Lampanelli’s dark poetry at the Flavor Flav roast: [http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/65990/detail/](http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/65990/detail/) love her comments on Patton Oswalt, Carrot Top, and the Flavor of Love girls From the same roast, Greg Giraldo was pretty funny too: > **[Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav](http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/comedy-central-roast-of-flavor-flav/416152/)** > > Greg Giraldo, awesome dude, funny as hell. ---

Norm MacDonald’s roasting of Bob Saget. It seems he was told to behave pre-show, and went with [this](http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=179722&title=norm-macdonald). ---

It seems he was told to behave pre-show, and went with [this](http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=179722&title=norm-macdonald). Here’s the [whole clip](http://vodpod.com/watch/964947-this-man-is-for-the-birds). It’s absolutely brilliant. Painfully dragging out the cauliflower joke gets me in tears every time. Then staring at the crowd for not laughing at the Rin Tin Tin joke…shit. ---

This never fails: Foster Brooks [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYusPRre07k](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYusPRre07k) I guess I’m old school but the current crude humor doesn’t appeal to me. ---

> [@Darth\_Hamsandwich](#): > > I guess I’m old school but the current crude humor doesn’t appeal to me. Yeah, I love the oldschool ones where Foster Brooks pretends to be drunk off his ass and Don Rickles makes fun of blacks and other minorities too. 😃 Don’t get me wrong, they _were_ funny. But crude has different meanings in different eras. And Colbert still destroys the oldschool ones. I firmly believe his roast of Chevy can’t be topped. ---

Yeah, the Norm MacDonald clip from the Saget roast is hilarious in a crazy way. Norm’s one of the funniest comedians out there(a comedian’s comedian) and watching him tell dumb jokes and watch everyone is just great. Intentional bombing. ---

I thought the last roast of Donald Trump was pretty good but Larry King, for me, was the highlight. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFOMlIfIm18) Everytime he would say, “Next caller.”, it had me cracing up.
