Title: Will Shatner's Roast
Post by: BlueJ1 on August 20, 2006, 05:29:51 PM: Tonight on Comedy Central at 10 PM EST they will be showing the Roast of Will Shatner.

Something to look forward to tonight on tv considering family guy and American dad got killed because of Teen Choice Awards. (I chose not to choose)

Post by: BlueJ1 on August 20, 2006, 05:39:57 PM: TiVo is still beyound this family's technology range. We do this rotation of updating things around the house. This year was spent repairing solar heater on pool and overall fixing house. Next year (when Im gone) my parents will most likely update the TV and computer.

I'm game ... does it have the spiffy tivo style tv channel directory? I still have my tivo from 99 which will grandfather into the series 3 once it comes out but the only reason I did not go with another solution is the very good tv button that lets you quickly check and select programs... Know what I'm talking about?

Comcast sucks at this.

:huh

man, i miss the old school roasts. (the old rat pack ones.) at least they used a little tact and they were all usually friends.

so far. these guys just arent that funny and thier humor so far has been nothing but bathroom.

it's sort of embarrasing.

but then, i'm not that funny either so there is that...

okay, lisa laminelli is pretty funny...

Post by: FiLtH on August 21, 2006, 08:04:16 AM: I didnt see this roast but Ive seen others in the past couple of years. They try too hard to be crude. "Hey old actress..say the F-word...they love it!" Its forced and fake, and I have no interest in it.

DID YOU THINK THAT THIS no-talent has been WOULD BE ENTERTAINING? I'd rather gouge my eyes out and spray them with Glycol and pop em back into my head and feel the sting. Shatner is a tool, Chuck Norris.

Hmmm... I got TiVo along with DirecTv. It's just one box.

Title: Will Shatner's Roast
Post by: Maverick on August 21, 2006, 01:37:17 PM: The roast had some good moments. Unfortunately it seemsed they had a hard time figuring out that they were supposed to roast Shatner instead of all the no name comics there. The poor choice of language was rather disapointing as well. Instead of using a bit of wit they relied on vugarity to "create" humor.

I would have liked to see better known and funnier comics doingf the roast rather than what they had. The main theme of the entire night seemed to be that Takae is gay. So what, get over it.

Fawcet shoiuld have been left in the half way house they found her in. She was an embarrassment to the entire show. She couldn't even get her monologue done by herself or even tell her best joke in one shot.

:confused:

No wonder Leonard Nimoy didn't attend.

They should have booked

So he would have something to POOP On!

amen, Don Rickles, Foster Brooks, Dean Martin. :aok
There were parts that were funny but I waited to see Fred Willard and Kevin Pollack...and they only had a minute or two between commercials.

Post by: LePaul on August 21, 2006, 05:47:31 PM: Betty White was excellent

The rest...were just embarassing to watch.

The same old gay jokes, the un-necessary profanity got tiring....it certainly wasnt worth the hour.

As Shatner said at the end...benig roasted by a bunch of nobodies.

I can see why Nimoy and others bowed out
Title: Will Shatner's Roast
Post by: Grayeagle on August 21, 2006, 07:19:35 PM: -sigh- .. I too miss the 'rat pack' roasts.

Bob Hope, Dean Martin, George Burns, Joey Bishop..they were all class acts, it was hilarious how they all portrayed Frank Sinatra as basically a male mafia maven, ..the whole gang looked like they were havin FUN ..not hammering the crap outta someone.

I didn't see the Shatner roast .. kinda glad I missed it.
I would bet Shatner wished he had.

He was trying. That Dick will do anything for attention.
Title: Will Shatner's Roast
Post by: DREDIOCK on August 21, 2006, 08:16:17 PM: Agreed. the old "Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts" were the best.
Saw and advertisement to buy them on CD a while back.
Was real tempted

Amen! I still laugh til I cry at those reruns. Rickles, even in his doddering years, could shut Shatner's roasters up, 'cept for Betty.

Post by: Mustaine on August 22, 2006, 01:29:30 PM: someone mentioned Kevin Pollack. he is truly funny, and more like the old school funny. Richard Jeni was good in that sence too. could make a joke PG-13 and still be hilarious.
