...is really funny for the first ten minutes, especially thanks to the late Greg Giraldo and Artie Lang who made us pee a little. But then, as often with roasts, it became mean and unfunny, like with all the Farrah Fawcett jokes and how most of the people on stage were popular 30 years ago. The late Fawcett took the barbs well, but I felt bad for her and for some other incredibly unfunny people who tried too hard. Maybe I'm too nice. But how often can you laugh about William Shatner being fat and weird? Or about the fact that George Takei is Japanese and gay, which of course means he's a pedophile? I don't really like roasts but Giraldo was hilarious and delivered supremely un-PC jokes beautifully.There were a few corpses and soon-to-be on the stage, which made it eerie. But TG and I were desperate for something fun to watch. We loved Lisa Lampanelli. She's funny, appreciates her colleagues, and is a good sport.
