Hosted by fellow Full House alum (and total dreamboat) John Stamos, Saget’s roast was pure, filthy joy. Saget got lambasted by some of the greatest roasters in the series’ history, including Greg Giraldo, Jeffrey Ross, and Brian Posehn. His career was ripe for a roast, and after the previous year’s less-than-stellar roast of Flava-Flav, Comedy Central pulled out all the stops.
Saget’s stand-up is absolutely foul, and he has a reputation as one of the most potty-mouthed comedians in Hollywood. His stand-up, however, is as far from wholesome as Norm MacDonald is from being funny. He also made us laugh at wholesome fun as the host of America’s Funniest Home Videos.
As the patriarch of the Tanner clan on the long-running Full House, he taught Millennials all about caring, sharing, and family values. To many of us, Bob Saget is America’s TV dad. Warning: Roasts are vulgar affairs, so reader discretion is advised. In anticipation of this year’s roast of Rob Lowe, we here at Fandom have put together a list of some of the best Comedy Central roasts. Even Republican presidential candidate Donald Drumpf has been roasted. Flava Flav’s roast remind people that Flava Flav existed and that giant clocks shouldn’t be worn as statement jewelry. His sharing of the joke was so infamous, it spawned a documentary film about the history of “The Aristocrats”. At Hugh Hefner’s roast, comedian Gilbert Gottfried told the “ aristocrats” joke previously only shared between comedians. The roasts are brutal dissections of a star’s’ career, punctuated with dirty language and poor taste, inspired by the traditional roasts at the New York Friars Club.Įvents from the roasts have become of the stuff of legend. Every year, Comedy Central puts together a dais of comedians and has-beens to make fun of one another and destroy a special guest.
