Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget

The amounts of jokes about the Olsen twins was disgusting. The girls were 6 months old to 9 years old whilst filming Crowded House with Bob Saget. The suggestions about Bob being a p@edophile was alarming. Should Bob be investigated or should the 'comedians' learn some boundaries. The jokes about Bob's girlfriends being in high school and eating disorders were just awkward.

"Act like this never happened" was one of the 'jokes' about the Olsen sisters needing acting lessons because of sexual abuse? GROSS.

"in the brain of a comatose child m$lester whilst watching full house...." quote by Lewis Black.

Its just way too much jokes about Bob being suspicious around children, that I think this roast should be given to police.

Norm was funny and some jokes did make me laugh but overall it was gross and suspicious! If something did happen, can someone speak up.

Only a few reviews and while I agree with most of the roasters were ok at best. They get it wrong with Norman Macdonald. He bombed on stage. He went in there and purposely bombed. His whole set was making fun of what made Saget popular. According to comedians Saget is filthy yet hilarious. His comedy on Americas funniest home videos was about as funny as the guys and girls who do the jungle boat cruises at Disney. Purposely terrible. As I write this review Saget has just passed and Norm died a few months ago. These were two popular comedians and Norm is the greatest of all. Watching that special was neat because while most people were not laughing, Saget got it and laughed. People who have seen it and seen norm know that is what makes him awesome. He did not care what anyone thought but the audience for that was not the viewers it was Saget. Don't listen to the haters. If you watch it try seeing it through Bob's eyes and I think you will agree while it is not funny, it is a shock and very powerful. I've heard many bits but I remember that one.

I like roasts. I like comedy. I am not offended by blue comedy.

I did not care for this.

First off, Bob Saget isn't exactly my kind of comedian. Yes, I am aware his comedy is different than his Full House persona. He was about the highlight of the show.

John Stamos hosted. I suppose that is forgivable given their careers. There isn't much forgiving the stream of comedians who followed.

Most of them were C+ comedians at best. All worked blue. It seemed like the F-bomb was required. One here or there would have been no problem, but it was some people's act.

Why was Cloris Leachman on the dais?

Love Norm Macdonald, but his set was awkward. Would have liked to have seen Sarah Silverman at the lectern, not taped.

What was most horrific, however, is that the comedians worked from very visible scripts, often reading their jokes. Really? This is how you are going to present yourself on national television?

Don't waste your time on this rubbish.

You ever hear a comedian using swear words just for the sake of using them? That's basically the feel of this roast. Purposefully trying to be raunchy rather than just naturally being so. Raunchiness is not funny when it's forced

I was also disappointed by the many negative gay jokes. I'm not sure they've aged well from 2008 to 2021.

With his boy next door looks, Bob Saget comes across as the nice, dutiful son all grown up. In reality, he's got one of the most vile imaginations and that cache of carnal joke pollution will shock anyone who grew up on "Full House" and doesn't know about his stand up roots. He's been quite the subject of comedian's lore for many years and here several big names in the roasting game take aim at him.

Former co-star John Stamos is the host and he gets a few good shots in at his TV brother in law. And Stamos is also the relentless subject of ridicule from the others getting on stage. Jim Norton, Susie Essman, Jeff Ross, Greg Giraldo and the great Chloris Leachman are just a few of Saget's friendly attackers.

You have to wonder how these roasts are really edited, as some less than stellar performances receive much more laughter than they merit. The best jokes come fast and furious in the midst of a set, with no room for resting on funny laurels. It's too bad roaster perennials Lisa Lampanelli and Andy Dick aren't here, as they could have incinerated poor Bob, not merely touched on some lightweight insults like a few in this lineup that pulled some punches they shouldn't have.

Not the best or worst in this Comedy Central series, but worth watching.
