Yeah, I agree blah: Comedy Central's new roast series are pretty sad. I actually watched the Bob Sagat roast the other night - insomnia and celebrity trainwreck rubbernecking - and I was amazed at the obvious use of cursing to create a buzz for the event. I curse a lot, but it just seemed that it was forced. If you do a roast, you have to curse and make jokes about whether or not the honored guest is gay. One of the roasters must a questionably attractive woman, who's vagina will be the subject of much discussion as to hygiene and frequency and caliber to use. Comedy central seems to have a whole group of people who do nothing but 'roast,' and as far as I can tell they have limited connection to the guest. They just have a whole list of jokes with 'insert your name' appeal. I'd rather see nothing but a group of people who actually know the guest assembled, who would make fun of them a little bit. Overall, it helped me sleep. So I guess that's a positive.
