Roasts

I just watched the Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner, and then the roast of Pamela Anderson. I'm going to watch the Hugh Hefner one in a bit. All this got me thinking, we should roast people on CC.

Please elaborate on what precisely a 'roast' is?

Don't they just basically take the piss out of celebrities/charcter assassination?

yep. its essentially like famous people pretend to be prowler for a few hours.

The roast of flavor flav is where I stole a classic line:
"you have fucked more black guys than FEMA"

Note: FEMA is the government agency in charge of hurricane relief that failed New Orleans so horribly in 2005.

I'm pretty sure that Flame Wars is one big, fat roast.

wikipedia wrote:A roast, in North American English, is an event in which an individual is subject to publicly bearing comedic insults, praise, outlandish true and untrue stories, racial stereotypes and heartwarming tributes. The implication being that the roastee is able to take the jokes in good faith and as not being serious criticism or insult, and therefore showing their good nature. It is seen as a great honor to be roasted, as the individual is surrounded by friends, fans, and well-wishers, who can receive some of the same treatment as well during the course of the evening. The party and presentation itself are both referred to as a roast. The host of the event is called the roastmaster. A roast can often be mistaken for a barbecue roast

I think flame wars is more childish and unintelligent, and more hateful than a roast, which is more humorous....in FW you go after people that suck, a roast is for a great person, and is an honor. Is it an honor to be flamed?

I roasted your mom and your sister.

Be creative and you can imagine how that works.

Laff.

See, that one was an honour for me, because I was being 'flamed' (kind of a strong word for that effort really, but whatever...) by a stupid person... which obviously means he's jealous of how much better than him I am at pretty much everything.

If Guiscard had rolled up and mocked me, then the opposite would be true.
