Comedy Central Roast: Bob Saget

bullethead · Aug 18, 2008

"that ain't right" was one of the worst stand up specials i've ever seen. he reminds me of the office geek who has too many cocktails at a party and thinks he's funny.

And we get it, Saget worked blue and yet was America's goofy dad. His comedy always sucked. I swear to god America's funniest home videos was consistently more entertaining and funny than Bob Saget's stand up routine.

Did you want Jim Gaffigan to participate?

Yeah, I thought this was pretty obvious how high he was. It was the only thing that made his bit the least bit funny.

I didn't watch this, but screw you guys, I love Norm. His appearances on Conan and the View were legendary, and he's the only guy I found consistently funny for Weekend Update.

thats what makes it so sad that he isn't funny anymore....his standup work for years now has been unwatchable.

sonick · Aug 19, 2008

Downloaded it and watched it last night.

Pretty good. But was Norm's entire set a joke in itself? Is he purposefully trying to be really REALLY bad? I don't get it.

Gilbert Gottfried was awesome. Two ashertz please!

Cloris, Jeff Ross and Greg Giraldo were my faves

Norm McD was awkward to sit thru....it was almost uncomfortable watching it

Yes, that was the joke.

Gilbert was hilarious. I think he told the best joke of the night, which I now cannot remember.

"Cloris is so old that one tit is labeled 'whites' and one is labeled 'coloreds'!"

Yes we get it. But it's been done many times before. And it's never been funny.

Brad · Aug 19, 2008

I've got to see Norm's routine now. Generally speaking, I think he's funny as hell.

odoreater · Aug 19, 2008

Bob Saget tries a little too hard to shake off his "goofy dad" image by going 180 degrees in the opposition direction trying to be "shocking," which, to me, makes it all a little pathetic.

Get Smart · Aug 19, 2008

I thought Saget was always supposedly "shocking" and his role on Full House was a departure from his true comedic self, rather than him becoming shocking to shake off that image. but i dunno, never heard of Bob Saget til Full House

"The Olson twins walk into a bar and say "I'll have an asshurts". The bartender says "How do you make an asshurts"? The Olson twins say, "well you drink a chocolate drink that Bob Saget just made for you, then 3 hours later you wake up on your stomach." I also like how he kept saying that Bob Saget raped and killed a girl in 1990. I saw That Ain't Right in person, it was still mediocre but funnier than it was on HBO.
