There are many words that could be used to describe celebrity roasts, but "genteel" and "highbrow" are definitely not among them--especially not when the victim, er, guest of honor is one William Drayton, better known as Flavor Flav. Even by the dubious standards of the genre, the nonstop stream of vile insults, profanity, and sexual vulgarisms delivered by the likes of Snoop Dogg, Ice-T, Lisa Lampanelli, Jimmy Kimmel, Patton Oswalt, and others in the course of this "extended and uncensored" Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav borders on overwhelming. As it happens, it's also pretty hilarious. Flavor Flav was once primarily known as a member of Public Enemy, one of rap's most politically conscious and influential groups. These days he's more recognizable as the clock-wearing, gold-toothed star of his own reality program (Flavor of Love), putative boyfriend of the large and scary-looking Danish actress Brigitte Nielsen, and one-man freak show, and it's a safe bet that it was these accomplishments and not his talents as a rapper that earned him "roastee" status at this 2007 event. The various comedians ridicule his generally strange appearance ("like Idi Amin after a three-year crack binge on the sun"), especially his skinny physique ("Starving children send you 50 cents a day") and ultra-dark skin ("How do we roast charcoal?"); the utter weirdness of his relationship with Nielsen and his penchant for siring kids with a variety of women ("You're responsible for more homeless black children than Hurricane Katrina," says Kimmel) are frequent topics as well. Of course, the roasters spend as much time riffing on one another as they do on Flav, and while some fall flat (Nielsen's moment at center stage is rivaled only by Carrot Top's for most unfunny bit of the night), most are amusing enough to make for a surprisingly entertaining evening. Extras include extended Red Carpet interviews and "Flav-Cam" bonus footage. --Sam Graham

 Hilarious, except for a couple things... March 5, 2008

I have only seen three of these Comedy Central roasts, this one along with those of Pamela Anderson and William Shatner, but the roast of Flavor Flav is far and away the funniest of them all. America's favorite pimp shorter than 5'8", Katt Williams, does an awesome job as the "roastmaster," taking hilarious pot shots at not only Flav but each of the individual roasters themselves.
The performances by Greg Giraldo, Jeff Ross, Ice-T, Carrot Top, and Patton Oswalt stole the show in my opinion, all containing top-notch material. Giraldo, who happens to be the first roaster on stage, is especially noteworthy. I've been a fan of his comedy for a long time, but on this DVD he kills like I have never seen before. Even funnier than his performance on the "Insomniac Tour with Dave Attell, Sean Rouse, and Dane Cook" DVD, and that's really saying something. And Carrot Top's on-stage props? Priceless as usual, especially the bong with mirrors he made for Snoop Dogg.
I have deducted one star for the following reasons:
1) Brigitte Nielsen's performance was downright terrible. I know she's not a comic, but come on now. I would think she come up with something better than that one line about Flav's penis. And could her delivery been any more dry and deadpan than it was during this show? She's not a bad actress, but she really needs to shy away from attempting comedy in the future.
2) Waaaaay too many jokes are made about Lisa Lampanelli's vagina and her, umm, "love" for black men. It was funny the first couple times it was mentioned during the show; after the eighth or ninth, it just got boring.
Other than that, definitely a great show. The bonus materials are also worth checking out, particularly the "Red Carpet Interviews" with some of the roasters and members of the audience.
Why the change in background music? March 1, 2008

Overall, really funny. I was upset to find they changed the music to some generic, instrumental pieces instead of actual radio songs. The clearest example being during the Snoop Dogg intro; when he gets to the podium, 'Snoop D.O. Double G' is playing and he moves with it and is following the beat very well. In the DVD version, he is still moving, but looks stupid as the new song has one beat and his movements have a completely different beat.
Other than that, I thought it was a very funny DVD and worth the $14.99 I paid.
 I could watch this over and over again!!! December 28, 2007

I swear i think this is one of the funniest comedy roast's i have ever seen in my life!!! All the comedians were dogging so bad on Flavor Flav....especially Jeff Ross and Lisa Lampanelli.
