The absolute BEST roast yet!! DONT MISS IT, February 17, 2006
This review is from: Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson Uncensored! (DVD)
The latest roasts on comedy central have been funny, but not memorable enough for a second viewing. Well Comedy Central has found a way to change that with the roast of Pamela Anderson. Oh Pamela you gorgeous Baywatch babe, she takes hits like I've never seen before on live television. And now with the release of this dvd you get to see the whole thing uncensored! Oh comedy central, you shouldn't have.
If you think you've seen a roast before .. you havent seen anything yet. The Roast of Pamela Anderson had me rolling in the aisles the first time I saw it on Comedy Central a couple months ago. And as many times as they re-ran it, I tell you I couldnt get enough. Let me just mention some of the goodies found here: First and foremost Pamela, in a classy see through getup, handles herself oddly enough with class, dignity, and a smile. She is one heck of a lady. But its the guests that are the highlight. Lets first start with Courtney Love, a personal hero of mine! Courtney was detained shortly after this performance and sent into rehab, so its quite a laugh to hear her boast here of how she has been clean and sober for a year! Clean and sober she is not, funny as hell she is. She is the scene stealer here, and the other comedians take more joy out of poking fun at her than even Pamela at some points. All of which are hillarious, and watching Courtney react and flail and fall about, is certainly something that needs to be re-watched over and over again. We get Bea Arthur reading excerpts from Pamela's book. Can you say brilliant? Who woulda known Bea Arthur would come out of hiding to roast our lady of the hour? She delivers the double-whammy when she reads aloud one of the "sexiest" scenesof the book. We have the always hillarious Sarah Silverman doing what she does best. She has had one hell of a year what with her movie "Jesus is Magic" her cameo in "Rent" her part in "The Aristocrats" and showing up at many roasts. Here she does herself proud poking fun at Pam, Courtney, and her boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel to name a few. Andy Dick takes a feel of Pammy's assets, and confuses an audience again with his sexuality. Tommy Lee is on hand. Which is great because he and Pam are like the couple never meant to be together, but somehow you just root for them. Although they aren't together as of the taping, it is cute to watch them take jabs at each other. The self proclaimed "Queen of Mean" Lisa Lampanelli delivers perhaps the funniest bits near the end before Pam herself gets her revenge.
Pam sat through the hell of a roast all for charity, PETA of course, which she is known to support avidly. (even protesting at KFC's .. she is quite devoted, and I think she should be commended for it). So with the cast of Jimmy Kimmel, Tommy Lee, Adam Carolla, Eddie Griffin, Sarah Silverman, Jeffrey Ross, Nick Dipaolo, Andy Dick, Greg Giraldo, Bea Arthur, Elon Gold, Lisa Lampanelli, Lady Bunny, Courtney Love, even Anna Nicole Smith (in the audience) and of course Pamela herself, it is a star studded hillarious event.
And now you can own it and rewatch it over and over. Who wouldnt want to see Courtney Love take a pratfall right at the moment when Pam gets up to deliver her speech? And the dvd features a ton of bonus features which are equally as exciting. Theres footage from the rehearsal, theres outtakes from the show, theres stuff from the red carpet (hillarious), and more. So overall Im giving this 4 stars. It is the funniest thing you will find on dvd this month. So if youre in need of a laugh, or a fan of any of the comedians or musicians on the dvd, this is a must have. Check it out, you wont regret it.

Tasteless, lewd, crude and HILARIOUS!, February 7, 2006
This review is from: Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson Uncensored! (DVD)
This is by far the best comedy roast ever seen! Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Kimmel, Courtney Love, Tommy Lee and a handful of other comedians DESTROY poor Pamela as she sits there and takes it like a trooper. Actually, the comedians do more damage to Courtney Love as they ALL throw vicious jokes her way. Sarah Silverman is by far the crudest comedian working today and ya gotta love it. NOTHING is considered in poor taste by her. Worth showing all your friends. Definately a hard "R" rated show if it were rated. You know those "I cannot believe they just said that" moments? This show is wall-to-wall with those. It takes a lot to shock me and even I couldn't believe a few of the comments that were made.

One bleep of a good time, November 24, 2005
Pamela Anderson. One of the biggest sex symbols of all time gets drilled deeper than she did on a "certain" video by Tommy Lee and other assorted celebs. One can't help but laugh when Bea Arthur gets to the podium and rips Pam's book, and Tommy Lee cracking clean jokes is almost unheard of. This roast will leave you laughing after it's over with the memories it gives, and you'll find something new to laugh at every time you watch it again.
