DVD Reviews of Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget: Uncensored
DVD Review: "You are an artist in the same way Cloris Leachman is moist."
Summary: 5 Stars
For a while Bob Saget enjoyed a stint as television's favorite dad. He then parlayed this inch of fame into hosting a bloopers show and then into a new career as a dirty comic (except that he probably always was a dirty comic). This "reinvention" then becomes the focal thrust of the dais's skewering of Bob Saget as he garners his own Comedy Central roast. His old crony, John Stamos, acts as Roastmaster and he's surprisingly adequate with his rehearsed lines and big toothy grin and perfect hair (damn straight I'm jealous).
As usual, with these roasts, foul aspersions are cast and shockingly gleefully inappropriate language is bandied about. The air that evening hung heavy with cringe-inducing (but in a good way) barbs aimed at the Olson twins and at how Saget brought the creepy and how minuscule his nub of comedic talent and how guest roaster Cloris Leachman is as old as friggin' dirt. It's pretty funny stuff. There are taped bits from Sarah Silverman (amusing) and Don Rickles (meh). Jon Lovitz, Greg Giraldo, Brian Posehn, Jeffrey Ross, and Jim Norton do their thing. And plus you can witness Norm McDonald's slow painful death at the lectern (or maybe I just don't get his "humor"). However, Norm does have a good comeback when Jim Norton bags on his performance. Jeff Garland does an impression for his bit, but it's maybe a little too inside-jokey.
Two people absolutely destroy the room, absolutely own it. One of them, unexpectedly, delightfully, is Cloris Leachman who opens her set with "I am not here to roast Bob Saget. I'm here to fu-- John Stamos." - and from there she doesn't look back. Her act alone is so epic it makes me rate this DVD 5 stars out of 5, never mind that there are some lame segments in the show. But my favorite roast arrives courtesy of Gilbert Gottfried who is just fearless. Gottfried was so good he had his fellow insult comedians on that dais rollin' on the floor. Gilbert screeches: "Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson walk into a bar..." The rest of the joke is horrifyingly hilarious.
The guest of honor, Mr. Bob Saget, makes for a grand, good-natured audience, and it's fun watching his reactions as he's subjected to various humiliations. His rebuttal isn't bad. Except that he had to follow Gilbert Gottfried. FULL HOUSE alums Dave Coulier, Jodie Sweetin, and Lori Loughlin grace the audience, their fifteen minutes I guess not yet up, and the cameras cut to them often, and they're often laughing their fool heads off. Fun to see. For some reason, Alan Thicke is also in the audience. But maybe they needed a seat filler.
Bonus features: "Behind the Scenes" - a clip featuring brief red carpet interviews with Lori Loughlin, Dave Coulier, Jeffrey Ross, Jodie Sweetin, Cloris Leachman, and Bob Saget (00:01:06 minutes long); a Bob Saget Interview (00:02:27); "After the Roast" - post-roast interviews with Cloris Leachman and Saget, and also annoying bits where the no-name interviewer inserts his stupid jokes (00:05:25); "On the Blue Carpet" - more pre-roast interviews with folks on the dais and in the audience (00:11:09); and Comedy Central Quickies are segments culled from the following Comedy Central shows: SOUTH PARK ("Mr. Cartmanez"), THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART ("Baracknophobia"), THE COLBERT REPORT ("Cookie Monster"), and RENO 911! ("Proztitution Sting").
