Flava’s reality career earned him enough recognition to get roasted on Comedy Central. The event was hosted by comedian Katt Williams and Flava got roasted by the likes of Snoop Dogg and Jimmy Kimmel. It was the typical CC roast.. there were good jokes, racial jokes, sexual jokes, and bad jokes. Sports occasionally made it’s way onto the show. Here are the sports related jokes from Flava Flav’s Roast:
Greg Giraldo to Jeff Ross: “Jeff Ross, Jeff how are ya? Jeff just hosted some ridiculous talent show on ABC. A talent show?!? Where do you get the balls to host a talent show? You running a talent show is like Michael Vick running the ASPCA.”
Pretty easy joke. But I’ll let Greg slide because he went on to…..
Greg Giraldo Extra: (To Jimmy Kimmel) “You just had your appendix out. Apparently you can get appendicitis from being overrated.”
If you can get appendicitis from being overrated, Charlie Weis should be getting his appendix out any day now.
Sommore to Flava Flav: “Not only are you dark, but you’re skinny. You look like Magic Johnson should look.”
Well, Magic does look great, all things considered.
Jimmy Kimmel on Lisa Lampanelli: “She almost didn’t make it tonight. Up until 6 O’clock this morning she was chained up to a truck axle in Michael Vick’s backyard.”
I think Jimmy made this up because I didn’t see it in the indictment.
Jimmy Kimmel on Flava Flav: “Chris Benoit is a better father than Flava Flav“.
Good lawd. Can somebody check the date? My calendar says Jimmy’s a few weeks early with the Benoit material.
Jimmy Kimmel Extra: “This roast is environmentally conscious. It’s Comedy Central’s first carbon neutral television show. Hey listen, Comedy Central, if you wanna stop polluting the atmosphere, cancel Mind of Mencia…Thank you.”
Here Here.
Katt Williams: “Our next roaster. Drafted into the Boston Celtics in 1978. Played power forward for 13 seasons and retired due to back problems and.. oh shit that’s not Larry Bird, that’s a big ho. Ladies and gentlemen, Brigitte Nielsen. Make some noise for her.”
Ok, the stats are off, but Katt’s a comedian not a statistician. I woulda gone with Detlef Schrempf or Kirilenko but I’m a blogger not a comedian.
When your profession is professional wrestler and you go out the way Benoit did, I think your “respect for the dead” comedian grace period shrinks considerably.
^well said and true. I woulda waited til Sept. 1 but that’s me.
Detlef Schrempf is a good call, Bridge Nelson does not deserve to be put in the same sentence with Bird…i am not even a celtics fan, but its just not a good one. even in a comedic point of view, schrempf is a better punchline, except most people at the roast probably wont get the reference, and thats the problem…
I love how Jimmy’s “Mind of Mencia”/environment joke had nothing to do with sports — you just felt like including it.
Yo, what’s good…
Kind of sad I still haven’t watched this yet…
All of those jokes about his complexion were really uncalled for. I mean couldn’t they see his kids sitting in the audience, who were about as dark as he is? That’s seriously fucked up.
Color is a serious issue for a lot of people, especially within “ethnic” communities.
Jimmy kimmel is funny. That joke on Lisa Lampanelli was crazy. I can’t believe he said she was and looked like an ugly dog.
