For those who haven't followed Bob Saget lately, he still has a squeaky-clean image as the head of the Tanner family on Full House However, as viewers of the controversial but hilarious documentary The Artistocrats Saget seems a fitting choice as a guest/victim for Comedy Central's raunchy "Roast" series, in which a celebrity and his or her career is basically "ripped a new one" by the Roastmaster (in this case Full House Like The Aristocrats Of the roasters, I found Giraldo, Gottfried and Norton to be among the funniest, though each roaster has their moments - save perhaps for Norm MacDonald. MacDonald's act consists of deliberately telling extremely corny jokes that are more groan-worthy than laugh-out-loud funny (Sample: "Bob... you have lot of well-wishers here tonight, and a lot of them would like to throw you down... a well.") His act is sometimes an acquired taste and doesn't always work - and based on the groans and nervous laughter from the audience, it didn't seem to work well on this night. Also, while the show starts off strong with Giraldo, the raunchy jokes actually become too repetitive. They consist mainly of four categories:
Overall, while not all the jokes work (and some are repetitive), there are plenty of laughs on this DVD. Still, those easily offended (and/or those who still hold a clean-cut image of Saget) might need to be warned ahead of time. Their image of Dad Tanner (and Uncle Jesse) will never be the same. Extras: The extras mainly focus on pre- and post-roast interviews and consist largely of more of the same raunchy humor. |
