Vecchione already had a Taxi Driver reference for Ari, but forgot to call him Travis Shekel.

Soder: I like that Luis thought he had a shot at really winning last comic standing. You know... that clean prime time nbc show. You're a violent Puerto Rican drug addict who puts most of his time into calling 2 harmless girls whores.

Im glad there were a few zingers about Anthony's horrid skin condition.

Does Louis J Gomez own anything with sleeves?

bonnie is amazing...

i liked Normand's set with that shitty delivery that he has,i think he watched a lot of that Muppet Fozzie Bear. Got some good shots in.

When/if Ant sobers up he might regret doing this.

I couldn't help but read all of this in Mark Normand's voice

YEAAAAAAAA

mark normand is da best

a HA!

AKA Norm McDonald's delivery

i like him on podcasts a lot but i dont think low energy dry sarcasm is much of a fit for roasts.

What? Rich used the 'who's of who of who's that' joke from this sub
Conveniently for Ant the crowd wasn't mic'd.... but only during his set.

thats been a joke at pretty much every comedy central roast.

I had no idea I don't watch that shit.

For those who have not yet basked in the sublime wonder, Cumia @ 1:20. Watch it twice!

this is so fucking great...anthony hate really came from this? just because he fucked up a few jokes in one of the funniest few hours of comedy ive ever heard that he put on?

The roast as a whole was fuckin great. I laughed harder during that roast than I have at any TACS or any O&A show from the last couple of years. It was consistently funny. Ant is only taking shit because his set was awful and he wouldn't admit it. If he just admitted that he bombed and then broke down his set and made fun of himself it would have been great. Instead he went into denial and got shit on for it.

Yeah, I really liked that one about how Soder was like an "enigma machine". Get it? Because Opie and Jim can't communicate.

The line about being the only legal gun owner with an afro was top notch observational humor mixed with a dash of self-depreciation (as any good comic would do). What a hoot!

But my favorite joke was the one about Gomez cleaning his pool. It's those sort of original lines that really make his set so amazing.

  1. Ant didn't really "put on the roast". The roast was happening way before LoS joined TACS. Anthony just allowed it to be broadcast on his network, which was a no-brainer once LoS joined TACS. The roast itself was planned before they joined TACS, and was organized primarily by Rebecca and Christine. LoS were already thinking of broadcasting it (albeit lower quality) on their own, using the setup they had been using pre-TACS.

  2. Anthony didn't get shit for the entire roast anyway. Pretty much everyone said the roast in general was great. Anthony got shit for refusing to admit that he did poorly.

Well, it was uncomfortable..

Yeah I watched the show after reading all of the hate and came away very confused as to what the big deal was.

Ant was basically Ant. He didn't kill, he didn't bomb. He started out a bit nervous but hit his radio cadance after a few jokes. Not exactly sure what anyone was expecting- but just having on the dais as joke fodder made it him being there worth it.

Luis' set was actually way better upon re-watching. He seemed to have probably put the most effort into coming up with jokes.

Rich Vos is pretty funny, okay?

I've heard most of Luis Gomez's jokes before. The "likability of crib death" joke has been done loads of times.

That's the most low rent roast I've ever seen. Is that a middle school projector? Fitting 20 people on a dark stage in office chairs. Cool.

Love the skanks podcast but this is too cringy.

Take Ants set back in time and drop it on the Ho Chi Min trail! Holy fuck he stinks lmao

Jay's wife made me lose quite a bit of respect for him. As Patrice would say, Jay really is as uncool as he looks. If he was cool enough to pull off fingerless gloves and a 10 year old's haircut, he would be fucking better pussy. Simple as that.

Quiet

I had no idea I don't watch that shit.
