Review.

This is a trip down vulgarity road but if you like crass humor this is a canâ??t miss. They have gathered roast comedian, friends of William Shatners, famous quasi celebrities, and former work people altogether to roast William Shatner. The humor comes at you at frequent intervals and it seems every line out of a roasters mouth is a punch line putting down someone. No one is safe as everyone on stage is roasted and even people from the crowd get abused. This isnâ??t for everyone so if you do not like curse words and politically incorrect sexual references you might want to pass. The director should just stick to roast professionals such as Jeffrey Ross, Greg Giraldo. And Lisa Lampanelli as some of the novice people like Farrah Fawcett and Sandra Bullock were just not funny at all. Some highlights from the roast was Betty White was surprisingly funny and for once although stupid even Andy Dick had some bright moments. The Roast was very well hosted by Jason Alexander and he took his insults quite well. All in all this is a truly funny experience to witness as it has some blips but for the most part is truly hilarious. I give this roast a huge recommendation as the crass humor is so frequent it will have you in tears.

T Factor + If you know more about William Shatner and are a fan of his then this could score higher on the rating scale.

T Factor â?? Do not like crass and vulgar humor then this could score way lower on the rating scale.

If you liked this roast some recommendations: Pamela Anderson Roast, or Dennis Leary Roast.
