"Great roast, like most of the other ones...can't wait to see more of Comedy Central's lampoonings in the future. Be warned though...uncut and uncensored means raunchy and inappropriate, so this probably isn't for the easily offended. Everyone else, feel free to enjoy."

"This was an easy choice to by for me. I saw the censored version first and loved it. The roast is incredibly funny and I watch it a lot. Cloris Leachman is hysterical as well as Gilbert Godfrey. The bonus materials are good but not something that I would watch very often specially compared to the roast."
Raunchy!!!! ha ha

"This was non-stop laughter but VERY offensive to someone that doesn't have a sense of humor!"

"Not quite as funny as the Pamela Anderson Roast, this destruction/homage to Bob Saget is nonetheless funny. With a semi-lame John Stamos as Roastmaster, it was up to the various comedians and presenters to step up their game.
Cloris Leachman's deadpan performance and references to years past are hilarious, but when she drops the bomb that she's just at the event so she can F*#@ John Stamos, things get really funny. You haven't been shocked until you've heard Leachman say "reach around." Aside from a few weak contributions from Brian Posehn and John Lovitz, and three people (Sarah Silverman, Lewis Black, and Don Rickles) who were completely unfunny in their pre-taped appearances, other noteworthy performers delivered. Stalwarts Greg Giraldo, Jim Norton, and King of Roasts Jeffrey Ross all had several good jabs at not only Saget but others on stage. The most hilarious presentation, however, was delivered by gravel-voiced comedian Gilbert Gottfried when he continued to mention that "Bob Saget raped and killed a girl in 1990."
This Roast is also noteworthy because Norm Macdonald delivered the classic anti-Roast string of jokes that were so straight-faced and ridiculous that they caused tears of laughter from several comedians on stage. He intentionally bombed, and ended up being the one person remembered from this Roast the most. Some don't get it, but Macdonald is simply brilliant in his series of lame, 1950s-era puns mixed with raunchier material in his signature delivery.
