I thought Jeff Garlin, Norm McDonald, Lewis Black and Jon Lovitz gave the worst roasts. Lewis Black's was the worst, then Norm McDonald was the wort, then Lovitz, then Garlin.
Lewis Black's was the worst. I though all his jokes were weak. That's very shocking, because I'm a huge fan of Lewis Black and he had the potential to out-do everyone else at the roast. It's like he barely had anything to say about Bob Saget.
Norm McDonald needs to reinvent himself, because I don't feel anything but boredom with his style. He talks too slow, his material is weak and he fails to get my attention. I get the impression that he doesn't write material, but pulls it out of nowhere, but he has a hard time thinking of what to say, which causes his slowness to string jokes into an act. He was only funny when people were joking about him, and he just sits there submissively taking it.
Jon Lovitz's roast sucked too. I think he had great jokes, but the way he presented them was not great at all. He tried to be vulgar and offensive without being vulgar or offensive... and that's impossible. He acted pretty sissy-like on stage, and that doesn't help him.
Lastly, Jeff Garlin. You people [mostly] seem to like his roast, but as for me, I thought it was just plain stupid. He went up as a character and roasted the entire way through as that character? Andy Dick did it in Pamela Anderson's roast, and now Jeff Garlin did it? Is that supposed to be funny, a Jewish comedian impersonating a Jew? All he did was add a stereotypical Jewish accent. The actual content of the roast was weak. The only funny part I found in Garlin's roast was where he mocked John Stamos for pronouncing the name "Sol" as "Soul".
On the opposite side of the spectrum, I think Cloris, Greg Geraldo (the king of Comedy Central's roasts, in my opinion) and Bob Saget himself were the best.
