re: The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts didn't age well

In this thread: A bunch of old guys living in the past pissed off at me for crapping on their teenage icons.

Sorry grandpa. The shite just isn't funny. I'm out. Continue hollering at the clouds.

Yes, the TigerDroppings M/TV board comedy threads are populated by a bunch of octogenarians who grew up idolizing Frank and Dean and the boys. You show more of your intelligence with each post.

It's fine if you don't think it aged well, but

1). Dean Martin was famous for his drunk schtick. It was part of his Vegas act and TV appearances for years. Well before my time, but it's just part of American entertainment history.

2). You must not pay attention to the modern Comedy Central roasts if you don't think they'd ever tolerate racist and sexist humor, or allow guests to appear on camera visibly impaired. Check out some of those uproarious Lisa Lampanelli jokes about how she bangs black guys because they're stupid but have big dicks, but aren't as lazy as Mexicans. Really deep, nuanced humor there.
