The best comedy roaster of all time is Greg Giraldo. Prove me wrong.

I double dog dare you. Don Rickles was great back in the day but still pales in comparison. Giraldo's roast of Flavor Flav is glorious and would be the GOAT for that alone.

I was literally about to post this exact video to prove you correct. He's one of my favorites.

My favorite line of his is when he talks about Katt Williams, "Man pimpin ain't easy, especially if you gotta stand on phone books to smack a bitch."

My favorite was to John Stamos.

"John was married to my favorite supermodel, Rebecca Romijn-O'Connell. John, you lost your wife to the fat kid from Stand by Me."

Followed by Hasselhoff's liver.

"Your liver is so shriveled, black, and dead, that if you put your ear to your side, you can hear it say, 'Whachoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?'"

I hope that is sarcasm or you are having a brain aneurism.

In the Flavor Flav one I absolutely lost my shite when he hit FF with these back to back jokes:

“You look like a burnt match. You look like a skeleton wrapped in electrical tape.”

Funniest lines I’ve ever seen at a roast.

It’s a tie between Greg Geraldo and Anthony Jeselnik

When Geraldo went after Kathy Griffin, it was pure gold

And that roast of Roseanne by Anthony was epic. She took it like a pro. That was probably my favorite of the roasts.

As an old man I just can’t put anyone ahead of Rickles.

Jeff Ross at the Emmit Smith roast is one of my favorites.

I’ve seen quite a bit of live comedy shows but watching Greg Giraldo’s standup in Austin was the funniest thing I’ve ever experienced. He gave zero Fs and roasted the shite out of people in the audience. He was cool as shite, and we even got to talk and take pics after the show.

Even though he’s one of the best comedians and roasters of all time, he was never the same person after his show Common Law failed.

Cold, nasty, and brutal is all I have to say about him.
Oh, and much funnier than Rickles.

I really liked Don Rickles - he was quick, witty, would make fun of everyone (blacks, Jews, WASPs, etc.) but he always complimented the person at the end of the roast. Great guy. Too bad we don’t have more of him these days.

Rickles did it with class, not vulgarity…. Only difference
