[glow=red,2,300]Rob Lowe Roast[/glow]
Half way and so far it's brutal... But funny as hell.
Cause Ann Coultor is just getting slammed. Yes, we know all the
jokes about Rob. It's the others slamming the other guests that
make this very funny. I'm sure Comedy Central will replay.
Check it out

I've been waiting for this to drop for the past 3 weeks. Once
it's on Comedy Central's On Demand feed, I intend to watch this
for sure. The promos for the Roast were funny as f*ck.

I don't think this will be a 'Spoiler', but if you don't want to
read how abysmal Ann Coulter was... then stop.
It was clear the whole time when the camera was on Ann Coulter,
she was either seething, but holding back... or I'm guessing has
zero sense of humor and didn't get any of it.
That became clear when it was her turn at the podium.

Ann Coulter Wrote Most of Her Rob Lowe Roast Jokes, Rejected
Comedy Central Writers' Quips[/glow]
"She does not understand humor or joy."
Ann Coulter did not want to use the jokes Comedy Central writers
crafted for her, instead putting her own material together for
the Roast of Rob Lowe, which premiered Monday, according to
writers Mike Lawrence and Earl Skakel, who did a Facebook Live
session after the event aired.
Coulter's performance was not well received and she was booed
more than once. Even though it did not make it to air, she also
had a problem with the teleprompter not working at one point,
which clearly irked the conservative political commentator.
Coulter, who made it clear she was at the roast to plug her new
book, In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!, took multiple jabs
at Hillary Clinton during her set. Those jokes were met with
silence and some confused looks from the audience, which
included Maria Shriver.
Lawrence and Skakel, with a little help from a hand puppet
dubbed "Coultergeist," shared some of the jokes that were
written for Coulter, which she passed on because "She does not
understand humor or joy,” Lawrence said.
Some of the rejected jokes were:
“Peyton Manning is a model citizen and his forehead is a model
for the wall that Trump’s going to put between the U.S. and
Mexico.”
“Ralph Macchio‘s first-ever credit was in the movie, Up the
Academy playing a character called Chooch Bambalazi. Are you
serious? Even Donald Trump thinks it’s too racist to call a wop
Chooch Bambalazi.” Lawrence added, "She turned down saying
'wop,' That's a fun joke."
"And before you ask Jeff [Ross], I wouldn't f— you with Hillary
Clinton's dick."
“Rob Lowe is like America: He hasn’t been great since Reagan was
president and unemployment is becoming more and more of a
problem for him.”
In addition to pretty much bombing her set, Coulter was shown on
camera numerous times not laughing when she was being ribbed.
Lowe confirmed she did not seem to enjoy herself.
This is true. We all laughed when we got hammered. She
didn't. #ItsAllGood

The Ann Coulter stuff has been circulating online and in the
press since the taping of the show. Everyone already knows about
it...myself included.

I've heard nothing about why she was there, but I can say that
after watching a few Comedy Central Roasts', they always seem to
have that one odd person that doesn't belong on stage. She fits
that bill.

She was there to promote her pro-Trump book.

I just watched the Rob Lowe Roast and it was like watching a
train wreck. To be fair, I have the same feeling about all
roasts' out there because those involved always go way over the
line to the point of being mean and not funny. Now, this one in
particular was an even bigger train wreck than normal and as Mac
clearly pointed out, it starts and ends with Ann Coulter. She
was not amused and was just biding her time so that she could
hawk her book and I know that they purposely kept her second to
last so that she had to stay on stage and take the abuse. Had
she gone earlier in the show, she no doubt would have bailed.
So, a smart move on the show runner to make sure she was stuck.
As for her 'Roast' of everyone on stage....it was beyond awful.
It was a lead balloon being held down by a two ton truck. You
could hear a pin drop during her Roast. THAT was painful to
watch and listen to.
Overall, the show was just okay for me. Ann wasn't the only one
that bombed. Half the celebs on stage bombed as well.
Surprisingly, Jewel turned out to be the funniest and on point
with her barbs. One thing I gotta point out, when it comes to
Roast in general, those getting burned on stage always offer up
a fake smile or laugh to hide the fact they are trying to
maintain composure but are hating what they are sitting through.
To Rob's credit, he was genuinely enjoying it all. You can't
fake it like that. He was having fun. Even Peyton Manning was
having fun being made fun of. Worth checking out in spite of or
in favor or Coulter.

Yea, the Dave Glover Show (drive time radio) was talking and
brought the comparison to the old Dean Martin Roasts. Then, the
roasts were by friends.
Comedy Centrals roasts are organized by find just a variety of
people. There's no connection. Just people reading jokes. It's
all very forced.
I did enjoy some... Yes Jewel was rather surprisingly good. I
could give a rats ass about Lowe. But as Chip said, it's like a
train wreck. I just had to watch because of Coulter.
