Flavor Gets Roasted

William Jonathan Drayton Jr.'s time has come -- the time to join the esteemed likes of Pamela Anderson, William Shatner, and Jeff Foxworthy as the recipient of a Comedy Central Roast, for "years of faithful service to the entertainment industry." Or in Drayton Jr. (aka Flavor Flav)'s case, for casting the mold on hip-hop hype men and later establishing himself via a particularly mind-numbing run on reality TV. Roasters include Patton Oswalt, Jimmy Kimmel, Carrot Top ... and of course, Snoop. Poor Brigitte.

Premieres 8/12 on Comedy Central. Got another clip for ya, from roaster Lisa Lampanelli -- but this is for 18+ eyes/ears only.

I remember the good old days when Flavor Flav was not selling himself out to stupid VH1 Celebreality shows.

Why do people find Lisa Lampanelli funny?

Her repertoire consists entirely of JEWS LOL BLACK PEOPLE LOL GAY PEOPLE LOL I LIKE THE COCK LOL ASIAN PEOPLE LOL.

Not to say that Snoop's roast wasn't crude. But he has a certain style that lets him get away with it.
