For what it's worth - I honestly can't see how that's Trump's style of humour. I'm not a big fan of the celebrity roasts in general. I think some of the humour is great, but most is just crude. I don't mind crude things at all - but they at least have to be funny.

I'm a huge fan of celebrity roasts and I think Trump enjoyed it.

Overall it was a very fun roast.

OK - Anthony Jesselink was NOT funny. He's got funny delivery, but the material sucked. I may be dating myself here (hell, I'm on my second date with myself already today), but look at this from the Dean Martin celebrity roasts to get a sense of what a good roast is all about. Don Rickles did his entire routine ad-lib. All these new guys come up there with material written for them. I mean come-on, "The only difference between you and Michael Douglas in Wall Street is that no one would be upset if you got cancer?" That's just cruel. Enjoy real roasting...

Rickles and the rat pack were before my time, but it's a mistake to compare Rickles, a legend at his craft, with the current roster of roasters. And the video only shows the public roasting. I've heard that the private roastings that took place among that crowd were every bit as cruel and dirty as what we now see in the current crop. The Trump roast was mediocre even for contemporary roasts. The Flava Flav Roast was one the best and it was crass and filthy all around.

I remember watching those roasts with my dad when I was a kid.

Interesting how Rickles ended his roast with a tribute to Hope whereas the people today just sort of walk off the stage.

At first I thought it was ok but then it waned - badly. (I liked the Jew That Killed Jesus joke but it was actually the Romans that carried it out).

There's no comparison to the Master (Rickles).

I remember watching these too. Imagine someone like Billy Graham at a roast today. By the way, was that Mark Sptiz at about the 3:30 mark?

Did anyone make any jokes about that tumbleweed on Trump's head?
That's such an easy target.

Why would anyone want to subject themselves to that kind of often funny but crude
abuse? Does it pay that well?

I believe it was for charity!
