Whitney Cummings, Greg Giraldo, George Hamilton: Who was David Hasselhoff's filthiest roaster?
Twitter
Google
Let us start by saying that no, we don't have an answer for why Hulk Hogan and George Hamilton were on the dais at the "Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff."But while they had no discernible connection to the Hoff -- save for being the butt of frequent jokes themselves -- they delivered the dirty jokes written for them reasonably well (though the Hulkster initially blanched at a particularly filthy line about fellow roaster Pamela Anderson). Hamilton put it best: "I'm a classically trained actor, but even I can't act like I give a s*** about these people."
Neither Hamilton nor Hogan, though, was even close to the night's dirtiest jokester. Let's run down a few of the competitors, shall we?
After a (relatively) mild introduction from roastmaster Seth MacFarlane, Lisa Lampanelli led off by targeting Hasselhoff's drinking -- roasts are all about the easy targets, after all: "I don't want to say David drank a lot, but his liver is so black and bloated it could've starred in 'Precious.'"
Jeffrey Ross, noting the similarities between Hasselhoff and Anderson (who took almost as much flak as the guest of honor): "She and Hasselhoff have so much in common -- both have made embarrassing videos with meat stuffed in their mouths."
Whitney Cummings: "David Hasselhoff's d*** is like a Polaroid picture: No one uses it anymore, and shaking it doesn't make it appear any faster."
Our pick, though? Greg Giraldo, who got the final roasting spot and delivered this doozy:

What did you think of the roast? Who took it the furthest?

I think the roast of the Hoff was great! All except that whitney cummings. She said some really nasty stuff, espically to pam anderson. It almost seems as if she uses "comedy" to say what she really thinks about people. She stinks.
I didn't find the roast funny at all. It was a bunch of terrible comedians making **** jokes about david because they have nothing better to do! It wasn't funny! And they actually couldn't find 2 more terrible comedians, so they got hulk hogan and hamilton somthing to fill in. I mean the people are making fun of him when he has accomplished more with his little talent than they ever will! The Whole thing sucked. Also because more than half the time they were making fun of the roasters! I mean COME ON. If you are going to make a joke about someone don't make it over and over again. Hogans gay! Lisas Fat! Ross is a Jew! Seriously, no talent required at all. The Same goes for David. Hes an alchoholic! He has no talent! He had a singing career! SHUT THE **** UP. The only exception was Seth McFarlane, who was really funny! His introduction roast was the best part, and the only reason I watched the rest of the damn thing.All in all, the roasters were terrible, the jokes were terrible, disgusting and stupid, and david hasselhoff in general was not a great target for roasting. It sucked balls. I would have rather got kicked in the balls and then punched in the face. GOD DAMNIT I ******* HATED IT SO MUCH
Whitney Cummings was the funniest part of the whole show! Ive never laughed so hard in my life. Gilbert Gottfried surprised me as well. Hilarious!
All of the roasts have alot of jokes about the roasters. Thats half of the fun of the show. The point is that no one is safe. Pam Anderson is an easy target, thats why they all make nasty jokes about her. Shes known for her massive *****, sluttiness, and her porn. Why wouldnt they make nasty jokes about her?
This was a lousy roast. In the entire hour and half, they mostly roasted each other, and barely roasted the Hoff. This could have been done SO MUCH better. I was really looking forward to it, and was GREATLY DISAPPOINTED.
I still think the best one was the one with William Shatner.
All was pretty good except Whitney Cummings evil below the belt disgusting remarks
Well, I loved it. Everyone was spectacular...even Hulk Hogan, not known for comedy, did very well. Of course, Greg Giraldo stole the show for me. And I don't care what anyone says, I thought Whitney Cummings was hilarious!
And, to Drew...David Hasslehoff volunteered to be roasted. It's not like these people just pick celebrities willy-nilly to go up there and make an *** of theirselves--they volunteer theirselves because they enjoy it. If anything, these "roasts" are like a celebration of their accomplishments, put in the form of sarcastic, insultive comedy.
I really hope someone made a joke about how he was drunk on Americas Got Talent all the time and was probably banging the Talent in his trailer after the show.
Jeez, roasts have been around for a good 90 years and they consist of being mean to the roastee, who is hardly surprised at the way they get treated, AND being mean to the other roasters! It's quite sad that the person being roasted is better with than the comments than someone who isn't his mom.
I don't usually bother to comment on these things, but I had to say something to the idiot who said he "hated this roast." Like all the roasts, it was hilarious. Of course the jokes were cheap and crass and filthy. THAT'S THE POINT OF A ROAST, YOU DOPE. All the comics were hilarious, including Whitney Cummings. If you see Pamela Anderson on the dais, OF COURSE you're going to get a bunch of jokes about her t**ts and her sex life. Or making fat jokes about Pizza...I mean, Lisa Lampinelli, and so on. Do you even understand how these things work? They ask people to participate, and then they pass out a list of who will be there. Each comic then has to come up with jokes about the Roastee and the other Roasters. What the hell do you THINK they're going to joke about then? Seriously, get a friggin' clue.
My suggestion is that you go back to watching Jeff Foxworthy and Gallagher if you can't deal with the kind of jokes grownups like to make.
