i have seen the usa roasts which seem to have started too in the uk, but its not as sharp to me.

we have for years mocked everyone and everything. we woulkd burn the union jack for a giggle. this is not somthing you would do in the usa.

what ricky did was great. he pushed the bounderies. to bew honest there are many uk comics who would consider that mild, and would be far more insulting and ruder.

just stop posting you have ZERO idea what you are talking about, if you did you would know that chris rock and billy crystal both hosted awards ceremonies and insulted the crowds, albeit they were funny whereas gervias last nite was not.

moreover, the following is a short list of american comedians who's schtick is to insult

* Andrew Dice Clay
* Billy Crystal
* Bob Hope
* Don Rickles
* Fred Allen
* Jeff Duran
* Redd Foxx
* Greg Giraldo
* Kathy Griffin
* Sam Kinison
* Lisa Lampanelli
* Jackie Mason
* jeffrey ross
* triumph the insulting dog
