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.
