Joan Rivers’ Best Roast Comebacks 🔥

[@salviaofficinalis02]

She put her life on the line with some of her jokes, utterly fearless woman.

[@carlosfontanez1835]

so sensitive. Is a roast is a comedy get over it

[@brandonclifford50]

@@carlosfontanez1835 what’s your problem? They are literally praising her 😂

[@charsobishi]

Well she dead so not much else to lay down

[@davidthomas-ot4cl]

She put her life on the line??? What nonsense.

[@generalyellor8188]

BS. I'm old enough to have followed her since the 70's, and once social media arrived, I quickly noticed that she loved to dish out the insults but was terrible at taking them. Lost a lot of respect for her with that hypocrisy.

[@tsquirrel8675]

"You used to look your age and now you dont look your species" 😂 Rest in Peace Greg and Joan

[@Doggieworld3Show]

She called Robin a mudslide 😂😂😂🤣

[@VincentWilliams007]

Two fantastic comedians.

[@monrocsol1739]

You are a funny guy!

[@jlobiafra]

@@Doggieworld3Show greg giraldo said Robin looked like a "syrup bottle" and 😆

[@HeavyWeightHank]

R.I.P gilbert also

[@rodentcafeteria]

I'm surprised Betty White wasn't there. She was the only person I ever saw who could go toe-to-toe with Joan Rivers.

[@ytsn_THE_OG]

100% the exact same thought I had. That should have been the first person they booked. Those two used to insult each other back and forth without taking a breath. It was amazing lol

[@nathanfitzgerald6651]

I remember seeing that on late night TV interview shows back in the '80s, Joan and Betty certainly had some playful fun together.

[@rodentcafeteria]

@@nathanfitzgerald6651 Definitely. You could tell they really enjoyed going back and forth with each other.

[@meepcow6848]

Uhhh Betty White died before this video was posted.... I don't know if this was filmed earlier tho.

[@rodentcafeteria]

@@meepcow6848 Not sure what year this roast took place, but Joan Rivers died in 2014, and Betty White in 2021. So, she was very much alive at the time this took place.

[@TheSamanthaEdit]

"You stole the face of the burger king!" Will always make me cackle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 RIP Joan 💜

[@Oblivitana]

😭😭

[@1bwash]

Everyone wants to hate on Kathy, but Kathy always gives people the credit they deserve. Joan is a trailblazer and icon.

[@MakuraZalis]

Its because Kathy is an oversaturated comedian. She's everywhere

[@letsgobrandon6281]

Yeah. Shes repugnant

[@drsch]

People hate Kathy because she's an absolutely disgusting human being who hasn't been funny one day in her life.

[@jamesgreen6608]

She was really close to Joan. Those two women are absolutely incredible. You can tell the connection between them on stage

[@jamescarr1265]

Kathy became kinda unbearable once she went political. I agree with her politics but she’s pretty cringe now.

[@lorenlash9174]

Joan's jokes were so much better than everyone roasting her. And of all the plastic faces in Hollywood, her's looked effing great. Miss her so much!

[@moisesmeza2974]

Giraldo and Gottfried we're killing it!

[@redacted2275]

She had Johnny Carson's "seal of approval", the most nitpicking yet funnier man in entertainment. The only bad thing about her was the spawn of all of those Joan River's wannabes...

[@Lon.BedStuyforLife]

yeah, I felt that their jokes on Joan were pretty tiring, repetitive, lame, and not very funny. 🤷🏽‍♀

[@sweetlygaming6127]

It really is

[@markalexander3659]

Sorry, you think that face looks "great"?!?!?! Do you have cataracts?

[@Kaiannag]

“Loved you in saw.” Made my jaw drop yo. 😩😭😩😭😩😭😩

[@blackdateline1996]

I hollered

[@lunanegra6253]

You don’t know how much I miss Joan Rivers, she was and is my favorite comic and there will never be another like her.

[@leeriches8841]

I know. She was one in a trillion. I miss her so much too. Not just as a comedian but also as a generous human being with the same views and beliefs.

[@lesliecruguet4136]

she's not dead...she's in the witness protection program for outing Michelle Obama as a trans- wake up people.

[@bongchoof]

The mudslide joke sent me into the atmosphere.

My fav

[@greymatter2059]

the shade of it all XD

[@thesinfulyogini2073]

SENT!!

[@RB01.10]

That was the best one, it slayed me when I first heard it

[@chrguy606]

We had lift off!

[@thomaschapman9112]

Gilbert’s whole speech was more romantic than the Fifty Shades Trilogy 🤣🤣🤣

[@aroseprince]

Gilbert Godfried is the only one who made me really lose it

[@lemonice7536]

​@@aroseprinceYeah, Joan and Gottfried were the only people on the same level.

[@chromicapop4595]

Pffft 😂😂😂😂

[@Jen7867]

Gilbert's monologue was amazing.

[@waterbearer4627]

"By the way loved you in Saw", so funny the way she delivered that line!

[@chaitea3421]

“She spread her legs and I was immediately bombarded with a flurry of bats 🦇 “ The visual plsss

[@RB01.10]

The mudslide joke at 5:05 about Robin slayed me 😂😂😂😂

[@anthonyhebisen]

I laughed so hard, I had to use my asthma inhaler . Such a slay

[@dannyhernandez2203]

Wow. I use that joke and people don't realize I borrowed it from the great Joanie

[@125Dave8]

Mario Cantone’s set is underrated. The Bette Davis impersonation, the Hebrew name joke, the Grey Gardens reference. He is a great comedian

[@feelingveryattackedrn5750]

I dont think the delivery was all there but yeah smart jokes

[@LainaLane]

The Hebrew name joke was hilarious.

[@Cebelle823]

Mario is such a funny comedian. 😂😂😂

[@ruthrackham2983]

the bette davis impersonation is incredible...

[@llwydanwyl]

not really, gay guy doing gay jokes is unimaginative

[@lavenberry]

We never thought we'd see the day when Joan Rivers wasn't here. When she died at 81 years old, we were all stunned and we're still stunned. She opened doors for so many and took a lot of punches but always stood up, punched back and kept going. She got the last laugh.

[@austinl169]

She was also a wonderful author! I listened to her audio book - long before digital services like Audible! - called "Bouncing Back". She didn't have an easy life and gave a great motivational message in that volume.

[@ayejay8862]

Gilbert Godfried's story gave me a near-death experience. Seriously too funny.

[@benjaminnicholas5527]

Bro i should have gotten last rights before watching that bit

[@dianakidd4219]

I was watching that on KZbin, still so funny

[@SwaggieVortex733]

And Gilbert Gottfried (he's in the video)

[@moonshinesa8234]

That was my sister’s favourite show. She mentioned it last night and said how much she misses Joan and her quick wit.

[@rebelnotestudios]

Joan looks so joyful here. You can tell this was a major happy moment for her. RIP. everyone in heaven is laughing a lot more now.

[@KalomikaArts]

The mudslide line was lethal

[@ualaw77]

That Bette Davis impersonation was spot-on.

[@christineadam6764]

Joan was THE BEST. thank you for the laughs.

[@Gregory-q4j]

There's no one like Joan. She was a genius.

[@mojekino2]

Everyone is trying make fun of her but still she is the funniest 🤣

[@rudyspective1870]

I greatly admire comedians for their nerves of steel and the heart to laugh at themselves, even when the insults strike close to their very bone. And Joan is a class act. Miss her.

[@consolatanzomo5204]

Joan Rivers.....a legend! Amazing comedian. Loved her jokes even the risqué ones.......

[@davidfischer2181]

I'm in 100% agreement, a true LEGEND with a ❤ of gold (look up her charity work). Also watch her documentry "A Piece of Work" showing her career and charity. RIP JOAN

[@benschaeffer8102]

Mario Cantone's Bette Davis laid me out on the floor. I nearly spit my Tea out. 😂😂😂😂

[@X_crypto1977]

Joan was a celebrity guest in a major New Orleans Mardi Gras parade one year. We attended the ball where the parade route went inside the convention center. As Joan’s float passed for some reason our eyes met and she blew me the biggest kiss and smile ever!!! ❤❤ it made my night 🎉

[@bluestrife28]

My kitten was suddenly very confused when Gilbert started talking, just sat staring head cocked sideways 😂😂

[@matthewbermudez5105]

Almost ten years, and there still isn’t anyone who makes me laugh like you still can, Joan!

[@thecerebralassassin661]

Facts 👌💯

[@ISEEKSPACE]

Bro, Gilbert Gottfried killed it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bigboy2217]

His set was the only part that wasn’t Joan that got me audible laughing

[@aroseprince]

I want a man who sees me like he saw her

[@Dan-cb5xx]

I miss Joan. And it's always nice seeing Robin Quivers.

[@jayspencer8893]

The mudslide line was one of the funniest comebacks of all time.

[@KraXoom]

“I’ll give you the same advice I gave David Carradine… Hang in there” that was brutal 💀

[@Ciclopea2]

Whitney was actually very funny in this, and man i love Joan and miss her, she was one of a kind.

Carl reacting to Joan yelling at him reminds me of my grandparents. Such old couple energy.

[@Luzanne.]

I don’t remember the last time I laughed so much. Gottfried’s set with the winking unicorn killed me.

[@davidfischer2181]

Joan always stopped telling jokes about someone if they were offended by what she said, however didn't apologize if it was the truth. RIP JOAN miss you

[@ericalovemiamibeach5393]

Joan is the Queen of roasting. Her comebacks are better then any of her guests remarks. RIP brilliant Lady ❤️

I still miss her very much. What a creative inventive and forward comedian she was

I'm so Glad she lived to be Celebrated. May her Memory and Soul always Rest in Laughs.

I miss her Fashion Police shows too. She was hysterical!

[@bevrosity]

no woman has ever made me lierally laugh out loud as much as her. rip you legend

[@leeriches8841]

No person full stop has made me laugh as much as Joan! Never a dull moment in any of her shows. Even the best of the best usually have the odd lull in their sets but she was on fire from curtain up to curtain down.

[@ohthelovelypoems]

Saw her in person at a theater in the round decades ago and she made us laugh the second she hit the stage and the laughs never stopped. What a show! What a comic icon! Miss you, Joan. 💜❤💜❤

[@mikecurtis11]

I never knew about The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers until finding KZbin clips of it. What a shame they cancelled it. Her interviews were great and her musical guest selections were very hip. She had a knack for interviewing people quite different from herself. It's great that Joan was the first woman talk show host, but totally ridiculous they didn't keep running her show, or that no other woman had a show since then.

[@evand2]

Kathy Griffin was an AMAZING roast master. Bring her back to work!!! The world needs her comedy, now!

[@LeslieJayBoschPhoto]

don't speak for me

[@zarathustra642]

I am black and that “mudslide” joke was incredibly harmful and offensive, but somehow Joan will always make me absolutely cackle at the most terrible things 🤣🤣🤣

[@mistersurrealist]

I don't see how that joke was "harmful and offensive" to anyone but Robin Quivers.

[@TheSamanthaEdit]

Yeah, that joke was as bad as the molestation joke, and I hate myself for how hard I laughed at it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 For the non black people who are confused about why it is offensive, there are several racial slurs referencing "Mud", that specifically target darker skinned Black people.

[@justynjonn]

it was hysterical! the molestation part was a little.....

[@BadseedGarden]

@@TheSamanthaEdit it's supposed to be offensive, and it's supposed to be funny. If you're having to question the morality of a joke you're missing the point entirely.

[@KalomikaArts]

That was the point.

[@shadymercury]

this was THE BEST Comedy Central Roast EVER! This was the ONLY celebrity roast where the guest of honor truly destroyed everyone on the stage. They all tried to come for Joan, but when she got up there, she read them all for FILTH LOL! Still can't believe she's gone 😢 #JoanRivers
