Some of those Comedy Central ones I remember having a great time watching. I wouldn’t be surprised if they aged badly though.
I miss watching Roasts as I’ve always thought it was a great concept. The only show I can think of that streams any though is Netflix. They have a historical roast show where everyone’s dressed up as a character from history. Sounds like it could be a fun concept, but the execution is terrible. Plus, I’d just prefer a plain roast.

A lot of the Comedy Central ones are on Crave, if you’re in Canada.

I still like the Shatner roast, though Lisa Lampanelli is terribly unfunny.

I found a bunch of the Dean Martin roasts from the 70s-80s at my local Goodwill. Haven't watched them yet, but I recall enjoying the infomercial.

My favourite is still the Richard Pryor roast , comedy IMO at its finest.

Comedy Central has a bunch of good themed compilation clips on YouTube.

I believe the Dean Martin roasts are on Prime Video and are amazing. The Comedy Central roasts are hit and miss for me.

I love the comedy central roasts. I used to tape them when I lived at my mom's house even. Would watch them over and over again for background noise.

The amusing thing with the Comedy Central roasts is when the non-comedian performers came to the podium. They were either really good or f***ing terrible. There was like, no in-between.

I think you can only see it on DVD, but Denis Leary’s chance to respond is amazing. Especially the Lenny Clarke stories and his run for mayor.

I loved when it was super obvious the material was written for them. I can’t remember which roast it was, but Hulk Hogan was one of the roasters. He even said before reading a really vile joke off some notes, “Do I really have to say this?” |

Ann Coulter rewriting half her material to be about her book and totally bombing, and then basically getting the whole roast redirected at her was absolutely hilarious. |

I'm gonna out on a limb and assume the Dean Martin roasts have aged poorly.

I can't remember if Ann Coulter or The Situation bombed harder. They were both real wretched, though. |

Paramount Plus has a bunch of the roasts. A couple are missing, but most are there. They also have Roast Battle, which has a lot of the behind the scenes writers just roasting each other. Pretty funny stuff on there, too.

Jimmy Carr's roast of Ann Coulter from Rob Lowe's one actually borders on uncomfortable at numerous stages due to Jimmy just railing into pretty much everything about her existence. |

I feel all things considered Carr let her off easy. Nikki Glaser went full savage though. That Mexican Line is maybe one of the top 3 Roastlines ever. |

Norm Macdonald’s bit on the Comedy Central Bob Saget roast is still one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.
