Lots of clapping, not a lot of laughing

their reactions definitely add to the battle. made me feel better about laughing at the meanness!

My favorite, but I would have picked the other comedian as the winner.

@@abm697 I agree 100%. I've been a fan of Daniel Sloss since his first Conan interview, while I only know Phil Wang from Taskmaster, and even I have to give this one to Phil.

Thank you very much for he explanation! I must admit I have only seen her previously on Big Fat Quiz and Catsdown where I had a little trouble understanding her (I'm not a native English speaker). I wasn't sure if comedy is the right place for her so I was a bit sceptical seeing her roasting Alex - and it was absolutely hilarious!!! I laughed tears. Two humans with handicaps going at each other? Only on British TV and it's bloody brilliant and very progressive!!

Taskmaster is where I first saw and she had me cracking up. Ever see the Sneezing outtake?

I agree she’s very very funny , also I do find myself being attracted to her sexually 😂😂

I had to google that just to make sure you weren't joking. Their whole energy through the roast was borderline uncomfortable, it seemed like they actually hated each other lol. Turns out it was just unresolved romantic tension. I'm legitimately happy for them. How many couples are comfortable enough with each other to roast one another in front of the whole world? Edit: Aaaaand as if to prove my point, I just finished the Catherine vs. Sarah roast. Apparently they split up during the COVID lockdown. I guess when you drop a relationship nuke like saying "I will never marry you" in front of millions of people for the sake of a joke roast battle, there's no coming back from that.

@@eatgreencrayons lets wait for another battle between them for conclusive evidence ;) As for Alfie and Jessie: hate is just next to love in intensity. The death of a relationship is indifference...

so cold! loved that roast

But knew fuckall about keeping at least 40% of his “earnings” back just ‘in case’ lol

@@gedjones5977 as they say. the politicians made that loophole for themselves and got mad others found it

Agreed!

it really is, and even better knowing they got back together

Oh, did they? Cool ​@@vintrovariety

It's a shame they broke up Sarah's now non binary

"baseless self confidence" gets me everytime!

That roast had me crying with laughter. Can’t remember the last time I laughed that hard.

was robbed for sure! but I like Fern so it was ok with me. haha

@@vintrovariety To be fair to both, who were great, Ferns quip about being on the tv show despite his schooling wins the battle

Yes. Great battle, but I thought Ivo would win it as well.

I'll have Series 3 up in the next couple days and 4 will be shortly after that!

@@vintrovariety You're the best! Honestly as a fan in the U.S. it's hard to find lot of these. If I may also ask for a special request to leave in Jimmy's banter with the other guest judges in the later seasons that takes place in between the roasts. I recall seeing the one with Big Narstie as being hilarious!

i agree! shouldn't be a problem at all@@AJKing-vc8mp

​@@AJKing-vc8mp have you watched Jimmy and Big Narstie roasting each other on Narstie's show? The other guy on was like WTF?!?! (seemingly not knowing how roasting works)

wish i could take credit. haha. those were original show graphics

I recently looked into this too and was happy to see that. Still seemed like they liked each other and felt like they could work things out.

Agreed, and I am from NY. The roast battles in the old days with Dean Martin and all the older comedians was absolutely the golden age of comedy for us, Nowadays, they just spew out a bunch of vulgar crap. I don't even bother watching them. British comedians always manage to keep it classy, even when they delve into the raunchy stuff.

Honestly I think it's because they all enjoy each other and aren't afraid to show it. American comedians all seem to be doing their own thing these days.

@@savorymarshmallows I have to agree with that. I mean, the Brits do those jokes as well. But they aren’t crude about it, and genuinely enjoy each other.

​@@Paulie151 It's interesting to see what an outside view of this. For example, as a Brit I can definitely say that many of the comedians in the Roast Battle are considered quite crude over here. But that isn't as much of a negative as it seems to be over there. One of the reasons I prefer the UK version though is the genuine camaraderie that you can see between the Battlers. In Series 1 Mark Steel (famous Left Wing 80s comedian) went up against his son and after one truly vicious) joke his reply was along the lines of "I know it's wrong, but I feel proud of him coming up with that". 😁 I wonder if size is a factor? The UK is a pretty small island so the chances of comedians bumping into each other is higher. It means they have a chance to get to know each other more and know firstly how far to push each other and secondly what the likely reaction is so they can build their to integrate each other's humour. Or maybe they're just funny... 😁

@@EthanKristopherHartley That might have something to do with it, especially for you guys. Of course, there's differences in our cultures (lol, we have culture?), that affect how we view comedy. But even though I'm from here, I've always loved British comedy. As far as why it's different, I think a lot of it has to do with our typical 'dog eat dog' mentality. Everyone here thinks they have to be the best, and that they have to outdo everyone else. I've always hated that, and I really don't see much evidence of it across the pond. I know we share similar social issues, but generally, I think you guys handle things better. At least, that's the way it looks to me.

If its a close run thing they will usually go against privilege the gradient.

agreed, his "and it's lovely to hear you mangling two languages tonight..." line was brilliant

​@@mikefry4567 Absolutely it was.

I agree, they gave it to the 'girl' bet even she hates winning like that, she's great but Ivo won it

Yes Ivo def funnier with the great adlibbed come backs.​@@kg9441

I agree. I like him, but felt he was a bit too much for this. I think he'll be better when he gets a bit older and calms down a bit, lol.

Don't think they had much choice with all the stuff he's currently being accused of

He was awesome lol snowflakes just upset 😂

@@grindcorgzbecause rape funny?

What a pratt

the banter between the judges can be really good!

might be my favorite of all the roasts. and each time i have a different winner

I think I had Sloss marginally ahead myself, but agree that it was an awesome one.

Jimmy's judgement of this one is pretty spot on. That name joke was amazing.@@scottwallbank4794

I agree, I think Sloss had slightly funnier jokes that spun some tired stereotypes but I think Wang had a better roast (ie. his jokes felt a bit harder while also being funny)

glad you enjoyed! I'll have series 4 up soon

I like when he tells us when he would have voted the other way. That usually validates me thoughts haha

@@vintrovariety That's good. He judged the jokes, instead of everything else. He tells how votes and he says how many jokes each won.

that is harsh, was not aware of this!

Wow, didn't know that. That is sad.

Damn - that is sad. It's always the most awesome-seeming couples...😢

Absolutely

haha now I can stop thinking about the scene in the restaurant when he's mean to the waiter!

Oh Catherine caught it

stephen bailey looks like clay aiken if he were even more gay

matt richardson looks like a lesbian version of the drag queen Jan Sport out of drag

naz osmanoglu looks like the one guy from that meme from catfish that says "you got me there"

facts!

Well, she picked the lad who was up against Catherine

The only male she has chosen in male v female was her boyfriend. Terrible judge

Box tick programming for the vacant masses.

Yeah that first chick never should have won

I see you've liked your own comment. Not surprising from your sort.

She also consistently only votes for the female contestants.

She is especially funny when she hails the weaker comedian the winner because they also are a sad, single mum.

@@rnw2739 Oh look, misogyny!

@@Khono Oh look, misandry!!!

@@rnw2739 Nope, pointing out misogyny is not, in fact, misandry.

I think I have an idea for my next compilation 😅 Also, just caught that too
