The links to the videos in this post no longer work. The page displays a message: “his video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Viacom International Inc.” We posted about the YouTube–Viacom lawsuit on Tuesday.

Positively devastating YouTube clip of Jeff Ross skewering Flavor Flav on Comedy Central’s recent highly-rated roast. (When did we stop referring to him as “Flava” and start calling him “Flavor?”)

Carrot Top‘s clip is beating out Ross’ in terms of plays. The folks who leave comments below the clip seem shocked that he would be so funny and nearly all grudgingly admit that the set was well done. He seems a bit flipped at first, but settles in nicely when he gets to the props, at one point remarking, “I shoulda gone to the props first!” The Top was the second most dumped-on attendee, after the guest of honor, so it took some guts for him to get up there. Some would say it took guts to show up.

From MediaWeek.com:

The Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav soared to a 2.9 household rating with 3.8 million total viewers on Sunday, August 12 at 10 p.m. Comparably, that is the cable net’s highest rated telecast of the year and the most-watched roast ever among men 18-34. It was also the highest-rated show of the day on basic cable among adults 18-49 (2.5 rating). And it grew from the year-ago roast of William Shatner by as much as 89 percent among adults 18-34.
