1
Our next roaster is Anthony Jeselnik.
2
Anthony Jeselnik's act combines the excitement of standing there with the thrill of saying words.
3
You know him best from me saying his name right now.
4
Please welcome a man who's got a bright future in something other than comedy, Anthony Jeselnik.
5
Thank you.
6
Seth MacFarlane, everybody.
7
Huh?
8
This is MacFarlane's third time hosting the show, which would come as no surprise, because when Seth MacFarlane does something,
9
by God, he repeats the living shit out of it.
10
My good friend Jeff Ross is here.
11
Yeah, buddy.
12
Even though it's laundry day.
13
I'm glad you're here, Jeff.
14
You cannot do a roast without the Roast Master.
15
In fact, if they ever make a Mount Rushmore of roasters, Jeff Ross will get to be a tour guide.
16
And Kate Walsh, I don't watch that stupid show you're on,
17
but I did think it was interesting that you have your own line of perfume, you know, for that special lady who wants to smell like who gives a fuck.
18
I'm glad William Shatner could squeeze this roast into his schedule. In between cosmetic surgeries.
19
Bill, your face is so plastic that when you're done with it, they're going to have to cut it up into little pieces so that birds don't die.
20
What's up, Steve-O?
21
You have done so many drugs
22
and had your testicles crushed so many times that if you ever even try to have kids, they're going to be just like you.
23
And Steve-O, I know you were in a dark place for a while, you were struggling, but now you're trying stand-up comedy.
24
I actually saw you perform once at the Comedy Cellar, and here's some free advice, Steve-O.
25
Don't give up your suicide.
26
Patrice O'Neil is here.
27
You literally cannot miss him.
28
Holy Christ, you're fat.
29
You look like you deep fry your hands before you bite your fingernails.
30
That's a good joke.
31
That's a racist joke.
32
That's a racist shit right there.
33
Mike Tyson?
34
That's the whole joke.
35
Mike Tyson, I love you.
36
You're my favorite boxer of all time.
37
I don't even want to stand up here and make fun of you.
38
Besides, what can you say about Mike Tyson that hasn't already been the title of a Richard Pryor album?
39
Oh, shit.
40
You got it.
41
I do.
42
Patrice got it.
43
Too many white people to get that.
44
Too many white people?
45
You know what no one ever says is too few black people.
46
Yeah.
47
Yeah, Mike Tyson is here.
48
Evander Holyfield wanted to be here too tonight.
49
But he's busy being retarded now.
50
And Mike, Mike, to me, you will always be the champion.
51
You will always be the champion.
52
Thank you very much.
53
The champion of having more shit on your face than seal.
54
Mike Tyson got a tattoo on his face so that every time he looks in the mirror,
55
he can be proud that converting to Islam is only the second dumbest thing he's ever done.
56
I'm fine.
57
That's good.
58
You regret it.
59
I will.
60
I will later.
61
And now for the man of the hour, Mr. Charlie Sheen.
62
Charlie, I don't understand why you're not grateful for what you have right now.
63
I mean, after all, the only reason you got on TV in the first place is because God hates Michael J.
64
Fox.
65
Charlie, you are a monster.
66
Every moment of your life looks like the first two minutes of Law & Order SVU.
67
You've convinced more women to have abortions than the prenatal test for Down syndrome.
68
And Charlie, I think the craziest thing about you
69
is that you thought you were going to go back to your TV show after calling your boss a Jew kike.
70
If people got to keep their jobs after calling their boss a Jew kike, Charlie, then everyone would do it.
71
But Charlie, despite everything I've just said, you're a good sport for being here tonight.
72
Thanks for letting me be here too.
73
Thank you everybody.
74
Thank you.
75
Thank you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
