I know that the jokes on these roasts are super harsh, and I usually enjoy when the envelope is pushed in that way. But the stuff about Lisa just got boring, and her over-the-top reaction shots—like, “Hey, look at me and how good of a sport I am laughing at all this! My feelings are not hurt!”—just made me uncomfortable. Actually, her laughter seemed so forced and like such a display that I thought that maybe she wrote the fat jokes. But no. The writers for the show were a group of men and one chick.
And maybe Lisa is a “good sport,” and maybe she doesn’t get her feelings hurt that easily. Or maybe she just behaves that way so that she can get away with making a Roger Ebert cancer joke.
