Mike Tyson Roasts Charlie Sheen in Comedy Central Special (Video)

Here's a bit of Mike Tyson's segment from Comedy Central's Roast of Charlie Sheen.

Language is absolutely NOT SAFE FOR WORK, or probably for your children.


A bit more after the jump in another video.

I think Tyson is...well, pretty good. Mostly here he gets at Jeffrey Ross and not Sheen, but while he's certainly not a natural comedian, he does better than Warren Sapp did at the roast of...whoever that was. Larry the Cable Guy? These things all run together for me.

It's nice to see Tyson getting along in the world these days and not, at 45, worried about where money's coming from or considering some terrible offer to fight again. Hell, he's younger than Bernard Hopkins, but he's long gone and has brought himself back into the spotlight via movies and TV and being able to poke fun of himself, a quality that isn't exactly common among fighters, particularly those who had the rags-to-riches-to-rags story of Tyson. He seems happy enough. Good for him.

Wow.

Mike Tyson is pretty good. That “bite my own ears off” line was a winner.

Tyson gets better and better at poking fun at himself.

hahh that was awesome. I grew up watching Iron Mike as most of us here probably did and my heart was crushed when Buster Douglas put the hurt on him and then he had his long downward spiral. I felt truly sad for him after watching some Tyson documentary a few years back and I’m happy that he’s mellowed out and seemingly content with his life about as well as he could be.

The joke about Seth McFarlane ripping off Homer was gold

I wonder if her came up with it himself or some writer fed it to him.

Rough delivery but good material. These Comedy Central roasts are still awful for the most part though.

If you want beef then bring the ruckus.

Yeah pretty much. The only consistently funny guy is dead and Norm MacDonald can’t show up and save them all.

It’s Comedy Central roasts or hosting Golden Boy weigh-ins.
