Dean Martin Roasts (whatever that is)
This is probably either a pond or a generational difference, or both.
The Dean Martin Roasts were a series of TV specials from the 70s and 80s, hosted by Dean Martin. Each episode would feature Dino and his pals mocking a particular celebrity, often someone from their own circle.
Prior to You Tube, I had only seen one or two, in the mid 80s. The shows sort of epitomize the tastes and outlook of the generation born before and during World War II. Lots of exaggerated bonhomie and backslapping ethnic humour.

Though I have managed to wiki some things I was clueless about (educate) but a few I've thought "how on earth did you get from a) to b)!!" (challenge)
eg SirKevin how do you get clown - bozo - kids? I could get clown to kids or the clown to bozo but how do you get from bozo to kids unless you mean all kids are bozo's! (or is it a pond difference?).
Probably just got too much time on hands today (bit unwell) or am just mumbling on while I try and get from wizard to recession lol!
