‘F**k Chick-fil-A’: Glee Star Jane Lynch Blasts Fast Food Chain During Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne Barr

Actress Jane Lynch held the title of “Roast Master” during the Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne Barr on Saturday, and she used her platform to slam Chick-fil-A for its recent decision to back traditional marriage, the Huffington Post reports.
Prior to introducing Barr, Lynch dished out a few obligatory jabs at some of the scheduled roasters, including Carrie Fisher, Katey Sagal and Ellen Barkin.
Poking fun at the woman-heavy lineup, Lynch quipped:Â ”This show is serving up more old spoiled hens than a Chick-fil-A. Oh, that reminds me… F*ck Chick-fil-A.”
HuffPo referred to the Atlanta-based restaurant chain as “anti-gay” and explains that the crowd erupted in “riotous laugher and applause” following the joke. We have to take their word for it because the event will not air until August 12 at 10 p.m. ET.
Lynch, serving as Roast Master for the evening in her first-ever roast appearance, married her partner Dr. Lara Embry in 2010, and she detailed her story of coming out in the 2011 memoir Happy Accidents.
The comedic actress was, of course, not the only roaster to take aim at a current controversy; Jeffrey Ross, who is referred to as the Roastmaster General and has his own roast-themed show The Burn debuting on Comedy Central on August 14, arrived on the red carpet dressed as Joe Paterno. The comedian explained that if the outfit offended anyone “They can do what Joe Paterno did – look the other way.â€
In addition to the edgy Paterno stunt, Ross also joked about the Aurora, Colo. shooting, which left 12 people dead and dozens more injured after shooter James Holmes opened fire at a screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” last month.
EntertainmentWeekly.com reports that Ross addressed Seth Green, who is naturally red-headed, and said: “Congratulations, this is actually a really big night for you. You haven’t gotten this much attention since you shot all those people in Aurora.”
But even after the initial joke received “a resounding ohhhhh“ from the audience, Ross doubled down. ”I’m kidding!” he said. “You’re not like James Holmes. At least he’s doing something in a movie theater that people remember.”

Posted on August 6, 2012 at 5:01amTry to remember that there are many “Gays” and “Lesbians” in existence that aren’t “Radical” like Jane Lynch and her “Cronies”. Many (G’s & L’s) lead very “Private” lives and are actually very nice people and would like these “Radical” nut jobs to just go away but they won’t because they are “Angry” at life itself. I know many Log Cabin Republicans and “Non” Log Cabin Republicans who are totally “Fed Up” with all the “Negative” attention that people like “Jane Lynch” and many other “Miserable” lesbians bring to “Society”. A very “High” percentage of “Gays” and “Lesbians” mostly lesbians are on “Disability” and “Section 8″ and are in no hurry to get back into the work force. If you ask many of them why are they on “Disability” and when they are getting off it there response is usually the following, “Probably Never” and why should I (They) work when I don’t have to. The Government will take care of me. When I hear “Speeches” like that I get rather burned up and say to myself, “You Mean My Tax Dollars Have To Take Care Of Someone Lazy Like You For The Rest Of My Life”. Gays and Lesbians, most anyway, will always be “Democrats” because they have one plan of attack and one plan of attack only and that is to “Always” need “Government” help for something. Lesbian women are a total mess all around “Emotionally” and don’t wanna do anything to make there lives better. As I said earlier in this paragraph, most of them Gay And Le

Posted on August 6, 2012 at 1:43pmVerce, behaving yourself didnt work for MLK and his marchers?
They willingly allowed themselves to be blasted with hoses and attacked by police dogs, and few if any fought back. The American public saw this martyrdom happening on TV, and it led to an uprising of sorts.
(Around the 1980s is when they went overboard with political correctness)
So verce, the only way to advance civil rights is through violence? I guess if the ends justify the means, then it’s okay?

Posted on August 5, 2012 at 10:15pmThe funny thing is, none of these Hollywood types would even go to a Chick-fil-A even if the company supported gay marriage because A) they hate fast food in general because it’s “unhealthy” and “processed” and B) most of them are vegans and/or members of PETA. Such hypocrites.

Posted on August 6, 2012 at 1:19pmOver the years I known a few gays and for the most part, they are wonderful people who just want to love whom they wish. It’s these militant types who are causing all the trouble. Their parades are disgusting and lewd. They are the types who need stricter laws over to stop their un-Godly exhibitions.
The general gay population are ok with me as long as I don’t have to witness any of their disgusting activities in public.
Have never seen this jane lynch, but she sounds pitiful. We all know the likes of the shameful rosanne barr is merely to get attention, she’s a big fat slob and acts the part.

Posted on August 6, 2012 at 2:00amTo anyone who reads my comment please know that I do not agree with calling people pigs. That is reserved for the ill educated who cannot make a reasoned argument. @Cat B Good advertising for ChikFilA. Lines form all the time in this community, especially after school for the kiddies. They are very supportive of the school system here as well. Don’t you love the fact they are patriots and fly the red white and blue? Know we disagree on some things but that’s life in this wonderful country and we are entitled to that. I support my fellow Americans who are gay as well because they have that right also. Just I do not support gay marriage but either way my vote goes to Romney who I believe will relieve the pressure we have all been under and businesses should fear nothing as well.

Posted on August 6, 2012 at 2:59pm@DEEPFRIED TEXAN……….she would be an insult to anyone, anywhere. Had no idea who she was, and didn’t watch the (whatever award show she hosted) as I have better taste. Kept hearing about the Glee show, but never watched it after hearing some comments. If I watch anything it’s something with a bit of class or charm, not the likes of what I hear about her and that half/baked rosanne. She insulted herself and all of us singing the National Anthem and spitting and grabbing her crotch. Who the hell are these uncouth women?

Posted on August 5, 2012 at 11:42pmYes, that’s the right approach. Every time a liberal insults Chick Fil A, go down and eat some more junk food. But don’t spend ALL your money on chicken sandwiches. Save some for that walker you’re gonna be needing in a few more weeks.

Posted on August 6, 2012 at 12:47amChick-fil-A has a very good menu .. salads (large selection of fat free or low fat dressings) and grilled chicken … carrot salad .. fruit salad (that a good assortment of fruits .. no sugar) cole slaw, they have unsweetened or sweetened iced tea and fresh made daily lemonade that isn’t real sweet (it is yummy!) .. I was very impressed .. the kids can have fruit or applesauce (comes in a neat squeeze to eat pack) grilled nuggets and milk or juice. You don’t have to eat junk when you are eating “fast”.

If Jane would have left the F-Chick Fil-a from her gig, then it would have been funny on both sides. Comedians think that they are expempt from tasteless inappropriate jokes, they say that all the time. Also, this is roast for the biggest goose in the hen house, what do you expect.
