The special also opened with a music video/medley celebrating Pam's career titled ''"What we like about Pam"''.
Not long after the special's initial airing, an extended version played on Comedy Central's The Secret Stash, a programming block at 1:00 am that showed movies and specials uncut and uncensored.
Though no one knew it at the time, The Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson marked something of a turning point in terms of Roasts. Many of the roasts that followed have been criticized for being too mean-spirited, with roasters leaning harder into just how mean they could make their jokes and trying to [[DudeNotFunny push the envelope regardless of tact or good taste]] over being funny. Causing many to see the Roast of Pamela Anderson as one of the last Comedy Central Roasts to actually ''celebrate'' the roastee and be in good fun overall.
----
!!The Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson contains examples of:
* BetweenMyLegs: In the opening introducing the roasters and guest stars, the camera zooms through a tunnel of bare female legs, presumably meant to be Pam's.
* BlatantLies: Courtney Love insist throughout the Roast that she is sober, when it's clear to everyone in attendance that she's anything but.
* ClusterFBomb: During Sarah Silverman's time at the dias, she unleashes a metric ton of obscenities while describing certain parts of Pam's anatomy. The original televised version combines this with ClusterBleepBomb as nearly every word out of her mouth had to be bleeped out.
* DumbBlonde: Several jokes of this kind are made at Pam's expense. For example, Jimmy Kimmel joked that Pam having two published books meant that she had "written more books than [she] read."
-->Jimmy Kimmel: "Don't let the dumb blonde thing fool you, this woman is as smart as a rock."
* FanDisservice: Lady Bunny (a drag queen) joked that they were the night's "boner break" to offset all the eye candy that had been on display. [[TakeThat Apparently, Courtney Love is the second one.]]

* HasAType: Pam's penchant for dating musicians was one of the roasters frequent targets.

* ICallHimMrHappy: Once it's Pam's turn on the dais, she finishes her section and the show by thanking her best and more helpful friends she had on her career: [[GagBoobs Poncho and Lefty.]]
* IntoxicationEnsues: Several of the roasters got noticeably drunk and druker over the course of the show. This goes double for Courtney Love, who started off trashed and got worse from there.
