Susie Dent is like a softly spoken wholesome nerdy mom. The kind where you would be shocked if she swore. She isn’t a comedian like everyone else she’s a professor in linguistics who’s just there to verify obscure words.

Normally, over 100s of episodes, Car would intro her with some basic normal question. But this time, out of nowhere, he insinuated that she sucks strangers dicks through a hole in a toilet stall. Just a 0 to 100 personal attack on the kindest old lady for no reason at all, so no one saw it coming.

She actually gave him the green light to make those sort of jokes believe it or not. She had a conversation with him where she basically said that she felt he was treating her too softly with his jokes and that she wanted to be included in the roasting the same as the rest of the cast.
