mad_man_moon Let's start by acknowledging the unfortunately large grey mammal in the room ... these things are usually horribly bad. Lots of unfunny people given a green light to tell "offensive" jokes that are made OK because someone from the demeaned group is there laughing and OK'ing it.Thing is, jokes can be funny, and when it's owned, and has ... no ... I think I'm going to lose this thread of conversation. I'm so annoyingly not rabidly against anything open and funny against any given target, and also so annoyingly not hating "SJWs" for actually being totally right and fighting for the progression of society. It's a shame that life is 1's and 0's these days, but that's 01101100011010010110011001100101.This show is actually phenomenal. I don't really want to ruin the comic beats, but I'll say that it's a massive crescendo that actually peaks slightly early ... however the last //indefinite number// were still fantastic.I can't recommend this hard enough.What I'm trying to say is that ... even though I tried not to single the comedians out and completely ruin the whole thing for you, I kinda did a little, and I'm a bit sorry. But that's still ... it's a bit of a ... well ... it's a certain kind of move. Without the ones that aren't as funny, the ones that are funnier wouldn't be as funny as they were.I'll shut up. This is blinking great.

SnoopyStyle James Franco is getting roasted on Comedy Central. Seth Rogen is the roast master. The roasters are his friends. Well at least, they're his Hollywood friends. Bill Hader does a funny character who runs Hollywood. Aziz Ansari is probably the smartest. Half of his time isn't prepared and in response to the other roasters. Most of the roasters are taking as much aim at each other as they do at Franco. Aziz gets a lot of Indian jokes which he throws back at them. Jonah Hill gets a few weight jokes. Sarah Silverman makes a funny joke about Mexicans in Natasha Leggero. She makes it clear what's inside of Leggero. Nick Kroll is ridiculed for being a nobody. Jeff Ross is in cornrows and being a dick as usual. James Franco is probably the weakest but that's kind of expected after the Oscars. He does have some well written jokes. The thing that comes through is that everybody on the show and in the audience seem to really like the guy. He's not being roasted by strangers or hired guns. These people love to make fun of him.

sdrywer hosted by that rogen whit his "hohohoh im stoned hohoho" material. That dude what got kicked out from deadbeat show snl, and bunch of other jews I have never heard of. That one horse mouth was on that *beep* American pie comedies I guess. Didn't even crack a smile during the whole thing. Are these lame jews supposed to funny? Are they the next generation (Im around their age) of comedy? Feel like dying knowing I wont miss anything. This wasn't even a roast. More like a circle jerk. God I miss the old school guys who were smart enough to overdose and die while being genially funny. Unlike this bunch of these pretentious a holes. Even Jeff Ross looks bummed out whit these kids and nobody bothered to write him good lines this time. Just sad overall.

gavin6942 It is James Franco's turn to step in to the celebrity hot seat for the latest installment of The Comedy Central Roast...I just have one question: why James Franco? Has Comedy Central run out of cultural icons like Hasselhoff and Shatner that they now have to turn to still-relevant figures like Franco? So wrong...Of the comedians, Jonah Hill was the best, which was unexpected, though Bill Hader was decent, too. The rest were okay... Andy Samberg delivered roughly the same sort of style as Kevin Nealon has... it is a strange humor, but more tasteful than the profanity from everyone else. And Sarah Silverman is somehow hanging on to her brief stardom...
