| User ReviewSarah JRecent roasts have gotten stale... almost the same faces would show up roast after roast, telling the same jokes; it was the to the point where we could almost predict everything. What made it all so much better, was that many of the guests are actually friends of Franco and not just comics for hire. It didn't feel mean. It was fun. Fun goes a long way at a roast. Andy and Bill knew they were out of their depth in a roast and seemed uncomfortable savagely making fun of their friends. So both came up with their own clever way out of a traditional roast set. And it was classic. |
| User ReviewBrad WHilarious roast on Franco with so many of today's funny comedians. |
| User ReviewRobert HJames Franco is interesting, in an oddball sort of way, but not necessarily the first person I'd think of to roast. He's certainly done a lot, but the usual honorees have the bulk of their career behind them. Not this guy, which kind of makes it a little more interesting. I thought that the featured roasters were all well-picked, even if not all of them were funny. Basically, the dais was filled with a bunch of his friends, which made it more intimate. I also liked that they didn't go so heavy on the vulgarity, making the subjects a little more diverse than usual. Still...So. Many. Jew. Jokes (Bill Hader's turn as an old Jew in a tracksuit was probably the best instance of this). My personal favorites were Sarah Silverman and Jeff Ross, who have done well in other roasts. Jonah Hill and Andy Samberg were bombs in my opinion. Jonah Hill seemed like he was trying too hard (or couldn't keep his game face on), and Andy Samberg's ironic performance just wasn't funny to me. James Franco's rebuttal wasn't necessarily the best or the worst I've seen, but it was alright. Taken in context of Comedy Central's other roasts, this is certainly one of the more creative ones, even if the end result is rather tame. |
| User ReviewDaniel MThe funniest roast I've seen. Andy Samberg stole the show with his hit or miss type of "fake stupid" jokes. Jeff Ross was funnier than ever. Aziz had some good lines, as did Sarah Silverman. Nick Kroll was... Nick Kroll. Natasha Leggero was WAY funnier than I thought she'd be. Bill Hader was pretty funny. Jonah Hill was meh. And, of course, "James Franco, bitches." |
