Comedy Central Roast of James Franco - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Seth Rogan doing OK as roastmaster, but constantly looking at his notes.

Nick Kroll just killed. Looks like there are going to be LOTS of Jew jokes.

Franco looks high as ****.

Who cares? It was hilarious.

Might have been the best one yet.

Watching re-run now, I'm glad they don't have the usual crew on here as they were getting stale, save for Jeselnik.

Was skeptical when Hader came out as a character, but wow did he have me rolling.

very solid roast. jeff ross was the king as usual. the chick's set was pretty great (no doubt all jokes written by ross and the writers), and in the hands of someone else could have been outrageously good.

samberg's set would have been a lot funnier if:

1. it were a lot shorter
2. norm hadn't done a much better version of it

So they didn't invite a single non-jew to rip on those boring Apatow dick-sucking douchebags? Lame.

I really liked this one. Natasha Leggero was the best.

I linked everyone's but I thought hers was the least good. Thought a bunch of her jokes were pretty hacky (Indian one's are coming to mind).

Strange. I like her in general but thought her set was one of the weakest.

Jonah Hill surprised me, he was pretty damn good. Silverman and Hader were terrific. Jeffrey Ross killed at as usual. All in all a pretty solid roast.

Yeah, that was quite excellent. Very surprised.

I think my favorite joke was Silverman's Jonah Hill usually being known as Cher and Sonny's daughter. Wasn't sure why that got so much of a laugh until I googled it, and then I cracked up for a few minutes.

Speaking of Roasts, when the hell is the Friar's Club Roast of Quentin Tarantino going to be available? Or will it? Been dying to see that since I heard about it.

I thought best joke was Natasha Leggero's: I'm looking forward to the sad acoustic version of "Dick in a Box" at Lorne Michael's open-casket funeral.

I know they haven't aired it, but I hoped they'd release it on DVD or something.

Absolutely fantastic roast I loved every roaster and was actually interested in the roastee. Franco is a perfect target as everyone really loves him but he has made some questionable career choices.

it was refreshing not to have the usual bitter comedians but a much funnier and upbeat tone. jonah hill was great and andy sambergs shtick didnt seem that funny to me but he pulled it off well.

kept it on my dvr to rewatch at some point

a+

I'd like to thank my niece for hosting was probably the best line of the night
