And, of course, "James Franco, bitches.James Edward Franco (born April 19, 1978) is an American actor, filmmaker, and writer. Natasha Leggero was WAY funnier than I thought she'd be. Aziz had some good lines, as did Sarah Silverman. Andy Samberg stole the show with his hit or miss type of "fake stupid" jokes. User Review - 8/10 by Daniel M The funniest roast I've seen. 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. James Franco's rebuttal wasn't necessarily the best or the worst I've seen, but it was alright. 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. Jonah Hill and Andy Samberg were bombs in my opinion. My personal favorites were Sarah Silverman and Jeff Ross, who have done well in other roasts. Jokes (Bill Hader's turn as an old Jew in a tracksuit was probably the best instance of this). I also liked that they didn't go so heavy on the vulgarity, making the subjects a little more diverse than usual. Basically, the dais was filled with a bunch of his friends, which made it more intimate. I thought that the featured roasters were all well-picked, even if not all of them were funny. Not this guy, which kind of makes it a little more interesting. He's certainly done a lot, but the usual honorees have the bulk of their career behind them. User Review - 8/10 by Robert H James Franco is interesting, in an oddball sort of way, but not necessarily the first person I'd think of to roast. User Review - 10/10 by Brad W Hilarious roast on Franco with so many of today's funny comedians. So both came up with their own clever way out of a traditional roast set. Andy and Bill knew they were out of their depth in a roast and seemed uncomfortable savagely making fun of their friends. What made it all so much better, was that many of the guests are actually friends of Franco and not just comics for hire. 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.
