Comedy Central has given us another roast special, and this time it was James Franco's turn to feel the heat.
Franco, the most attractive roastee I might add, is an actor, director and sometimes professor at New York University. He's smart, charming and an easy target for other funny men to pick on, such as Seth Rogen, Andy Samburg and Aziz Ansari.
And hilarity ensued watching for many watching the roast. Beside the Jonah Hill weight jokes, which were a bit overdone, the comedians spotlighted Franco's sexuality, his big Oscar hosting gig fail, and of course, is never-ending pursuit of more higher education.
"I've never watched one of these roasts. I chose not to research this so I had no idea that they were going to be roasting each other [too]. I thought I'd be sitting here for two hours bearing the brunt of it so it was a huge relief," Franco told Entertainment Weekly about the roast. "I had a great time. Everybody was awesome, solid."
Check out the Top 5 Jokes of the James Franco Roast:
James Franco: "I think this is truly my punishment for the Oscars."
Seth Rogen: "James has acted alongside some amazing actors - Robert DeNiro, Tommy Lee Jones. He once played opposite an unruly chimp with giant teeth but it was worth it because Eat, Pray, Love turned out awesome. What? Is she here? She's not here. Like she f-king watches this bulls-t."
Sarah Silverman: "I don't think James is gay or straight. It's just that he literally can't open his eyes enough to see who he's f--king."
Jonah Hill: "Bill Hader was brilliant on SNL and when he left the show every single person was like, 'What are you doing? You're never ever going to work again.' And what does my man Bill do? Boom, he books a T-Mobile commercial. Who's laughing now, Lorne Michaels? My man Bill is. If that thing goes national, we could be talking like 10, 15 grand. This guy's cashing checks from the fourth largest mobile provider in the nation. I respect Bill because Sprint was coming after him hard, but he held out for that f-k you T Mobile money."
Aziz Ansari: "I saw Jeff Ross at a comedy club the other night. A woman comes up to him and goes, 'Hey, if you're who I think you are, I'm definitely sleeping with you tonight.' And he goes, 'Hell yeah I'm Jeff Ross.' And she goes, 'Oops sorry. I thought you were the main orc from the Lord of The Rings."
