What?

He's a decent actor, but good God.

I almost expected Jonah Hill and Franco to switch seats halfway through. Hill was taking way more shots than Franco was.

[Deberg_1990]

Didn't realize Franco had reached a point in his career where he's worthy of Roasting? How do they determine such things?

[Gravedigger]

They throw a million names out there and only one or two say they'll be up for it. I'm surprised they got Franco, when you're talking about the level of celebrity from Roseanne Barr nowadays to Franco... that's a pretty big gap lol.

He's actually way more accomplished than most of the people who get roasted. Pamela Anderson? Flavor Flav? Larry the Cable Guy? Hasselhoff? Trump? All easy targets, but not exactly "worthy roasting" the way Friar's Club roastees would be.

Yeah lol. Pretty funny. Some of those people got off really really easy. I guess there really isn't a WHOLE lot to make fun of with Hader and that one chick. Jonah Hill looked like he was having the time of his ****in life though haha.

Franco is the definition of a douche.

[Gadzooks]

Wait... He's in second place to this douche

That he is. However, I kinda like him a little. At least he acknowledges and embraces his douchiness. Plus he's done some things I like. 127 Hours was pretty good. I liked him in Pineapple Express. I also sorta admire how he wants to do/try everything life has to offer. He did a stint on General Hospital as a project for gods sake. At the height of his popularity at that. That's kind of cool.

Franco is not a douche. Don't care if I'm teh ghey.

He's a talented dude who has no problem making fun of himself. Not sure what's not to like.

A pure lack of talent would be a good start.

I know, I haven't indulged in all of his fine works. Perhaps you could convince me of his vast talents with a few examples. Maybe some that would justify his estimated net worth of $20,000,000.

Have you seen him in Spring Breakers? His presence definitely became more apparent. I think it is his undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of his previous works.
