I can't believe I used to have this in my top 5.
Despite being considered the greatest roast of all time by a bunch of nostalgic 40-year-olds, this roast sucks. I don't get the love for this roast, it's unfunnier than unfunny. Especially Norm, Jeff Garlin, and Jim Norton. So here's another in-depth, roaster-by-roaster review of this 65-minute disaster. Greg Giraldo had probably his worst performance (by that, I mean least good), Jon Lovitz threw hacky gay jokes everywhere (pot calling the kettle black, if you ask me), Jeff Ross did his usual thing, Susie Essman felt like a cameo, despite having one of the best sets of the roast, Brian Posehn was alright at best, Cloris Leachman just bragged about all the old comics she's "done the dirty with" (thanks, iMDB censors), Norm MacDonald literally read corny jokes off a card set, Jeff Garlin was terrible (he's basically roast poison), Jim Norton was unbearably unfunny and bland, and Gilbert Gottfried, despite having his worst roast set, saved this roast. Roastmaster John Stamos was really only there because he's Bob's friend and Full House costar and for no other reason. Bob Saget's comeback set was one of the greatest ever, though, so I'll give it that, but this roast is overrated and horrible, but somehow it's not the worst. James Franco is. The weird thing is, the dais didn't feature any of Saget's other costars, just a bunch of comics nobody cares about anymore (besides Norm, Gilbert, and Jeff Ross).
