If I tried to buy you
on itunes, it would say,
"are you sure
you want to purchase?
Because you already
own this f***."
Andy Samberg.
The correct pronunciation...
(heavily accented)
Looking forward to your new
show, "brooklyn nine-nine."
Funny cops.
You're always pushing
the envelope, Andy.
What's gonna happen
when you run out
of funny crimes like graffiti
and pickpockets?
Can't wait to see episode 10
when "brooklyn nine-nine"
has to deal with a rape.
(mockingly)
"Oh, I dropped the rape kit?!
Shmorgy-dorg!"
Yeah, that's gonna be fun.
Aziz, you're welcome.
Aziz, I admire
how you've never taken
the stereotypical indian roles.
And I just want to tell you
that if you did,
you would make
so much more money.
If you came out here
right now with crossed eyes
playing a sitar, I would fall
on my ass laughing.
But still, what an actor.
Such phenomenal range.
You're like the daniel day-lewis
of only doing one thing.
Jeff ross! Hi, I'm hollywood.
We haven't met before.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Uh uh uh, sorry I haven't
been able to do anything yet.
Like enterprise rental car
on christmas day,
I do not have
a vehicle for you.
Jeffrey? Do you understand
what I'm saying?
- Yeah, I hear you.
- Jeff doesn't get it.
in his native language.
Excuse me, everybody.
(mimicking jabba the hutt)
Oh-oh-oh-oh!
(speaking huttese)
wookie.
Hey, where's bill hader?
Huh? Where's that guy?
I loved his original
characters on s.n.l.
Stefon, a gay guy!
Oooh, how original!
What's next,
an old jew in a track suit?
But bill's okay in the movies
if you need
a best friend's best friend
to ask an exposition question.
"So, you're gonna
follow her to hawaii?"
"Yes, bill. Now f*** off
for the rest of the movie."
And now I come to you,
James Franco.
You're welcome.
And no one can argue
with your integrity as an actor.
From jerking off
next to a boulder
to sucking a gun like a dick,
you are truly
But I know it hasn't always
been easy for you, James.
You overcame a crippling
childhood affliction
known as dumb face.
But you never let that
interfere with your dream
of making dog-sh*t movies...
and explicitly gay gucci ads.
And the oscars. The oscars.
Look, I don't even watch
the oscars anymore,
"The kid is making
a mockery of your night."
But you did the impossible:
You made me like anne hathaway.
I made sure she won
every single f***ing award
for that "les mis"
theater-camp bullshit
because of what you put
her through, you lazy dick!
Yeah, yeah.
Your upcoming film
that you wrote and directed
is an adaptation of william
faulkner's "as I lay dying."
- (cheering)
- Oh.
They got
Well, I'm very excited
for that, James.
And I must say,
you know, if you...
(snoring)
It's gonna suck, James.
I'm worried about you. I'm really
f***in' worried about you.
You know how when people talk
about john wilkes booth,
they go, "you know,
he used to be an actor."
I feel like
you're going down that road!
You're gonna start a forest fire
that kills 20 people
while making
an experimental vine video.
And from then on
people are gonna say,
"you know, that f***ing
psycho used to act."
I just don't know
what you're doing.
I gave you a chance
to be a movie star,
make money,
hang out with the spider guy.
And you said,
"naw, I wanna be an artist."
Well, I'll tell you what I told
richard grieco 20 years ago...
"play ball, you squinty f***...
or you will disappear!"
And poof! He's gone!
And you're next, Franco!
So what I need from you,
James, are hits,
like when you played the bad guy
in "21 jump street."
Oh wait, that wasn't you.
That was your less-retarded
younger brother dave!
Dave.
That sounds like
a made-up brother name: Dave.
"Hey, James Franco's
got a brother."
"What's his name, dave Franco?"
In closing:
Give me hits,drop the artist sh*t,
and take your money
and f*** off.
I hope you enjoyed your roast.
I can't wait to see your
shitty documentary about it.
Good night.
You're welcome. Come here.
I am very excited to hear
what our next roaster's voice
sounds like for the first time
in my life.
Please welcome natasha leggero.
Thanks, "honey jew-jew."
Look at this dais: Jonah Hill,
Seth Rogen, Jeff ross,
Andy Samberg, Nick Kroll.
I feel like the hot counselor
at hebrew camp.
The room is buzzing tonight,
and not just from the flies
around Aziz's relatives.
Jonah Hill, I loved you as a
baseball analyst in "moneyball,"
and I love you as
rosie o'donnell in real life.
Jonah was born
and raised in hollywood,
and you can tell.
He's a name-dropper
with big tits
and an eating disorder.
That's a f***ing great joke.
Andy Samberg. Hi, how are you?
called the lonely island,
which is how each
of his teeth feel.
- I got 'em fixed.
- Andy, I'm looking forward
to the sad acoustic version
of "dick in a box"
at lorne michael's
open-casket funeral.
What is this?
Nick Kroll! Nick!
Your fan must be
so excited you're here!
No, Nick, I love "Kroll show."
You are amazing at characters.
You're like a chameleon...
in that you have hideous skin
and bulging eyes.
Bill hader, you are this
generation's phil hartman...
hopefully.
- Jesus f***ing christ.
- (Audience moans)
Sarah Silverman's had more ugly
men inside her than comic-con.
Kim kardashian is here.
Oh, that's Aziz. Sorry.
I get 'em confused,
they're both brown narcissists
riding kanye's dick.
No, Aziz is only
in show business
because he's too ugly
to be a genie.
My third wish, Aziz, is that you
stop screaming your punch lines.
I saw your special. If I wanted to
get yelled at by a humorless indian,
I'd read a magazine
at 7-eleven.
No, they love Aziz in india.
He was recently awarded
india's highest honor...
soap.
James Franco...
acting, teaching, directing,
writing, producing, photography,
soundtracks, editing...
No, at first I wasn't sure
why James would do this roast,
and then I saw "spring breakers" and
I was like, "oh, he'll do anything."
James has a new reality show coming
out on the ovation network... wow.
Finally something so awful
that even t.l.c. Was like,
"nah, we're good."
James, you're hard to roast.
I mean, you're so dreamy.
I mean, something about you,
I just wanna please you.
I just wanna take you
back to my hotel room,
take off all your clothes
and let a man f*** you.
No, I'll f*** you, James.
I just wanna put a bag
over your career choices.
You're a fantastic artist.
Thank you, I feel honored
to be here. Thank you.
Thank you.
Coming up is the man
who made s.n.l. Funny again...
by leaving.
Please welcome Andy Samberg!
Hey, everyone.
So, uh... I just
flew in from new york
and boy, are my arms fine! Because Seth
Rogen gave me a ride on his private jet.
