Towards the end of his set, Ross, who was dressed as Franco’s character from Spring Breakers, took on one of the his target’s most famous failures: the 2011 Oscars. “Face it, Franco,” Ross said, “you and Anne Hathaway had the comedic chemistry of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman.”

They're basically excuses for hack comedians to get up and make tasteless offensive jokes for shock laughs.

They became pretty predictable -- Lisa Lampanelli talking about black dicks, Sarah Silverman makes some vulgar "joke" about her vagina, Jeffrey Ross takes his usual shots, and everyone makes fun of Kat's height. I guess the Franco roast had actual celebrities this time instead of the usual D-list variety.
