Ralph Macchio didn't exactly light the world on fire with his roast. He took his lumps like a champ but something felt weirdly uncomfortable with his roasting of Rob. It wasn't quite funny yet it was still calculated and maybe could have been in a different context.

I thought that made it funnier. You could tell the insults were affecting her.

Anyway, never heard Jimmy Carr before, but he killed. Peyton and Jewel had similar monotone deadpan deliveries which worked really well with the material imo. Macchio and the SNL unfunny kid were the worst to me, but I did like how Macchio had a connection - actually most of them did, works much better when the roasters know the person getting roasted and there's that personal level.

Which is why I love the Franco one so much.
