Last year, Matt put together a list of the 50 funniest jokes from Charlie Sheen's Comedy Central Roast. This year, I'm doing the same thing for Roseanne's, which aired last night, and kind of like Warming Glow since I started writing for it, it's not as good as it was in 2011.

That kind of moderately amusing but not really burn was prevalent in the special, which is to be expected when your joke-tellers include Carrie Fisher (who kept making the same "I don't remember anything because drugs" comments) and Seth Green, whose roasting abilities are about as impressive as his height. Dammit, now they've got me doing it. Anyway, there were still some funny cracks about Roseanne -- many of which were about her weight and came from special guest Tom Arnold -- and here are some of the best.
