His abs may cause swooning, but his stand-up induces groaning.
At the taping of Comedy Central's Roast of Donald Trump Wednesday night, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino was nearly booed off the stage.

Wearing Aviator sunglasses, Sorrentino's jokes were hard to follow, but he did manage to insult the other presenters, calling Marlee Matlin "ugly," Larry King "old," and Lisa Lampanelli "fat."
Then the Jersey Shore star told fellow roster Snoop Dogg that he and the Donald had a lot in common because the millionaire developer owned a lot of property and Snoop's ancestors had been property.

The crowd jeered, and Roast-master Jeffrey Ross had to get into the act.
Still The Situation told UsMagazine.com afterward that he was glad he did the event. "My whole career people have been hard on me," he said. "But I stood in there. I got through it, and people actually clapped at the end."

And he noted that despite his off-color comments there's no bad blood between him and Snoop. "Snoop is an awesome dude," he said. "Very kind. Me and him got along so well. Between Trump and Snoop, I gained a lot of friendships."
Perhaps to the dismay of the audience, the reality star added he isn't ruling out more comedy in the future.

And he had at least one fan from the night. "I was honored that he came," Trump told Us. "I thought he was great!"

"You look like the girls I have sex with before I had all my money"...WTF is that?!!?!?!?! That's a burn on himself, because he can't get anything fine on his own...he needs his money...dumb WOP!!!!!
I watched Jersey Shore on a normal basis. I must say that he is alot funnier on the actual show than he was on this roast. I think he is just funny naturally, but by doing this show he just seemed awkward. He probably could have benefited from some note cards at least. But I give him credit for being able to stand there and not act like it bothered him. Stick to Jersey Shore bro.
This guy was a total jackass. I never gave Jersey Shore a fair chance but after seeing this guy think he was actually funny I never will. It must be 10x worse. He was just lucky Jeff Ross decided to save him.
Now hold on guys, I in particular don't take to much favor, but damn, everyone has their own flaws. To me he just seems like an unwanted roommate. Quit making such a fuss over him.
The Situation is the perfect example of how being a reality TV star doesnt mean you have any form of talent, it just means that the producers thought you'd be a big enough idiot that they'd be able to make the whole country laugh at you for years before you even realized that the whole world thinks your a damn failure.
he must be a somebody if he is the one in the magazines and we are the ones making the comments..
mike the loser from jersey shore is a nobody....and ps he never gets laid...people are struggling and these idiots are getting paid to act dumb.....welcome to america
Biased of what? Someone "famous" for no reason?
cannot stand serial married men like trump, trade one wife for another and then another..
Oh Lord, who the hell invited this nobody? He is what I consider a joke! I honestly don't get the fascination with him, I think he's utter trash!
of course you 3 agree not biased or anything
This Popeye looking idiot who wears shades inside all the time.
I agree with Trinity. THANK GOD people are finally realizing what a tool this guy is. He's not even good looking!
I hope this means that Americans are finally coming to their senses, and realizing that is kind of trash is unacceptable!
