Some of the biggest names in Hollywood and beyond gathered in Los Angeles for the “Comedy Central Roast of Rob Lowe.” While the jokes were supposed to be aimed at the “Grinder” star, political pundit Ann Coulter bore the brunt of many of the jabs.

The roast was hosted by comedian David Spade who was joined onstage by seasoned veteran Jeff Ross, Rob Riggle, Pete Davidson and more. The overwhelming majority of jokes geared toward Lowe poked fun at his status as an 80s heartthrob, his repeated appearances in sitcoms and his infamous sex tape. Others mocked Ross for being a regular on Comedy Central roasts, “Karate Kid” star Ralph Macchio for failure to extend his career into adulthood and, of course, Coulter for aligning with presidential hopeful Donald Trump. The 11-time author took the jokes in stride and eventually took the stage to fire off a few shots of her own — and plug her book, “In Trump We Trust,” several times.

Below are the best jokes made during “The Comedy Central Roast of Rob Lowe”:

“[Getting roasted] by this cast of mutants — I’m sorry, Ann, racist mutants — it hit me, I didn’t hit rock bottom 26 years ago. I hit rock bottom an hour and a half ago.
