"What's great about Steve is he never lets a script get in the way of the performance he's decided on in advance" is such a devastatingly amazing burn. Marty rocks!

You can tell Martin Short and Steve Martin are great friends. And Martin Short is a genius comic

I heard when Marty's wife passed away Steve was always there for Marty. Great friends, hilarious together always

The rest of the audience were super lame, but Steve Martin was laughing and enjoying every second and that's what matters most.

the love for his friend is so obvious. terrific tribute.

Martin understood all of the jokes...he was the only one who mattered

He is so funny. I feel like some of the jokes went right over the audiences' heads.

"The Governor's Awards are considered the highest honor an actor can receive in mid-November." Best line of the night, such a subtle yet devastating put-down.

Martin's smile is the best smile ever. It's just so damn infectious.

Martin Short managed to make me laugh and cry in the same speech. His comments at the end were as sweet as it gets

"when i think of Steve, and it's not often" lmao. he is soooo funny

Clearly the audience takes itself too seriously... Martin Short is a legend.

This is a textbook example of how to do a roast! Brilliant.

The academy is dead until Martin host the Oscars! If he did, it would be epic!

Obviously the audience didn't have much of a sense of humour. Either that or I have a very biased love of Marty Short; I think he's amazing!

Martin Short teaching a Master Class on Comedy Timing, this man is incredible !!! And then in the last minute of his disertation he acknowledges how Steve was there for Martin and his children when he lost his wife Nancy to cancer in 2010.

Ever since I saw The Three Amigos, I have loved Martin Short- he is as quick and smart as a whip. Possibly the best blend of Hollywood insider, positivity, sarcasm, and dry wit. A real professional- his preparation and presentation is faultless. He makes it look easy but smoothness and lines like that are genius.

"The word genius has been thrown around a lot tonight, so i might as well call Steve one." lmfaoo

My two comedic heroes. I adore both of these amazing men. Martin Short made me laugh hard and made me cry all within 8 minutes.

Steve Martin was loving every minute of this. What a great sport.

It took me a second to get it but that philosophy joke was hilarious

Martin Short you are a national treasure! we thank you and we love you. wish you all the best and continued success... he needs to be in more movies!

Martin Short is sublime. It seems he is underappreciated in his own country. Well, this Aussie appreciates him plenty!

One of the wittiest performances I've ever seen.

I could listen to Martin Short for hours. He’s brilliant.

I have to be getting older and wiser. The dad jokes, and the one liners make me laugh so much more now. Kuddos Mr Martin Short

Every now an then we get a comedy duo that creates a bond that last through time.

That philosophy joke was top notch

so many good one-liners jokes!!

Martin Short -class act , always .

“I’m not just speaking from the heart. I’m also speaking from the teleprompter.”

God, I love Martin Short.

beautifull speech.... martin short is fantastic...

I grow to appreciate Martin's style of humor more and more as years go by. Just looking at his face makes me crack up

These two are best friends.

I vote for Martin Short to host the oscars of 2016 !

he's so adorable.

I love LOVE Steve Martin and Martin Short. ♥ I love it when friendship goes beyond and you can see that.

Only a true and close friend could have been in the position for such a tease, and only Martin Short could have pulled it off with such humor and class

I mean, was I the only one laughing throughout that whole vid? Martin Short is hilarious, and you could tell Steve Martin loved every second.

It’s so weird to hear Martin say something genuinely nice about Steve 🤣👏🏾

I can tell that Steve Martin and martin short were great friends and will always be that way❤😊

Martin Short has to be the greatest roaster of all time

Every Martin Short appearance is like a roast in itself...

Absolutely wonderful! One of the funniest speeches I've ever heard.

Martin Short is so funny. A proud McMaster University grad, just like me.

Martin was ON FIRE this night. Totally brilliant.

Martin short is a genius too.

That last joke should've gotten more applause. Great burn at the end.

Simply love Martin Short and Steve Martin. Two Wild and Crazy Guys!

Martin Short is comedic gold. I'm cracking up so much I'm in tears! ❤

And that is How You Roast! I love them both!

Adore their friendship ❤️

Love Martin Short!

I discovered him as Preminger and now many years later, I still love him.

Martin Short is HILARIOUS!!! Love him & Steve Martin !! Great friends, great comedians ❤️❤️

When he said Steve is like a page in a coloring book that hasn't been colored in, I did a spit take and I wasn't even drinking anything.

The epitome of your best friend screwing with you. Love it!

MARTIN SHORT & STEVE MARTIN are 2 of the most naturally and talented COMEDIANS !!!

I want a friendship like Martin Short and Steve Martin.

The genius here....that only comes from a duo like this.

This may be one of the greatest tributes I’ve ever heard.

Marty deserved a better crowd. He was spitting gold nonstop and he's barely getting any laughs.

Jesus Harold Christ. This is one of the funniest roasts I’ve ever seen.

Martin S is one of the most underrated comedians and actors I can think of

Not just speaking from the heart but also speaking from the teleprompter when I say.... ... ... hilarious!

I love these two guys. Bravo sirs, bravo!

‘Two things are timeless…Steve Martin and community college’

love Martin Short.

The ultimate roast! You know that Rickles was rolling on the floor with laughter. But only figuratively. He would have killed the cat and the dog.

Still funny as ever.

Three Amigos :) Steve, Martin and Chevy

My goodness! This was 8 minutes of non-stop zingers!! Martin Short is a brilliant comedic mind!!

There is no question about the/ jokes...Steve Martin/Martin Short...BRILLIANT comedians/friends...

Two best friends forever! Both of them are legends!

Martin Short should host the Oscars!

Love this timeless duo! U can see the love and care they have for each other in their eyes. Such a timeless bond. ❤

Such talent and a wonderful friendship

these two have such a great relationship of admiration and respect. you can just see how Steve admires Martin here, and their work together in anything they collaborate in is simply stellar.

Martin Short is one of the greatest comedians of all time..

It can t be done more brilliantly. Bravo

A work of genius! Thank you. One after another.

I vote for "The three amigos" pt. 2. Anyone with me?

I love the way they make me feel... Laughter and great moments is what you have for sure with the incredible Steve Martin and Martin Short! Me encanta cómo me hacen sentir... Carcajadas y grandes momentos es lo que uno tiene garantizado, con los increíbles Steve Martin y Martin Short!

My absolute favorite comedian.

Imagine how next level it would have been if he'd done this as Jiminy Glick!!!

I know who I would want to take with me on a road trip...

You just know even before listening that this is gonna be pure gold. 😂😍😂

Short is absolutely hysterical; I was roaring at most of his remarks. What particularly resonated was his comment that the Governor's Award is one of the most prestigious that an actor can receive from the Academy in mid-November. It is a total embarrassment that career achievement awards which were traditionally presented during the Oscar ceremony in Feb/March are now relegated to this truncated ceremony months earlier, which diminishes their importance. Why not hand out the Oscars for Best Director, Screenwriter, Cinematographer, Set Designer, Composer, etc. in the theater parking lot before the show and have Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber perform their greatest hits? Not an appropriate recognition of the honorees' artistic contributions to films? The Academy could care less.

Both hilarious and have been for longer than most comics have been alive.

Marty you’re the best ❤️

Brilliant 👏 thank you Martin, and Steve, for going your own way.

Only a true friend can cut to the bone like that!

I love Martin Short so much.

Thank you Steve Martin.

This is hilarious!- simply hilarious. So underplayed! Martin Short is great!

Man, what a dead audience, either they don't understand the send up or they are too into themselves to care. At least a few got it.

That was so nice man!

Best speech ever!!!
