Not since Ted Danson showed up in blackface for a roast of his then-girlfriend Whoopi Goldberg has a celebrity's performance at the Friars Club been as poorly received as Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's skewering of Donald Trump Tuesday night.

Despite Trump being about the biggest, softest target out there, the "Jersey Shore" star's jokes only mustered polite chuckles, awkward silences or out-and-out disdain.
