The Roast of Tom Brady

My dad and I watched and he was saying comedy is back. Little did he know comedy I has been back and is in its hayday now! From start to finish the comedians and football players sets were top notch. Joke written by the players and actors and jokes written for them hit every step of the way. Nikki Glaser and Tony Bunch life were the best but Gronk and Edlemen were funny as hell. It was nice to see Bill Belichick in there being a good sport and Robert Kraft speaking so highly of the man the myth the legend THE GOAT Tom Brady. He was such a good sport listening all night while getting absolutely roasted!

Roasts, as they've been done for the last 15 years or so, are pale imitations of the roasts of days past.

Today they're simply how nasty can you be using the most vile language delivered by someone that probably has no idea who they're roasting.

Roasters having no relationship, friend or otherwise, with Tom compete to see who's the funniest with jokes that have no personalization other than to be raunchy, nasty attacks.

Monologues with no substance other than sophomoric humor befitting middle school playground.

I recall the roast of William Shatner with the same disdain for the pitiful (and despicable) line up of talking heads with nothing to offer than filth.

What happened to well thought out insults that are funny, snarky, personal... all while still being delivered as a friendly poke in the eye by friends and colleagues? Sad testament to what the current generation considers funny.

The world needs more roasts and more of this kind of comedy.

Seeing some people trying to bash this because of one or two specific moments they "didn't like" shows how sensitive people can be. It's a 3 hour live program where you have big names on the stage with jokes hitting left and right. No comedy will have a 100% hit rate for 100% of people, but that's just comedy. If you expect all comedy to be funny all of the time then you don't understand comedy.

The whole roast harkens back to the CC roasts of old times which feels so refreshing to see in the world of PC and disproportionate negative reactions to any and all kinds of jokes.

Props to Netflix for setting this up and having a real gem of a roast. Hoping this opens the door up for more of these kind of roasts in the future.

I grew up watching these roasts on Comedy Central cable TV, and despite knowing next to nothing about the characters on stage, I loved nearly every roast through the kills and spills as its own unique form of comedy. Now, it's been 5 years, and after years of watching Netflix and YouTube internet comedy grow into its own, I can certifiably say The Roast series is back on top of the comedy world with this one.

They packed so much gold into one (Netflix!) (live?!) presentation that I don't even know where to start. Not even a football fan, but I am a huge comedy nut, and who hasn't heard some great Brady jabs over the years. I used to be a big Kevin Hart hater, but honestly he got it figured out with this one. Segura & Bert I just can't handle for a second, and Glaser oh my god I wanted not to laugh so bad that I was actually crying by the end of her segment.

If you even know just 2 or 3 people on that stage, I can guarantee you will walk away from this recording with your sides in outer orbit. Downright hilarious :)

This was an absolutely superb live, sold out show on Netflix, first aired on May 5, 2024. I just finished watching it for the first time, and it won't be the last. I highly recommend this roast for all football fans, comedy fans and/or roast fans. I don't even like football and I LOVED it!

Excellent production here, it looked spectacular, cool graphics, with a great variety of guests (comedians, football players, actors, etc.) Many of the jokes were killers and the show was uncensored, with plenty of time, nothing rushed.

Kevin Hart did a decent job hosting. Nikki Glaser and Tony Hinchcliffe absolutely killed!!! They should get Tony to host the next Netflix Roast.
