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!

So like every Roast, there were some good and bad moments. I enjoy Kevin Hart, and loved his laughing at the really good zingers that were thrown at him.

Nikki Glaser, Sam Jay, Drew Bledsow, and Julian Edelman ROCKED the Roast! Tony Hinchcliffe had some moments, as did Bill Belichick!

Rest was really hit and miss with some moments that were so cringeworthy you could see Tom Brady's uncomfortableness, especially during Gronks piece. Even Kevin commented he was on something besides liquor.

Not the BEST roast I've ever seen, but not the worst either..

Definitely raunchy but I love it. Tom was kinda weak but it's acceptable.

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 :)

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.

Huge mistake to not edit this bloated piece of vain garbage into an hour. Venue was way too big, absolutely zero charm. Felt like it was being broadcast from the moon. Oh, let's do it in an arena, bigger is better. Just total lameness. Having a 5'3" attention pig was a mistake. Has a single person ever laughed at kevin hart? The walmart of stand up. Most jokes just so dumb and pointless, high school level roast, fitting for a QB. The constant repetition was painful, same dumb joke over and over. Must have been torture to attend. I can't imagine how boring it must've been live, and how bad the audio was. Killed all charm with bigness. A valid empty nothing. No wonder he regretted it, production flawed, likely due to greed.
