The Roast of Tom Brady

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 :)

One of the worst roasts I've ever seen, and I've seen several dozen over the past couple decades. Easily twice as long as it should've been, but the most troubling thing about The Roast Of Tom Brady was poor Kevin Hart and his gross profane language. Why was every 3rd word that came out if his mouth the G-d D-m blasphemy? Yes, I know this is a roast, so the occasional 4-letter word will be used. Like the ones normal people say Kevin - you know....the F-word, S-word, B-word, C-word, etc.

But if this unhinged "host" can't even string together a sentence without resorting to saying goddam over and over and over, I feel like perhaps his mental health is on the decline. Maybe Mr. Hart has tourrette's syndrome or some kind of language disorder? Plus his unwelcome mumbling on the microphone offstage, interrupting people at the podium, was as unprofessional as it was bizarre. Who does that? If this was the best Netflix could do for a roast, they should give it up and just air Comedy Central ones instead. And book hosts who don't resort to potty-mouth blasphemey every 3rd word outta their mouths.

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.

There seems to be a bunch of purists on here who seem confused about what roasts are about. They are meant to offend and get in the gutter. If it's not for you? Why did you watch it? And better yet, why write a review based on your own biases? This is exactly what the world needs once in a while. A no holds barred roast that leaves no one left unoffended. We should all be able to laugh at ourselves and each other once in a while. I loved this show! I hope they do other people too. There are many others in a long list that we celebrate hating universally. This show is like a hall pass from political correctness. Nearly a perfect show. Just a few slow duds like Kim K or Randy Ross. Otherwise a 10!

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.
