Historical Roasts

What a wasted concept. So many talented comedians and this slow paced, sorry excuse for comedy was the best you all could do? Turn in your comic cards and get day jobs.

So as we all know Jeff Ross is one of those comedians with no filter whatsoever. And if you are like me, and alot of comedians and stand up enthusiasts, you go into this open minded ready for the worst and ready to have fun with it. DO NOT WATCH IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED!!! Now to the 8/10 rating. I gave it 8 out of 10 because I do think its funny and creative. However some of it gets redundant and a little sloppy. Overall a great watch for a real fan of comedy. In the words of D.L. Hughley, NOONE IS EXEMPT FROM COMEDY.

To the people who say this show is disrespectful: It's not. It's supposed to be a satire meant to make people laugh, especially since nowadays, politics have become too heated a subject to talk about peacefully. But then again, we live in an age where anyone can be easily offended by just one little joke to the point of sparking a controversy.

So anyway, this is a good show. This only gets seven stars from me because the jokes are hit or miss. Some joke I liked, others fell flat. But I was not offended by them because I understand this is meant to be a satire of the historical figures involved and a show that is supposed to poke fun at events both historical and current, which is supposed to be the aim of the comedy series. If you are offended by such portrayals, all I have to say is do not watch.

First this is not real roast, its people playing historical people simulating what a roast with those people would look like so you lose that awkwardness of people getting sick burns live to their face. Having said that, it has some smart and funny burns, you might learn a few new things but this is definitely a relax and enjoy show, dont expect a lot from it, it has some dumb moments but also some edgy and funny ones.

I get that some people won't dig it. Much of the jokes are written in an old school vaudeville style and it won't land for most modern audiences. There's nothing wrong with that. Not everything is for everybody.

But I love this, my wife loves it and my kids do, too.

Everything from historical rumors and less publicized facts are brought out and laid out in a way that sticks. Kudos to the staff on making this and Netflix for having the guts to distribute. I hope they make more.
