The Roast of Tom Brady

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.

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.

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!

Like most roasts it was inconsistent. There were some hysterical moments and some boring moments. The professional comics were all pretty good with Nikki Glaser and Jeffrey Ross really standing out. The athletes were ok too with some of them (Julian Edelman and Drew Bledsoe) being surprisingly funny. Ben Affleck was a complete waste of time (what's he so angry about?). Brady's closing was solid!

You can't watch something like this if you're easily offended. As Kevin Hart said in his intro, sometimes you just have to make the uncomfortable comfortable. Not everyone can do that or even wants to and that's ok. But for those who think offending everyone means offending no one, you'd probably enjoy this, especially if Netflix releases a 90 minute edit of the best moments

If you watched it, what are your thoughts?
