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!

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!

As a fan of comedy roasts, I eagerly tuned in to the Tom Brady Roast, hoping for an evening of sharp wit and hilarious jabs. While the roast delivered some memorable moments thanks to the incomparable Jeff Ross, it was unfortunately overshadowed by the lackluster hosting of Kevin Hart.

Jeff Ross, known as the Roastmaster General, brought his A-game to the stage, delivering one blistering insult after another with his trademark razor-sharp humor. His timing was impeccable, and his ability to riff off the other roasters ensured that there was never a dull moment.

However, the same cannot be said for Kevin Hart, whose hosting duties fell short of expectations. While Hart has found success in the entertainment industry, his performance as the host of the Tom Brady Roast left much to be desired. His jokes felt forced, his delivery was often grating, and his constant attempts to steal the spotlight grew tiresome quickly.

One can't help but wonder how someone like Kevin Hart rose to fame in the comedy world. While humor is subjective, his style seems to rely more on volume and energy than genuine wit or cleverness. In a lineup of seasoned comedians, his presence felt out of place and ultimately detracted from the overall enjoyment of the event.

In conclusion, the Tom Brady Roast had its moments of brilliance thanks to Jeff Ross and the talented roster of roasters, but Kevin Hart's subpar hosting detracted from what could have been a truly unforgettable evening.

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.
