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!

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.

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.

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 :)

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.
