Tom Brady Roast

[CoachHines3]

that was actually a great roast.

being on netflix, and live, probably helped. Much better than those things comedy central throws out.

tom and bert were OK. I get they were trying to be a little different with their routine.

nikki was fantastic. Tony, too

Winners of the night:
Nikki Glazer- just incredible
Tony Hinchcliffe- not too familiar with him but the “Ah hell gnaw” joke may have been my favorite of the night
Bill Belichick- it’s cool to continue to see a different side of him. I’m surprised he did this but his set was great and he was a good sport all night

I also enjoyed Sam Jay, Edelman, Ron Burgundy (if it was a little shorter), and for some reason laughed every single time Kevin Hart threw in a “**** you Tom!”. Peyton Manning also seemed in his element and is very comfortable in front of the mic.

Losers of the night:
Kim K- she shouldn’t have been part of it and was clearly uncomfortable reading off the prompt the entire time
Gronk- I’m sure others enjoyed but I barely laughed at anything he said. Went on too long about **** jokes and just wasn’t that funny for me
Tom and Bert- Pretty big miss by them IMO. It was just awkward and unfunny most of the set.
Ben Affleck- see Tom and Bert's analysis

I like them in some ways but for me it seems like many of the speakers don't know the roastee that well and some of it gets really cringe as some of them just keep lambasting someone like it's their place to do it.

Jimmy Kimmel continuing to dig into Robert Downey Jr. at the Oscars when it was pretty clear how unneeded it was was just not fun.

Norm McDonald is still the champ with his roast of the roast and trolling everyone and Bob Saget knowing full well what he was doing.

I think that's kind of my thing too. You get these "professional roaster" types like Jeff Ross or Glazer and they can write a funny joke, but it's just kind of weird since you know they've surely never met Tom Brady. Have them write jokes and have guys like Belicheck or Edelmen deliver them all night.

Agree with comment I saw about it being too long.

Could of done without Hart analysis comments after every roaster. Just do a **** you Tom and bring up the next person.

The Affleck bit was also a miss for me

Overall though a solid show.

I haven't seen it yet but I'm struggling to envision Belichick laying down consecutive zingers. He could land a good joke at a press conference but it was typically like going to the dentist.

I like Eli the former football player a lot better than I liked Eli the football player. The current version is pretty entertaining.

The best ending to a roast had to be William Shatner. Guy entered the roast on a horse.

At the end George Takai said something like "I can finally say **** you and the horse you rode in on"

Is this still available to watch?

Tom and Bert kinda sucked.

Because they do. Bert is the least funny "comedian" in decades. Tom used to be quite good.

Tom has definitely had some absolutely hilarious stuff in his act. Some of his standup bits are really, really funny. But I don't find Bert to be very funny at all. I think Tom outclasses him in every way.

Agree. I love Bert on podcasts when he's just having a conversation. His stand up isn't that great.

Bert is more of a story teller of some crap he did. I find him ok. He is not a good stand up comedian. Tom is a fantastic stand up comedian and he keeps getting better. I don't mind Bert. He just is not that good of a stand up. His one story of the Machine blew up and made him and he has been riding off that since. He is actually really good at sustaining his fame when he probably is more of a one hit comedy wonder.

Tony was/is the writer for most roasts. He had a huge hand in the Comedy Central roasts. He has a weekly video podcast called Kill Tony where amateur comedians get to perform a 1 minute set in front of a live audience and a comedian panel. It usually goes off the rails.

Comedy ain't dead yet!

Pal, we're in the middle of a Golden Era of comedy right now. There are several comedians who are selling out arenas while countless are filling theaters and smaller venues.

Yeah, I've heard Bert on Conan's XM channel, and he is awful. Last night didn't do anything to change my mind about that.

If you haven't seen Kill Tony, Tony Hinchcliff's live podcast, you are absolutely missing out. It is two hours of hysteria. That show and Adam Ray as Dr. Phil are the two best watches on YouTube right now.

 

[AgronAlum]

The comedians are on the roasts because they write the material for the non comedians too. I thought it was pretty funny overall especially when you consider Comedy Central used to cut the worst roasters because they weren’t live and had commercial breaks. This live show was all in.

Sam Jay, Bledsoe, Tony, Jeff Ross, Shultz and Edelman were all great. Tom and Bert sucked like usual (I miss fat Tom). Affleck was bad. Kim was bad but that line from Brady about Kanye and the kids made it worth her being there. Kevin Hart did a great job hosting.

Harland Williams is moving up into Adam Ray territory for best guest. He’s been on fire during his couple episodes but the Dr Phil bit kills me every time and his full length Comedy Store show is hilarious.

 

[PineClone]

I thought it was great. If you don't want to dedicate three hours, just fast forward to the Nikki Glaser set. She stole the show.
