[@Disurboij1979]

I’m so glad you reviewed the Roast of Tom Brady. That was one of the BEST THINGS Netflix has ever done.

[@Scarcities]

Thank you for saying what needs to be said. Every time I saw a "this is disgusting... the vulgarity!" comment on my timeline I just wanted to yell at that person "THEN WHY THE HELL ARE YOU WATCHING A ROAST!? GO TO BED!"

[@ZblockWoW]

The roast was phenomenal. No filters, funny af, and LIVE. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jeffmoore6279]

Netflix knocked it outta the park on this one.

[@RedDragon1337]

Tony Hinchcliff is the fucking man. He needs props. not only did he have the best set, but he wrote a bunch of the jokes for the non-comedians.

[@okay1775]

He definitely wrote the one for Dana right? That was good

[@edwardduarte7393]

I was there Sunday night. I am going to see Tony Sunday for Kill Tony. He got cancelled.

[@ukee31]

thats a cool details thanks i was curious

[@rosendoza]

Netflix needs to do this annually. The sanitized Comedy Central versions were garbage. This was fantastic and anyone clutching pearls over this are probably enjoying Elsbeth on CBS

[@rayelee1301]

which one(s) were sanitized? The Jonas Bros one was the only dud Ive seen

[@jodythomas4324]

The last 2 or so were very sanitized but the first handful or so they did were anything but they were great. Even the Franco one, which was one of the later ones, was still great, that’s a top 3 all time for me personally. Franco himself was horrible lol but every panelists there killed it.

[@kylem6370]

@jodythomas4324 the Justine Bieber one was great too, mainly cause the panel of roasters was awesome and they had good celebrities like Shaq and Martha Stewart

[@VonJay]

I’m guessing you’ve never watched a Comedy Central roast

[@roval7]

I can’t blame CC for holding back on the roasts. They pretty much gave Trump the platform to announce his presidential run back in 2011.

[@dcron6]

Hats off to Tom Brady and some others that put themselves out there for the roast. That was the best roast I can remember seeing. And I've seen the James Dean roasts too.

[@jacobdionne4334]

You mean Dean Martin roasts?

[@dcron6]

@@jacobdionne4334 - yeah. Dean Martin roasts.

[@dcron6]

James Dean was the youngster in Rebel without a cause, if I remember correctly. Dean Martin lived long enough to have some roasts.

Never watched a roast before. It was brilliant 😂😂

[@raiderone6205]

the Tom Brady roast was refreshing, Keep free speech alive, dont let the PC cops win

[@williamf.buckleyjr3227]

1:46 Yes. Listen to Sammy Davis, Jr's "last word" when he was the man of the hour on Deano's roasts. PERFECT.

[@ZJ-ne9kn]

I saw eisen in several of the crowd shots, so i wondered what he thought. I thought it was a little long but better than expected

[@johno9761]

We need a little humour in this day and age it’s all so damn serious and miserable

[@masterp2269]

This was the funniest thing I've seen in a LONG time! It was across the board hilarious. Even the LEAST funny people (Moss, someone else I can't remember) were still pretty good. Kudos

[@lgonzalez1154]

Thatbroast fantastic! Miss Greg Giraldo he was ridiculous

[@TheChrisLouis]

Will Smith could never.

[@PaulGonzalez-mc7zw]

The roast was amazing - a little long but great comedy. Could you see LeBron go through something like that? Highly unlikely - all of his former coaches could go first!

[@M98747]

LeBron would be eaten alive. Heck, if there's anyone that can't read as well as Gronk, it's LeBron. He's still on the first page of every book during those interviews. Bro wants to be a civil rights icon, but his reading level is below Ruby Bridges.

[@speedypanda454]

The best thing of the Roast was,...Skip Bayless was not invited

[@timothypage8147]

Good for the comics for having no fear. I feel a sense of triumph for comedy in general over the PC police.

[@dwx6618]

They did not include the video message Eli Manning recorded from the Pro Bowl for Brady though there should be a short of it on the NYG channel

[@jeffhall8693]

Netflix even took a beating on the roast... I Loved It!!!

[@entertheadventure5313]

Almost everyone involved in this a conservative Rich. We're not and have never been the cancel culture. I'm really happy to see you and the boys excited to see comedy back.

[@evandh1989]

“You might not like the style of comedy in a Roast, because it’s uncomfortable, because you don’t like the language, you don’t like the ground rules being that there are no ground rules, *then you do not watch the Roast.*” Amen!

[@JGComments]

Can we stop burying the lead? Sure Rich was part of the roast, but he just went on After Midnight and WON!

[@neugey]

Last night might have gotten comedy out of intensive care and into a recovery room. The depraved crossfire nature of roast humor is refreshing every now and then. The best was the Saget roast (RIP Bob) and Brady and Shatner are tied for 2nd.

[@kylem6370]

@neugey for real, I think it showed ppl are sick of other people being “offended” and “offended for someone” when it’s all in good nature. Instead of ppl caving in and letting cancel culture cancel them they’re finally standing up and telling them to shut up or just don’t watch it

[@Ramiz112]

Surprised that rich of all people was so down with the roast.

[@michellem2273]

It felt so good to laugh for 3 hours I was crying from laughing so hard and I was there

[@roaspeci]

It was really good and a lot of fun! .. somelines to Gisele were a bit over because she was not inside and she had no chance to refuse but overall a perfect event

[@user-bi1bt4vl1n]

I never laughed so hard in my life!!!

[@dylanmmc]

Ive watched several roasts. Love Freyer’s Club and Comedy Central roasts. Kevin Hart was an incredible host.

[@dominicpainter7603]

Stand up for yourself! If your worried about losing your audience you shouldn’t because your gaining viewers at the same time!

[@shep68]

GenZ twitter is soft. I wouldn't worry about what a few thousand of them post. Not reflective of reality.

[@ignaciojaramillo6232]

The great thing about roasts? They are fair, and when the jokes start flying anybody and everybody gets some, and boy, last night they all did.

[@jesselabbe7389]

"Nobody was more happier about the return of..." More happier???? Grammarly , it really does work.

[@titoperez1327]

The only thing missing from yesterday greatest roast ever were Bill Burr and louis ck which are the masters of comedy and are from Boston. That would have been the cherry on top. Anyway it was The most hilarious comedy show I have ever seen

[@nickpappas9527]

"Tony would probably say that in public" This guy clearly doesn't know Tony.

[@spoonerson1103]

You had the platform the whole time. Tom had to do it.

[@n00blike]

I was surprised that Tom reacted more to the Kraft massage joke than to any of his family jokes. Maybe that's why she left him?

[@Dfm25387]

It's not for you the best thing they said haha

[@sirpudge241]

Someone I really enjoy listening to and follow had a problem with roast. Called it disgusting and mean spirited. He since deleted the tweet for getting so much heat.

[@spoonerson1103]

Mmmmm. Now you are all on board. Mmmm

[@pkdude5334]

I usually can't stand Kevin Hart but he actually did pretty well

[@jasonvoss6559]

Truth and humor like most things can be more than one thing if you are offened then it'd not for you then don't watch or comment and you need bubble wrapped safe space with noise canceling headphones.

[@roval7]

2:24 Roasts are cool in that sense because it’s rich and famous people ravaging their fellow rich and famous people and knowing it’s all for the sake of fun. I feel like the best-intentioned aspects of the “woke” perspective isn’t against saying nasty things, but saying them to make fun of vulnerated groups (based on economy, race, gender, sexual orientation, what-have-you) who will be unable to defend themselves due to lack of a platform and a risk of retaliation from more privileged groups. Roasts can coexist with said respect towards those groups.

[@masterp2269]

I'd like to add, about how "woke" people have taken the fun out of everything...Anytime the masses change their lives for the whines of a few...we have a problem.

[@jonljacobi]

I started to watch and couldn't get through it. I'm no prude, but profanity is supposed to punch up comedy, not overwhelm it in juvenile fashion. Kevin Hart set the tone, and everyone else felt they had to follow. Props for being non-woke, but that's it.

[@lacko223]

About the "Gisele jokes": they are not Gisele jokes. They are jokes about a broken marriage. So, if anything, they hit both of them. Nobody went after Gisele personally. They made fun of Brady's miserable lovelife. Tough love, Gisele, for better or worse, you were a part of that.

[@loranv3435]

Dean Martin etc.

[@jodythomas4324]

It was a good roast but it also made me kind of sad when I watched it as it made me realize that Comedy Central is truly dead, and has been for a while. That was the channel I always watched growing up, had so many great shows and roasts almost every year for a while there and now what’s it’s been reduced to is depressing.

[@williamf.buckleyjr3227]

However, comedy does NOT have to "take you out of your comfort zone"; or any other of that NONSENSE. "Bill Cosby, Himself" (May, 1983) is still the funniest hour-and-45-minutes in the history of live stand-up. Billy Gardel's "Halftime" is a DISTANT second place.

[@howyoudurrinhunneh]

I watched a good bit of it Nikki Glaser was the best, Ton and Bill were skippable.

[@roval7]

While I do appreciate some thicker skin on the mass audiences, there’s something offputting about TB rubbing Aaron Hernandez onto his Gronk roast when Gronk himself has shown himself VERY uncomfortable with discussing the guy.

[@TT41401]

I have a joke they should have used. In my spam filter every day I see 90% of all items made up of two things. Blue Power knock off Viagra andf TB12 What is up with that?

[@lilgzbaby2313]

Dude, can we please stop thinking cancel culture was ever real. It's always been just a couple of people in the comment section having a different opion or being offended. Comedy has never been more profitable. Crappy podcasters are making millions just saying that you can't say anything anymore. puke

[@Chris-ep7gf]

so disappointed by Tom Brady’s performance at the end when he got up to roast his roasters. His over-protective ego seemed to be on foul display and it was interesting to see and hear even the audience cringe as he promoted his own greatness, like a child He could have mixed in humor, confidence, self-deprecation and graciousness with jabs at his roasters, but instead he was all self-aggrandizing pride and conceit I thought, maybe he’ll become humble and gracious near his closing remarks. Nope I liked him up until the roast👎 Our society produces these weird personalities who think they’re gods or something because of their fame and wealth… when in reality they’re just football players and/or actors At the peak of western civilization, entertainers in 17th century England were considered the lowest strata of civilized society. Today it’s difficult to imagine living in a society where honor is given to those whose talents actually strengthen society and the next generation… mothers, firefighters, teachers, spiritual leaders, farmers, healers, warfighters, and virtuous leaders of nations Today we honor what globalization needs us to honor… anything that drives more and more consumption and consumerism… which only results in national psychosis
