Roast Battle Tom Ward v Darren Harriott Comedy Central

[@hithere9235]

I'm very confused. This wasn't even close, Tom slaughtered him.

[@mindaugassavela3597]

agree

[@joselimai]

No, they where close, but Darren was better...

[@99Plastics]

@@joselimai mate the fact the audience was dead silent during that shit joke should have been instant elimination

[@ghostinthemachine209]

There was no contest on this. Tom was a clear winner. All of his roasts were clever and had much better punchlines.

[@therealxunil2]

Yeah. That accordion reference was a brick.

[@nickhimself]

You're wrong, though... because professional comedians judged Tom the loser. Like... how do you believe you're more qualified to judge this than three comedians who earn paychecks doing comedy, and a studio audience who agreed with their consensus? They laughed more at Darren's jokes. Darren was the better comedian during this roast and he didn't even comment on Tom looking like Dollar Store Austin Powers

[@ghostinthemachine209]

@@nickhimself what a dumb comment. Darren won by literally 1 vote. Jimmy Carr gave the W to Tom, Katherine said she only gave the W to Darren because of a joke on the end and Johnathan Ross said "it was too close for him to want to pick". So it was hardly a unanimous vote for Darren. His jokes weren't good. He wasn't anywhere as funny as Tom. The difference is night and day. It's obvious what's going on here 🤣. Let's give black dude a win for reparations and to to show how many social justice points we can win

[@vengefulcloud2337]

That’s a terrible argument. Im mean..Like “professional” cops, lawyers and the people who run our countries get paid(extremely well) to do their jobs.. are you saying you don’t question half the shit they say or do?🤣 Let alone the fact that the funniest(by a mile) of the 3 judges thought Tom was the winner🤷‍♂️

[@danielreed5199]

@@nickhimself It has been 11 months now, hopefully you have got yourself a dictionary and looked up the word "subjective". To be objective though, Darren literally died on stage during one of his jokes, they only get 5 jokes each, that is a 20% fail rate. Also, Toms jokes were a lot cleverer, Darren sounded like a kid in the playground with the way he delivered his simple 1 line insults. "Where's your accordion?" wow... that blew me away, he must have spent months working on that one, figuring out the correct order of the the 3 words must have been a huge challenge for him. Also again... Jonathan Ross is not actually a comedian he is a film critic and broadcaster, it is a bit like Simon Cowell judging talent when he obviously doesn't have any himself. Also.. once more why do you think that Darren should have said that Tom looks like a Dollar Store Austin Powers?? you realise this is a UK TV program with a mainly UK audience we don't have Dollar Stores here we have Pound Shops ffs. If he used your joke he would have bombed twice, but then again you sound American so it makes sense, you lot like to bomb things twice to get your message across.

[@gerrynelsonmusic]

Tom was stronger. I felt like his lines were more nuanced. Jimmy got it right.

[@followtheboat]

The GTA joke was class but Tom was consistently better in each round.

[@wildchild0003]

Yeah, I definitely agree. I liked Darren, but one of his jokes wasn’t really even understood by the audience or the judges lol

[@richosull]

Agreed, Tom smashed that.

[@JamesThompsonsMusic]

Agreed

[@poolboy6]

The Rob Beckett and Bleached Asshole jokes definitely beat out the GTA joke.

[@NandiCollector]

agree

[@kingspeshalist2639]

The judges roasted Tom better than Tom's actual opponent did. Shit wasnt even close

[@fishsick]

Tom slaughtered him, poor judging

[@bovinicide]

Agreed, Tom's was much edgier, more brutal and funnier.

[@squalloogal]

“Where’s your accordion?” That’s going to haunt Tom for years to come. The Rob Beckett teeth joke was my favourite.

[@kurtsudheim825]

I know, hire did nobody talk about that, even Darren keeled over

[@smithryansmith]

@@kurtsudheim825 it was the best joke of the set. this was an embarrassing decision. Only Jimmy had standards.

[@wesleymatthews6409]

Tom won by a mile... It wasn't even close... Jimmy Carr is obviously the only one paying attention...

[@jakeplackett7254]

Agreed Tom won it by far

[@kurtsudheim825]

How did nobody talk about the Bob Beckett joke, even Darren couldn't contain himself

[@takingbackprofits1280]

Tom killed it... Judges are very wrong on this one.

[@paulallen7366]

The C in black country was an amazing line. Easy winner

[@uatu3021]

Darren got some good shots in, but Sargent Pepper's Lonely Heart delivered a more consistent beat down, and that makes me angry.

[@TheMusicalElitist]

Sergeant*

[@pbateman6775]

Toms Beckett joke was by far the best

[@TheTilitus]

This Austin Powers looking guy is amazing!

[@TomWardComedian]

hahaha

[@brucegreg1859]

Tom Won hands down!

[@NC-ck5oj]

When i first saw Tom, I immediately wanted him to lose because of his creepy appearance and aura but come one, he definitely won. I think we'll see much more from him, just hopefully it wont be for his sex crimes

[@ThestuffthatSaralikes]

Hahahaha!

[@UmeastudentTV]

Tom was far better, more consistent, original and every joke hit home. The GTA joke was awesome though :).

[@SH-qs7ee]

Not sure it was better than the bleached asshole joke though though

[@jamie79337]

Tom on a different level

[@mikewood6528]

How the fuck did Darren win that? Tom won hands down

[@Matthew_007]

Tom won that by a mile.

[@helicrashpro]

WTF, Jimmy was the only judge to call this fairly.

[@seanreardon1165]

Come on judges. This feels too politically correct. Tom was *CLEARLY* the winner!

[@tombstonerforever9374]

Maybe they felt bad as Darren list his first roast battle.

[@99Plastics]

@@tombstonerforever9374 theyve shat on plenty ppl for first roast

[@Chicanery_Artifice]

maybe because jonathon ross mentioned that "jimmy won't be voting for darren because he's a racist", despite it being a joke, it kind of set an unspoken expectation. just a thought, not sure.

[@Joel-uv5tg]

Darren got tumbleweed.... I've never heard tumbleweed.... his other jokes were weak and he couldn't stop laughing at Tom's jokes.... ummmm what was that decision?

[@jaybestnz]

The Rob Beckett in blackface joke was amazing. 😂

[@DannyWood7989]

This joke alone won it.

[@Tkieron]

Wow the laughs are so boosted they actually hurt my ears with headphones on despite the rest of the video being fine.

[@TomWardComedian]

yes the joys of TV

[@nigelreed]

Tom won in my opinion.

[@MoonlitMedows]

Man, this is such an amazing show!

[@leoscheibelhut940]

I thought the "Where's your accordion?" joke was killer, because even though no one, myself included, got it, it completely stopped Tom's brain function for nearly a minute. He had absolutely nothing to comeback with. Darren blew his chance to crush Tom by waiting for laughs that never came instead of piling on more jokes while Tom was speechless.

[@julieproctor6039]

Ditto

[@TheDandonian]

Hayley from Coronation Street had this won all day long.

[@edwin5419]

Really? Darren bombed and still won? Clearly rigged. Tom was savage and hilarious

[@andrewsmith1862]

I think we can all agree that Tom won. But the black rob beckett had me in stitches

[@L4DReaver]

Tom had bangers all throughout, Darren had 2 bangers and 2 meh. The funniest part though was Jonathan Ross tryna act like he's DOWN WITH THE KIDS by pretending like he got the GTA joke lmao.

[@101TB101]

To be fair I think he is actually into games. Oddly I think he partly owns his own game dev studio

[@Theonevidz]

Jonathan literally publishes games and owns shit tons of gaming history and old consoles. He’s a proper gamer

[@karigisla]

dude watch just two seconds of his hour long tour of his office where he shows the fraction of an insane nerd cave with the biggest nerd toys and every console ever amongst some ancient super computer for video games amongst his current setup, he is definitely a gamer and hes not down with the kids he looks down at the kids for being pathetic at video games if anything, your way out of pocket here dude and that's very ageist statement to just assume that he doesn't know what gta is, he was even hired by microsoft to work on the xbox one as an executive producer, he also worked on halo 3 amongst other games, he is a veteran gamer

[@loganoutlaw9769]

Tbh it was cool to see them both smile and shake hands before judging. In that sense we all won. Best of to them both. ( Tom won fu he got robbed =P )

[@robwalton3686]

The Rob Beckett joke was so good

[@lisalacapitana]

I thought the accordion joke was a hilarious slow burn just to F with Tom, which he took the bait on, looking all around. Keep this one! I'm still kind of laughing bc it totally took him off his game for a bit. Unintentional - but worked out for me!

[@zemvk]

Tom was better through out. But the real winner is the sound guy who played the church bell sound at the accordion joke.

[@TheFounderUtopia]

"Haggard old face" is the most brutal takedown in this video and it wasn't even during a roast. XD

[@KorhalKk]

The Robert Beckett character was the best joke in this video.

[@ONLYJDkettlebels]

Tom won by a landslide! Wtf- he was so much better

[@BaldWolf]

Tom Ward won this

[@glados4765]

If your opponent is that confident to go out there in that outfit with that haircut, you know you about to get destroyed.

[@Sleviron]

Tom's jokes wasn't really personal, it was all just kinda "meh insults". Obviously darren won because his jokes actually had references in them. Tom's appearence is making him the easiest target to hit

[@HardlyQuinn]

Wow Tom was clearly miles ahead all the way. Not so much as a smile cracked for Darren

[@MattHolstein]

Oh man, I loved Tom on The Big Bang Theory!

[@blinkyboy86]

First second of seeing Tom Ward I thought Gareth Southgate had dressed up as a Beatle.

[@celestialnubian]

Tom had better control of this battle. I don't know what the judges were thinking.

[@ROOKTABULA]

Much MUCH better than the last clip I watched with anti-laugh hack, Joe Lycett

[@charlie2.048]

Were the judges incredibly stoned? Tom should have won that. Sure Darren was okay but his jokes were mostly quite uninspired.

[@iggysixx]

...and Tom 'the Psych' Ward. Epic introduction. Dope nickname

[@kaylinrajah3595]

Tom should have won, hands down

[@paulover5016]
