Tom Brady Roast on Netflix

[tophcfa]

Watched the roast last night and it was the best comedy I’ve seen on Television in longer than I can remember. Even if you’re not a football fan, it’s worth watching. Watching it was a wake up call reminder of how funny comedy used to be before Woke and Political correctness put a gag order on the comedy industry. And whether or not one likes TB12, you gotta give him credit for putting himself in a position where he knowingly was going to get totally abused.

Tom excels in every thing he does including taking abuse lol, one line that I loved went something like if you sleep and eat well ,film your opponents practices , deflate footballs , you to can someday become the third most famous person in a Dunkin’ Donuts ad .And a shoutout to Drew Bledsoe you have always been a classy guy

Tom Brady got paid $30,000,000 to put up with that.

I thought the comedy was excellent, other than the host. Even Bill Belichick was his usual humorous self (he's not really funny, he's a db in person).

Bledsoe, Belichick and Nikki Glaser were amazing. I would not want to be Brady picking his kids up at Bridget or Gisele’ house!

Chump change for him, doesn’t even cover his Bitcoin losses.

a lot of it seemed pretty tasteless and low class, just my opinion

Personally, we both hate the WOKE stuff. They ruin almost anything. One needs to watch what and how they say something, or... Worse with our young.

Will watch the Roast soon. Brady had been my idol for many years, lived in Boston area for most of his years playing there. Then down here when he was with Tampa Bay.

Remember the Dean Martin Roasts on TV back when? Archie Bunker. Mash. Jeffersons. I could go on... the good ole' days.

Check back in post roast. If you find that 3 hours....WOKE, then the term needs to be redefined

My reference re this was that it’s refreshing NOT to have Wokeness regarding the Brady Roast. Pls read my initial post again and I believe that you’ll see that….

[JMintzer]

It was brutal... Brutally funny!

Dam straight it was tasteless, that’s what made it so funny. I wouldn’t call it low class, but I guess that’s a matter of opinion.

Agree.
Its been generations since a comedy roast has commanded the news cycles. They nailed it and Brady and Netflix deserve whatever they made off of it

Gisele apparently isn't pleased.

Maybe they’ll put on more roasts and make the wokeness go away?

Aaron Hernandez felt some of those, even while taking a dirt nap.

The Hernandez jokes were met with some gasps.....and I’m like, really?! Can’t stand some of the LA crowd...

Brady is a spoiled brat in an adult body. Too bad they didn't build a fire and really roast him.

I'm halfway through it, and I have to agree with you and disagree with the OP about it being the funniest humor since woke.


There were so many good comedians down through the years who could be funny without flinging F-bombs, JC's, and genital jokes. Jackie Gleason, Jack Benny, the rest in that era, up to Dick van Dyke, Mary Tyler More, Bob Newhart, Johnny Carson, Carol Burnett, Tim Conway and the rest of that crew, and others like Steve Allen and Chevy Chase. Those people were truly funny without being crude.


In contrast, other than Kim Kardashian, Ron Burgundy, and Bilichick (so far, I'm only halfway), the rest of them had to resort to trash to make a joke.


Kevin Hart is just bad. But maybe his is the way of comedy these days and I'm behind the times. But I remember former roasts that were more intelligently, legitimately funny.
So call me an old biddy. But there's a difference between funny and being crass. The audience seemed to like most of it, though. I will watch the rest this weekend.
Just my opinion that I'm entitled to give. By the audience's reaction, I figure I'm in the minority. Maybe this audience is too young to remember what good humor was.

So.....you’re definitely entitled to your opinion. If we’re comparing eras (which I hate to do), I would agree that the Dean Martin roast series was/is the gold standard. Don Rickles gave a master class every time he took to the dais and nobody was safe. You would agree that his style of comedy was very taboo for that era as well...to some? Again, not to me. IMO, this roast (TB 12)...is representative of what this generation (Boomer, X,Y and Z) was starving for. Unfiltered, unedited and live. Comedy for you may be different because you grew up in a different time....just like your taste in music may differ as well. As you say, you’re entitled to your opinions, likes/dislikes and so is everybody else. Just like in those days, you had a choice to watch it or change the channel. I give you credit for at least attempting to work your way through it....as three hours is a bit of a commitment (Martin roasts were pretty drawn out too). It wasn’t flawless.Yours is a fair critique, I respect it....we just disagree.

Totally agree. I watched 30 minutes and turned it off. I pride myself in having a great sense of humor, and am not easy offended at all, but I thought it was crude, classless, and I didn't think it was all that funny.

[BlackHarley]

I hope the 'Wokies' were able to find their crying rooms in time!

Then you most definitely don’t want to watch any of the older Denis Leary, Ron White, or Lisa Lampanelli types of rude, crude, and socially unacceptable stand up comedy acts. Unfortunately, unless you have the DVD/VCR recordings of those shows, they can no longer be found (canceled) on cable or streaming.

Lisa Lampanelli (Queen of Mean) was so much better than Jeff Ross in her prime. She wasn’t really cxl....she took herself out of the game. As did one of my favorites, Nick Dipaolo....a monster. Politics has tried to kill this type of comedy...but it’s still standing (thanks to the streaming services)

I saw it live. It wasn’t til I watched it again that I noticed that. Disappointing. The whole idea was it was live and ‘unfiltered’. It was 3 hours and change live.....the edited version, about the same (minus that dubbing). So clearly not for time restraints! Apparently the Kardashian’s have some pull....

Brady is a spoiled brat in an adult body.


You've obviously never met the man.

He is not a "brat" and prefers to be treated like "one of the guys", nothing special off the football field.

Now Mac Jones is a brat. Of the FL country club/tennis variety. Brady is from a working class family and earned every level of his success the hard way. Weird at times?...yes. Bratty? Not so much

[BrianL99]

Weird at times?...yes.


The Stepford Wives come to mind.

[MrChip72]

From the sounds of it, seems like some people on here have never seen a comedy roast before. They're supposed to be low-brow humor, vulgar, and over the top.

They still have them all available streaming mostly on Apple and Netflix.

Jealous Cowboys fan still living in the past when they were “Americas Team”. Just as we learned in New England post Brady, no great run lasts forever (but it sure was one hell of a long and epic ride while it lasted).

You remember Jeff Ross roasting Emmitt Smith and Shaq in ‘08 I believe. On the Cowboys; “Jerry Jones....you need to get back to what got you to the top before......crack and whores”! (paraphrasing)

[Taltarzac725]

Definitely a GOAT of Patriot and Buc quarterbacks. Not really a big fan of very raunchy comedy.

Another country heard from.

Shayanna Jenkins, former fiancée of Aaron Hernandez, was "disgusted" by the cruel jokes directed towards her dearly beloved, but departed creep, murdering, boyfriend, at the Brady Roast.

Is this not the epitome of disingenuousness?
