re: Tom Brady Roast live on Netflix

Comedy Central roasts went downhill at the end. "We roast the ones we love" is just became a lie and it ended up being a random celebrity publicity tour.

Yeah at some point they just became mean instead of “mean but in good fun.” And to your point, one of the best roasts was the roast of Seth Roger because it was basically all of his friends roasting him and they were actually mostly funny. As annoying as Jonah Hill is sometimes, he destroyed in his set.

I finished up the Brady one.

The Kill Tony dude was pretty funny.

Affleck was terrible.

Peyton Manning was good.

Gronk was annoying but some of his lines hit. The funniest thing about Gronk is just how consistently stupid he is.

Robert Kraft was a little awkward; did he have a stroke or something? It seemed like he was slurring his words a little bit. But I enjoyed his Brady story though.

Kevin Hart got worse and worse for me though. I hated how every time he got back on the mike he felt like he has to grade the previous set and then “get even” and talk shite about the last performer for several minutes. And very little of it was funny and it really killed the flow of the show. And him getting drunker as the night went on didn’t help.

I thought Brady did a good job with his rebuttals too. He seems like a fairly likable dude despite me thinking he’s a weird dude.
