I am a big fan of roasts, but TB12 roast was, to put it mildly, the worst roast I have ever seen. I'm totally OK w/ crude, even vulgar humor, but, this roast lacked originality; unless you find a constant stream of 'jokes' about Brady and his 'interactions' with his team mates funny. On top of that Kevin Hart is a terrible comedian. His 'shtick' was to periodically look at Brady and say 'Scr36w u Tom'. Wow, how clever is that?
In addition, Hart cannot be involved with anything without making it about race. His black people/white people comments were utterly lame and ,frankly, insulting.
A few highlights were provided by Nikki Glazer who delivered a knock-out joke about Gronk and crypto-currency; absolute killer. Jeff Ross was OK, but, he seemed to be off his usual game. Gronk was a total embarrassment. His act seemed to be how loud can he yell about Brady and the Patriot's locker room 'antics'. Not funny, at all.
Belichick and Kraft should, as the saying goes, not quit their day jobs although we were constantly reminded that Belichick doesn't have a job at this point.
Drew Bledsoe was probably the best of the non-professional roasters. Randy Moss looked like a guy who wandered in and since no one knew he was let him get in a few tepid digs at Brady.
I don't get Peyton Manning. He's a guy with limited talent who has parlayed this into (I'm guessing) a very lucrative career as an huckster and a quasi-football commentator.
Ben Affleck seemed utterly lost without a script and a director telling him what to do.
Will Farrell did his usual indignant, put-upon act. It is as tiring as it is not funny. He came on as Ron Burgandy. I would bet that Farrell came up with that name. That seems to be the kind of humor is is capable of. If his character in Anchorman had a normal name like, say, Stan Schlitz, it would have been, IMHO, way funnier, but, hey, Farrell is the one with all the accolades and the money and the fame.
The rest of the dais consisted of basically the comedians you might see on any night at your local Yuk-Yuks. Hopefully, we will never see them again at a televised roast.
Brady's rebuttal was 'I'm great, you're not. Scr#w U'; over and over again. Tiring and humiliating at the same time. He should sue who ever wrote this piece of crap for him.
So there it is. If you like un-purposeful, vulgarity for its own sake then you may find this humorous. If this isn't your cup of tea, then I suggest looking up some of the past roasts where crudeness comes with a healthy dose of humor and originality.
