- TriviaWhen Bruce says, "Yippie-ki-yay to every one of you motherfuckers", it was the only uttering of the word "fuck" that wasn't bleeped.
- Quotes
Jeffrey Ross: This is so much fun. I mean, Bruce is such a star. You've been in some of the most iconic scenes in cinema history. My favorite scene in "Pulp Fiction" when you save the guy from getting fucked in the ass. Hey, Dennis, at that point in the movie, were you like "Wait. Who's the bad guy again?"?
[laughter]
Jeffrey Ross: Of course, your most recent film was a big bomb, "Death Wish". What a fucking stinker, Bruce. It looked like you did your own stunts, and your own lighting, editing, and directing.
- ConnectionsReferences The Young and the Restless (1973)
Most of the roasters are not funny at all. Everyone wonders why are they there and I was wondering why am I wasting my time watching this? They don't even know what a "roast" is, some mediocre random jokes is NOT roasting someone.
The hour is saved by Edward Norton who does a great job at roasting Willis in a very sarcastic way. His jab at MCU movies and specially The Incredible Hulk may rub some (a lot of) people the wrong way but it was part of roasting Bruce Willis and fit perfectly.
Jeff Ross, while being funnier than everyone else, was actually just OK when you think how bad everyone else besides Norton was. If everyone else sucks, then of course you gonna have some OK jokes look great too.
All in all, I gave it 5 / 10, thanks to Norton and Ross for saving this otherwise train wreck of a "roast" show. If you are watching on a streaming service, save your time to avoid clingiest jokes and moments and just skip to Edward Norton and Jeff Ross parts.
