OT: Brady doesn't understand how roasts work

jibsey said:
No he was serious and I understand why but Brady has a good sense of humor. Picture your own father ( and Kraft is a father figure to him) being arrested with a prostitute, you’re at an event and the MC brings it up in a joke. You would smile uncomfortably and be pissed off.

Then dont attend a roast. That was weak as.f on Bradys part.

Nikki Glaser, Andrew Schultz, Tony Hinchcliffe, Bert Kreisher...

This sounds like the 7th circle of hell. Were any funny people actually there?

Greg Giraldo is turning over in his grave.

To be fair, IMO, Glaser had the best joke of the night.
 
I thought Hart was an amazing host. He kept it fun and loose all night, with a dais that was doomed to fail from the beginning. Granted, That’s what happens when only 6 of 12 people on the stage do comedy for a living, lol…Him and McFarlane are the best I’ve seen do this.


Glazer, Hinchcliffe, Ron Burgandy & Sam Jay all killed. Edelman and Gronk were decent, and belicheck was good for what little amount you could expect. Thought Bledsoe was decent too.

Overall good roast that went too long because too many football players got to vomit on the mic.

Oh sorry, that last part was meant to be about Ben Affleck…holy Sh he was terrible
 
Kevin Hart is never funny I have a hard time believing they actually had him MC this event?? I’m sure eventually I will tune in. Heard Affleck was awful as well, sounds like most of the movies he acts in.

The GOAT FB coach roasted the GOAT FB player about his soccer team.

Our rare disagreement. Kevin Hart is funny. You disappoint me. Lol!
 
Haters gonna hate, covering a very broad spectrum and a bunch of different people in thread

You know you made it when you're being roasted

Eh, you guys are being too tough on these comics. In a roast, not every joke is going to crush, and an arena is not the place to do the show. It also shouldn’t be longer than an hour or so long.
I liked Schulz’s jokes and some of Glaser’s. Tony’s jokes were well written, too.

Also, some of you might look at some of these comics and say who’s that - but the nature of the expansion of media has really changed stand up to wider variety of small stars with fan bases that appreciate their styles. I’ve been on shows with some of these comics ten or so years ago when I was doing stand up, and they are better than you realize. Few roasts can reasonably be caught via the camera - in fact the only recent special that would make me laugh out loud was Kurt Metzger’s 30 minute special from about 7 months ago. Before that, I might be going all the way back to Patrice O’Neal.

I did not watch but did see a clip and noticed it was in an arena and i thought that was idiotic.
 
Glaser was the funniest of the night for me. Edelman and Gronk were solid too. Bill as well.

Her crypto joke and her boyfriend joke were both hilarious

I know comedy is subjective, but Nikki Glaser is really good at roasts. I’m trying not to say anything definitive about such a subjective thing, I just think it’s totally wild to say flat out “she’s not funny.”

You could totally say you don’t find her as funny as most do, that’s how I have ALWAYS felt about Kevin Hart. He seems like a funny guy to hang with but I never find his jokes funny or clever.

Also, the whole premise of this thread is odd. Brady handled everything in a way that indicates he definitely understands roasts.

That comment was based on the fact that he got mad at Ross' joke about Robert Kraft, which was fairly tame compared to most roast jokes.
 
A lot of the “humor” was so low class. If you want to see the art of funny with great innuendo watch the old dean martin roasts. Best joke of the night was the Gronk crypto joke “even me know crypto not real money”.

Those old roasts don't hold up as well as you remember.

They were funny but only a few of the guys were super funny. Don Rickles was really, really good. There’s a lot of latitude given on reviews of those old roasts because it’s kind of surreal to be watching Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra up there. They are legendary figures and there’s an element of nostalgia that’s undeniable.

I found the Brady roast very funny. It was absolutely crude, but that’s part of the act. Nikki Glasser prides herself on making you uncomfortable, that’s just part of the method she uses. There’s other comics, like Nate Bargatze, that are totally clean. That doesn’t make him better, it’s just a style. I don’t think he’d be nearly as funny if he did a crude act. Different personalities and styles. I guarantee you, they find each other funny, but they understand the craft.

Right. But given he didn’t do that about anything else, there’s obviously another angle, whatever that may be, that isn’t “he just doesn’t get the concept.”

I’d say everything points to “he gets the idea of how roasts work”

Me and wifey love Bargatze, she started watching him on IG and feels she was an early adopter.

I find Nikki very funny too.

I'll still take Don Rickles and Redd Foxx roasting their buddies over a bunch of hack stand ups who had their jokes written for them roasting someone they don't know.

Yes the old roasts were funnier, Lebron couldn’t play in the 80s, and these damn kids have it so easy these days.

LeBron definitely could've played in the 80s
