Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 4996381, member: 2500"] I'll give it this, it was better than pretty much every Comedy Central roast I've seen. But I'm old enough to remember the old Friar's Club roasts. Those were typically great because everyone being roasted actually did know everyone doing the roasting. I thought Bledsoe comported himself well, both in his routine and in taking the flak send his way, and it was a lot of flak. Glaser was great. And I'm not generally a fan of her standup. I'm pretty unfamiliar with Sam Jay, but she got off a number of good ones. Belichick actually showed personality and wit for the first time in maybe ever. . I thought the number (and quality) of "Brady is gay" jokes were lazy humor. Same for the "Brady doesn't like Black receivers" lines. Do it once, get the laugh, move on to something else. I thought Gronk was actually pretty funny. He got off some zingers, but was also hilarious for doing stereotypical Gronk things without trying to be funny, Tony Hinchcliffe is not funny. Ferrell needs to retire Burgundy. And Andrew Schultz can be funny, but why was he there instead of one of the dozens of great Boston standups? I still don't get the appeal of Bert Kreisher. And why is Ben Affleck looking more and more like Bruce Springsteen each year? [/QUOTE]
