Yeah, the Brady 9/11 joke at least had some structure behind that made the punchline land. The Hernandez stuff was lazy, just "yeah, I'm going there" stuff.The big problem with the AH jokes was that they weren’t funny, not that it’s a taboo subject. This is the stool he kicked out from under him? You know who else was hung? Just kinda dumb and not so much funny.
If he was, they didn't mention it and he wasn't on camera.Was Eli there?
Damn. That sucks.If he was, they didn't mention it and he wasn't on camera.
Affleck's slot was very weird and it really just seemed like projection based on all the shit he's dealt with through the years on social media. I think the point was that if the GOAT is hearing online criticism about his play then obviously the social media trolls are just plain stupid? I think the only thing he said that caused me to crack even the littlest smile was when he said he had a question for Belichick and said something offhand about not being about Malcolm Butler but even that wasn't delivered well enough for me to remember the details.I watched Affleck’s bit again. FWIW, I don’t think he was joking — at all. I think he was deadly serious, and angry in particular at online fans who attack Brady (and maybe celebrities in general) directly via social media. Not sure if this was the forum for it, but it strikes me that he was trying to make a point.
Her joke about shooting her boyfriend in the face had me howling and crying.Also I think Glaser has taken the mantle from Ross as roast GOAT. She’s always the best part of every roast I’ve seen.
I'll probably watch her segment and then dump out of this, because I don't think I can make it through three hours of this.Yeah, she destroyed the fuck out of Ross IMHO. Ross wasn’t bad but she was out there hitting homers and he wasn’t.
Watch Sam Jay and TB12 at the end too.I'll probably watch her segment and then dump out of this, because I don't think I can make it through three hours of this.
I'm watching him now, and am surprised how funny he's been.Going in, I really thought that was going to be terrible, but it ended up being pretty good. I love Nikki Glaser and she’s always fantastic, but I had really low expectations for the rest of them - mostly Kevin Hart who always sucks. And he did.
Bledsoe was the surprise of the night for me. He was great.
Fast forward through Bert/Tom and Randy Moss for starters. If you like Gronk saying Gronk things watch him but you're not missing much. Watch Drew and Jules.I'll probably watch her segment and then dump out of this, because I don't think I can make it through three hours of this.
I believe this board has a stated position on that question.But 9/11 jokes are fair game?
Can you remind me of it, I forgot.I believe this board has a stated position on that question.
BB's part was great. I appreciated the "not to be confused with the 11 episode roast of me on Apple TV." The bit on Alex Guerrero was good, and I liked his joke about Kevin Hart-- I very much share the opinion.I made it to Tom Segura’s part last night and wasn’t overly impressed. Nikki and Drew were great. I’m watching BB on the stage now. Loved the Darth Vader entrance.
Tom Segura was absolutely the worst part of last night except for maybe Affleck. Embarrassing that a professional comedian was way worse than all these footballers.I made it to Tom Segura’s part last night and wasn’t overly impressed. Nikki and Drew were great.

Randy was in a tough spot. He followed Nikki Glaser. He bombed but not in the same way Segura or Affleck did, I just came away thinking “poor guy, he’s not a professional at this”.I haven't watched any of it yet, but disappointed to hear that Randy bombed.
They were told not to go after Tom's kids, which I get but I was expecting Glaser to do a "if I call you daddy will you kiss me on the lips" type joke. But Glaser is amazing.Glaser was great. For me, it was the Drew line, the one about Tom walking away from his pregnant girlfriend, and the Gronk crypto one. And of course, all the shots at Kevin Hart and Jeff Ross.
The cruelest joke in this roast was asking Randy Moss to follow Nikki Glaser.
It's SoSH so I'm sure we have someone who knows the behind the scenes of one of these types of events, be it Comedy Central or whatever. My assumption is there are writers that put together jokes for the non-comedians and give them stuff to choose from or work directly with the person to come up with some bits. Randy's spot looked like he told the writer's "I'm good, me and my buddies put something together" and they didn't fully understand what they were supposed to be doing.Randy was in a tough spot.

Yup. Edelman and Gronk were great. I loved getting BB and Brady to take a shot together.Tom Segura was absolutely the worst part of last night except for maybe Affleck. Embarrassing that a professional comedian was way worse than all these footballers.
Yeah... I mean you had a Hamas joke and tons of Hernandez jokes, but you can't joke about RK? Absolutely silly.IMO Nikki Glaser was the star last night. She was very funny and obscene and more than proved she was the biggest swinging dick on the dias.
This was not her first nationally televised circle jerk.
I thought TB12's concern about offending or embarassing RK interesting given all the other tasteless stuff that passed the Brady sense of propriety.
It’s been 22.3 years.I believe this board has a stated position on that question.
22.67 jackass. You promised you wouldn't forget.It’s been 22.3 years.
A better joke would be that he couldn't catch a cab.Rumors saying Wes Welker was scheduled to be there, but his arms were not long enough to successfully hail a cab.
