tom brady roast

The Netflix Roast of Tom Brady was a highly anticipated event featuring a stellar lineup of comedians and celebrities who took the stage to deliver some of the most cutting and hilarious jokes aimed at the NFL legend. Hosted by Kevin Hart, the roast saw contributions from Nikki Glaser, Jeff Ross, Will Ferrell, Peyton Manning, Tony Hinchcliffe, and Brady's former teammate Rob Gronkowski, among others.

Kevin Hart kicked off the night with sharp humor, immediately addressing Brady's personal life and professional decisions. Hart's joke about Brady's divorce from Gisele Bündchen was a standout: "When you got a chance to go 8-9 and all it will cost you is your wife and your kids, you gotta do what the f--k you gotta do".

Nikki Glaser delivered some of the harshest jokes, including a biting remark about Brady's marriage: "Tom, your marriage lasted almost as long as your NFL career, but at least the NFL didn’t make you give up avocado ice cream".

Will Ferrell, reprising his role as Ron Burgundy, led the crowd in a chant of "Eli Manning made Tom Brady his b****," injecting absurd humor into the roast and delighting the audience.

Jeff Ross, known for his no-holds-barred roasts, made a dramatic entrance wearing a bloody O.J. Simpson jersey. One of his most controversial jokes involved Patriots owner Robert Kraft, referencing Kraft's 2019 scandal. Brady humorously but firmly told Ross to avoid repeating such jokes, saying, "Don't say that s*** again," which was caught on microphone.

Peyton Manning showed his comedic chops, mixing respect with ridicule. He joked about Brady's acting skills in commercials: "Tom, I was your biggest rival for years, and I can say with confidence, you’re the greatest. But watching you try to act in those commercials? Not so much".

Tony Hinchcliffe added his edgy humor to the mix, with sharp one-liners that targeted Brady's meticulous lifestyle. "Tom, you eat so clean, I bet your sh*t doesn’t even stink. But your acting sure does," he joked, highlighting Brady's less successful forays outside football.

Rob Gronkowski brought his playful energy to the roast. Known for his fun-loving personality, Gronkowski took a shot at his own image: "Tom, I love you like a brother, but man, you gotta teach me how to read those defense books. The pictures are nice, but the words, bro, the words".

Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura also delivered dark humor, including showing an embarrassing photo of a young Brady and making controversial comparisons, showcasing their fearless comedic style.

Bill Belichick, Brady’s former coach, added a rare touch of humor. During a pre-taped segment, he poked fun at himself and Brady’s success: "For all of you out there who think about who's responsible for the Patriots success during the time Tom and I was together — was it Tom or me — in reality the truth of the matter was it was both of us because of me".

Tom Brady himself closed the night with a mic-drop moment. He joked about Kim Kardashian, saying, "I know Kim was so nervous to be here tonight, not because of this, but because the kids are home with their Dad," and subtly referenced his divorce, quipping, "I miss the love of my life: football" .

The roast was a comedic success, delivering a blend of edgy, heartfelt, and hilarious moments that entertained both fans and critics. It’s a must-watch for anyone who enjoys sharp, unfiltered comedy and a unique look at one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.
