Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber (2015)

People are voting emotionally.

hyped garbage

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I admit that there are good moments snuck in but, over all it is just a Carefully choreographed puff promotion for the little douchebag. Kevin Hart hosted and fell all over his little self to be the ld's best buddy. Martha Stewart why was she there? The links to illegal behavior maybe. Other similar qualities to the ld's, like childish rage at underlings and horrible breath? We may never know for sure. Jeffrey Ross, okay he's funny finally in his waning years. Hannibal Buress is another of ld's sycophants, meh. Chris D'Elia has to say yes to any on air opportunity otherwise no connection, eh? LD's SNL acquaintance Pete Davidson likewise. Ludicrous, who is that? A rapper no one listens to, especially not here. The Shaq, one of LD's photo op friends for TMZ and paparazzi and nowhere else. Snoop Dog, sometimes he's accidentally funny forgetting lines because he's too stoned, and the connection to sleeping with Martha Stewart I guess; has he even met LD before or remember if he did? So that leaves Will Ferrell who did a little skit and carefully avoided interaction with LD, mildly amusing. Overall again just a Carefully choreographed puff promotion for the little douchebag.

As I've mentioned before, I've already seen a bunch of these Comedy Central roasts, but this is one I saw tonight for the first time. I laughed until I physically hurt and cried. Unlike the two most recent ones I watched (Donald Trump and Rob Lowe), everyone brought their A-game, even if they weren't all at the same level. Singling out two, Natasha Leggero (who I hadn't heard of before this) and Shaq were the surprises to me. Natasha for how brutal she got, and Shaq for doing something I wasn't aware he could do effectively, i.e., deliver jokes (that were pretty funny as well). Most surprising inclusion was Martha Stewart, who also did well for a non-comedian. All in all, I liked that pretty much every dais member went for the jugular, even if they ended their mic time by saying how much they liked Bieber. I mean, they only roast the ones they love, right? Really the only downside was the last-minute decision (undoubtedly pre-planned) to turn this into a sort-of personality rehab. Whatever happened to insulting people for the heck of it? Nobody's perfect, after all. I don't want to see someone try to exorcize their demons publicly. Anyway, similar to what Hannibal Buress said, I don't like his music. Never have. However, this 90-minute-ish roast with a willing participant who enjoyed himself was time and money well-spent.

Justin Bieber is on his apology tour. I applaud the dude for trying to fix his image and I'm glad he's staying out of trouble. He shows humility for suffering all the jabs. Kevin Hart is the MC. I usually love him and his humor but he's not as funny at roasting people. His bread and butter is being an idiot, getting hit and making fun of himself. He tries too hard to be nice by keep saying that he loves Bieber. SNL rookie Pete Davidson is the first roaster and he lands one great joke about being glad his father is dead after seeing Justin's dad. It's ridiculous that Ludicrous, Snoop Dogg, Shaquille O'Neal and Martha Stewart are telling jokes. Although Stewart has a hilarious African-American joke and I'm sure they all got lots of good writers. Snoop Dogg is really smart going off script and Kevin Hart has some hilarity reacting to him. They should substitute Ludicrous and bring up Dave Chappelle from the audience. Ludicrous should not be up there if he's going to be angry at a Paul Walker joke. Sure it's tasteless but that's expected. He's a better audience member. Bieber dead-pans his delivery and some of the jokes hit well. He does need to stop doing the fake smile and just enjoy it. Did anybody else notice his reaction to Jeffrey Ross' Selena joke? That's an unintentional classic. Chris D'Elia starts with an uncomfortable ISIS joke. His jokes are a little too harsh and as Kevin Hart says, "That was dark." Natasha Leggero, Hannibal Buress and Jeffrey Ross do good sets. Will Ferrell makes a surprise appearance and brings out his Ron Burgundy character. This is an uneven roast with some funny moments.

It had some funny moments in it. Especially the one with Pete Davidson, Jeffrey Ross and Hannibal Buress made me laugh the most. Kevin Heart was really good at taking the lead on this one. As always he plays the funny midget and succeeds in it. Especially the jokes they made about Shaquille O'Neal were the funniest by far. Truly funny.There were moments where you realize that some of them fake laugh, because they are made to... and sometimes some jokes did not make any sense, i mean they were out of context and shouldn't have been mentioned, in my opinion. But again, it's a roast and everything can be thrown at you, no matter what.This roast is no different to all other roasts, i watched it just to see and hear the stereotypical 'facts' about JB. Will this change the image of JB? my answer = NOPE, in my eyes he will and always be a rich, successful cocky little girl.7/10 because i laughed at some moments.
