More importantly, though, Kevin Hart would like to remind you that none of this is his business (even if, in a strictly financial sense, it absolutely was his business).

As a guy from ourside US the whole roast thing is baffling to me I know is a culture thing but the Fat guy bombed like 10 jokes outright and the Rock coming to hit on his wife was more sad rather than funny. There where some good ones but well still the question that got lodged in my head is why the fuck the fixation with “anything goes comedy” why you have to let anyone pick onto your worst because is comedy? I tought I would see something like Smosh’s funerary roast but not even.
I’m from the US and if comedy roasts are a cultural phenomenon then I wasn’t aware of it.
Yeah, I don’t get them either. Best case scenario you can have a mild chuckle at the people you consider friends who know you the best exposing how they really see you after being given an invitation to do so and then living with that knowledge for the rest of your life. Worst case scenario all of the above, minus any lighthearted levity, but add in deep-seated insecurities causing you to become defensive and driving a wedge between you and your loved ones permanently.
Roasts are intended to be good natured. Insults from friends who actually like you a lot. They aren’t meant to be taken seriously. And it’s done with the consent of the roastee. Not everyone has skin thick enough for it.
At least, I think that’s what you are confused about.
Yeah but some go like “anything goes” and that’s just mean instead of comedy. Smosh’s funerary roasts where much better they didn’t seemed to go overboard.
