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.

      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.
