Brady Takes a Jab at West During Roast: A Night of Laughter and Light Jabs
NFL legend Tom Brady has retired, but his throwing power is more than anyone could have predicted. Brady was not just the center of The Roast of Tom Brady, Netflix’s star-studded Netflix is a Joke Festival last Sunday, May 5. He was the king of the comedic punchline: Thanks to his stellar comedic timing, no one could touch him.

In other words, no matter how funny the well-meaning jabs his fellow stars directed at him, he responded in kind. His most prominent target was his fellow A-lister, in the audience, and his snipe was a glorious one. “I know Kim was afraid of coming here at night. Not for this,” Brady joked, “but because her kids are home with their father.”
This was followed by laughter from the audience; Even if Lisa Moskovitz’s comment about Kim’s ex-husband, Kanye West, was said and heard jokingly, it was still a provocative topic. Kim’s reaction turned out to be a combination of two: she laughed, but as if through her teeth, which could indicate humor concealing a subtext or an internal reaction. The head to the side, along with the tight smile, could express controversy in Kim’s mind, which might have made some viewers think about the truth of the joke.
Also, the dynamic between Kardashian and West, who finalized their divorce in 2022, has added another layer to this story; co-parenting of their four children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, has always been a topic of the public’s interest and gossip. Therefore, the roast of Brady has also turned into more than just a funny moment: two public personalities took subtle but unusual parts in the joke that has captured the public’s imagination.
However, the entire night remained as fun as the roast itself was. That’s because the banter turned out to simply be a light-hearted exchange between two good friends, and the audience got to truly enjoy the back-and-forth. Therefore, humor has once again proven to be a connecting factor, even in the complex world of celebrities.
In the final analysis, The Roast of Tom Brady ultimately accomplished what it aimed to do: gave its audience an entertaining and enjoyable evening. When the Netflix Is a Joke Festival concluded, the audience was entertained and the art of the “roast” was almost re-energized. Additionally, people knew that the invulnerable, almost unbeatable Tom Brady was fair game for a well-timed joke or two.
