> Now, Che is taking to social media to air some grievances about the event, writing on Instagram, “White guys and Black people joke different. Black guy roast like, ‘look at this n—- shoes!’ White roasts are like, ‘Slavery, math, slain teens, sex crimes, slurs, family secrets.’ White guys don’t give a fuck about they shoes.”
> Che’s post appears to reference some of the edgier jokes made by roast host Shane Gillis, Tony Hinchcliffe and others. Gillis made jokes mocking Hart’s height that referenced slavery and lynching — the latter quip he admitted required “three weeks of deliberation.” And Hinchcliffe indulged in his fair share of racial humor as well, with one particularly shocking joke about George Floyd that drew backlash online.
Doesn’t he know that one of those writers, Nick Mullen, is gay and Chinese? This is erasure.
These roasts cater to the lowest common denominator, and everything I’ve heard about the Kevin Hart version validates how I feel about it.
There has to be a line drawn somewhere, but it does feel like comedy is getting worse whecit comes to leaning into this offensive, edgelord bullshit. The fact that everyone laughed at a George Floyd joke is just pathetic.
I’ve never really taken the time to watch any of Shane Gillis’ material, but he was so horrendously unfunny during the Kevin Hart roast. I physically recoiled every time he said fuck you to the audience for not laughing, made me want to turn that shit off. Is that what comedy is now? Just fuck you pussies for not laughing at my jokes?
It just seems like every taboo topic was touched and everyone is pointing fingers right now for what was a pretty diverse group of joke deliverers.
From a birds eye you can see just how subjective the word “offensive” is.
Nah, he likes racially charged jokes, he’s said so on the Seth Myer Show. I’m thinking he had an issue with the Deus understandably
Good for him! I agree. The roast was disgusting and cringey.
Whatever your opinion about the roast or the edginess of the jokes, can we all just agree that this format and Shane Gillis are just awful?
Gillis giggling at every one of his own jokes was annoying after about 3 minutes.
Hart doing his own opening stand up routine made no sense.
All the callbacks to Tom Brady’s roast was dumb.
These things used to be fun, but are way too commercialized now and they’re trying to turn them into an awards show-like event.
I LOVE roasts and have a pretty high tolerance for dark and edgy humor, but if you’re going to go there, it better be damn funny. It wasn’t.
Was it in Saudi Arabia?
When Michael Che is iffy on the material you know it’s bad!
Che has a history of projecting his bullshit on other people.
