Comedy Central Roast of Bruce Willis Trailers

Bruce Willis goes from "Die Hard" to dead on arrival as some of the biggest names in entertainment serve up punches of their own to Hollywood's go-to action star. And with Roast Master Joseph Gordon-Levitt at the helm, nobody is leaving the dais unscathed.

Traditional comedy 'roast' where celebrities, comics and friends poke fun at actor Bruce Willis. Comedy Central Roast of Bruce Willis is definitely not bad i'll give you that just for a simple start but it's also just a bunch of A-list celebrities who are friends and family of the 'Die Hard' action hero and basically come in and they start to roast non stop and that gets a bit dumb and boring after a while? It's not like the worst thing that ever happened? But it's recycled humor and recycled humor? It's always the worst kind of humor or at least for the most part. (5/10)

This was by far the weakest comedy central roast. The host JGL, the roasters and the surprise Demi Moore entry failed to impress. The funniest guy was Dom Irrera. Jeff Ross' bit seemed to be abruptly edited. Norton was good to watch. But what the hell were the others doing? Even the audience seemed to be composed of just the Willis daughters and a ton of nobodys.

I gave three stars. One for Dom Irrera, one for Ed Norton, and one for Jeff Ross.To start with - Joseph Gordon-Levitt was an absolute tragedy of a host. Compared to Seth McFarlane for example, he didn't come across as funny. He may be a good actor, but being a host of a roast means more than acting. His act (I even refure to call it his hosting style) was very unnatural and didn't feel funny at all. Nikki Glaser was very weak. She was not bad at Rob Lowe roast, but here it felt like she wants to go the Amy Schumer way - talk about sex and private parts and pretend how funny such talk is.Ed Norton was a nice surprise for me. Yes, he did talk about himself quite a bit. But that delivery had a storyline tied to his friendship with Bruce Willis and therefore justified. It felt very personal - which is how these roasts used to be years ago.It's a shame that Comedy Central Roasts are now more about the star power and less about the actual comedy. People on the dais don't know each other, so it's quite predictable what will they say about each other (who did not expect North Korea being mentioned when Dennis Rodman was there?). With each next roast there are fewer actual comedians so I won't be surprised if next year we will have all A-list celebrity dais. Plus Jeff Ross.

Right from the start, Levitt sets the (unfunny) tone for the show. He can be summed up with just one line. "Joseph Gordon Levitt is to this show what James Franco was to the Oscars."Most of the roasters are not funny at all. Everyone wonders why are they there and I was wondering why am I wasting my time watching this? They don't even know what a "roast" is, some mediocre random jokes is NOT roasting someone.The hour is saved by Edward Norton who does a great job at roasting Willis in a very sarcastic way. His jab at MCU movies and specially The Incredible Hulk may rub some (a lot of) people the wrong way but it was part of roasting Bruce Willis and fit perfectly.Jeff Ross, while being funnier than everyone else, was actually just OK when you think how bad everyone else besides Norton was. If everyone else sucks, then of course you gonna have some OK jokes look great too.All in all, I gave it 5 / 10, thanks to Norton and Ross for saving this otherwise train wreck of a "roast" show. If you are watching on a streaming service, save your time to avoid clingiest jokes and moments and just skip to Edward Norton and Jeff Ross parts.
