Actor Will Ferrell dressed up as iconic Anchorman character Ron Burgundy, bringing laughs to viewers and attendees at a live Netflix event where Tom Brady was being roasted in Los Angeles.
Ferrell added a comedic touch during the event, which featured jokes about Brady's ex-wife Gisele Bündchen and his “golden skin.” He humorously targeted Brady's NFL opponent, former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, quipping, “There's no Eli Manning here tonight, right?” That's because Tom is afraid of Eli Manning. '' Ferrell then led the audience in shouting, “Eli Manning made Tom Brady his 'bitch,'' to a mixture of boos and enthusiastic participation.
Ferrell hasn't shied away from making fun of Brady's former Patriots coach, Bill Belichick, offering jabs like, “Hey, Bill, wherever you are, just know that it's Tom, not you.” , playfully nodding about Belichick's current position. “Bill, you are currently unemployed, but good luck with ZipRecruiter.”
Ferrell then introduced Belichick, who also joined in to grill the star QB and his teammates on stage.
Then, later in the night, it was Ben Affleck's turn to grill “GOAT.”
The Oscar winner, known for his love of Dunkin Donuts iced coffee and the New England Patriots, humorously balanced his love life while praising his favorite NFL quarterback.
After taking the stage to a rousing standing ovation from the audience, Affleck began, This is a rather brazen attitude on your part. ”
Affleck's deep love for the Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, and Dunkin Donuts iced coffee (which originated near his hometown of Quincy, Massachusetts) is widely known. Brady, now retired and hailed as one of the greatest players in football, has appeared in a Dunkin' commercial alongside Affleck and his close friend, Oscar winner Matt Damon.
Affleck skewered the Patriots fan base, which has been critical of Brady's career and decisions made throughout the team's franchise. “You guys are not fans. You bitches.
While not full of humor, Affleck threw some funny and sharp jabs at coach Belichick. You work for me, asshole. ”
After Affleck said, “It's white boy humor again,” host Kevin Hart took the stage and roastmaster Jeff Ross said, “This is what I wish Netflix had commercials for.” It's my first time,” he added.
It's a clear nod to a solid three-hour ceremony that had many awkward moments.
Hart then introduced surprise roster member Peyton Manning.
