Tom Brady may have been able to take a lot during his celebrity roast on Netflix, but it looks like there was one moment that crossed the line for the NFL star
The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady special on Netflix proved to be an outstanding success. From Kevin Hart to Tony Hinchcliffe, some of the great comedian’s in the US took to the stage to make the 46-year-old former quarterback sweat and squirm in his seat.
…And Kim Kardashian was there.
However, among all the jokes and laughs from the evening, there was one moment that saw Brady leave his seat, leaving viewers to believe that a line had been crossed. Check it out below:
The joke in question saw comedian Jeff Ross poke fun at a then-rookie Brady being picked 199th overall in the NFL Draft, adding that the quarterback then walked into the officer of Patriots owner Robert Kraft and told him: “I’m the best decision your organization has ever made.”
However, after the audience erupted into applause, Ross then delivered the punchline: “Would you like a massage?”
This was a reference to Kraft’s 2019 arrest for soliciting prostitution in a Florida massage parlor. Despite the charges eventually being dropped the following year, the controversy made headlines around the world.
After delivering the joke, Brady left his seat and approached Ross at the podium, where he could be heard saying: "Don't say that s**t again." Now, Brady did have a smile on his face as he said this, so he was probably just going along with the joke.
However, viewers had mixed feelings over the moment, as they took to X to share their thoughts.
“Tom Brady was NOT happy about Jeff Ross’s massage joke,” one person tweeted.
A second added: “2 min in, Jeff Ross made Tom Brady try to stop jeffs jokes on Robert Kraft. He Broke the 1st rule of Roasting. Don’t be a pussy and cry after the joke.”
“Tom Brady wasn't a fan of this Robert Kraft joke,” a third tweeted. “Felt like a near Will Smith moment.”
And this viewer agreed, writing: “Tom Brady was NOT happy about Jeff Ross’s massage joke referring to Robert Kraft. We almost had a Will Smith Moment.”
A fifth wrote: “Tom Brady is P***ED OFF after roaster Jeff Ross made a massage joke regarding owner Robert Kraft.”
What did you think of Ross' joke? Too harsh for a roast or did Brady just need to relax a little?
The Roast of Tom Brady is now available to stream on Netflix.

In the comedic realm of roasts, Jeff Ross is known as the "Roastmaster General" for a reason.
The sharp-tongued 58-year-old comedian can have any celeb squirming in their seat, as we saw during The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady.
However, one viral moment that got viewers talking was when Brady actually left his chair to confront Ross over a particular joke aimed at New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
Now, Ross has shed some light on that awkward moment and shared his thoughts about why he believes Brady felt the need to say something.
During the Netflix comedy special, Ross took aim at Kraft with a playful jab, in which he recounted a fictional scenario of a rookie Brady storming into the Patriots CEO's office after being picked 199th overall in the NFL Draft.
Ross recalled how a young Brady told Kraft: “I’m the best decision your organization has ever made.”
However, after the audience had erupted into applause, Ross then delivered the punchline: “Would you like a massage?”
The joke alluded to an incident in 2019 when Kraft faced allegations of soliciting prostitution at a massage parlor in Florida.
Despite the crowd bursting into laughter, the moment took a surprising turn when Brady rose from his seat and delivered a stern message to Ross: "Don't say that sh** again." The unexpected reaction sparked curiosity and conversation about Brady's response.
Now, Brady did have a smile on his face as he said this, so he most likely saw the funny side, but wanted Ross to know that Kraft was off-limits.
Reflecting on the viral moment during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Ross offered his perspective on the moment, dismissing any notion of tension between him and Brady.
Instead, he portrayed Brady's reaction as a playful interaction, emphasizing the strong bond between Brady and Kraft, whom he considers a father figure.
“Robert Kraft is like a father figure to him," Ross said. "He was just showing his love for Robert Kraft."
According to Ross, Kraft appreciated the shoutout, as Ross revealed: "Robert Kraft loved it. We had a great talk afterward. He was so happy that I gave him a shoutout and a salute. It was beautiful."
Furthermore, Ross highlighted Brady's enthusiasm for roasts, describing him as a dedicated follower and participant in the comedic tradition.
The comedian revealed that he and Brady had been in talks for years before reaching an agreement to film the special following the NFL star's second retirement.

It looks like Ben Affleck should just stick to acting after his guest appearance at The Roast of Tom Brady was - ironically - roasted by viewers.
Following the live stream and subsequent release of Netflix's comedy special The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady, viewers have been left dissecting the chaos of the evening.
From Brady telling Jeff Ross not to joke about Patriots' boss Robert Kraft to Kim Kardashian getting mercilessly booed by the live crowd, it was a night full of laughs and unexpected surprises.
And one moment that certainly was an unexpected surprise - although, not full of laughs - was when 51-year-old Affleck took to the stage.
The Batman star may have missed the memo when it came to “roasts”, because the majority of his seven-minute set was just him criticizing trolls on social media. (Now, while I think we can all agree that “keyboard warriors” are the worst part of social media, many viewers just felt like Tom Brady’s roast wasn’t the time or place to address the situation.)
Check out a snippet below (Warning - the video does contain some strong language):
Much of Affleck’s material was targeted toward a critical social media user, with the actor saying: "Meanwhile, Tom and all these guys up here, you always hear them say, 'It's all about the fans. We do it for the fans.' Well, let me let you in on a little secret… Tom could do it without you!"
“You're talking sh*t behind your AOL account in suburban Buffalo [...] [Brady] has seven rings. You took seven years to get your GED,” Affleck continued. “This is the NFL! You'd be in the f*cking hospital if you stepped on the field for one play!”
And Affleck went on (and on): “"You sit there, f*cking hiding behind your keyboard, spewing out all this f*cking toxic sh*t about people you'd be afraid to come up to if you saw them at the car wash [...] You guys out there talking sh*t, all right behind your f*cking keyboard, that doesn't make you a fan. That makes you a b*tch."
It was a rather venom-filled stumbling monologue that felt more spurred on by Affleck’s own issues with social media trolls than anything to do with Brady.
And viewers couldn’t help but agree, as some even branded the actor’s set the “worst of the night”.

One X user wrote: “I don’t think Ben Affleck understood the assignment…”
“Ben Affleck going on an unhinged rant about fans on social media at the Tom Brady roast was not on my bingo card,” another added.
“Ben Affleck had the worst set of the entire Tom Brady roast, never invite him back,” tweeted a third.
“Ben Affleck just absolutely bombed on the Tom Brady roast,” another wrote. “Jeff Ross said he wished there was commercials after his set [...] he literally went up and cried about fans talking s**t on social media for 5 minutes.”
"What is Ben Affleck going on about? This is terrible," another disappointed viewer added.
Again, I'm not saying that I don't agree with what Affleck was saying, but when Kim Kardashian is delivering better jokes than Batman at a celebrity roast, you know something's gone wrong.

Tom Brady may have been the main target during his celebrity roast, but it was perhaps Kim Kardashian who had the worst night of all.
During the highly-anticipated The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady special on Netflix, a stream of stars took to the podium to mercilessly mock the former quarterback.
From Kevin Hart to Jeff Ross, some of the biggest names and sharpest tongues in comedy were on hand to make the 46-year-old NFL legend squirm in his seat.
…And Kim Kardashian was there.

Yes, keeping up with the tradition of having big-name non-comedians at celebrity roasts, the 43-year-old reality TV star and business mogul took to the stage in an attempt to deliver her best comedy routine about friend Tom Brady.
But you’d be forgiven for saying that you didn’t hear a word Kim said as she was SAVAGELY booed by the live audience from the moment she stepped up to the mic. Check out the moment below:
As those in attendance at the LA Kia Forum in Inglewood made their voices heard, Kim attempted to get things back on track by making a joke about host Kevin Hart’s height.
But the boos only continued to get louder, and Kim was forced to tell the crowd: “Alright, alright, alright.”
Hart could be heard off-screen attempting to calm the crowd by repeating: “Woah, woah, whoa!”
The SKIMS founder did get in some decent quips during her set. Referencing past rumors of being romantically involved with Brady, she said: “I know there were some rumors that we were, and I’d never say if we did or not… I’d just release a tape”. (If you don’t get that one, maybe it’s best you don’t google it.)
She even compared Brady to Caitlyn Jenner by joking: “I do know it would've never worked out. An ex-athlete, high cheekbones, silky hair… you remind me too much of my stepdad now.”
But Kim’s unfortunate night didn’t end there.
When Tony Hinchcliffe took the mic, and made a reference to the Anchorman movie, he then took a shot at Kardashian by saying: “‘A whale's vagina’. Which reminds me, Kim Kardashian's here - she's had a lot of Black Men celebrate in her end zone.
“Kim, word of advice, close your legs, you have more public beef than Kendrick and Drake.”
However, when eventually Brady took to the stage at the end of the night to return the favor and take shots at his celebrity roasters, he delivered what was perhaps the most brutal joke of the evening.
“I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight… not because of this but because her kids are at home with their dad,” Brady said, referring to Kim’s tumultuous relationship with ex-husband Kanye West.
Nevertheless, I think you’ve got to admire Kim to be able to sit there and take all those shots. Whether you like her or hate her, she’s certainly got some thick skin!

After Kim Kardashian was mercilessly booed at Tom Brady's roast, Netflix has taken it upon themselves to edit it out.
On a night dedicated to roasting NFL legend Tom Brady, it was reality TV star Kim Kardashian who found herself at the center of attention.
Taking the podium in an attempt to deliver her comedic best, Kardashian faced an unforgiving live audience at the LA Kia Forum in Inglewood. Watch Kim get booed below:
From the moment she stepped up, it was evident that the crowd was not on her side - and boy, did they show it.
Despite valiant efforts to regain control, including a jab at Hart's height, Kardashian was met with resounding boos, prompting her to acknowledge the hostile reception with a resigned, "Alright, alright, alright."
.jpg_4krxGH?tr=cr-0.0.1.0.67,f-webp,q-70,w-1024)
Off-screen, Hart intervened, trying to quell the crowd's unrest with repeated calls of, "Woah, woah, whoa!"
Undeterred, Kardashian managed to land a few zingers at Brady's (and her own) expense, including one where she said: "I know there were some rumors that we were, and I’d never say if we did or not… I’d just release a tape."
People took to social media to express their shock at the boos, with one person saying: "Holy s*** like half the audience at the Tom Brady roast just mercilessly booed Kim Kardashian to the point where she had to stop and acknowledge it."
Someone else said: "OMG, they booed Kim Kardashian so bad. That was embarrassing. Audience only stopped because Kevin asked them to stop."
However, the evening took a further downturn when comedian Tony Hinchcliffe directed a particularly biting remark at her expense, saying: "A whale's vagina’. Which reminds me, Kim Kardashian's here - she's had a lot of Black Men celebrate in her end zone."
“Kim, word of advice, close your legs, you have more public beef than Kendrick and Drake.”
Yikes.
Netflix, responding to the controversy, has since edited out the booing from the final version of the show available for streaming, accompanied by a disclaimer indicating the alteration. "Edited from a previous live stream," the message reads.
In the revised edit, Kardashian is seen confidently delivering her jokes without any discernible negative reaction from the audience.
As the night drew to a close, Brady himself delivered what many deemed the most brutal joke of the evening, alluding to Kardashian's personal life with ex-husband Kanye West.
"I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight… not because of this but because her kids are at home with their dad," he said.
