Pretty funny, but I cannot help but think that Roy held back when he shouldn’t have and gave too much ground on topics that are still controversial.
I liked Michelle Wolf’s corespondents dinner years ago where she directly roasted the media for not doing their job. Here again we are with a media who is now being punished (libel/slander lawsuits) for not doing their jobs and Roy’s hitting all of the expected targets, rather than putting the media’s feet to the fire. The jokes about Clarence Thomas though were pretty brutal. The Kamala bits did not hit at all for me. Pretty simple stuff and still came across as belittling her.
Like Roy Wood Jr. He was cool and casual. Nothing out of the ordinary here, just a workmanlike appearance.
The audio is always odd at this gig but there were a few jokes that were perfectly good but the crowd gave no love because they were edgy. Butter knife edgy, but yeah.
It was enjoyable!
mhhh nothing too special, a bit disappointing relative to other years.
The Bravo and Vanderpump subreddits are on fire right now.
I just sat here and watched the entire thing. Man, it was pretty good. Respect to Roy Wood Jr, I’m not always a fan of his humor. I am more so now
Now I can accurately define what an NFT is
Everytime I see him I see a younger version of that annoyed guy from the office
“Half of y’all think I’m Kenan Thompson, the other half think I’m Louis Armstrong, President Biden thinks I’m the daddy off Family Matters.” This would’ve killed if he put Louis Armstrong at the end, as it stands it’s just confusing. Makes me wonder if Biden’s team stepped in and said it was one old age joke too many but he goes way harder than this throughout the routine.
Roy should be the new full time host at TDS
Nice to have a President whose ego can handle attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner again.
Excellent. We all have to not take ourselves so seriously and use the power we do have wisely. Criticism of the wealthy makes their self-threat alarms ring. Somehow humor, in its odd self-affirming way, has the assignment of making the audience more charitable when explaining why they have won or lost. Or even better, in helping acknowledge “hard truths” about injustices perpetrated against the powerless. Here’s to humor! Here’s to the court jester who can unveil the truth.
Nice follow-up to his school shooting joke:
*”Don’t groan, pass legislation!”*
NFT 101, well explained – You can see em but is owned by someone, typically a billionaire. Not just a justice, but a lot of politicians. Damn that was good, Trump as an NFT of Putin.
“ don’t groan. Pass legislation.” Was a nice touch.
“Mr. President, we need to get Tucker Carlson back on the air. Right now there are millions of Americans that don’t know why they hate you”
🤣
Nothing beat Stephen Colbert when BUSH II was in the White House.
What was his best burn?
If your election needs the truth, put Dominion in your booth!
Some of the shots on Biden were really not flattering (e.g. https://youtu.be/C5m5dIiJMD0?t=353).
Hilarious
His bit about Crow owning Thomas will be a classic.
I actually laughed out loud. This was hilarious
Excellent job Roy Wood Jr
That NFT bit is God Tier
