Because we hope you spent your weekend not caring about anything other than what time happy hour starts, we’re bringing you our Pop Culture Roundup. Your one and only stop for the top pop culture moments from this weekend that will get you through your mid-day Monday slump. It’s like cold brew for the soul. This weekend, the only thing anyone’s really talking about is Netflix’s The Roast of Tom Brady. Let’s get into it.
Kim took the stage at The Roast of Tom Brady on Sunday night and got boo’d…. like, really, really boo’d. The sound was kind of deafening and embarrassing. Kim barely flinched (at least on the outside), which deserves a standing ovation on its own. Kim went into her jokes, making fun of the rumos she and Tom are dating: “Speaking of Tom and I dating, I know there were some rumors that we were and I’d never say if we did or not, I’d just release the tape.” She also compared Tom to Caitlyn Jenner: “But I do know it would never work out. An ex-athlete, high cheek bones, slinky hair — you remind me too much of my stepdad now. Part of me thinks you would try to undress me, just to try on my clothes. I know the transition from the NFL must have been really hard, but I think my stepdad is a great example from you. She’s one of the greatest athletes in the world who’s proved you can do anything in this next chapter. You can become a commentator, a far right Republican, or even a strong, confident woman” By the end of her set, the audience was cheering. Naturally. I know Kim’s controversial right now (Aimee!!!), but credit where credit is due.
During the Roast, Tom got, well, roasted for his divorce from Gisele Bundchen. Kevin Hart said “Gisele gave you an ultimatum. She said you have to retire or you’re done. But when you have a chance to go 8-9 you gotta do it.” He also joked that Tom “fucked” coach Bill Belichick by leaving the New England Patriots for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “You fucked him good. You did, Tom, you fucked your coach, but let me tell you something people … that’s what you’ve got to do to maintain your happiness. You sometimes got to fuck your coach. You know who else fucked their coach? Gisele. She fucked that karate man.” Ohp! Then… things got kinda dark when Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer showed Photoshopped picture of Hitler with Tom, saying, “The only difference between Tom Brady and Hitler is that Hitler stuck with his wife until the end.” Then Julian Edelman said… “When your wife left, I thought about getting rid my beard too.” Ohp, again! Tom ended by poking fun at the situation himself, saying: “There have been a lot of jokes tonight, but I miss the love of my life … football.” Good sport!

Because no pop culture event can happen without mention of Taylor Swift, Tom did his part. He took jabs at a bunch of football fanbases, and when he got to the Chiefs, he said: “Kansas City, you say your stadium is the loudest? It helps when all your fans are 14-year-old girls. And in honor of Tay Tay, let’s take a look at the Chiefs’ eras. Terrible for 50 years, good for five. Shake it off.” Meh. Kind of uninspired if you ask me.
