Cringeworthy and quite bad. Very unexpected for Jeff Ross


Jeff Ross is a pretty killer roaster. Over the years he's been on almost all Celebrity Roasts and has actually had several funny and amazing moments. The Bruce Willis roast was wickedly good and enjoyable. Everyone expected him to deliver and he did.

Historical Roasts is interesting as a concept but the whole thing was very cringeworthy. I watched the Lincoln one which seemed very off and even the audience there did not feel it. The jokes and situations seemed forced and no one was laughing as much nor clapping as much.
It was some forced clapping to keep it going.
Natasha was very cringeworthy

Jeff Ross took this way too seriously and tried to knock it out of the next park. Sadly he was in a different park so obviously it's a dud.

Lame attempt that falls flat. Probably will be canceled soon.

Rap battles of history already did this and it was hilarious.

The thing is, if you wanna do this, make sure it's funny, it's wasn't funny... Jeff Ross will probably complain and call people SJW's for being "offended" by the jokes like with the Anne Frank and Hitler roast. I can take a Anne Frank, i'm Dutch myself, but at least make it a good joke. Just saying, "you always be my little number 82506” isn't that funny.

I have seen Jeff Ross' stand up a few times in person and he is pretty bad. He really is good at the roasts but it's only one or two shows a year at CC and the FC. Even the live random roasts are not very good, he needs time to write his material.

oh man i had a blast when he came to the Winstar Casino in Oklahoma. But maybe its because he was also with Dave Attell for the bumping mics tour. they brought multiple audience members on stage and had a great time roasting them. they are good together.
