AceShowbiz - Pete Davidson delivered one of the most cutting remarks at the recent roast of Kevin Hart, held at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. The event, now streaming on Netflix, featured a barrage of jokes aimed at the comedian and actor, with Pete Davidson emerging as a standout for his ruthless humor targeting multiple figures, including Tony Hinchcliffe, Charlie Kirk, and notably, Kanye West.
The roast, a time-honored and often brutal comedy tradition, saw Kevin Hart endure relentless ribbing, especially about his height. However, the spotlight shifted when Pete Davidson took aim primarily at Tony Hinchcliffe, the host of the Kill Tony stand-up show, who recently sparked controversy for offensive jokes about Puerto Rico during a Donald Trump rally before the 2024 election.
Pete Davidson did not hold back, describing Hinchcliffe as looking like "both a child molester and the doll they gave the child to show where he touched them." He escalated the insult by comparing Hinchcliffe to conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, claiming, "Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he's definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat." This line was met with a mixture of shock and laughter from the audience.
Embracing the crowd’s reaction, Davidson quipped, "Oh, you don't know me? Kill Tony. Please, someone fucking kill, Tony." He then delivered the harshest punchline of the night by referencing his own contentious history with rapper Kanye West. "Tony, nothing you say tonight will hurt my feelings. I was in a beef with Kanye, so I've taken shots from better gay Nazis," he said, alluding to the infamous feud sparked years ago when Davidson dated Kanye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
The roast also featured remarks from other comedians and celebrities who targeted Hart with various jokes. Singer Lizzo joked about their shared experiences with public commentary on their bodies, stating, "Kevin and I are both mocked for our size, and we share that pain. But, I can lose weight, you can't get taller!"
The Rock added a humorous and risqué joke, proclaiming his affection for Hart by saying, "I love you, yes, I do. Just to prove it, just last week, I got a Kevin Hart tattoo on my cock. Yeah, life-size too."
Comedian Katt Williams also took a jab at Hart, poking fun at rumors surrounding his past, saying, "Just because Kevin went to Diddy parties does not mean he did something wrong. The fact that he gets all quiet when you bring it up, that means he did something wrong."
One of the night’s unexpected highlights was the appearance of former NFL quarterback Tom Brady, who had been the subject of the previous Netflix roast in 2024, hosted by Hart. Brady seized the opportunity to fire back at Hart with pointed humor: "Have you even left the Forum, or have you just been here screaming into that mic the last two years waiting for daddy to come home? Well, unlike your real dad, I actually showed up."
The Kevin Hart roast event showcased the raw and often savage nature of celebrity roasts, with Pete Davidson distinguishing himself through his sharply worded, provocative jokes that intertwined personal history and public controversies. His references to Kanye West reminded the audience of ongoing tensions while maintaining the comedic edge expected at such events.
Overall, the roast offered a blend of humor, insult, and surprise appearances, with Kevin Hart enduring the night’s relentless comedic assault while Pete Davidson left a lasting impression with his fearless and unfiltered set.
