Shorts Review: Sports Friends ‘Brady Goes Off on Gronk’
Spoilers Below
Maybe it’s because I don’t like the Patriots, or maybe it’s because the Giants have already been knocked out of playoff contention, but I just didn’t find this episode of Sports Friends (featuring Pats players Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski) particularly funny.
In it, Brady berated Gronk for messing up a route, making him cry in the process. It unfolded like a cliché fight would, with Gronk expressing his sadness over making a mistake, Brady apologizing for being so harsh, and the two sharing a few chuckles and kind words between them to bring things back to a happy, normal level.
Usually episodes like this that are silly overall, but without any especially big laughs, will have a grand finale or some kind of twist or surprise at the end. This one ended with a joke about Brady being “happy these days as long as my tight ends aren’t murdering people.” Funny, but it wasn’t a funny enough joke for me to expect the credits to roll immediately after it.
I don’t want to bash the episode too much, since it still had an amusing quality to it, but the jokes and dialogue were weak this week, and I can’t help but be a bit disappointed.
Can’t win ‘em all.
Do we know if Hulu will be the only entity to have the dub, or if it will be on other platforms, too? The show in general is definitely going to be on multiple platforms.
