Online sarcasm turned heavy after Ben Affleck’s surprise appearance at Sunday’s The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady, as the Hollywood actor joined in on the chaotic live roast of the NFL legend. Netflix specifically marketed it as a “live and unedited” special segment during Netflix Joke Fest 2024.
Despite being the actual target of the Brady roast, Ben Affleck became the butt of jokes on social media. After sharing the screen with Brady in the first Dunkin’ Donuts Super Bowl commercial, he seamlessly became part of the new segment of the KIA Forum in Inglewood, California. However, right after his lengthy statement about social media trolls, fans started criticizing him following the tragic outcome.

Taking to social media, fans again reiterated the same ridiculous behavior that Affleck spoke out against in the Netflix program. Most of these comments drew attention to the actor, possibly because he got the new look ahead of schedule.
X/Twitter was flooded with comments from fans criticizing her for “debuting a new suave looking face”. As some of the ridicule focused solely on his face, comments like “Ben Affleck’s face lift looks crazy” and “Ben Affleck is debuting a new suave looking face at the #RoastOfTomBrady” were made. Became a topic of discussion on the internet.
Others drew their attention to his “angry” nature, which people began to attribute to his potentially botched surgical procedure. User @Hmm there wrote, “Ben Affleck couldn’t afford good plastic surgery? No wonder he looks so angry. This is permanent.”
Another X user, @AllisonMaureenZ chimed in with similar sentiments: “I know why we always think Ben Affleck is angry. She’s had too much botox… her face doesn’t move.”
A third netizen wrote, “Ben Affleck is on stage fresh after a face lift,” while a fourth user joked, “What’s going on with Ben Affleck’s face?” He looks Curious George!”

However, from a different perspective, Twitterati were not entirely convinced by Affleck taking a “preachy” stance on internet trolls amid a completely unrelated ongoing Brady roast segment; Some still nodded at his lines “dead to trolls”.
Affleck lost his cool and spit at the haters, “The fans are off your back. You guys out there talking shit, okay, behind your bullshit keyboards, that doesn’t make you a fan, it makes you a B* * Makes Ch.
Someone tweeted: “Ben Affleck bragging about fans on social media at the Tom Brady roast was not in my bingo card.” While some agreed with his claims, others pointed out that it was not necessarily part of the “assignment”. More negative reactions ensued, as netizens branded them as “one of the few low points” of the roast. User @assenavmarie wrote, “Ben Affleck had the worst set of the entire Tom Brady roast, don’t ever invite him back.”
The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady was hosted by Kevin Hart on Netflix. The all-star lineup for the “No Mercy” comedy event included comedians Jeff Ross, Burt Kreischer, Tom Segura, Nikki Glaser, Andrew Schultz and others.
