Justin Bieber says sorry!
Updated | By tanstan fourie
I have to admit, I'm not a big Justin Bieber fan. However, that may all change soon.
I've been intently following the build up to the, "Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber," in the US this weekend. And judging from the tweets and reviews that poured out of Sony Pictures Studio in LA on Saturday, it's going to be one heck of a show!
Comedians and celebs berated the 21-year-old singer. This, people, is comedy with no holds barred. In addition to Justin's bad behaviour and criminal records, Selena Gomez, the Kardashians, Ellen and Usher took a beating.
For me though, the best part of the evening was the end. No, I'm not trying to be funny. This was the part of the show when Justin said sorry. Yes, he apologised saying, "I turned a lot of people off over the past few years, but I know I can still turn out good music and turn everything all around."
Over the past year or so, Justin's music has been overshadowed by his offstage antics, which include reckless driving, public urination and throwing eggs at a neighbour's home.
He said, "I've lost some of my best qualities. For that, I am sorry," he said. "I'm looking forward to being someone who you guys can all look at and be proud of." Aaaaawe!
The show is set to premiere March 30. But who's going to wait that long for a glimpse of Justin writhing on the floor with laughter?
So we've compiled a list of the best one-liners from the roast to keep that FOMO at bay.
“Tonight we’re going to give what his parents and the legal system should have done years ago,” host Kevin Hart said. “We’re going to give this boy an ass-whoopin.’”
“Ebola patients hear about ‘Bieber fever’ and say, ‘I’m gonna go ahead and ride this one out.’”
“Selena Gomez wanted to be here, but she’s dating men now,” comedian Jeff Ross joked.
“Is it true you dumped her because she grew a mustache before you?”
“Justin Bieber wants to be black so bad, he’s actually seen Kevin Hart’s movies in theaters,” Ludacris quipped.
“You have it all,” comedian Chris D’Elia said. “Except love, friends, good parents, and a Grammy.”
“They say that you roast the ones you love,” Broad City’s Hannibal Buress said, “but I don’t like you at all, man. I’m just here because it’s a real good opportunity for me.”
“You bought a monkey!” Snoop Dogg said. “I mean, that monkey was more embarrassed than the one that started the AIDS epidemic.”
Ron Burgandy even made a surprise appearance! “This kid has spunk, moxie, and a few other STDs,”
By the end of the night, Bieber was looking a little shaken up.
But he also turned serious at the end of the night, apologizing for his past behavior.
