Bieber Roast, the trending topic of this week has caught the eye of millions of viewers who were delighted to see no other than the infamous Justin Bieber get verbally destroyed by many well known comedians.

On Monday night, Comedy Central hosted the Bieber Roast, which had been long awaited after Bieber continued to get himself into many dilemmas these past few years. Stars like main host Kevin Hart, Shaquille O’Neal, Martha Stewart, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Hannibal Buress, Jeff Ross, Pete Davidson, Chris D’Elia, Natasha Leggero and even special guest Ron Burgundy all were in attendance to roast Bieber.

This episode attracted a whooping 4.4 million viewers, being the third most-watched show ever for Comedy Central. It was a trending topic all over social media with the hashtag #BieberRoast everywhere. The roast had viewers in delight as Bieber was faced with several brutal insults.

One topic that seemed to be brought up a lot in the roast was Bieber’s past relationship with Selena Gomez. One remark that was made about Selena was, “Selena Gomez wanted to be here, but she’s dating men now. Is it true you dumped her because she grew a mustache before you?”

While each celebrity had their turn of roasting Bieber, viewers couldn’t get enough of the overflowing comedy presented. It brought viewers who either like Bieber or do not like him together to watch things heat up.

As Bieber got burned with numerous jokes referring to his feminine look, past mistakes and relationships, there was an underlying theme to the roast. Bieber needs to start growing up and becoming a role model rather than continuing on the same path he was on, being a bad example. Bieber concluded by shocking viewers with his roast against the other celebrities. His roast even impressed roast master, Kevin Hart, as Hart was standing on top of his chair most the time, uncontrollably laughing.

This TV event may have brought tears of laughter to viewers eyes or caused them to shake their heads; however, following the roast, Bieber took initiative for his mistakes and apologized to the public, promising to make things better and change his ways.
