14 DAY TRIAL // Justin Bieber is getting roasted on Comedy Central on March 30, and he’s doing his part to show he’s on board with whatever writers, comedians and celebrities have coming at him. The latest teaser for the Roast, embedded below, confirms that.
This is the second ad so far, but it’s the most uncomfortable Bieber has ever been in front of a camera. Of course, the awkwardness is intentional, and the funnier for it.
Starring with The Biebs in the ad is also Jeffrey Ross, one of the writers on the Roast. Since this is a spoof of Bieber’s famous Calvin Klein ad, Ross takes on the role of model Lara Stone - and he makes for an overweight, out of shape and quite gross Lara.
In between manhandling Bieber and interfering with his posing, Ross manages to silently promise a memorable show, one that would be pulling no punches in terms of not wanting to ruffle the Canadian pop star’s feathers.
Considering that Justin has been acting like a major douche (his words, more or less) for almost 2 years now, he deserves it. This Roast is part of a huge image overhaul, which is why he’s been so active in promoting it, including begging Seth Rogen on Twitter to be part of it.
Seth is yet to acknowledge his request in any way.
