If you’ve ever wondered how Tom Brady would fare in the stand-up space, consider this a unique sneak preview.
A generated version of the retired NFL quarterback, 45, “appears” in a new comedy special curated by the artificial intelligence program Dudesy.
“Using data from astonishing interviews with Tom Brady and hundreds of thousands of hours of stand-up comedy footage, I have simulated an hour-long stand-up comedy special,” explains Dudesy, a core component of the artificial intelligence podcast of the same name that features real-life co-hosts, Will Sasso and Chad Kultgen.
Sasso and Kultgen discussed the unsubstantiated rumors about Brady launching a comedy career on their podcast, which is how this experiment came to be.
The first 10 minutes of the special is currently available on YouTube and features an artificial Brady — which sounds eerily similar to the future $375 million voice of Fox Sports — mouthing off jokes about football and dating.
“Anybody on the apps right now? I’m recently single and thinking about getting on them, but here’s the problem. I’ve never been on them, I don’t really know what I’m doing. Someone sent me a message on [the dating app] Bumble. She said, ‘You look just like Tom Brady,’ and I said, ‘I am Tom Brady,’ she said, ‘Prove it,’ so I went to her house and let a little air out of all of her footballs,” the faux Brady said, referencing the Deflategate scandal of 2015.
Brady finalized his divorce from wife Gisele Bündchen in October after 13 years of marriage.
Warning: Graphic language
The seven-time Super Bowl champ, who shares son Benjamin, 13, and daughter Vivian, 10, with the 42-year-old supermodel, happens to be dating again, Page Six exclusively reported last month.
“He’s shopping,” the source said of Brady. “He is out and about.”
Although it’s unclear what the future holds for Brady — both in matters of the heart and comedy — the comedic abilities of his A.I. counterpart have left fans impressed.
“This is absolute gold. The lack of pauses after the punchlines makes it even funnier,” one fan commented on YouTube.
Another expressed, “This is brilliant. Scary that it’s legitimately funny and not totally random madness.”
Kultgen offered a similar sentiment to The Guardian in a recent interview.
“We don’t know how it put that s–t together,” he said.
The full Brady comedy special is available on Dudesy’s Patreon page.
