Tom Brady wasn’t one to laugh during a recent comedy special that went viral. Comedians Will Sasso and Chad Kultgen of the “Dudesy” podcast received a cease-and-desist letter from the retired quarterback’s company, TB12, following an hour-long comedy special showcasing an AI-generated version of the sports star on their Patreon.

The viral comedy special, aptly titled “It’s Too Easy: A Simulated Hour-Long Comedy Special,” played an animated version of Brady, 45, telling jokes to an audience.

The AI character was generated using “data from astonishing interviews” of Brady and “hundreds of thousands of hours of stand-up comedy” footage.
