Q&A for How to Roast Someone

If someone is emotionally hurt by a joke, then it was probably more of an insult than a joke. Ideally, the roast recipient will take it in stride and be able to laugh at themselves instead of getting upset.

A roast is meant to be laughed at. Usually, people only roast each other when they have a good relationship, and making jokes specific to the person can be a form of bonding. Jokes that are intentionally mean or that put down others aren't really jokes, they're just insults.

If it doesn't make sense and people don't get it, then it's not a good joke. Ignore it or change the subject, or if they keep bringing up how they "got you," roast them back about how their joke was bad (maybe something like "you wouldn't know a good roast if it jumped out of the oven and slapped you across the face").

If it's a good joke and you're not offended by it, you can just laugh along and say something like "haha, you got me" or "you're not wrong!" If you can think of a quick and witty comeback roast, you could roast the other person right back, too.

If she is really your best friend, she wouldn't do this to you. Tell her it's gone too far, you don't appreciate it and ask her to stop.

Roast them so hard that they get new feelings to incinerate with your savage roasts.

Know the person/people well. If your roast is too intellectual, dial it down, or just roast them about their intelligence. Just draw a line between fun and insulting.

If you know them well, this should be easy. Pick on the things that you know about them that others would find funny. If you don't know them well, you will have to pick on the things you can see.

Just think of another one and if they laugh just clean your hands and walk away and be confident.

It's likely sarcasm. Take a break from roasting him to be on the safe side.

Try to take an extra second to really think about it before you say it. Make sure it's the best you can do. If it still comes out wrong, just laugh. Sometimes it's all about being confident.

As a student, roasting someone won't make you look cool. It will attract attention to you. If you wanted to, you can roast popular kids that think they are all that. Only when they are mean to you roast them, and make sure other kids see. The best time is in a crowd or in class.

You can roast or say a joke (can be sarcastic if the person can't take it seriously) that has to with the height and their eye vision or how well they see. In general, don't be insincere or say anything mean.

Yes, but you shouldn't hurt people's feelings, so try to be a respectful savage if you can.

You need to tell the person who is roasting you to stop and tell them you don't like their roasts.

Just try to be confident in order to do this. Make sure that it sounds good and will make him laugh. There is a line between being funny and absolutely mean, so be sure to not cross it.

No, you don't need to roast someone really hard because the person might get offended. You should only roast people that will laugh and not take your roasts seriously.

If this friend is really your friend, she would not criticize you and laugh about it! You can plan revenge on her by doing pranks or roast about something she is sensitive about to break up the relationship. Just search roast jokes and ideas, read roasts articles in this site or just plain old break the relationship if she doesn't stop.

If the bully is mean to you just walk away and tell the teacher so the bully will know not to mess with you.

You can't control what they do. Tell them "That's too far", and if they continue, walk away.

Instead of trying to roast your bully (because bullies crave attention), ignore the bully or tell a trusted adult.

This means they were not happy about the roast. If you care about that, you might offer them an apology.

Yes, that is correct. Jokes should be funny, not hurtful, and everyone should respect that.

Why would you want to do that? Race is a sensitive topic, and people more often than not will be made uncomfortable by it.

You really shouldn't. Roasts are supposed to be between friends. Having a stranger roast you probably wouldn't be very enjoyable.

After you give the person another comeback or two, walk off after a demolishing comment you made. Ignore it when they try to give you a comeback afterward; they will keep trying and make themselves look foolish.

Come up with a relative roast, for example, “Luckily I’m building your grave with stone.”

It’s best to come up with new and original phrases or else it will appear as if you can’t think of anything else to say.

You always need to think about if the roast works with the person you are thinking of roasting. If they don’t understand, then it will be much harder for you to think of something to make up for it.

Have a serious talk with them and tell them they're hurting your feelings. If they're a good friend, they will understand and they will stop. If they don't, you should find some new friends.
