A fantastic roast is a subtlety: it is razor-sharp to hurt, yet it is ingeniously witty to get a laugh—maybe even the person being roasted would laugh. Best roasts are the ones that blend in perfect proportions humor, timing, and creativity, whether you are joking around with friends, making the comeback of the year, or just enjoying the art of verbal wit. Presented here are 45 meagerly painful roasts that don’t go beyond not-so-harsh territory. Handle with care—better if on people who are not sensitive and can laugh at themselves.
