Everyone loves a good roast. Just ask Jeff Ross.


Jeff Ross is a big-time celebrity who makes heaps of money from his hilarious celebrity roasts. Jeff has led roasts on everyone from Donald Trump to Justin Bieber, and they are so funny, that watching one has caused people to literally go to the hospital after laughing so hard their lungs exploded. Jeff is the undisputed King of Comedy.

Urban Dictionary defines "roast" as:

To humorously mock or humiliate someone with a well-timed joke, diss or comeback.
Noun form: the aforementioned joke, diss or comeback.
See also: sizzle

Roasts are good ol' fashioned fun, but sometimes, they can get ugly. In order to roast someone well and kindly, here's what you gotta do:

1. Find A Target

Got a good buddy with thick skin or maybe someone you hate with thin skin? Get a big group of people, put them all in a room, and then sit your Roast Target down in the front of the room for all to see. It's time to get this party started.

2. Look At Them Closely

When you want to roast someone, one of the first things you should do is just look at them. Stare at them for a while and take note of their appearance. If they have a fault, take note--this will be good material for your friendly, good-natured roast.

3. Talk To Them For 5 Minutes

Talk to them! You gotta know your target before you can properly roast them. Take five minutes to delve deep into their psyche. Figure our what their bad habits, embarrassing anecdotes, and negative attributes are. This will be useful.

4. Use Your Data to Attack Their Biggest Insecurities

Now that you've gathered your information, it's time to ROAST. Take what your target hates about themselves and expose these things in front of your target and large audience full of family, friends, and strangers. Everyone will love it.

5. Wink

Winking is a very playful gesture and it lets your target know that this is all just a big joke between pals. No harm, no foul!

6. Shake Hands

If, by some longshot, your cute lil wink wasn't enough to keep your target's soul from crushing under the weight of painful jokes and insults, there's one thing that will always cheer them up: a firm handshake. Once you finish your roast, you approach your target cautiously, as not to spook them, and then give their hand a gentle, reassuring squeeze. They will immediately understand that you never meant them any harm. This handshake is crucial.

7. Leave

Once you've shaken your target's hand and everyone in the audience is giving you a standing O, your work is officially done. Get on out of there and start looking for your next victim.


And that's how you give someone a nice, good roast! Try these out TODAY (just not on me!)!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
