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!)!

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
