what is a roast battle and can you give me an example

1 answer

A roast battle is a comedic competition in which two participants take turns delivering humorous, often biting insults, jokes, or "roasts" aimed at each other. The goal is to entertain the audience and showcase wit and creativity, rather than to genuinely offend or hurt feelings. Roasters often draw upon each other's appearance, personality, past experiences, or any notable attributes.

An example of a roast could go as follows:

Roaster A: "You look like a before photo for a gym membership ad."

Roaster B: "At least when I walk into a room, people notice me. You just blend in like an unpaid parking ticket."

In a typical roast battle format, each participant would go back and forth, trying to outdo each other with sharper and funnier jabs. The audience usually decides the winner based on who delivers the better insults and creates a more entertaining experience.
