RoastMe is a 🏷️#subreddit for humorously mockery or humiliation with a well-timed jokes, disses, or comebacks. The community welcomes people to "hone your roasting skills, meet other roasters, and get yourself roasted! Everybody needs to laugh at themselves! And other people, of course!" [1]
Collin Williams, a standup comedian and one of the 📝Moderators of r/RoastMe, calls it "the largest online comedy roasting community in the world." At its best, r/RoastMe exists in the tradition of the Comedy Central roast or the New York Friars Club. The first rule of r/RoastMe is that the jokes can be pointed and even borderline cruel, but above all, they must be funny, r/RoastMe moderator 📝Robert Allam says. [2]
Reflections
"I helped put together this article about the r/RoastMe community after this journalist reached out, I suggested she interview more than one [moderator] and put her through to our [📝Moderator] team. Then, I suggested she gets roasted herself too; she agreed and her submission got 28k upvotes and 3k+ comments roasting her." ~ 📝Robert Allam, from 📝One Place
