We admire the bravery of people willing to get roasted on the internet. It’s one thing to have a few friends pick apart your looks, but it’s quite another to have a few thousand strangers mercilessly tear you apart (metaphorically speaking). Regardless, plenty of people love doing it – hence the whole subreddit r/roastme.
We imagine most of them take it with a grain of salt, but who knows, some of these roasts are downright savage. We imagine more than a few regretted their decision. Either that or they learned to laugh at themselves a bit more. Have a look at these 39 roasts to see what you think.
If you’ve ever seen any of the Ice Agefilms, then you’re probably familiar with the character Sid. A ground sloth with a heavy lisp, he’s known for being carefree, friendly, funny, and prone to accidents. What are his siblings like?

Like the woman above, according to the roaster. Considering how charming Sid’s personality is and the fact that sloths get to sleep all day, being a sibling of Sid doesn’t sound bad. However, the “less attractive” part is a little harsh.

Maybe you’ve never seen this guy walking around in real life, but you might have seen him tucked away in the corner of your garden protecting the veggies and flowers. That’s because he looks like a garden gnome.

Those lovable and popular statues are well known for their long white beards, chubby bellies, and disgruntled looks. This guy has got it all – minus the characteristic red hat. We need to pitch in and buy him a red hat so he doesn’t get angrier.

Some people stick out because they have a distinctive physical appearance (they’re tall, have colorful hair, or have multiple face tattoos). Others stick out for the way they talk (they have a very deep voice, a high squeaky one, or a unique accent). Others, however, don’t stick out at all.

That’s harsh (and also funny). It’s not everyone’s job to be loud and noticeable. Some people like to blend into the background, talk as little as possible, and enjoy the food at the family reunion.

Many people spend hours brushing, trimming, and massaging their eyebrows to get just the right look. Some take it further with a bit of threading and waxing. The woman below clearly spent a lot of time getting her eyebrows just right for a roast.

By “just right,” we mean perfect for people to hurl insults at. One Redditor kicked it off with a sarcastic question about buying “Velcro eyebrows.” Another piled atop by answering – at the dollar store discount bin.

Do-it-yourself (or DIY) hacks are all the rage on the internet. Countless websites and videos are dedicated to showing people how to fix broken appliances, upcycle old clothes, and decorate their homes without calling in the (expensive) experts. There is also a budding industry of DIY beauty hacks.

That’s what the roasters focused on. Although we don’t know if the woman above actually did DIY collagen injections, it’s a harsh burn nonetheless. In general, it’s best to keep the cosmetic procedures to the professionals.

Whether or not the guy below wanted to be roasted or “roosted” (take a look at the writing), he got the former. The roast focused on his receding hairline – a condition that usually hits men in their late 30s.

For the guy above, however, it came much earlier. One Redditor honed in on this with a harsh burn – saying the hairline receded away because it wants nothing to do with his face. Ouch! We hope he was able to laugh it off.

If a full picture is worth a thousand words, then a smile is worth at least a few snarky comments. Unfortunately, the woman below learned that the hard way when she cracked a big smile before posting a “roast me” request.

The internet, not known for holding back, immediately jumped up to the challenge by making fun of her gums. They’re more exposed than “an overturned high school desk.” That’s harsh and also disgusting – there’s a lot of half-chewed gum there!

The guy below added a little fuel to the fire before he posted the “roast me” pic to Reddit. Perhaps it was done sincerely, but it’s also likely that it was done to spark the savage responses. The question? Look below.

Reddit was keen to provide reasons why, at 24 years old, he had never had a relationship. Chief among them was his face – it looked like a mashup between actress Lindsey Lohan and actor Jean-Claude van Damme. Maybe that’s it.

Hair trends come and go at a dizzying pace. Sometimes it’s a particular color that’s in, other times it’s a certain style that’s all the rage. For a while, having bright red hair was big – everyone from Rhianna to Bella Thorne to Emma Stone rocked it with ease.

Not everyone can pull it off, though. For example, the woman above. When she volunteered to be roasted, the user Feltz commented that red hair made her look like a stop sign.
