Many people perceive roasting as an act of love. The premise here is that witty, playful teasing among close kin without malicious intent can build trust and signal acceptance.
In the case of strangers online, slightly spicy banter can make for hilariously memorable exchanges. If you’re on the receiving end of epic burns, it can also be good training for not taking yourself too seriously.
So, without further ado, here are some of the best roast exchanges Bored Panda has collected for 2025. A few of these burns are so sick, they may require some ointment.

Husband Of The Year Gets Called Out On His Misogyny

As a woman who has just started my period at 2am and is doubled up with cramps, may this man have explosive diarrhoea every day of his life.
There is often a negative connotation to teasing. But as you can see in the following posts, these banter sessions are not intended to be painful or destructive. Experts describe this as prosocial teasing, which builds trust and affection while testing each other’s boundaries and not going overboard.

Prosocial teasing has its benefits, according to psychology researcher Dr. Peter Gray. For one, it is an expression of acceptance of one’s character by looking at a person’s flaws in a lighthearted manner.
“Teasing can be a playful way of expressing that knowledge (of someone’s strengths and weaknesses) and thereby reinforcing the friendship,” Dr. Gray explained.

I hate how people take the true meaning of Christmas, gift giving, family time, lots of food, and then try and shoehorn Jesus into the holiday.

The fact that christians just renamed the old Yule holiday and now act like it was their invention, shows that the religion is all about believing and none about actual facts. Leave us with our yule tree and yule elves and yule lights and yule feast and we wont complain about your thieving ways in your weird stone worship houses that always smell funky and have awful music and uncomfortable seating (and I wont even start with your priests and children, cause you know about that one).

"Christmas" was, originally, a pagan holiday. The festivals of the Winter Solstice and Saturnalia.
Paw Paw 1 week ago
No. Christmas was chosen for December 25th because the Romans had SOL Invictus - the Feast of the Unconquered SUN on that EXACT date. The Church, in 336 AD, chose that date - right after Saturnalia, a solstice feast - and changed the meaning to the Feast of the Unconquered SON. Just like using OSTARA and changing it to the similar sounding EASTER. Historic FACT. Over the centuries people have associated it with Saturnalia, but the date is the real story. However, I heartily believe in celebrating Yule and/or Saturnalia.

If you want to celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday go right ahead, but to a great many people Chrismas (and Easter, too) is simply a special day to be enjoyed. You probably don't have to work, you may visit with people you like, and you may uses it as an excuse to exchange gifts. What's the problem with that?
Siege Rook 2 weeks ago
The reason for the season is Yule, which was appropriated from the Norse, just as Easter (Eastor) was appropriated from the Celts, by shoehorning Jesus into local native holidays in a blatant effort to override them with Christianity.
Phil Green 2 weeks ago
Christmas was just the Christians subsuming a Pagan holiday and writing "Jesus" all over it. I don't believe in a god either, but we do celebrate in our way; Bucks Fizz for breakfast, a meal of several courses and complexity, spread over several hours, possibly a phone call to people far, far away. Yule and the solstice have nothing to do with Christianity.
Aileen Grist 2 weeks ago
It's Solstice time - when the ancients - who had religion before Jesus turned up from the Middle East (looking a lot like the illegal migrants do), would make lts of noise and light lots of bonfires to encourage the Sun to return. It was the time of the rebirth of the Sun. Also food that would be going off if left much longer was cooked and eaten. A lot of older/younger people would die in the harsh winters of the north, so it could be the last chance to see them. Then it got usurped by Christians, who first tried banning it and then took it over and turned Sun into Son

If your celebration includes a "Christmas tree," then I've got bad news for you. The lighted tree is pagan sympathetic magic to bring on an early Spring. Also, Jesus Christ was not born on December 25th, but the Catholic Church realized that people were used to the midwinter holiday representing rebirth, so they stole it.

Halloween has nothing to do with vampires ! It's an old European tradition to celebrate All Souls, i.e. honouring the dear departed. You can believe in God and not celebrate Christmas, as do Muslims and Jews, etc.

Christmas is a celebration. Believing in God should not be triggering for anyone who feels whole. Somehow both Atheists and Christians want to be "Special". Instead be kind.

What Is The Obsession With Us Needing Them?
Nathaniel He/Him Cis-Het 2 weeks ago
In a survival situation what can men do that women cannot? I'd say both are in trouble unless survival skills have been learnt. And specific genitals are not required to learn such skills.
Playful jabs are also a way to deflate egos. According to Dr. Gray, these banters are also a way of reminding someone of their flaws, which keeps them grounded. This may be especially true when dealing with someone who appears arrogant.
As Dr. Gray explained, everyone has their moments of arrogance, and light teasing can help bring that person back to reality.

Studies have also shown that roasting a romantic partner may be healthy for the relationship. It primarily argues that humor is integral to strengthening connections. According to the findings, women reported more satisfaction in their relationships when their partners could make fun of themselves.
"Earlier studies have shown that people are looking for a partner with a sense of humour and who enjoys a laugh," said psychology professor René Proyer, who was one of the researchers.

I know. The castle (chateau) in our town was constructed in 1137 and then rebuilt in 1308.
However, the researchers also offered a caveat: crossing that thin line between playful roasting and ridicule – especially when doing so to others – can strain relationships.
"These three characteristics are personality traits that can occur at the same time, to varying degrees and in different combinations,” Proyer explained. “They can range, for example, from making harmless jokes to ridiculing others. All of these characteristics are normal, up to a certain point.”
