15 Roast Jokes For The Hall Of Fame

When a Roaster knows what they’re doing, there’s nothing better. The jokes have to be the perfect mix of funny and mean, or an ironic play on that idea all together. Here are 15 Roast jokes and bits for the comedy hall of fame.

15 Shaquille O’Neal on Jeff Ross

Short and Sweet, unlike Shaq.

"Look at Jeff. Jeff got a body like a cafeteria lady.”

14 Martha Stewart Justin Beiber

“Let’s get to the reason I’m here tonight which is to give Justin Bieber some tips to use when he inevitably ends up in prison. I’ve been in lockup and you wouldn’t last a week, so pay attention. The first thing you’ll need is a shank. I made mine out of a pin tail comb and a pack of gum. It’s so simple. I found Bubbalicious works best and it’s so much fun to say."

13 Jeff Ross on Jonah Hill

“When Quentin Tarantino told Jonah he wanted him to be in a spaghetti western, Jonah was like, ‘you had me at spaghetti.'”

Followed by Jonah crying from laughter on the sidelines.
