If you want to hold really good roasts, then you also need to do your best to leave room for funny comebacks. The best roasts involve a dialogue between everybody involved. Snarky comebacks and quips make sure everybody involved has a good laugh.

It’s always important to remember that the best insults are spoken in good taste and that while they may sound aggressive and confrontational, the best roasts are held in fun and jest.
