roasted

As Covid-19 cases surge in Texas after what many people are calling a premature reopening, people are still complaining about masks and having to stay home. And there are some even worse people, who despite the call for citizens to stay home, are instead spending their time at restaurants and then having the gall to complain about service. 

Twitter user @jsv4 made himself ripe for roasting and parodies when he decided to criticize the service at Mi Cocina Tex Mex in Allen, Texas.

"@MiCocina_TexMex My wife, date night after 3+ months locked up on quarantine. Waiting for shredded cheese as it's the only way she can eat fajitas. We've asked 4 people, going on 18 minutes now. Just unreal at Allen, TX location. We gotta quit blaming #COVID19 for crappy service."

He paired the text with an image of his wife looking distraught. Distraught over a lack of shredded cheese - an accompaniment that isn't even served with fajitas. Twitter users were quick to call out this male Karen for his blatant disregard for both the pandemic and the servers who really have no choice but to serve entitled individuals who feel its their right to dine out during a national emergency. We've included the best roasts and parodies of the tweet here, but we're willing to bet we'll be seeing more. And we hope the savagery discourages other entitled folks from frivolous dining and cold-hearted complaining.

It looks like rich white celebrities have learned absolutely nothing from the Gal Gadot 'Imagine' video's backlash. While that controversial John Lennon sing-along was about the coronavirus pandemic, today's cringey video is an attempt by actors like Aaron Paul, Stanley Tucci and Julianne Moore to address racism. The video features the actors (and KeSha) "taking responsibility" for their roles in turning a blind eye to racism at home and in the workplace. While the sentiment is hard to argue with, the video is being ridiculed for being a tone deaf performative display of "wokeness." And we have to admit that it's hard to feel moved by rich and privileged actors reading from a script. Though we hope this is the last celebrity video of its kind, it's hard to help being amused by the tweets that mock the clip. And we've put a whole lot of 'em together right here.

Everyone loves a good roast, but @charlee_buns just upped the ante with this incredible thread dedicated to slandering infants. Finally, a safe space for exhausted parents and baby-phobes to commiserate! 

Writer Dana Schwartz found herself the target of a lot of angry South Park fans yesterday after tweeting about the long-running Comedy Central cartoon. Schwartz, who writes for She-Hulk, took to the site to express her feeling that South Park is responsible for many of our cultural ills. 

"In retrospect, it seems impossible to overstate the cultural damage done by SOUTH PARK, the show that portrayed earnestness as the only sin and taught that mockery is the ultimate inoculation against all criticism. Smugness is not the same as intelligence; provocation isn't the same as bravery. The lesser of two evils aren't the same."

Her hot take angered many fans of the controversial show, who quickly began a trolling and roasting campaign in the tweet's replies. While some of the replies went the immature route, others were more thoughtful defenses of the television show and its effect on society. Pretty much all of the tweets were entertaining (especially Schwartz's official response). We've put some of our favorite zingers in this gallery, but you can scroll through more of the drama here.

Old habits die hard, and according to this new Twitter meme, you don't have to be in high school to roast people over music. And what kind of people does Twitter just love to troll and meme? Politicians. The latest victim is Mayor Pete Buttigieg, one of several Democratic candidates vying for the 2020 presidency. 

The meme uses an April 2019 photo of Buttigieg making a radio appearance, but in the last month the photo has been used by Twitter users to mock the dude musically. Folks are pairing the photo of Mayor Pete in lime green headphones with "bad" or absurd artists. It's a low-effort meme, but the site seems to be enjoying them. And Bernie Sanders even makes an appearance in a few iterations. We're not going to pretend that the meme is doing anything revolutionary, but we're having fun with it. It's definitely more creative than people calling each other names!

Well, they literally asked for these brutal roasts.

The Internet Gods have spoken: we have been overdue for another stupid social media privacy hoax. This time around, boomers and the technologically ignorant are concerned about their already non-existent privacy on image-sharing site Instagram.The post claims that deleted photos and messages will be made public unless the "memo" is shared. The message is laughable, but the masses are pretty damn gullible where privacy is concerned. To make matters worse, celebrities and politicians such as Rick Perry (The US Secretary of Energy...) and Usher have been sharing the bogus spam as well. Instagram and Twitter users with a bit more of their wits about them have been using this opportunity to roast their share-happy peers via memes and exasperated tweets - and the results are pretty fricken' funny. 

Reddit'sr/roastme community can be brutal, but these poor souls definitely asked for it!

We love a good roast as much as the next person, and r/RoastMe really never fails to deliver in the schadenfreude department. We've rounded up some of the freshest and funniest roasts from the subreddit so you can mock these masochists without doing any work. You're welcome.

It's no secret that Fox News often gets roasted on the internet - this time they've come under fire for publishing a news headline that reads, "Trump cuts U.S. aid to 3 Mexican countries," which of course signifies a pretty substantial geographical flaw.

They've since apologized for the mistake, but that certainly hasn't stopped the internet from roasting them!

Jimmy's Famous Seafood decided to live on the wild side over the past few days and go completely off the rails with their official business Twitter account. They started out taunting PETA with pics of their food and went on to savagely roast random people who dared comment on the tweets. Whoever's in charge of Jimmy's social media accounts sure was feeling pretty darn sassy!

One of our favorite hobbies is making fun of the wealthy, as you can see from this huge selection of Fyre Fest memes. As mocking the rich goes, though, we have a new hero. Twitter user @ClueHeywood went ham a few weeks ago on Peloton bikes, their absurd advertising, and the people who actually own said bougie bikes. The indoor exercise bicycles cost about $2,000 - a pretty penny, making it low-hanging fruit while roasting the 1%. It's safe to say we'll never own a Peloton, but it's probably more fun to make fun of them than to exercise on 'em. 

The newest scandal involving rapper 21 Savage was arguably more exciting than the Super Bowl on Sunday. If you haven't heard, 21 Savage was arrested on Sunday morning in Atlanta by ICE, with allegations that the rapper is actually a British citizen and is residing illegally in the US. Memers have been relentlessly making fun of 21 Savage, joking that his lyrics seem less...shall we say, foreboding now that we know this information?

Ariana Grande is getting roasted hard for the newest addition to her tattoo collection. On Tuesday, the singer posted a photo on Instagram of the tattoo on her palm, which supposedly reads "seven rings" in Japanese in honor of her latest single of the same name. Only, Japanese speakers on social media started noticing that the tattoo doesn't actually say "seven rings," but rather "Japanese-style barbecue grill" due to a terrible translation fail.

Following the backlash, Grande deleted her Instagram post and attempted to "fix" the tattoo with the help of her Japanese tutor by adding another character and a heart symbol. Unfortunately, this time around the tattoo reads "Japanese barbecue finger <3" which is arguably a lot worse than the original. Might be time to find a better tutor, Ariana. Sigh.

Oh boy, here we go again! We brought you some memes courtesy the measles outbreak in Washington state just the other day, but since then anti-vax groups everywhere have been going wild trying to figure out how to protect their kids from getting the measles. Ironic, isn't it? This woman posted in an anti-vax group wondering the same thing and Facebook commenters did not hold back on their savage sass. Check out some more Anti-Vax comments in groups to be thoroughly entertained.
