The New York Roast Battle Championship has taken the internet by storm with its bold and brazen humor. The video, which has garnered significant attention on Reddit, features roasters hurling stinging insults at each other, leaving viewers in splits.

One standout moment involves a roaster being called a "rat-faced mall kiosk perfume salesman," a jab that resonated well with the audience. Another memorable line was directed at Malia, suggesting that she controls a chef in France by "pulling on his hair," drawing laughs for its clever imagery.

John, another participant, was not spared either. He was humorously questioned about who was left to "trap people at a party into a conversation about stoicism" in his absence. The roast continued with a sharp critique of Malia, comparing her to a student whose grades drop after an affair with a professor, leading to the crude but laugh-inducing line about having "C minus" performance.

A particularly dark joke about John dating white women, who all "look white after the life leaves their body," added a layer of shock humor, while another witty remark likened him to someone with Post-Its sticking out of Mein Kampf.

Audience reactions were mixed. Some appreciated the cleverness of the "Post-Its sticking out of Mein Kampf" joke, though it seemed to fly over many heads. Others felt that the reliance on look-based insults made the roasts repetitive. Comments like "Rat faced mall kiosk perfume salesperson was pretty good" and "The post-its joke did not get the love it deserved" highlighted the varied responses.

Despite some viewers finding the humor lacking, with comments such as "Pretty weak from both" and "Comedy is dead," others found moments of brilliance. The line, "They're all white after the life leaves their body," was described as "chef's kiss" for its sharp wit. However, the overall sentiment from viewers was that the roasters could have been more engaging, with one noting, "Something about them reading their jokes from a phone and notebook took it away from me."

In summary, the New York Roast Battle Championship has sparked a lively debate about the nature of humor and the effectiveness of roast battles. While some viewers were unimpressed, others found the bold insults and dark humor to be precisely what they expected from such an event.

*Rat faced mall kiosk perfume salesperson* was pretty good

he started stronger with the ratatouille stuff, but I think he started to sputter out at the end.

There was definitely a "and you see minus p****" retort joke there somewhere she could have clapped back with 😅

I dunno. Something about them reading their jokes from a phone and notebook took it away from me. They were funny but it didn’t seem engaging.

Wow. They forced a horizontally-filmed video to be watched in a portrait position.

I guess his Ratatouille joke was accurate because "They're all white after the life force leaves their body" is chef's kiss
