20 Hilarious Examples Of Celebrities Getting Roasted By The Internet
Internet users show no mercy under the umbrella of anonymity.
Don't you just hate those celebrities parading around in their expensive clothes? They just got off their yacht, jumped into their Ferrari, and arrived at the gala wearing an ensemble that could probably feed a couple of families for a month (in some cases, this is literally true; some of them actually wore food as clothes. Yup).
Well, there is a way to get back at them. Now you can roast them online, and you will be hailed and supported by thousands of people who think the same way.
Yes, it is the famous r/rareinsults subreddit. Even though it is dedicated to rare insults (thus the name), celebrity roasts are a big part of it.
Of course, the "insults" have to be funny and intelligent, not just swearing and cursing. The subreddit description says:
"Did you stumble across a unique insult? Looking to spice up your vocabulary? This is the place for you! No hateful insults. Be nice!"
The subreddit, however, doesn't allow any political submissions. This includes mentions of politicians, political commentators, and political movements.
The moderators are probably afraid they would provoke people to cross the line and stop being nice to each other. It's hard to look at politicians' faces and remain civil.
We've chosen some of the most interesting celebrity burns, and we hope you will like them:

The first thing you see when you open up the subreddit is its cover image—the king of hurting people's feelings, chef Gordon Ramsay, and his quote: "You guys cook like old people f**k."
One of the subreddit's moderators, Tycoinator, says that it was their CSS mod who chose to put up those words because "it's pretty f.... funny." We can't argue with that.
"Gordon Ramsay is an exemplary example of someone who is known for their unique and rare insults," Tycoinator said. "Also, he's really handsome, and we all wanted to see his face whenever we opened up the subreddit."14. Such a nice and civil dude.

Even though it may appear ruthless (and mostly is), the subreddit has its limits. Any racist and truly hateful insults are removed by the moderators.
Commonly posted insults and non-rare insults are also a big no-no. The purpose is to have fun, not to be blatantly offensive.
What do you think? Did they succeed?
