Why does Family Guy roast people? ๐Ÿ˜


(The Sawyer) Every country roasted on Family Guy

Sit right here, sir. You're going to love it.
A "roast" is a form of insult comedy, originating in American humor, in which specific individuals, the guests of honor, are subjected to jokes at their expense, followed by genuine praise and tributes.

The assumption is that the roastee can take the jokes in good humor and not as serious criticism or insult and so avoids offense as the audience vicariously relieves steam and tension by seeing the truth exposed in a nonthreatening manner.
What kind of planet is this? A mean one (CGI)
The individual roastee is surrounded by friends, fans, and well-wishers, who can receive some of the same treatment during the evening.

The host of the event is called the roastmaster, since it rhymes with and plays on the term toastmaster.

Anyone mocked in such a way is said to have been "roasted."

There is a parallel tradition in some countries in which the host of formal events, such as award ceremonies and annual dinners, is expected to good-naturedly mock the event's attendees. In some cases, this has caused controversy when the host is seen as being too insulting [1,2] or accurate. More

Why are standup comedians so mean?

(SNL) Colin Jost, who is married to Scarlett Johansson, does 12 minutes on wife with Michael Che
That smarty is married to that hottie?
(The Unfiltered Mic) Bill Burr, brother of Willy Organ (Billy Corgan) of the Smashing Pumpkins

Brothers? But we look nothing alike, Howie!
In a controversial January 2025 podcast by neurotic Jewish impresario Howie Mandel, Bill Burr publicly addressed Billy Corgan's claim that they are brothers or half-brothers of their mutual degenerate father, Bill. Bill Burr criticized Mandel for this gotcha moment, ambushing and humiliating him by bringing out Bill Corgan live on air to discuss their sensitive family issue.

Howie: I love ratings, guys, sorry.
Billy C claims that he had been told that Billy B had been informed that he would be coming out on the show, which he had never done in public in spite of all the lurid speculation of their family's sex life. Bill B alleges that muckraker Mandel is "rude" to be chasing "ratings" with such a stunt, stating that a podcast is not the appropriate venue for the independently famous "Bill Brothers" to meet and face off about so sensitive an issue as paternity. Mandel left the room. Amid jokes, Bill B and Bill C [know they] "have the same father" and say of this father: "The fact that he said he can't sing, I think that sort of disproves that we're related" ("Bill Burr, Billy Corgan address whether they're half-brothers," Brendan Morrow, USA TODAY, retrieved August 10, 2026 [114]).

Man learns every language, even Ape


Greatest hits: I surprise strangers in every language (even Ape)
Xiaomanyc ๅฐ้ฉฌๅœจ็บฝ็บฆ(Xiaomanyc ๅฐ้ฉฌๅœจ็บฝ็บฆ) Arieh Smith spent years studying human communication (languages) and weeks secretly studying to communicate with apes in Ape: Bonobos are the closest living relatives of human beings, and he convinced them into thinking he was one of them. Bonobos have learned to use human language, but it is very rare for a human being to effectively communicate with them on their own terms (bonobo vocalizations).

Speaking to apes in Ape
  • Support Ape Initiative (apeinitiative.org), a non-profit that is the world’s only bonobo research center, because they are an endangered species. Ape Initiative works with scientists to understand bonobo behavior and ensure their survival in the wild. Donate:

ABOUT
: I'm "Xiaoma" from NYC, real name Arieh Smith. I speak near-native level Mandarin Chinese and a smattering of some other Chinese dialects, enough to be dangerous. I speak Chinese well enough to regularly confuse the native speakers, including my own in-laws. I got fluent in Spanish in my apartment during quarantine. The thing is it didn’t start this way. I was a real language idiot in high school, not failing classes, but it was in one ear, out the other. I took Hebrew, Latin, and Greek classes, but every year I felt like I was learning the same thing over and over again. I kept thinking to myself, I wonder when any of this is going to stick. More

    : The "Holocaust" is a Greek term that means "a burnt offering": Holocaust (sacrifice) [presumably to Molech, Baal, or some other genocidal Jewish Israeli God such as Yahweh, Jehovah, El], sorcery, idolatry, human sacrifice; see Talmud (Joshua Christ, Yeshua Cristos, Jesus...failed Messiah)
  • Zionist Israeli government told liberal Jews from the Oct. 7th kibbutz near the wall/border with Palestine to have a rave to get them killed during the attack they knew was coming (since it had been planned and practiced for over a year); this was part of the plan to give Eretz Israel a pretext to attack Gaza
  • We didn't learn this in Holocaust Studies: "A holocaust is a religious animal sacrifice that is completely consumed by fire, also known as a burnt offering. The word derives from the ancient Greek holokaustos, the form of sacrifice in which the victim was reduced to ash, as distinguished from an animal sacrifice that resulted in a [blood soaked] communal meal. The Greek holocausts were apotropaic rituals, intended to appease the spirits of the Greek Underworld...
