celebrity roast
Comedic tribute mockery
A celebrity roast is an event where a famous person is publicly mocked and insulted by friends, colleagues, and comedians as a form of tribute.
The humor is deliberately crude and personal, but the tone is affectionate—the insults honor the guest of honor by showing they can take a joke.
The Comedy Central roast got brutal, but the honoree laughed through it all.
