burn

Jimmy Fallon asked various Twitter users to share their favorite burns. The resulting wave of tweets is a shockwave of pure savagery. People can get really mean and creative with their words when you give them enough time to drop that rare insult.

When people ask to get roasted, they're baring themselves and their appearance to the whirling cogs of internet bitterness. People know that no punches will be pulled in order to achieve a sweet burn. The internet is a system built perfectly for facilitating sweet clapbacks, slams and times for people to meet ruination by words.

Nobody expects you to be a great cook right off the bat. But there is a general understanding that you shouldn't be so bad that you literally explode your kitchen. Here are some embarrassing failures that probably ended in a call for fast food or the hospital.

These folks burned themselves like a child touching a stove.

These mean tweets laid it all out there!

These illustrated roasts take the art of roasting to an entirely new level. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of one of these.

Somebody call the fire department so they can come watch.

Sometimes you are your own comeback.

These fast food chains and toiletry companies have had enough of your BS and they are going to call you on it.

Social media gives a lot of people a place to express themselves, and it gives even more people a place to destroy that first group of people with sweet comebacks. Please get some ice. The burn ward is full.

These solid burns surely left their targets roasted. 

These epically brutal roasts didn't hold anything back.

These roasts didn't hold back!

These brutal roasts certainly didn't hold back and left their targets burned to a crisp. 

These roasts didn't hold back!
