Don't you just hate those celebrities parading around in their expensive clothes? They just got off their yacht, jumped into their Ferrari, and came to 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 thinking the same.

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 cussing. 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 mention 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 be civil.

We've chosen some of the most interesting celebrity burns, and we hope you will like them:

1. Yes, by a talented 6-year-old.

2. It's not about what you wear, but how you wear it.

3. Interesting outfit. Really brings back gaming memories.

4. Win-win, some would say

5. Figure skating steroid scandal coming up

6. Hey, grandma.

7. You've just ruined the movie for me.

8. You won't be missed, man.

9. That's got to be a big problem. So, the best thing is not to talk

This subreddit was created on Nov 17, 2017, and since then, it has amassed more than 2.1 million members. It's not hard to see what draws people in.

it’s a unique chance to rant about things and insult famous people. What could be better?

Well, maybe being friends with them. But they are out of our reach, so we do the second-best thing in the world!

10. How long do you sleep?

11. Please, you have any clothes for me?

12. How long before they're on to me?

13. That's low...

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 Ramsey 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.

15. Why, Voldemort? You used to be cool.

16. Speak up!

17. Best costume ever!

18. Such is life...

19. And serves his lizard overlords...

20. Positivity matters. You go, Skittles!

Even though it may appear ruthless (and mostly is), the subreddit has its limits. Any racist and really 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 be blatantly offensive.

What do you think? Did they succeed?
