Roast Time Is Here You already know what it is. Holidays are here. Cold breeze coming in, and it’s just that time to crank up the oven for that good ol’ shady pot roast. That’s right, time to name some of the best roasters that ever hit the game. (A special warm up. Just in time for Aunt Judy’s way-too personal questions.) I’m giving you my favorite roasters that I will be re-watching this season, as they inspire me to handout these clap backs: All. Year. Round.
Classy Claps: Geoffery — Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
First up, let’s talk about Geoffery from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Straight from Oxford to the Banks, this man keeps his claps fresh and so clean clean. His cynicism, inspirational. Sometimes it wasn’t even a roast, it was just genuine shade from the other side of the mansion. I loved how in each episode I felt Geoffery so much, I heard a sarcastic remark coming even if I didn’t watch that specific episode. Impeccable timing, always. Hillary: “Geoffrey, what do you know about wine?” Geoffrey: “I know no one does it better than you, Miss Hillary.” When Will came out with the honeys? Geoffery was in the room sipping tea, awaiting his time to shine. Whenever Hillary said something that made her light bulb look kinda dim, Geoffery’s lamp was always flickering bright. If you want to show off that “classy” shade — the kind of clapback where you take a swig of wine before you cast an eclipse — then Geoffery is the Clapback King for you.
