    to roast

    Sources
    When there's a bunch of people who come together to make fun of a person/celebrity.

    They make a lot of tasteless/raunchy jokes.
    Comment
    Is there both a noun and a verb for this?

    EDIT: Is this it?
    Dictionary: roast so.

    hart mit jmdn. ins Gericht gehen

    Comment
    Meinst du evtl. lästern? Also hinter dem Rücken einer Person schlecht über den/diejenige Reden?

    Jerowski, No ... it's not behind the back. It's a public and sometimes televised event, where the jokes are said directly to the person.
    Do they exist in Germany? I can't think of a name or way to describe it.

    @Dragon, Thanks! That's the roast I'm talking about. I glanced, but didn't see anything conclusive. I'll reread. Do you think the Leo entry is close?

    Ist in diesem Kontext okay im Deutschen.

    Man könnte auch von "jemand (öffentlich) durch den Kakao ziehen" sprechen
    Allerdings gibt es so etwas wie die TV-Roasts m.W. in Deutschland nicht und daher auch kein 100% deckungsgleiches Wort. Unsere Karnevalsveranstaltungen kommen dem teilw. nah, aber keine Ahnung wie es dort bezeichnet wird.

    That would mean "to gossip" in a rather mean way. It can be behind s.o.'s back or while they're present.

    #4 is also fine.
