Marlon Wayans is currently entangled in a gnarly war of words with Soulja Boy ... but being the comedic veteran, he's the one giving out last laughs at the rapper's expense!!!

TMZ caught up with Marlon in West Hollywood last night and he couldn't resist an impromptu stand-up roast in Soulja Boy's direction.
