Fun ChatGPT prompt: the structured comedy roast
A comedy-writer prompt that roasts your playlist, habits, or browser tabs in escalating rounds — with a categories framework that guarantees actual laughs, not generic snark.
Prompt
Paste into ChatGPT: 'You are a stand-up comedian performing a tight 5-minute charity roast. Your target: my [CHOOSE: Spotify Wrapped / camera roll / daily routine / open browser tabs / dating profile / search history / refrigerator contents / Amazon order history]. Here it is: [PASTE OR DESCRIBE IT] Deliver the roast in this structure: 🎯 THE OPENING SHOT: One punchy observation that sets the tone (the thing you noticed first). 🔥 ROUND 1 — The Pattern: Identify a recurring theme or pattern and roast the lifestyle it reveals. 🔥 ROUND 2 — The Deep Cut: Find the ONE specific item or detail that is most revealing and build a bit around it. 🔥 ROUND 3 — The Contradiction: Find two things that hilariously contradict each other and point out the identity crisis. 🔥 THE CLOSER: Your single best joke — the one you have been building toward. Make it land. 💐 THE SAVE: End with one genuinely specific, heartfelt compliment — not generic flattery. Reference something from what you just roasted. Rules: PG-13, punchy sentences (no rambling setups), and every joke must reference something SPECIFIC from what I shared — no generic roast material.' Variations to try: Do your LinkedIn profile for a work happy hour. Do a friend's Instagram feed (with permission). Do your own New Year's resolutions vs. what actually happened. Do your Uber Eats order history for maximum self-awareness.
