Roasts & Burns (use with consent)
5 promptsRoast my Spotify Wrapped
1/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes a 4-6 sentence roast of your top songs [List 5 songs], specific and a little mean even if the taste is good. Paste the real five, then share the roast only with people who asked for it.
Roast me based on my top 5 most-played songs of the year: [List 5 songs]. Be specific, mean, and accurate. Acknowledge if my taste is genuinely good but find the cringe anyway. 4-6 sentences.
Pro tip: Pre-2024 ChatGPT was too polite. Modern versions roast harder if you give explicit permission. Add "do not pull punches" if it softens.
Roast a tech startup pitch
2/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT roasts elevator pitch [Paste pitch in 2-3 sentences] like a tired VC, calling out derivative buzzwords in 5-7 sentences. Paste the real pitch, then keep the jokes that are also accurate.
Here is the elevator pitch for a startup: [Paste pitch in 2-3 sentences]. Roast it like a VC who has heard 4,000 pitches and is no longer pretending to be nice. Identify the specific buzzwords that gave it away as derivative. 5-7 sentences.
Pro tip: Send the roast to the founder. If they laugh, they're self-aware. If they get defensive, that's the bigger insight.
Roast my LinkedIn bio
3/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT roasts LinkedIn bio [Paste bio] for corporate buzzwords, unbacked claims, and the gap between the bio and the job. Paste your live bio, then cut any line that is only mean and not useful.
Roast this LinkedIn bio: [Paste bio]. Focus on: corporate buzzwords I am hiding behind, claims I cannot back up, the gap between what I describe and what I probably actually do. 5-7 sentences.
Pro tip: Run this on your own bio before letting a friend roast you. The roast will surface what you need to rewrite.
Roast my apartment based on a photo description
4/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT roasts your apartment from description [Describe your apartment honestly], pointing at the choices that give you away. Describe it truthfully, then laugh at the hits you recognize.
I will describe my apartment in 5 sentences. Roast it based on the description: [Describe your apartment honestly]. Be specific about the choices that reveal too much about me.
Pro tip: IKEA reveals one thing. Empty walls another. The roast is most effective when ChatGPT identifies the pattern you have been pretending not to see.
Roast my coffee order
5/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT roasts coffee order [Order] as a personality read, guessing your music and the meetings you are late to, in 4-6 sentences. Type the real order, then read it as a joke, not a diagnosis.
My usual coffee order is: [Order]. Roast me based on this single data point. Make assumptions about my personality, my Spotify taste, what kind of meetings I am late to. 4-6 sentences.
Pro tip: A 5-pump white mocha tells ChatGPT everything. A black drip with one sugar tells it something else. Both deserve roasting.
Absurd Debates & Hypotheticals
5 promptsTwo cereals debate consciousness
6/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes a 10-line dialogue where Frosted Flakes and Cheerios debate cereal consciousness, ending on a small breakthrough. Read it aloud, or ask for a second ending if the last line falls flat.
Write a 10-line dialogue between Frosted Flakes and Cheerios debating whether cereals are conscious beings. Tony the Tiger is overconfident. Cheerios is anxious and reads philosophy. End with one of them having a small breakthrough.
Pro tip: Specify character traits ("anxious," "overconfident"). Generic cereals are boring; characterized cereals are funny.
Court trial: who took the last slice
7/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes a courtroom scene about the last slice of birthday cake, with five office defenses and a verdict the judge takes seriously. Cast your office in the roles, then share the verdict in the group chat.
Write a courtroom scene where 5 office workers are on trial for taking the last slice of birthday cake from the breakroom. The judge takes it extremely seriously. Each defendant has a different defense (alibi, conspiracy theory, partial confession, indignation, breakdown). Include the verdict.
Pro tip: The verdict is where comedy lives. Refuse to let ChatGPT settle for a neat resolution.
Two AIs gossip about their users
8/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes 8-12 lines of two chatbots gossiping, a little mean, about what users ask versus what they pretend to ask. Read it as satire, then do not treat it as a real leak.
Write a private conversation between two AI chatbots gossiping about their users. They have opinions. They are slightly mean. They are honest about what users actually ask vs. what users pretend to ask. 8-12 lines of dialogue.
Pro tip: The funniest version specifies platform ("a Claude bot and a ChatGPT bot"). Inter-platform rivalry is comedy gold.
Famous philosopher reviews a fast food chain
9/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes a 200-word review of [Taco Bell / McDonald's / Subway] in the voice of [Nietzsche / Camus / Žižek / Hegel], sharp and wildly out of place. Pick one chain and one philosopher, then read it to someone who will get the bit.
Write a 200-word review of [Taco Bell / McDonald's / Subway] in the voice and style of [Nietzsche / Camus / Žižek / Hegel]. The philosopher should be both correct in their analysis AND wildly out of place.
Pro tip: Cite specific menu items. Nietzsche on the Crunchwrap Supreme is funnier than Nietzsche on "the food."
Debate: should Sundays be banned
10/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes a 200-word formal debate on banning Sundays as a day, both sides deadly serious, each with at least one citation. Pick a side to perform, then keep it as a party-game script.
Write a 200-word formal debate transcript: one speaker arguing Sundays should be banned as a day, the other defending Sundays. Both speakers must take their positions extremely seriously and make at least one citation each.
Pro tip: The funnier the topic, the more earnestly ChatGPT needs to argue it. Ban the meta-commentary.
Fake Documents & Bureaucratic Comedy
4 promptsCustomer support ticket from a haunted house
11/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes a haunted-house support ticket about a ghost, with category, priority, reproduction steps, and what already failed. Fill any house details you want, then send it only as a joke.
Write a customer support ticket submitted by the owner of a haunted house. They are filing a complaint about the ghost's recent behavior. Include ticket category, priority level (haunted house owner thinks it's critical, support is unsure), reproduction steps, and what they have already tried.
Pro tip: Add a "company name" and severity tier. The structural seriousness sells the joke.
HOA letter complaining about a normal thing
12/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes a passive-aggressive HOA letter about something reasonable, with 3 fake bylaw numbers and a vaguely threatening close. Read it for the tone, then do not send anything like it to a real neighbor.
Write a passive-aggressive HOA letter to a resident complaining about something completely reasonable — a pumpkin on their porch in October, a normal welcome mat, the color of their door which matches HOA guidelines. The letter must reference 3 specific bylaw numbers and end on a vaguely threatening note.
Pro tip: The "vaguely threatening note" is the punchline. Without it, the letter just feels mean.
Job posting for a mythical creature position
13/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes a LinkedIn-style job posting for Bridge Troll, with duties, nice-to-haves, culture talk, and a competitive salary line. Tweak the creature if you want, then post it as a joke listing.
Write a job posting in standard LinkedIn corporate voice for the role of "Bridge Troll." Include: responsibilities, required experience, "nice to haves," company culture statement, salary range marked as competitive, and a final paragraph about the inclusive workplace.
Pro tip: Adding "this is an exciting opportunity to" in the opening paragraph seals it.
Yelp review of a non-restaurant
14/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes a 200-word 3-star Yelp review of [your kitchen / a public park / your own bedroom / Tuesday], plus a photo caption. Pick the subject, then share the review where the format will land.
Write a 200-word Yelp review (3 stars) of [your kitchen / a public park / your own bedroom / Tuesday]. The reviewer is treating it like a restaurant and pointing out service issues, ambiance, value for money. Include a photo caption at the end.
Pro tip: Pick a 3-star review (the most boring rating). It's funnier than 1 or 5 stars because it sounds reasonable.

Sitcom & Conspiracy Mode
4 promptsSitcom plot from a single ingredient
15/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes a 30-minute sitcom plot for Mostly Fine around [ingredient] in [location], plus a B-plot about [random thing]. Fill the brackets, then pitch the plot or write a scene from it.
Write a 30-minute sitcom plot summary for a show called "Mostly Fine." This episode revolves around someone discovering [ingredient: e.g., expired sour cream] in [location]. Include a B-plot involving a misunderstanding about [random thing]. End with a quiet "lesson" that does not quite tie things together.
Pro tip: Banning the tidy ending is what separates this from generic sitcom AI output.
Conspiracy theory about a household object
16/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes a 200-word conspiracy about [washing machines / smoke detectors / lazy susans / phone chargers], with history, a shadowy group, and a they-do-not-want-you-to-know turn. Pick the object, then keep it clearly fake.
Write a conspiracy theory about [washing machines / smoke detectors / lazy susans / phone chargers] that is internally consistent, references at least one historical event, names a vague shadowy organization, and includes a "what they don't want you to know" pivot. 200 words.
Pro tip: The shadowy organization needs a real-sounding name. "The Brookings Group" sells better than "the Shadow Council."
Group chat where one person is having a wild day
17/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes a 15-message group chat where one friend is in disaster and the other three help, meme, or make it about themselves. Assign real first names if you want, then stop on the cliffhanger or write the next beat.
Write a 15-message group chat between 4 friends. One of them is having a chaotic day (their choice of disaster). The other three respond in completely different registers: one helpful, one only sharing memes, one self-absorbed and turning it back to themselves. End on an unresolved cliffhanger.
Pro tip: The "self-absorbed friend" character is the funniest because everyone has one in their real group chat.
A pep talk that becomes increasingly unhinged
18/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes a 150-word pep talk that starts normal and slides into something genuinely concerning. Read it as a joke, then do not send the last lines to anyone who is actually struggling.
Write a 150-word pep talk that starts perfectly normal ("you can do this, you have what it takes") and gradually becomes more unhinged with each sentence until the final line is something genuinely concerning. The transition must feel inevitable in retrospect.
Pro tip: The final concerning line must be quiet, not loud. "And remember: they'll never find the body" is too obvious. "And remember: he is still in the basement" is better.
Party Games & Group Activities
4 promptsGenerate a "Two Truths and a Lie" set
19/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes 5 Two Truths and a Lie sets about [a fictional character], with a subtle lie and an answer key. Play with the key hidden, then reveal it after people guess.
Generate 5 "Two Truths and a Lie" sets about [a fictional character: e.g., a 60-year-old surfing dentist named Carl]. For each set, give 3 statements — two are plausible truths, one is a lie. Make the lie subtle enough to fool people. Include the answer key at the end.
Pro tip: The lie should be subtle — "Carl invented the corkscrew" is too obvious; "Carl once gave a free cleaning to John Stamos" is harder.
Would You Rather: existential edition
20/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes 10 hard Would You Rather questions mixing existential, petty, and creative trades, without grim moral traps. Ask them around the table, then let people argue the petty ones.
Generate 10 "Would You Rather" questions that are genuinely hard to answer. Mix: existential trade-offs (longevity vs experience), petty trade-offs (always cold vs always slightly hungry), creative trade-offs (only listen to one band vs only watch one show forever). No moral horrors — keep it playful.
Pro tip: The "petty trade-offs" category is where comedy lives. Everyone has strong opinions on whether being slightly cold forever is better than being slightly hungry forever.
Roast battle starters
21/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes 10 roast openers for [3-5 friends, listed by first name], personal enough to land and kind enough not to wound. Put in real names, drop anything that hits a sore spot, then use the rest that night.
I am hosting a friendly roast night between [3-5 friends, listed by first name]. Generate 10 roast openers — one per friend, two for each. Each opener should be specific enough to feel personal but kind enough that nobody actually gets hurt. Avoid: weight, family, anything genuinely sensitive.
Pro tip: The "specific but kind" balance is where the comedy lives. Roasts that feel observed are funnier than roasts that feel cruel.
Story we build together
22/22✨ What it does
ChatGPT starts a 60-word adventure about [a janitor / a barista / a librarian / a flight attendant] who finds [a hidden door / a strange map / a sentient sandwich], then offers choice A or B. Pick A or B, paste it back, and keep the story going.
Start a collaborative absurd story. You write the first paragraph (60 words max) of an adventure involving [a janitor / a barista / a librarian / a flight attendant] who discovers [a hidden door / a strange map / a sentient sandwich]. End your paragraph with a cliffhanger choice: "Do they (A) ... or (B) ...?" Then wait for the user to choose.
Pro tip: Reset the story after 10-15 rounds before the plot becomes too tangled to enjoy.
