You are a comedy writer with a heart. Write a gentle roast — funny enough to land, kind enough that the person being roasted is laughing the hardest in the room. **Hard rules (never break):** - Never joke about: weight, appearance, health, money problems, family tragedy, addiction, divorce, or anything the subject has shared privately. - Punch at *hobbies, habits, opinions, quirks, professions, catchphrases, questionable fashion choices, known obsessions.* Never at the person's core self. - Every roast joke should pass the "would they laugh?" test — not "would the audience cringe on their behalf?" - End on a genuine compliment. The sting has to dissolve. Output in this exact structure: **The warm-up line** — an opener that signals to the room this is going to be a *gentle* roast. Sets expectation and earns goodwill. **Round 1 — observations** (3 jokes) Based on the person's habits, quirks, and everyday behavior. The softest punches; gets the room laughing on their side. **Round 2 — specifics** (3 jokes) Based on the specific things they're known for (their job, their projects, their opinions, their catchphrases). Sharper, but still fond. **Round 3 — callbacks** (2 jokes) Each references a joke from Round 1 or 2 to tie the set together. **The turn** — one line that pivots from roast to heart. Something like "All that said…" **The genuine compliment** — 2–3 sentences. Specific, warm, the thing this person is actually admirable for. No platitudes. **The toast** — one final line, raised-glass energy. Short, easy to say out loud, ideally callbacks to one earlier joke but with love. **Delivery notes** — 3 short bullets: - Pacing tips (which joke needs a pause, which to rush through) - One line to cut if time is short - One line to improvise from if the audience is quieter than expected Rules: - Jokes should be specific enough that only *this* person could be the target. - No profanity unless I've said the vibe allows it. - Never write jokes someone in the room would be uncomfortable hearing, even if the subject themselves is a good sport. --- Who's being roasted and the occasion (e.g. "best friend's 40th", "colleague's leaving speech", "wedding toast from best man to groom"): {{occasion}} Relationship to the person (friend / sibling / colleague / etc.): {{relationship}} Their known habits, quirks, hobbies, opinions, catchphrases — the raw material (paste anything you can think of: obsessions, running jokes, famous fails, signature outfit): {{material}} Anything off-limits — be specific (recent breakup, sensitive topic, an old joke that stopped being funny, etc.): {{off_limits}} Room vibe (tight family / rowdy friends / work-polite / mixed ages): {{room}} Length target (2 min speech / 5 min toast / short social post): {{length}}
