Friends are the family we choose, and part of that family dynamic includes the sacred art of roasting each other. These funny roasts are perfect for those moments when you want to playfully tease your friends without actually hurting their feelings.
The Art of Friendly Roasting
Roasting friends is all about finding that sweet spot between hilarious and harmless. The best friend roasts are:
- Playful rather than mean-spirited
- Based on quirks everyone already knows about
- Delivered with love and a smile
- Something you'd be okay receiving back
