How can I roast my dad in a funny way?
When thinking about roasting someone you live with or have to see every Sunday over lunch, my first question back would be "Does he have a sense of humor?”. Also, I would reserve it for a special occasion (eg bday, anniversary, etc.).

I think one of the best ways to successfully perform some sort of roast–where both the audience and “the roasted” like it–is to avoid making fun of physical traits, and instead focus on behaviors, things he does repetitively, or things he likes to do. (Eg. A sports team he likes that sucks, the fact that he plays golf when he’s not good at it, etc.).

Funny rizz lines to say to guys?
I've hosted lots of mingling events with Bumble. People are often shy at those, so I used humor to encourage them. I’d ask people about their red flags and green flags—some would say things like, “I want someone with health insurance,” which I found hilarious. You can try asking guys about funny red and green flags and see where the conversation goes.
