Hoping to roast one of your friends or family members? Here are some funny (but ultimately harmless!) insults to try out on them:

You call that a brainstorm? It’s more like a light drizzle!
You deserve to step on a Lego.
That outfit looks like the “before” picture in a makeover show.
If ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest person alive.
If you took a personality test, I think you’d fail.
Your pH level is 14. In other words, you’re basic!
A penny for your thoughts would be too overpriced.
You’re the reason shampoo bottles have instructions.
You’re like a cloud. When you go away, the day gets brighter.

Just make sure that you use these insults in a joking way with someone who would think they're funny. Avoid truly insulting anyone or making them feel bad about themselves.

Funny insults for friends and family, when used with care and good humor, can add a playful spark to conversations without crossing the line. Classics like “You bring everyone so much joy… when you leave the room” or “You have something on your chin… no, the third one down” are light-hearted and delivered best with a smile. For family, lines like “You’re proof that every family has that one ‘special’ member” or “You’re not lazy—you’re just on energy-saving mode” can keep the mood fun while still getting a laugh. The key is to keep it all in good spirit, making sure everyone’s laughing *with* you, not *at* you.
