Growing up, my younger brother was like a built-in punching bag, always there to take the brunt of my jokes. When I finally mustered the courage to utter a “Yo mama” quip, his retaliation was swift and merciless: “Your mom’s so fat, she needs a passport to get around her waist!”

That’s when I realized that roasting was not just a privilege but a sacred art form, especially among siblings. So, here’s a comprehensive manual to guide you through the treacherous yet hilarious world of brotherly roasts.
Anatomizing a Brotherly Roast
Unlike generic roasts, cracking on your bro demands a unique blend of audacity and affection. It’s not about making them feel small but about playfully poking fun at their quirks and similarities.
Your material should center around three key elements:
- Exaggerated physical characteristics
- embarrassing childhood anecdotes
- contradictions in their personality
Advanced Roastin’ Techniques
Roasting a brother is not just a skill; it’s a high-stakes game of wits. To emerge victorious, you need an arsenal of techniques:
- Mock praise: Begin with a seemingly complimentary remark, then subtly twist it into a roast. Example: “Bro, I admire how you can finish an entire cheesecake in one sitting. It’s truly a talent… for diabetics.”
- Comparative roasting: This is where you subtly roast your bro by drawing an unfavorable comparison. Example: “Mom always said you were the better-looking one. Guess she was wearing beer goggles that day.”
- The callback roast: Reference an inside joke or a past screw-up to evoke a nostalgic roasting experience. Example: “Remember that time you thought it was smart to try skinny dipping in our neighbor’s koi pond? They still haven’t gotten the smell out.”
- Physical Appearance and Health: Avoid targeting your bro’s body or health conditions.
- Sensitivity and Trauma: Steer clear of topics that might trigger painful memories or emotional scars.
- Privacy and Dignity: Respect your brother’s personal life and refrain from sharing embarrassing information in public settings.
Staying on the Right Side of the Line
While roasting is an essential element of siblinghood, there are certain boundaries that should never be crossed:
