Master the Art of Instagram Roasting in 2025
To roast someone on Instagram: (1) Study their profile for patterns and clichés, (2) Choose a specific roasting style (savage, friendly, Gen-Z, or Shakespearean), (3) Focus on behaviors not appearance, (4) Be clever and specific, not cruel, (5) Use current references and slang. Always keep it funny, not hurtful.

Look for bio clichés ('Living my best life', 'Wanderlust'), post patterns (all selfies, food pics), caption style (inspirational quotes, emoji overload), filter abuse, and follower-to-following ratio. The best roasts are specific and observational.
Great roasts identify recurring themes and behaviors. Does every photo have the same pose? Do they post motivational quotes every Monday? Are all their captions novels? Do they use 50 hashtags per post? These patterns are comedy gold for roasting material.
Select from Savage (brutal burns), Friendly (playful teasing), Gen-Z (current slang), or Shakespearean (eloquent insults). Match your style to your audience and relationship with the target. Consider their humor threshold.
Pick one specific aspect to roast rather than trying to roast everything. Targeting their most roastable trait (excessive filters, caption clichés, posting frequency) creates maximum impact and keeps your roast sharp and memorable.
Timing is everything. Roast right after they post something particularly roastable, use current trends and references, and ensure your audience is online and engaged. A well-timed roast can go viral, while a late roast falls flat.
No mercy, maximum burn. For thick-skinned friends only.
Example: "Your feed has more filters than a cigarette factory. Even your personality comes with Valencia preset."
Learn Savage Roasting →Playful teasing that everyone can laugh at.
Example: "I love how you take 47 selfies to post one. Your camera roll has more faces than Mount Rushmore."
Master Friendly Roasting →Using current slang and TikTok references.
Example: "The way you use hashtags is giving millennial energy. This whole vibe is not it, bestie. Touch grass immediately."
Gen-Z Roasting Guide →Eloquent insults with classical flair.
Example: "Thy vanity doth overflow like wine from a broken cask. Methinks thou art more filtered than the Thames itself."
Classical Roasting →Compare their profile to something unexpected but accurate.
"Your Instagram aesthetic is like a clearance rack at Target - trying to be trendy but somehow always a season behind."
Use numbers and data for precision roasting.
"237 followers but following 4,832 people? Your follow-back rate has worse odds than winning the lottery."
Reference their posting history for deeper burns.
"Still posting gym selfies from that one week you worked out in January? That New Year's resolution aged like milk."
Target their caption game specifically.
"Your captions read like a fortune cookie had a mental breakdown. 'Live, Laugh, Love' called - they want their originality back."
Profile traits: Gym selfies, protein shakes, "no pain no gain"
"Your personality has less depth than your ab definition. Those protein shakes can't fill the void where your conversation skills should be."
Profile traits: "Wanderlust", airplane emojis, sunset photos
"Your bio says 'wanderlust' but your last 10 posts are from the same Starbucks. That passport has seen less action than a library card."
Profile traits: Restaurant tags, food pics, "foodie" bio
"You've photographed more meals than a health inspector. Your food gets more likes than your selfies - even your followers know what's more interesting."
Profile traits: #blessed, "CEO", discount codes
"CEO of what? Bad lighting and desperate hashtags? Your discount code has been used less than a gym membership in February."
