Write jokes, a funny speech, or a roast
Funny material tailored to your audience — clever, not cruel.
The prompt
Write something funny.
Format: [jokes / funny toast / light roast / stand-up bit / funny caption / office party skit]
Topic or person: [WHO/WHAT, with real details and quirks]
Audience: [WHO will hear it — family, coworkers, friends]
Humor style: [dry, silly, wordplay, observational, self-deprecating]
Off-limits topics: [LIST]
Write it with specific details (specific is funnier than generic), and set up and pay off callbacks. Keep it affectionate: punch up, not down — no jokes about appearance, identity, or anything the audience would find hurtful. Mark the lines where to pause for laughs.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
