RoachyAI Roast Videos for the Group Chat, Starring a Talking Cockroach
An AI roast video for the group chat used to take an editor and an afternoon. Now you type the roast, a cartoon cockroach with a mouth on it says it lip-synced, and a short vertical clip is ready to drop before anyone changes the subject.
Group chats run on roasts. The friend who is always twenty minutes late, the group that plans a trip every year and goes nowhere, the one who only replies with a thumbs up. A roach saying it is the roast with plausible deniability.
8 ideas
Always Twenty Minutes Late
You said you're five minutes away. You always say that. You're still in bed.
Send it while the late friend is still 'almost there'.
Trip We Never Take
Year six of planning the trip. We have a group name, a logo, and zero tickets.
The annual trip roast; everyone in the chat is guilty.
Thumbs Up Guy
Forty messages of planning and you reply with a thumbs up. Bold contribution.
For the group member who only reacts.
Left the Chat
"Left the group" is a threat. Coming back ten minutes later is a lifestyle.
The dramatic leaver in the group, exposed.
Roach Waiting at the Table
A roach alone at a restaurant table with six empty chairs, checking the time, saying: "On my way, they said. Forty minutes ago."
The one friend who is on time, finally represented.
Plans in the Group Chat
A roach on a couch scrolling the group chat, reading aloud: "Saturday? Sunday? Next month? Never? Great, never it is."
The scheduling poll that ends in nothing; universal.
Late Friend Roast
Roach: Where are you? Late roach: Parking. Roach: You don't have a car.
Three-line takedown for the chronic liar about arrival times.
Split the Bill
Roach: Let's split it evenly. Second roach: You had lobster. Roach: Evenly.
The bill-splitting villain every group knows.
The group chat is where AI roast videos live
Group chats already roast; they just do it in text. An AI roast video moves the same joke into a ten-second clip with a cartoon cockroach saying it out loud, which means the late friend can't scroll past it. Roachy: AI Talking Cockroach is built for exactly this: type the roast, and a roach with attitude delivers it lip-synced in a vertical video that plays inline in any messaging app. It takes less time than typing the roast twice, and it lands while the conversation is still about the thing you're roasting.
How to make an AI roast video that gets a reply
Make it about a pattern, not a moment. "You're always five minutes away" beats "you were late Tuesday" because everyone in the chat has receipts. Keep it to one or two sentences; the roach has 5 to 10 seconds and confidence needs room. Use the group's own vocabulary and inside jokes, since the roach says your words exactly as typed. For the big roasts, write a two-roach exchange with "Roach:" and "Late roach:" lines so the victim gets a voice and the punchline lands on line three. Send it with no caption. Captions are for people who aren't sure.
- Pattern over incident: always late, always thumbs up, always 'next month'
- Three-line dialogue for the friend who deserves a trial
- No caption; the roach is the caption
Roast rules of the group: punch sideways, not down
A good roast is a compliment in disguise: it says "we know you". Keep it about habits everyone has seen, skip anything private or mean, and never make a video about someone who isn't in on the joke. Roachy helps here by design: every character is a cartoon cockroach and the words are yours, so it always reads as a bit. If a clip comes out wrong, report it with a tap. And remember the rule of every group chat: whoever roasts the most gets roasted the hardest next week. Keep a comeback saved in My Videos.
How to make it in Roachy

Questions
How do I make an AI roast video of my friend?
Write the roast as one short line in the Create tab, tap Create, and share the clip from My Videos. The roast is delivered by a cartoon cockroach, not a likeness of your friend, so use the inside joke rather than their face; it lands harder anyway.
Do I need an account to make a roast video?
You can sign in as a guest, or with email, Google or Apple. Making videos does require an active subscription; the current price is shown in the app. There are no ads and no tracking either way.
Is this the 'AI cockroach meme' everyone is posting?
It's the same idea, but you write the lines. Roachy: AI Talking Cockroach turns whatever you type into a short talking cockroach video: single roast, short scene, or a two-roach argument. That's why it works for the group chat: the roast is about your people, not somebody else's meme.
Does Roachy write the roast for me?
No. You write the line and the roach says it word for word. If you're blank, the Create screen has ready-made ideas by category under Need an idea?; or open Discover: it shows videos other people made, anonymously, and "Make this" drops their text into your box so you can change the names and the punchline before you tap Create.
