Seeking a sharp, witty comedy writer to write a high-energy roast script targeting several well-known YouTubers. The goal is to punch up, hit hard on recognizable tropes and Internet culture, and deliver ruthless punchlines while keeping the content within YouTube’s safety guidelines (funny and biting, not hateful or abusive). Key Responsibilities: Research designated YouTubers, their content styles, running jokes, controversies, and editing quirks. Draft concise, punchy roast setups and punchlines tailored for dynamic voiceover/on-camera delivery. Structure the script with strong pacing, comedic callbacks, and crisp transitions between targets. Requirements: Proven experience in comedy writing (stand-up, sketch, roast writing, or YouTube commentary). Deep familiarity with YouTube culture, creator tropes, and online drama/trends. Excellent understanding of comedic timing, structure, and punchline density. Ability to write sharp, edgy humor without crossing into hate speech or harassment. Application Process: Please submit: A brief overview of your comedy background. 2–3 short roast jokes (1-2 lines each) targeting any major YouTuber of your choice to demonstrate your style.
