1. Happy 50th! They say life begins at 40, but apparently, that’s just a marketing gimmick. So, here’s to starting life… again.

As the Master of Ceremony, you might want to show you know your onions well, and that you’re an expert in this profession because performing excellent on this occasion might be a stepping ground for other amazing opportunities for you.

The roast speech is a beautiful way to congratulate someone on their 50th birthday.

At 50, you’ve officially entered the ‘reboot’ phase – like a movie sequel, but with more naps and fewer explosions.
Cheers to hitting the big 5-0! Remember when they said life begins at 40? Well, at 50, life is checking its watch and wondering if it’s too late to start.
Happy half-century! They claim life begins at 40, but at 50, life is contemplating a career change and considering taking up interpretive dance – it’s never too late for a dramatic entrance.

2. Turning 50 is like upgrading to a premium membership – more wisdom, more wrinkles, and, of course, more groaning when you stand up.

Turning 50 comes with a subscription to a lot of age-induced premium packages, ranging from wrinkles, fine lines, muscles and joints paint, diminishing vision, and a healthy diet plan.

You can use this roast to make a joke around their fears. That is a good therapy for them and a good distraction from their fears, which they absolutely need to enjoy their event to the fullest.

3. Fifty and fabulous – or as I like to call it, halfway to a century of napping and complaining about technology.

This is a funny joke about their decreased intelligence on technology. 25 years from now, the technology they know about will be outdated, and new inventions will be topping the charts.

At that age, they are already termed as “old school”, and all they do at that time is whine and complain about the difficulty in navigating these new technologies.

Cheers to 50! Age is just a number, but at this point, it’s a number with a warranty that expired faster than a trending meme.

7. Congratulations on hitting the big 5-0! Remember, you’re not getting older; you’re gaining experience points in the game of life. Level up

Here is another witty roast speech to say to the celebrant. It is in accordance with the saying that ” with age comes experience, and lots of experience”.

10. At 50, you’ve officially joined the ‘Club Wisdom.’ Don’t worry; the only dues are reading glasses, but the perks include telling the same stories over and over.

Vision loss and repetition of words are major characteristics of old age which most people can’t escape, hence this last roast speech makes light humour of it.

Now, you have come to the roast speech and it is time to take your leave. You can say your goodbyes by giving the celebrant and guest a parting roast speech:
