They say hard work pays off. Guess you proved them wrong by getting promoted. Just kidding... mostly. Congrats!
To my step-dad, on your new role: May your new responsibilities be less demanding than remembering my birthday. Big congrats!
I heard about your promotion, Step-dad. I just hope this new power doesn't go to your head and make you even more insufferable. Just kidding (partially)! Congrats!
None of these feel quite right?

Congrats on the promotion! I always knew you had it in you... to occasionally show up and do something useful. Proud of you (sort of).
Well, look at you, moving up in the world! Does this mean I finally get a raise in my allowance for putting up with you? Kidding! Congrats!
They must have been really desperate to give you this promotion. But hey, a win's a win! Seriously though, congrats!
Another promotion? Are you secretly a wizard, or just really good at failing upwards? Either way, well done, Step-dad!
Here's to your promotion, Step-dad! Now you have an even better excuse to avoid doing chores around the house. Just kidding... not really. Congrats!
Common questions
How do I know if my step-dad will appreciate a roast?‹
The key is knowing his sense of humor. If he's generally light-hearted, can dish out jokes, and doesn't take himself too seriously, he'll likely enjoy a well-intentioned roast. If he's sensitive or easily offended, it might be safer to opt for a more traditional, sincere message.
What's the line between a good roast and being genuinely mean?‹
A good roast is always delivered with affection and a clear underlying message of love and respect. It should poke fun at minor quirks or common stereotypes, not deeply personal insecurities or past failures. The goal is laughter, not hurt feelings. Always ensure the tone is playful, not malicious.
Can I deliver these wishes in person or should I write them?‹
Both! Delivering a roast in person can add to the comedic effect, especially if you have good timing and a playful smirk. However, writing it in a card allows him to re-read it and appreciate the humor at his own pace. Consider doing both: say one in person, and write a few others in a card for maximum impact.
