Check out their new EVO 15-S system at: bit.ly The team at LMG are a diverse bunch with a wide-ranging skillset - and they often use those skills to cast a critical eye on the choices Linus makes with his setups. Today though, we play the uno reverse card: it’s time for Linus and Luke to judge the choices their own staff make, and publicly roast their setups!

Roasting OUR worst setups reveals a playful, high-energy format where Linus Tech Tips turns the lens on its own staff and their personal battle stations. The video sets up a guessing game: Linus and Luke receive a batch of staff setups without names and must deduce who owns each one based on visual cues, gear choices, and room aesthetics. The premise hinges on roasting, but the tone stays light, with quick quips and banter that keep the mood buoyant even as each setup is torn down for less-than-ideal cable management, component choices, or space constraints. Early segments establish the challenge and the sponsor integration, noting ORIGIN PC and their EVO15-S laptop as a reliable contrast to the desk-bound rigs under scrutiny. Throughout, the team alternates between praise for clever or clean layouts and playful ribbing for odd choices like unusual mouse pads, misplaced drives, or non-upgradable displays, ensuring the roast remains about the builds rather than the builders. The editing pace mirrors the rapid-fire energy of a live roast, with cuts that align with the 5-minute window milestones and a running joke about identifying staff from their desks rather than from faces alone. By the time the first major round ends and a familiar rhythm emerges, viewers are treated to a structured roast that balances humor with genuine curiosity about internal workflows and team personalities.
