Type one command and, for the next 15 minutes, the bot stops being a translator and starts being a chatter: it picks up messages at random and fires back a funnier version — then sticks around for the reply.

You: !trollmode

Translator Bot: this stream is so godo... or is it Kappa MrDestructoid
Pedro: rude
Translator Bot: rude is my middle name LUL MrDestructoid
MrDestructoid is the AI label. It is on every troll message, always.
This is the one part of Universal Translator that makes something up, and that is why it is switched off until you ask for it.
A translation says again, in your language, what a viewer already said. The meaning is theirs — the bot only carries it across. It runs all the time, for every chatter who needs it.
A troll reply is the bot’s own joke. Nobody in your chat said it first. That is a genuinely different thing to put in front of your community, so it is opt-in, time-limited, and labelled.
The two never collide. Troll mode only ever answers messages that are already in your channel’s language — the ones that need no translation and would otherwise pass by in silence. A viewer who needs translating gets translated, troll mode or not.
Type !trollmode in your own chat, or flip the switch in the Twitch extension. It is broadcaster-only: mods and viewers cannot turn it on, and cannot turn it off either.
Then it stops on its own — no timer to remember, no way to leave it running overnight by accident. Type the command again and it stops immediately.
Not every message gets a reply. The bot takes them at random and skips very short ones, which is deliberate: a bot that answers everything stops being funny in about a minute.
Choose a personality on your dashboard’s troll mode page and the bot speaks in that voice — the first joke and every comeback after it. A personality changes the voice, not the rules: replies stay short, stay in the language they were written in, tease rather than insult, and always carry the AI label.
The classic: fixes your typos and adds a wink. Troll mode's default voice.
Corrects everyone, has seen it all before, and is never impressed.
Arr! Every message becomes a tale from the high seas.
Loud, loyal, a few drinks in and can't spel. Everything is about gains.
Back in his day, chat was better. Grumbles, but secretly loves you.
Vastly intelligent, deeply bored and sure it will all end badly anyway.
A joke that gets a comeback and then silence is not a joke. When someone answers a troll reply, the bot answers back — in the same Twitch reply thread, with the exchange so far in mind, so the second line builds on the first instead of repeating it.
Troll replies are written by AI, not by you. We want your chat to be able to tell, so every one of them ends with a small label.
nice try, chat LUL MrDestructoid
Article 50 of the EU AI Act covers this kind of transparency, and we would rather err on the safe side — so the label is always on and cannot be switched off. There is no setting for it, on any plan.
Nothing to set up either. MrDestructoid is a Twitch global emote — the robot face chat already reads as a bot talking — so it appears whether the bot posts under our account or your own.
If you send under your own account or a linked bot account, you can swap in an emote of your own from your settings: one of your channel emotes, or the AI label icon published by the European Commission uploaded as one. It is a swap, never an opt-out — the message still gets a label. Get the EU icons
Translations are not labelled this way: a translation restates what a viewer already wrote, and the bot posting it is visible as a bot. Troll mode is the case where that is not obvious, so it is the case we mark.
Worth knowing before it runs in front of your community.
Troll mode never starts on its own. It stays off until you type the command or flip the switch, every single time.
Only messages already in your channel’s language are fair game. Translation carries on exactly as before, untouched, throughout.
Short messages are skipped and the rest are picked at random, so chat gets a punchline now and then rather than a bot monologue.
There is no configuration — none, on any plan — that produces an unlabelled troll message.
If someone answers a troll reply in another language, that message gets translated instead. Translation is the product; the thread simply waits.
If you have set the bot to post plain messages rather than Twitch replies, troll mode still jokes — but there is no reply thread for it to follow up in.
Both need a paid plan. Your dashboard has the same switch, next to the personality picker.
Type the command in your own channel. Type it again to stop early.
!trollmodeThe live dashboard in our Twitch extension has a TROLL switch and a countdown of the time left — so you can start it, watch it run, and stop it without typing in your own chat.
