"Friendly ribbing" is a bit safer, and may feel less like brow-beating for some. Having said that, I occasionally trash talk my players. Mostly, I use it to set the mood or drop clues and hints as to the upcoming night. Perceptive players pick up on them, and feel good for having picked out the subtle (or not so subtle, depending) hint. For the nights where something truly NASTY is in store for the PC's, the heads up, even if done quietly, really helps to get them into the proper frame of mind they will need to survive.
