Nice comeback bro

Quips that are a whole lot snarkier than a basic 'yo mama' joke

They didn't see these coming...

Satisfyingly insulting insults that won't put a quarter in the swear jar

Don't mess with these people: they've got some quick and witty comebacks. When your friends are messing with you or a stranger is shouting at you, that's the time to come up with a witty reply . That's a lot easier said than done. It must be a universal experience to have nothing to say in that moment, then six hours later while you're in the shower, you suddenly think of the perfect comeback. But then it's too late! That's why it's extra satisfying when you do come up with a hilarious response…

Sometimes you find yourself in a situation that feels so brainless, you have to pinch yourself because you can't even believe it's actually happening to you and there are actual people out there like this. When you get in a situation like this it usually involves some sort of Karen. These people are masters of entitlement and thrive on throwing tantrums, and, of course, their catchphrase is “I need to talk to the manager!” A woman on Reddit recently had an encounter with a Karen while she was j…

They're funny though

Kamikaze by words

Wittiness is next to tardiness

When the internet talks, ratios happen. And luckily for us, they're often really funny, and fun to root for the person doing the ratio'ing. Some of the funniest ratios I've ever witnessed were during the 2022 monkey NFT craze. (See #8 for one example!) As you may recall, “Bored Ape” NFTs were all the rage for crypto bros. The gist was that you bought the digital image of the apes, and then you owned the image, technically, sort of. Because while you may have had a paper stating that you owned t…

It's a tale as old as time. After a long day of staring at your screen in anger, you're standing (or maybe sitting, crying) in the shower. Just trying to wash away the agony of the day. As you lather up your hair with sweet-smelling shampoo, there it is. A “Eureka!” moment. No, not the meaning of life. But the perfect zinger that would have absolutely destroyed that annoying bully in the office cafeteria, or perhaps that obnoxious Twitter troll you wanted to clobber with words. It's unfortunate…

Dating apps, oh, dating apps

This is the 33rd weekend in a row that you've told your friends that you're "sick"

We all spend a fair amount of time scrolling our lives away on the Internet, and sometimes it feels as though it's for naught. But if the internet's good for anything, it's seeing strangers get roasted and toasted in public forums, whether it's in a Twitter thread or the comments on any given subreddit. You'll never catch us being okay with cyberbullying— being cruel or threatening folks online is never okay, and that's not what this here compilation is about. This is all about appreciating the…

A good insult is hard to come by. As schoolchildren, we start with the basics. There's the powerful “No, you!” which is followed by the even more powerful and incredibly smug “I know you are but what am I?” We remember the early days of “Your mom” jokes (which are extra devastating if the mother in question is dead) and “stupid jokes" like the one that insinuates it takes an hour for the victim to cook minute rice. These are all well and good if you've yet to go through puberty, but as we get o…
