50 Of The Most Brilliant Comebacks Ever Screenshotted, As Shared On The ‘Clever Comebacks’ Page (New Pics)
There are very few things in life that feel better than one-upping someone. Not too many of us will admit it, but it feels absolutely amazing when you prove someone wrong, show everyone you're right, and demolish others with well-placed witty comebacks. The best roasts end up on the 'Clever Comebacks' subreddit, a community of nearly 754k members, eagerly combing the corners of the internet for humorous, witty, and razor-sharp comebacks.
When it comes to being witty, there are two general approaches. The first one is firing off an instant quip, taking advantage of the perfect timing. It's a skill that you can develop over time. The second approach is taking a bit more time and carefully honing the perfect response for each situation. That's much easier done on the internet than in real life, but it's also something we can all do, no matter our current skill in cleverly taking others down a peg or two.
London-based British musical stand-up comedian, author, and comedy writer Ariane Sherine highlighted to Bored Panda in a follow-up interview what's most important when it comes to a clever comeback. "I think the most important thing with comebacks is speed. Even if the joke isn't a total zinger, people will be impressed by your quickfire response," she said. Read on for her other insights about how we can all up our comedy game.
You'll find Bored Panda's earlier post about r/clevercomebacks right over here. Be sure to give it a read once you're done enjoying this list and upvoting the comebacks and epic burns that you personally feel deserve calling the fire brigade over.

Not to mention the part about forgetting his birthday for three years. While there are absolutely parents who are this bad and much, much worse, the wording of the letter sounds like someone who is mimicking a homophobic piece of garbage so they can have the satisfaction of seeing the columnist’s response, rather than an actual homophobic piece of garbage.
Hey Foxxy, hope you are doing well. I was already wondering where have you been, since I didn't "hear" from you for a couple of posts. Nice that you are back.

Well, clearly they CHOSE to only act on heterosexual urges - in other words, they are bi or something like that. :P
Load More Replies...How do you forget your son's birthday for 3 years in a row???
"My mother forgot my birthday... So I will choose to be hated, discriminated against, live in constant fear and danger while being certain I will burn in hell forever unless I remain lonely and miserable for life, that will teach her." She is stupid and ignorant... but at least, she tried to change him (although it is impossible) instead of disowning him. If I had a choice, I would rather have had such parents than bruises and bitterness.
It doesn't say anywhere that the parent was the mother. Grand bit of sexism you've got going there. As for the rest of your comment, bruises can be on the inside too when people are crushed by being made to feel there's something wrong with them. God only knows what that lad is going through in that house. Awful parenting takes many forms.
Load More Replies...There are multiple things wrong with this parent. Like not only are you homophobic you forgot your own son's birthday? I don't care how busy your work schedule is forgetting your kids birthday isn't ok much less 3 YEARS IN A ROW
I knew the question would be awful as soon as I read: "I'm part of a church group...I'm afraid they will make fun of ME..."!! Yeah, who cares about him right? You don't want them to make fun of YOU.

Also, the subject of double masking among people outside healthcare wouldn’t even have come up if Trumpy boy hadn’t been all “RAMPANTLY SPREADING COVID IN THE COMMUNITY IS FREEEEEEEEEEDUMB!!!1!” Signed, Our prime minister doesn’t like covid
He's POTUS. Unlike the last one, he knows he's not invincible, and wants to be cautious. B/c, y'know, virus, variants, pandemic... ARGH.
Double-layered masks are compulsory in some environments: it's just obvious on President Biden because he's wearing two different types.
Outstanding slap back! Former nurse here.. when it was really bad and they recommended wearing 2 masks, I popped that second one on no problems ever! Doc, you are my hero of comebacks!

Not just Trump, that has been going on in the US for generations.
Ariane told us that most stand-up comics have a "repertoire of comebacks" that they often share with others in their profession when it comes to tackling hecklers at shows. "We're not all as fast and talented as it seems! But if we're doing stand-up, our own routines will be original—it's just heckle putdowns that might not be," she said.

"On Christ the solid Rock I stand" .... does not involve, to my recollection, smug superiority and virtue signaling. Hmm. (Note: I do not identify as Christian as that term has been diminished in the US; I am a Jesus-ist!)
"Trump has spent more time in Stormy Daniels than he has in church". I just spit coffee out of my nose laughing. Touche' Cindy!!!
Christian here -- Trump used his "faith" as currency to buy votes. "By their fruit shall you know them..." (meaning, you will know a person by the kinds of things they do). I can tell you, his was rotten. It breaks my heart to see so many people who claim to follow Christ following the idol of "American Christianity" instead, thinking they're doing the right thing. That's not true Christianity.

Someone from the US talking about rights is quite ironic in my opinion. Although I don’t see anywhere that suggests Gary is from the US.
His Twitter page indicates he's from Pennsylvania, USA.

However humiliating the situation was, it was also an example of razor-like wit in action. "I started a joke by saying 'I'm single at the moment...' and a guy in the audience yelled, 'I'll shag you!' So I called his bluff and said, 'Come on up here then' and he shot back, 'Nah, I've taken a closer look and I don't fancy you!' Really humiliating and not much fun at all, but possibly quite amusing for the audience."

my grandma died few days before christmas due to covid, my grandpa (her husband) died yesterday due to complications from covid. It's just another virus to me too but if you can do something to help others stay safe, does it matter that you have to wear a mask for a bit?? is it really that hard not going around getting people sick??? people are literally dying! and you can make less people die by just not spreading this s**t with this thin mask that does in no way "harm your human rights" or " stop your airflow". I lost my grandparents to someone who didn't wear a mask around them, they were staying at home so someone visitited and got them both sick. Just as ridiculous it is to you that you have to wear a mask- it's as ridiculous to me that people have to literally die cuz you're a c*nt!
I'm so sorry for your losses, truly. And for those who don't wear masks; for shame. This is the pain your actions cause, take note.

Can Anyone Show Martha The Original Constitution ?
An Amendment is not a "rewrite". If it was a rewrite, it would be called a revision or correction. They chose the term Amendment for a very specific reason. Blackburn is correct in terms of definitions. Jemele is correct when using the term "rewrite" and mistaking it for Amendment

Whatttt !?? No Vegan Options At KFC!???
As an amateur astronomer, I found this very informative. I will avoid World of Carpets. Thanks for the heads up
Oh, I've taken up an interest for astronomy as well, I heard that they have some great telescopes in Fred Meyer's, just for future reference.
Load More Replies...As a vegan myself I can definitively say KFC does have vegan fries and corn, which is more than a lot of places. And they tested Beyond Meat and will expand it to the menu soon. Can’t wait!
Discriminated against my ass. I’m vegetarian, I would be thrilled if the whole world was vegetarian, but I’m not walking into a BBQ joint and whining that there aren’t tofu ribs for me.
Ok but KFC literally stands for "Kentucky fried chicken"!What did she think was gonna happen
Yes, exactly, (thanks?) that is why that response was made.
Load More Replies...But, if she's vegan, why even visit that establishment at all? If anything, she should boycott it
Reminds me of the people who proudly don't tip, because servers should be paid a living wage, instead of boycotting places with tipped servers. They'd be more believable if they actually stood for their beliefs
Load More Replies......KFC stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken not Kentucky fried chickpeas
Actually their coleslaw and biscuits aren’t vegan but their fries and corn and green beans are. I still swing by for fries sometimes there.
Load More Replies...I'm a vegan. I understand her desire to be given meatless options at restaurants, but... It's f*****g KFC. It's not a proper restaurant and I wouldn't eat there even if I was still eating animals. Expecting this option at KFC is a bit much. This is a slow process and we are making progress, but KFC was never going to be on the front of issues like this. However, McDonalds has apparently made deals with Impossible Foods to offer vegan burger patties, so even the fast-food companies are seeing that vegans are a valid market. See? Progress!
If one (or more) of my friends are vegan, vegetarian, we decide in front what restaurant to visit. If I opt to go to a steakhouse, they are obviously declining before setting food in said restaurant. Because that's why we communicate!!!
Damn... Guess My Opinion Is Invalid
oh yes it is. i am indian and I referred to myself as "brown-skinned" a couple of days back and people were like "what..?! u cant say that?". really? i can't call *myself* brown? why? i would b grateful if someone could explain it to me though.
Load More Replies...I think the OP was referring to the myriad of fragile, entitled white people who gibber “racism” when they get called out.
Who better to define the seriousness of the wound than the person who inflicted it? Makes perfect sense!
Please pick up a history book and educate yourself on the multitudes of ethnic/racial conflicts that have existed all over the planet since the dawn of civilisation. The idea that racism can only be perpetuated by white people against people of color is incredibly ignorant at best.
Load More Replies...I understand what he's talking about. It seems the point is being missed by people intentionally. They attack the technicalities of the language, rather than accepting the intention of the statement: white people don't get to tell other people what is or is not offensive to those people. This is a huge problem where white people say/do racist s**t and then declare "that's not racist"... and then turn it around and say "you're just mad at me because I'm white, so you're racist too!" It really gets tiresome to see people endlessly argue with the language just to avoid grasping the f*****g point.
Omg yes! People will argue about the semantics, they not pick, anything but actually talk about the issue at hand.
Load More Replies...Racism can be performed by anyone. A black person can be just as a racist as white person. If you look up the actual definition it doesn’t say anything about minorities it simply says one who feels their race is superior to others.
Depends on which definition you use. There is a definition that has been around for a long time that states (more or less) that "judging someone by their skin color is bigotry, but it doesn't escalate to racism until it is systemic, and one group has more power than the other". -- so in America, a black person can't be racist to a white person... because they don't have the overall society standing behind them and backing them up. And by this logic, In China a the Uyghurs can't be racist towards the Han Chinese, because the Chinese hold the power. -- I'm not asking you to agree with this definition, just letting you know that it is out there, and has been for a long time.
Load More Replies...Guys, racism exists in all races. Literally. But the color of your skin doesn't matter. Be proud of who you are.
There is nothing wrong with the word or being black... I live on an island that is literally in the sun and we are of different hues from Albino- white- light brown- caramel brown- brown- cocoa brown- blue black... I for one am caramel brown I don't want to be any lighter or darker I love the skin I'm in... but there is nothing wrong with the word or being black its just it comes with a very negative stigma brought on by slave masters... it was a way to disconnect the people and create a system of hierocracy.... penning black people and anyone associated with black as being at bottom of the every barrel making them and their indispensable like garbage... which is why Black Lives Matter because at the end of the day we are all Humans... honestly disliking someone just for the colour of their skin is the most ignorant thing... people like that are always insecure
A lot depends on the person thinking up the comeback as well as the particular situation they're in. After all, we've all had moments when we fire off a joke that's 10/10 without knowing how it came to us. We've also been in situations where we're in the shower washing our hair, and we suddenly come up with the ideal comeback to something someone said a week ago. Alas! Usually, it's too late to deploy that perfect comeback because it's far, far too late.

As for finding the line between a regular comeback and one that makes you laugh out loud, according to comedian Ariane, it's clear for everyone to see when the comeback's good and when it falls flat on its face. "It needs to be very fast, well-timed, and take people by surprise as well as being clever, witty, and immediately understandable." When you break it down like that, the art of the comeback becomes even more daunting than it was before.
Fortunately, our subconscious mind kicks in and takes over from us when we least expect it. (It could do that more often because it's bloody brilliant when it takes charge.) "But that's relatively rare in my experience. I'm sure many other comics are more natural than I am!" Ariane shared that it doesn't happen nearly as often as we'd like.

Amazing how the people who absolutely seem to loathe and despise everything Jesus ever stood for are the ones calling people who disagree with them "Godless"
What the actual fuckityfuck is wrong with these cultists? Why do they assume "democrat" = "godless"?? I'm an atheist, but I'm not a democrat (I only have an affiliation in order to be allowed to vote in primaries, because PA is a stupid closed primaries state). I came from a family of democrat-voting theists. I know countless scores of people who are both democrat and religious. It drives me nuts, but the left isn't remotely atheist. It's not even unchristian. The ones who identify as "spiritual but not religious" are just as religious as the rest (they just believe in alternative nonsense). The republican cult also isn't remotely sincere in all their bible thumping godliness shite either.
Because Republicans are the ones trying to take states back to Biblical times. If you go against them, *clearly* you're godless. 😉

so let me get things straight... you say what u wanna say and then block the person so that they can't also say what they want to say, cuz only your point of view matters... and you expect them to email you an appology ( cuz if you expected them emailing their point of view instead, you wouldn't have blocked them in first place) :) this is immature, childish, disrespectful, and ain't nobody wanna marry a person like this. It was " cool" when we were 12. Grow the f up and don't block your man expecting him to run back to you if you've disrespected him by taking away his ability to speak to you.
Founded back in 2018, the 'Clever Comebacks' subreddit celebrated its third birthday back in January. Since then, it's amassed a huge following that keeps on growing. Since our last post about the community in December 2020, the number of members has grown from 679k to almost 754k.
Not everyone has the nuanced point of view that witty comebacks can be either impulsive or planned out. According to Rhea Wessel writing for the BBC, witty comebacks can only be made in the moment and timing is vital. Without it, there's no wit and no comeback worth remembering.

Other People’s Kids Is A Surprisingly Great Form Of Birth Control
My little sister always tells me that watching my 3 and 4 year olds is the best birth control ever.
I had my daughter at 34. I was married, stable well paying career, home big enough for all of us, savings in my bank account and 100 times more mature and patient than I would have been at 24. I am SO glad we waited until we were ready and prepared. I was able to fully enjoy my 20's without child issues or worries. Would not change a thing and will encourage my daughter to do the same. Shame no one told the OP that!!
Different strokes for different folks - we had our kids earlier. My wife was 21 and I was 24. You don't have any money in your 20's anyway, so all we would have done was go to bars or whatever we were already doing. That gets real old. Instead, when the kids are adults and move out, we'll be 39 and 42. We have a ton of money at this point in our lives and we'll have 30 years to travel and do all the stuff we would have wanted to do in our 20's, but couldn't afford.

The obsession with making babies ... I know it's biological, but we have birth control and, supposedly, rational thinking abilities to deal with the biological consequences of pursuing sex. People constantly act like we are superior to other animals, but then they demonstrate this insane tendency to want to overpopulate to the point where we literally destroy our own habitat (and we've destroyed so much of it for other species already). Stop the stupid culture of pressuring people to reproduce as if that's something everyone must and should do. Especially at such a young age!!

Legit question. Do they hurt "the system" or the local businesses with looting? Next stage of oppression will be shop owners/chains moving out of the affected neighbourhoods
Legit answer. The people that are actually there to protest the police crimes, are NOT the ones doing the "looting". People are opportunists. Criminals will see a protest consisting of thousands, and take advantage of the situation. That is what people are trying to tell you all that constantly harp on "BLM looting"...it is NOT BLM DOING THE LOOTING. They dont "hurt the system" because they are not the ones committing the crimes. But certain people see black folks "looting" and ASSUME they just have to be a part of BLM. Wrong assumption.

While we all secretly enjoy a spot of dark humor here and there, there's an advantage to choosing to go for more positive comebacks instead of negative ones. "Often the best retorts are comebacks that are witty, take the higher moral ground, are appropriate and most importantly, positive," Rhea writes on BBC Worklife.
Choosing positive comebacks over negative ones is especially important in a work setting which can affect the atmosphere and how employees feel about their jobs. "Positive comments are a far better tool for keeping projects on track while showing your love of linguistic acrobatics. Others will find the humor in them and you may see negative interactions quickly cease," Rhea explains.

Load More Replies...well, its a harsh truth, but at least he’ll know what he’s doing to his children
both sides are correct cuz knowing what i did as a 14-15 year old and am not proud of (both irl and on the internet) , i wouldn't want my child to do the same. Once i see my child as reasonable and responsible i would let them have their freedom and privacy. I was neither at this age (giving this age as an example cuz 17-18 year olds just need privacy imo no matter how reasonable they are cuz they're almost young adults now, not that much of children anymore) so i didn't have privacy ( never had my own room, we didn't lock doors at home either) but my mom was never at home so i did the dumb s**t i did... There's a line where you can both respect your child but also not allow them to do dumb s**t ( like getting involved with predators online for example, or doing harmful things to others or themselves) and i really wish someday i would find this line when i'm a parent.
If you consider your child as lower than a friend then you need to rethink your relationship with them...
Okay, kids deserve privacy but that doesn't mean that you need to be completely unaware of them. They deserve your trust until they do something that proves that you can't trust them. However, if they listen and you know that they're responsible then they can have some space.
i'm gonna get burned for this: I am a parent and i protect my sons privacy(16), protect him from harmful information, online violence, offline violence and guard him from getting exploited. When applied to (online and offline) communication i need to loosely monitor the communication between him and some people. When applied to online and offline informationsources, i need to loosely monitor what info he is consuming. I do not act on the information in those communications, other than to guide him if needed. To guarantee a childs rights, the privacy the child has from a parent or guardian is limited. Once a child is no longer a child, the privacy should be complete. (The level of privacy a child has from a parent should be in relation to the length a child has to go to maturity, but i cant find that bit in childrens rights) https://www.unicef.org/child-rights-convention/convention-text-childrens-version [[The only countries not on board are Somalia, South Sudan, and the US]]

It's terrifying, but unfortunately the science has been replicated and backed up. Basically it's micro-plastics that are everywhere and in everything. Such as lotion (added to make it more absorbent) and milk (plastic deposited while passing through plastic pipes in farms and factories). Just existing in the current polluted world, micro-plastic is accumulated in our bodies. When a woman gets pregnant the micro plastic crosses the blood barrier between mother and child. The plastic mimics testosterone, which is fine if the child is a girl (probably causes other issues but in this case fine), but if it is a boy, it means he isn't getting enough of the real testosterone and his genitals don't develop properly. He is less "boy" then his grandfather. For female fertility statistics, a grandmother would be more likely to get pregnant at 35 than a women today at 25

C) They were concerned it would be "security theatre" people would wear them and then go to parties and live life like normal.

They did their best with limited information, which is all any of us can do.

The church has been keeping women under their thumb for centuries.

Did you not read that comment at all? As a German I can tell you it’s a f*****g joke and incredibly offensive to compare fact checking with the oppression and censorship in the third Reich. But hey, sure, murdering +6 million people, torturing them, castrating disabled people, concentration camps, etc are totally on the same level as deleting anti vaxx bullshit.

To be fair you can learn a lot about medicine without having a degree. But you need to go to reputable sources, like scientific articles, not quora.
Exactly like looking into peer reviewed studies on sites like BMJ, the Lancet and others.

Load More Replies...On Decriminalising Drugs
Making drugs legal does not mean there aren’t restrictions. The fact is making illicit drugs legal will actually solve many problems like drug cartels, serious crimes, the high rates of overdose or people taking laced drugs etc. Prohibition doesn’t work but having rules and regulations helps greatly.
The only viable endgame to the "war on drugs" is to create a more just and equitable society where people don't need to turn to illicit drugs to escape the shittyness of their existence. And a society which cares for the mental health of its citizens and encourages people not to hide and self-medicate with drugs.
Load More Replies...By legalising something you take away the opportunities for criminals to make money out of it. That's what the prohibition has taught us. So instead of spending billions on fighting drug cartels, the government could make billions on legalizing drugs and taxing them. It would also ensure a constant quality and less fatalities due to drugs contaminated with all sorts of deadly additions. It would also lessen the number of people incarcerated and the number of crimes.
That's true but you're also destigmatizing it, making it's use more common. Ik a lot of people whose perception of weed changed upon it's legalization in the west. Same with alcohol and smoking. "It's legal and everyone does it so who cares if I give it a go"
Load More Replies...Portugal decriminalized drug use and they had amazing results. HIV infections decreased, substance abuse treatment increased, over doses decreased, and overall drug use decreased. Drug addiction is a illness not a crime. Drug addicts need medical treatment, not arrests on their records so they can never get a job again. Still illegal to traffic and sell drug, in fact drugs are still illegal, they are just decriminalized. You go to court with a judge, your lawyer, and a medical professional who assesses if you require mandatory rehab or if you should pay a fine.
Decriminalize drugs just means lessening punishments for people who just have drugs with them, basically. It’s stupid that people become convicts over having like an ounce of marijuana in their car when they didn’t even do anything else. I mean I hate marijuana, it smells awful, but it’s stupid.
Most responsible drug users do it in the privacy of their own home or somewhere safe. They don’t go out driving to the mall. They’re too high to do that s**t. Also I use the term drug loosely as I’m sure they’re referring to marijuana and marijuana is a lot less dangerous than alcohol
I Don't Think So
Trump actually put the fence up. I recently visited DC, asked a driver about it, and he told me Trump put up the fencing during the BLM protests last summer. Biden has kept it up bc of the attack on the capital in January.
A wall is entirely unnecessary, and frankly counterproductive. A functioning and reasonable CBP agency, along with an accessible and well-defined path to legal residence, would FIX the problems that a wall simply seeks to conceal.
Load More Replies...Nice Try, Libertarians.
Comparing a policy that is saving millions of lives to a policy that eradicated millions is not quite the way to go. Also, Israel is the country with the highest percentage of the vaccinated population, precisely because they are very much appreciative of the value of the life of their citizens after the experience of the Holocaust.
I was really hoping that Libertarians would be good allies against Republicans, after all the Republicans are the ones who keep trying to legislate away our freedom to vote, against transparent government, our abiliity to get jobs and to own our own property. But have found out over time that Libertarians are generally super racist and are more upset about liberals legislating equal treatment. So I've lost all respect for most Libertarians.
This goes along with the dumbasses who said Bill Gates was putting microchips in the vaccines, when BG never said that.

Even Shakespeare used they/them for single people, we all do. "Someone's left their wallet, I hope they realise before they get home'. People need to get over themselves.
I’m a translator and I regularly explain to clients why I’m using singular “they”, but this person is right that new pronouns would have merits. There are some being used by some nonbinary people (zie/zir, etc), but there isn’t enough interest among the general population.
I would like if Ze or something similar would become popular. It seems more intuitive than they.
Load More Replies...They then is correct I remember having a sub who when I was writing about someone I had met with who felt they were genderless and she kept saying to call them a she because I said she was born female when I was writing they/them.
I will call you whatever pronoun you desire, but it is factually grammatically incorrect to do so in this case.
This sentence honestly makes me think about siamese twins on a unicycle. I have no issue using a new third gender pronoun but the use of plural makes no sense.
I still think singular "they" looks strange. Feels counter-intuitive.
Yeah. I will use it because that’s the respectful thing to do. When I feel that we need to make a genderless pronoun that is singular (like it but without the bad connotations).

So, What Did You Do For Easter?
It isn't exactly, but it's heavily based off of the Pagan "Ostara", which was celebrated during the spring equinox, it was the time for fertility and new growth of the earth, and Ēostre was a Germanic pagan spring goddess. Hares/Rabbits and eggs etc were also common in Ostara celebrations. Similarl to how Christmas traditions heavily borrow from Pagan Yule traditions... Halloween from Sahmain, etc. :)
Load More Replies...Easter comes from Norse Traditions. They had a spring goddess called Ostara. When the Christians invaded, they called all the other Norse gods demons. However they loved Ostara so they made a festival in honor for her.
