50 Epic Burns That Don’t Even Feel Like Insults Because Of How Genius They Are (New Pics)
There are different ways you can get insulted on the internet. You might get "ratioed" if your message gets way more comments than "likes". You might not receive any "likes" at all – and that might be the worst insult of all, especially if you were trying to be funny. But perhaps the most impactful and creative are still clever comebacks.
Bored Panda has dug up some gems from all over the internet where people got roasted by other netizens so bad they might need to apply some ice to their burns. Some people just have a way with words, so, check out these hilarious insults that the Shakespeares of the Internet came up with!

Sounds About Right
Internet comes with its own rules of communication and etiquette. But one thing remains the same as it is in real life: arguing. People like to prove their point when they're lurking in the comment section, and Millennials might be the age group that does it most.
According to a 2017 survey, 33% of Millennials said they get into fights online often or at least sometimes. Still, most Americans don't think online arguments are worth their time. More than half (55%) of the respondents said they don't ever have disagreements with people online. 24% admitted that it happens, but rarely.

Qatar got sanctions on Syria lifted the very next day after they offered the jet to Trump. And that's been on the Qatari wish list for a long time.

well, here's the thing. trump seems to have a pathological hatred of nature and the environment. so he probably thinks the pollution is a good thing.

The statue of liberty has been able to be enjoyed by everyone (thank you, france). The stupid plane is mainly for the benefit of one guy (and possibly Qatari intelligence, and whoever they'll share any provided or collected intelligence with). It would also reportedly cost a billion dollars or more to get it retrofitted for use as air force one. The jerk in chief just wants a fancy plane and he doesn't want anyone else to be able to use it when he's done. He is a toddler.

That 12 y.o. jet that they've been trying to get rid of since 2020? That huge white elephant that has to be stored at a cost several thousand Riyal every day, have its engines run up every week to run its electrical systems, and will cost about a billion to renovate into a secure Air Force One? That one?

I wouldn't bother. It's too big to land at most smaller airports. Rumour is they've been trying to get rid of it for a while now because it's a bit of a white elephant.

Here's the fun part: It's not a gift (I mean bribe, which is repulsive and illegal) -- the Qataris said they'd sell it to the US for $400,000,000 and Trump said great because it would be retrofitted in time for him to enjoy it. He was mad because Boeing wasn't going to have the two new Air Force Ones that had been ordered ready for delivery before 2027. He didn't want to waaaaaaiiiiiiiit.... so the US will spend $400,000,000 and hide the payment, I guess, in some DoD account, probably as "snacks." The Qataris unloaded their white elephant and got millions of free dollars. That's our "Art of the Deal" guy at his shining best.
Forrest Hobbs 6 months ago
I can't find a source saying the Qataris have sold the 747 to the US. I have found an article explaining that "costs could range from $750 million to over $1 billion, with a timeline stretching at least four to five years" - so, erm, not much use to Trump in office... https://aviationsourcenews.com/air-farce-one-the-exorbitant-cost-of-refitting-a-qatari-boeing-747-8/

Has anyone told Trump that the Qataris have tried to sell the plane, but no one wanted it. They're giving it to Trump to get rid of the expense of maintaining the piece of junk.
Douglas Tucker 6 months ago
Just talking about the costs to retrofit the plane to U.S. security standards for an Airforce One, no right thinking business person (Not Mr. Ego) would go for this art of the deal prize. The b.s. of it serving only 47 while in office and then he gets to keep it is pure horse pucky.

Besides, the US government doesn't meet inside the statue, so there is little or no risk that France can use it to spy on the president and the government.

Rinso The Red 6 months ago
It was kind of a gift. They had to have fund raisers to get enough to finish the project if I recall correctly.
Forrest Hobbs 6 months ago
The fundraising was to build the plinth to mount the statue - what the French supplied was complete. I've read (but can't find an on-line source to confirm) that the stone used to build the plinth was sourced from England and carried across the Atlantic as ship ballast, that being the cheapest way to get suitable stone to New York City at the time.

Yes, but: when Trump leaves office, the Qatari 747 will be transferred to the Trump Presidential Library for Trump's personal use. "Maga influencers have described the move as a "bribe", grift, or an example of the high-level corruption that Trump himself has consistently promised to root out." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg4zk22n9wo

Sadly, probably none of us are strangers to insults and verbal put-downs, especially on the internet. The Pew Research Center reported in 2021 that about four in 10 Americans have reported online harassment. Most respondents cite politics as the top reason why they might be targeted.
Younger people also say they experienced online harassment more often. A whopping 64% of Americans under 30 have experienced some form of it. 49% of folks aged 30-49 say the same, and only 21 people aged 65 and older admit they've been victims of some sort of harassment on the internet.

We know it happens; people insult each other. Whether it's face-to-face or through a device screen, they usually hurt. We all can probably appreciate a carefully-crafted and humorous roast that's targeted at someone else, but what's the psychology behind insulting people in general? Are we just looking for ways to express our pent-up anger or is there any kind of self-serving reasoning in the act?

Sometimes, insults can be about superiority. Evolutionary psychologist Nigel Barber, Ph.D. explains that we insult someone when they threaten our social standing. "[An insult is] an attempt to reduce the social status of the recipient and raise the relative status of the insulter," he writes for Psychology Today.

We're also exhibiting more and more narcissistic traits, which might be the fault of social media. Even in 2009, researchers have observed a rise in narcissistic traits in college students. Now, more than 15 years and many new social media platforms later, our self-esteem and egos are closely tied to our social media personas. And we feel like insults are the most effective way to defend them.

I Can’t Lie. The Comment Sections Always Make Me Laugh
Insulting someone on the Internet is also easier on us. It doesn't make us feel that bad insulting a person's appearance if we can't see their reaction in real-time. Even if an insult is clever and we get cheered on by fellow netizens, we don't see the micro expressions on the other person's face. So, insulting someone on the internet can make us bolder, more reckless, and, ultimately, mean.

She Called Me The N Word After That And Blocked Me
Nigel Barber explains that societies evolve to regulate those who dispense insults. "Effective communities maintain solidarity by keeping direct insults to a minimum," he writes. "Hence the elaborate traditions of politeness and respect found in real-world communities of the past; people behaved that way to avoid unnecessary anger, disputes, and violence."

This Is A Burn
We might think that comebacks are the perfect weapon against insults. But psychiatrist Neel Burton, M.D., writes that it might not be so. By roasting someone back, we're stooping to their level. "This gives them, their behaviour, and their insult far too much legitimacy," the psychiatrist believes.

This Might Be A Crime Scene
Instead, Burton says, comebacks and roasts should exist only between friends and in good faith. When we clap back only for the sake of humor and not with the intent to insult someone, a comeback is at its most effective. "The witty put-down does have a place, but only among friends, and only to add to the merriment," Burton adds.

I think it depends. My friends and I roast each other all the time and no one ever takes it seriously, it’s just light hearted teasing 😊 it actually releases bonding hormones in your brain for some reason haha. Seriously being rude and making fun of someone is pretty low, but sometimes a good comedic roast is great, as long as it’s not malicious and everyone finds it funny 😊 I wouldn’t say it’s the “only way” we find humour in our lives, at all. Most people find a whole range of things funny. I particularly like videos of animals being silly 😊 Don’t be depressed about it - it’s not as bad as it seems!
