    Tom Arnold's response to Roseanne Barr.


    Whenever the toxic relationship between Tom Arnold and Roseanne Barr post break up is mentioned, the tendency is for the discussion to favor Roseanne because she's the one who went on to superstardom for a time.


    However, Arnold absolutely hit a brutal bullseye some years back when she ridiculed the size of his pp on SNL, saying it was only three inches.


    Shortly thereafter, while appearing on Letterman, Arnold delivered this scathing clap back:


    "Even a 747 looks small when you're flying over the Grand Canyon." 


    Ouch. That's how you fire back.

    69 Times People Saw Roasts So Good They Had To Share Them With Others Back in the day of Modern Warfare 2 I was playing some search and destroy when a young kid started talking, so naturally everybody in the lobby starts giving him a hard time.

    This one guy tells the kid "shut up kid, I bet you're fat" and the kid responded "I'm only fat because every time I do your mom she gives me a cupcake". I had a good laugh at that one.

    This is more like "most brutal" rather than "best," but...

    Sixth grade math class. Ms. Teacherlady was brand new, first year, smoking hot, and kind of a jerk sometimes if we got on her nerves.

    At the desk to my right was a kid who we'll call Robbie because his name was Robbie. Robbie, sadly, obviously had some issues at home. He always smelled bad, wore the same clothes every day, etc. Worse than zero social skills. I felt bad for him, even though he was constantly obnoxious and generally a pain to be around.

    One day, Ms. Mathboobies was writing a problem on the board, made a mistake, realized it, said "Oops," and began to correct it. Robbie pounced. "Hah! Nice going!"

    Without turning around, Ms. Smokinbooty replied, under her breath but still plenty loud for everyone to hear, "At least I don't sit by myself at lunch."
