“Kamikaze By Words”: 35 Epic Comebacks From People Who Destroyed Themselves In The Process (New Pics)
Sometimes, you need self-deprecating insults to deliver a menacing final blow. It’s similar to a boxing match when a fighter takes one to the chin to land a counter-knockout punch to seal the deal.
The list you’re about to read through shows exactly that: people taking slight jabs at themselves to ultimately make a more impactful comeback to end the conversation. A lot of these hilarious exchanges are courtesy of the Kamikaze By Words subreddit, showing the sharp wit that many people possess.

Time To Join Art School
Ryan Mercer 1 year ago (edited)
I own a truck. Not because I'm a "truck guy," but because I need one to do things. It's a tool for hauling gravel, tree waste, recycles, and a horse trailer. It's a vital snow plow in the winter so we aren't stranded in our home. The Cyber Truck is the dumbest truck ever. You can't even put the spare underneath -- it takes up a full third of the bed. The bed closure will jam with bits of gravel. The cargo net hooks require a step stool to reach over the high angled sides. Why do I need "wade" mode? Will I be evacuating survivors from flood waters? Why do I need bullet proofing? I'll let your imaginations roam. What I need is an affordable tool that gets the job done. At $60k for the base model, how much extra for a plow mount? It's very telling that a lot of buyers are rich Hollywood types looking for a status symbol, but I fail to see how it confers any actual status. Dumbest truck ever.

Self-deprecating humor has brought success to many comedians. Bored Panda spoke to comic Ariane Sherine in a previous piece. For her, such light put-downs of oneself are acceptable if you draw the line between comedy and reality.
It’s a strategy that many successful comedians today utilize. Some of these famous names include Louis C.K., Bill Burr, John Mulaney, Jim Norton, Marc Maron, and Mark Normand, to name a few.

Some Funny Texts
Mark Normand has been doing stand-up since 2006. He’s achieved relative success with appearances on Conan, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, and the Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. Here’s one of his stand-up bits where he talked about how “evil” his brain is.
“My brain is evil. It attacks me. It’s like a bully. I’ll be at a party, hanging out, and everybody’s having a good time, talking. My brain’s like, ‘Hey, you weirdo, you’re being too quiet. Everybody’s wondering why you’re such a quiet weirdo. Come on. Get in there, say something, you lunatic.
“‘Come on, you freak. Jump in, you psycho. Come on, get in there.’ Then you finally say something, and your brain goes, ‘Whoo… that’s what you picked?’”

Giving me flashbacks to a conversation with my former boss (I'm medically "retired"). Walked in one day to "You'll never guess what I did with [supplier's online] portal yesterday." I thought for a second and then rattled off a thing I had done myself a few months earlier. She kind of blinked a bit, told me that was oddly specific, and exactly what she had done yesterday. So I say "At least you didn't make a complete fool of yourself and ring them asking why it wouldn't work." "Oh, I did..." Yeah, we were both idiots too. I just assumed someone who used the portal more than her would have pointed it out to her *before* she rang the company... You know, since I got laughed at when it happened to me and I was nice enough to tell everyone, before they encountered it too.
Chicago-based comedian John Mulaney has a deep, impressive résumé, which includes two Primetime Emmy Awards and a successful Netflix special. However, he rose to prominence as a Saturday Night Live cast member. Here’s his self-deprecating stand-up bit about looking older.

Experts consider self-deprecating humor as a healthy form of expression. A 2018 study found an association between having the ability to laugh at oneself and higher anger control. These people are likewise believed to be more capable of reducing outbursts toward others.
From a layman’s point of view, self-deprecation isn’t just a sign of humility. Many see it as a form of high emotional intelligence, and the ability to handle an awkward situation by taking the heat is a personality trait that usually makes a person likable.

Just because X can contain more information, doesn't make it superior. Is the longest essay in the world the best essay? Is the thickest book the best book? Also, by this logic, intersex people with XXXXY syndrome or Pentasomy X should be superior to everyone else, because they have 3 extra chromosomes, so their DNA can contain waaaaay more info.

MaximumKarmaSaint 1 year ago
I get the roast but I'd just like to say that if you're on a team without support, you're probably going to lose, badly...which I guess also works for the family thing.
But the flip side shows how self-deprecating humor could be more detrimental than beneficial. York University student Danielle Russell wrote an essay entitled “Self-deprecatory Humour and the Female Comic: Self-destruction or Comedic Construction?” where she pointed out how it almost panders to the audience.
“Self-deprecation can be construed as a form of self-censorship. Satire is directed towards the self rather than confronting external targets. In a sense, it is a form of accommodation – accommodating the perceptions of others.”

For some people, self-deprecation comes naturally. Often, they fail to notice when they are doing it. For Harley Therapy founder and clinical director Dr. Sheri Jacobson, it could be a sign of a deeper emotional issue.
“If you get told that you often self-deprecate, and that seems surprising to you, then it is more likely a case of low self-esteem,” she said, pointing out that having a deflated concept of oneself can lead to a deep, “serious” depression.

I wouldn't be surprised if in 50 year's time we find out that wearing sunglasses does have a (tiny) effect on how your body responds to sunlight damage on your skin. I mean, there are lots of biological mechanisms that get triggered by things like light, like when the light in your room is slowly increasing in the morning that triggers processes in your body to prepare for getting up. So your brain getting the signal that there's really strong light so it should start preparing your system to get ready to heal skin damage, wouldn't be far fetched. Not enough that you don't need sunscreen though, obviously.

But does this mean that you should never use self-deprecating humor? Not necessarily. Like in all things, context matters. A good example pointed out by Harvard Business Review was a statement from John F. Kennedy in 1958, two years before he was elected president.
At the time, JFK took flak from critics who claimed that his wealthy father, Joseph P. Kennedy, would buy votes and swing the election in their favor. The younger Kennedy had this to say in response:
“I just received the following wire from my generous daddy: ‘Dear Jack, don’t buy a single vote more than is necessary. I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay for a landslide.’”

Ultimately, it’s all about finding balance. While self-deprecation for the sake of humility and breaking the ice isn’t harmful, experts also remind us about knowing when it becomes too much negative self-talk.
Journaling is one recommended practice for self-awareness. As New York-based therapist Jill E. Daino points out, “While not everyone likes to use it, it can be very helpful in reframing negative thought patterns.”
