"Be careful what you post online, because it can always come back to haunt you." When I hear warnings like that, my mind immediately goes to the embarrassing selfies and videos my friends and I shared on Facebook in middle school.

Below, you’ll find some of the best roasts that have been shared in the This You Comebacks subreddit, a group dedicated to calling people out for their hypocrisy online.

The comeback is gold. I think I lost 5 pounds laughing at Klannie Oakley.
As an adult, I have to admit that I wish there were more opportunities during the day to use sick burns. No, I probably wouldn’t deliver them anyway because I’m too scared of hurting other people’s feelings. But I would think them in my head and give myself silent high-fives! Thankfully, however, many people have found the perfect place to use amazing comebacks: the internet.
The This You Comebacks subreddit is a wonderful place to share your own roasts or applaud others for theirs. In this community of over 80k members, you can find some of the most brilliant comebacks that have ever been posted online. We’re not just talking about “Yo mama” jokes or “I know you are, but what am I?” These “This you?” remarks have receipts, and they’re ready to leave politicians, celebrities and more feeling "Boom! Roasted!"
Pretty Sure He’s The King Of This Sort Of Thing
This You Dad?
If you want to know who said this, it was RicK Santorum. Don't know why they bothered to censor it. It's public record. Rick Santorum is such a vile bigoted anti-LGBTQ fanatic that his name is slang for a byproduct of sex that I won't describe here but feel free to look up "Santorum" if you feel like it.
I’m So F**king Tired…
Yup! They all depend on the heavy handed donations from the NRA as our children are slaughtered in schools all across America! These vile politicians are nothing but hypocrites and don’t care one iota about our children’s safety as it interferes with their loyalty to the NRA.
Responding to someone with a comeback is often a risky move. Especially if you’re calling them out publicly, there’s always a risk that your reply will fall flat. What if it doesn’t land? What if it’s not actually as funny out loud? Or what if you mess up the delivery and end up looking like a fool yourself? The risk is high, but the reward can be as well if you manage to pull it off!
If you need some tips for concocting a fire comeback, Kletische has shared their best pointers on their site. First of all, be sure to listen fully to what the other person has said before starting to present a comeback. You have to have all the information and understand the entire context of what they’re saying to ensure that you can burn them in the most brutal way.
This You, Jim Jordan?
Jim Jordan.. isn't he the guy that helped cover up for a paedophile at a college he worked at?
Wonder Why That Is, Jim?
Also back in 2004 gas prices were approaching $5 per gallon after Bush invaded Iraq. Am I the only one who remembers that summer?
Imagine Getting Called Out By The Official White House Account
This is one of my favorite photos of Tin Foil Green. It’s like her true self is showing. 🙃
The next tip for coming up with a sick burn is thinking of your comeback “shell.” As someone is talking and you’re considering in your head where you’ll go with a comeback, you’ll need to decide exactly which points of their argument you want to attack. Perhaps they said something embarrassing, you caught them in a lie or they made a mistake. Grasp onto that information, and combine it with an element of surprise to create the perfect comeback. After all, the best burns include a component that will shock listeners and the person being roasted, so you’ll have to be quick on your feet.
I Have Never Got Any Government Assistance
I always find it hilarious when owners claim to work "7 days a week". Nah bro. Consistently I see owners who NEVER do any real work. They delude themselves into thinking that their ideas and musings are work while the rest of us are the real workers. Work isn't daydreaming over brunch.
Gun Rights Are Great Unless People I Don't Like Have Them
But in his addled brain, trans people aren't people at all. It escapes me as to why they fixate on trans people so much. They just want to live their lives in peace without persecution. Why is the right like this? I'll never understand.
Screamy Is As Screamy Does…
While you can’t fully form a comeback without having all of the information from the other person first, you might be able to have a bit of skeleton prepared and then simply fill in the blanks to ensure you serve up the most fire comeback possible. Having a few comeback formats ready to go can also ensure that you can deliver great roasts on a moment’s notice in any different setting. And once your friends and family know that you’re the master of comebacks, they’ll be sure to watch what they say around you!
Ah Yes, The Double Standards Of Blaire White Back Again
You Can't Take Her Royal Highness There. The Hutts Are Gangsters
Much like The Illuminati, and the "Deep State", Cancel Culture is not a real thing. It's a fake thing invented to make people mad about things so the rich and powerful can control us. "Watch this thing and get angry so I can literally steal from you".
His Comment Wasn't Meant For His Party, Obviously
Ted Cruz reminds me of that neighborhood kid that would break your toy on purpose, then get his own and not let you play with his.
Unfortunately, one of the most painful aspects of being able to come up with brilliant comebacks is when they come to mind just a moment too late. Someone bumps into you on the sidewalk and yells, “Watch where you’re going!” And then they get away right before you think of a brilliant burn. Or your middle school bully leaves the bathroom just before you came up with a sick burn to roast him with. If you’re wondering why we always come up with these lines just a moment too late, thankfully, the Good Men Project has explored this frustrating experience.
Votes Against Bill That Would Send Fl Relief Funds, Then Goes On Twitter To Demand Relief Funds Be Sent To Fl
I Don't Give A F About Her
They couldn't even find a crime she committed. Before Motive. Before Method. Before opportunity, you need an actual crime. They never even found a crime. The only thing HRC was guilty of is being unlikable. Not really a crime.
Uh Oh
According to the Good Men Project, one of the reasons why we always think of brilliant comebacks when it’s too late to use them is actually because the part of our brain that we need to use to do so is still relatively new. The high functioning brain evolved fairly recently, so it can’t always work properly when a threat is perceived. If you’re being insulted by a bully or threatened by someone on the bus, you’re definitely not going to be your wittiest and most clever self at that moment. And sadly, you might miss out on the opportunity to deliver a great comeback.
A Proper “This You” Comeback

Why is pedo's name blacked out??? That stuff should be EVERYONE'S bizniss.
When Did Pronouns Become Such A Big Thing?
Dennis Prager is near the top three people I want to kick very very hard in a very very soft place.
Once the stress hormones leave us alone and we start to feel calm again, then our brains are capable of working at full capacity. We get a sense of clarity once we’re relaxed, and that’s when the great comebacks come flooding in. “I should have just said this!” Or, “Why didn’t I just say that?” It seems so obvious later, but you can’t blame yourself for not coming up with these burns sooner. Just keep them in your back pocket for next time.
Of Course There’s A Photo
I don't know the precise context here but that flag may as well be a NAZI Swastika IMO. It's a symbol of one of the worst things in our nation's history. Anyone who doesn't abhor that flag is pro-slavery and anti-American. That's what that flag means. If Arizona can go back to 1964 regarding women's rights, I reserve the right to go back to 1864 when I see that flag.

Dr. Who?
If your degree has 'doctorate' in the title, then you are a doctor. People with PhDs are generally not out there running around pretending to be MDs (shockingly, they are smart enough to know the difference!). Equally, dentists and psychiatrists are doctors but don't have MDs - I bet she wouldn't object to them calling themselves Dr.
The great thing about delivering “This you?” comebacks is that you can do it from the comfort of your own home, sitting on your couch responding to posts on X or sharing screenshots on relatives’ Facebook posts. You have time to reply to ensure you don’t misspeak, and you have the chance to provide receipts to back up your claims. These comebacks are well researched and well written. What more could you ask for?
Elon Has Been In The News A Lot Lately
Wait he's calling it "Twitter" I thought he changed the name. Personally I call it Xitter these days. Pronounced "Zitter" because it reminds me of the acne I had in Jr. High.
“Free Speech”
I never stand for the national anthem. It even gets looks in the UK, which is nice.

"Pronoun Extremists"
We should all try and misgender idiots like this as a way of showing them why pronouns indeed matter to everyone
Someone Must Have Hacked Her Account
She really is vermin. I can't wait until she loses her job in November.
Misinformation
Superbowl Halftime Show
Ah another in my top ten people to kick very hard in the softest place. Kirk is a blatant racist/sexist/homophobe and would be first to remove women's right to vote. Him and Turning Point USA want to go back to the good old days when women needed their husband's permission to open a bank account.
This Your Last Location?
I just want to point out that Kemp represents Georgia. A state that does NOT border another country. I am absolutely sick of people from states with no border with Mexico complaining about the border with Mexico. STFU. This is OUR thing.

That's Right, Nicki
Another example of confusing correlation with causation. The friend might have gotten the vaccine and then, unrelated to it, developed a testicular torsion or something like that. He friend was lucky though to find out his partner would not support him in case of sickness before the wedding.

The Turd Delivers Yet Again
Catturd is an infamous right wing troll. He's like a boss level troll. He's like Tom Green at his peak mixed with a dose of Jackass and a dash of meth. Catturd is truly one of the worst people on the internet. The only reason Catturd isn't Epstein level scum is because AFAIK he's never sexually assaulted anyone or participated in human trafficking. I'm not ruling that out, I just don't know if he's ever done it or not.

TBH who would want to kill Muskrat? Pretty presumptive. I hate his guts but I'm just enjoying his implosion. I truly love watching his empire collapse.
What Could Go Wrong?
The Trump supporters who falsely believe Biden is persecuting a political opponent seem to be completely oblivious to the fact that Trump was impeached for trying to bribe the Ukrainian president into opening a criminal investigation into his 2020 political opponent, Biden.
Swing And A Miss
GOP always vote against anything the Democrats put up. They should propose all senators and congress people get a $20k pay rise...then watch the GOP implode at the thought of saying no.
The Right's Hypocrisy On Full Display
Anyone who thinks Biden is left-wing, let alone extreme left, is an absolute looney tune who should be institutionalised and studied by top men.

Isn't that second post from 2011, or am I reading it wrong? I'm betting a lot has changed in his life for such a change in perspective.
This You?
At Least This Time, She Didn’t Ask If You Know Who Her Father Was
That's what happens when you hang out in redneck bars Meghan. Or down by the docks. The rest of us around the beltway are classier than you could ever comprehend with your pea sized brain.

This was actually depressing and I feel a little soiled after reading these, as funny and ironic as they were.
I had to quit reading after # 7. Too depressing and enraging.

in short, conservatives are hypocrites? that's my takeout from here...?
Why do the politicians look like disgraced Christian televangelists?
Because the only real difference is the venue in which they tell their lies.
