An Insult With A Great Ending
There’s something so deeply satisfying about witnessing a perfectly timed insult (especially when you’re not on the receiving end). It almost makes you want to jot them down for future use, ready to deploy at just the right moment. But having a great comeback in your arsenal isn’t enough—you also need sharp reflexes to deliver it at the perfect time. Otherwise, the moment is lost.

Return To Sender
“Just like in every other form of performance art, there are always people who don’t know how to enjoy the show. Some want to make themselves part of it and end up heckling the comedian,” MC Youngee explains. “I’ve had my fair share of this, and most times, the comedian wins. A quick, witty comeback can completely turn the moment around and get an incredible reaction from the audience.”

Damn Is He Gonna Use Them As A Wet Wipe
He recalls one particular night when an audience member interrupted him while he was talking about marriage. “I asked him, ‘Are you married?’ He said no, so I replied, ‘I don’t answer my throwbacks.’” The crowd erupted, and the heckler backed down instantly. “Trust me, these moments come spontaneously, and more often than not, they end up being the highlight of the show.”

In High School, a friend of my friends didn't liked me. He never said it but I could feel it, a lot. At the end of the year I asked him why did he seemed to hate me, and he said : "Look, I can see you're a good person, you're funny, smart, you are a really great friend but... Every fibre in my body just scream at me to never get close to you, ever." And WOW that was both the best compliment and the worst insult ever said to my face.
