The comments sections of social media posts can sometimes be cesspools of negativity. But they can also be a comedy goldmine of witty remarks and clever banter between users.

Enter the Epic Top Comments 2.0 Facebook page. It’s an assortment of screenshots featuring post replies with self-deprecating humor, facetious one-liners, and quips that sting in the funniest way possible. With 340,000 followers keeping the content coming, there is no scarcity of laughs here. 

We’ve picked some of the best wisecracks about the 2024 Olympics, questionable condiment decisions, and traumatic employment experiences. If you want to be a bit naughty in the comment boxes, here are some examples you can emulate.

Deadpan humor makes these comments tolerable despite their slightly harsh tone. In a nutshell, deadpan humor is delivering a joke or witty remark with very minimal emotion. 

Deadpan humor seems more effective via text, where detecting the sentiment behind the delivery is more difficult.

My husband struggles with subtitles... he's dyslexic. As around one in ten people are, that's going to be a lot of people who struggle with subtitles for very good reasons. Though personally I like them, but then I'm a bit deaf!!

Thank goodness we all find different people attractive. Chances are you’d die in the crush or die old and single otherwise. I’m still going down the old and single route anyway!

Unlike slapstick or topical humor in sketch comedies, deadpan humor is about wit and wordplay. Through intellect and irony, it urges its viewers to think beyond the obvious. 

Some famous names who have incorporated dry humor into their comedy acts are the late great Norm Macdonald, “Mr. Bean” Rowan Atkinson, Sarah Silverman, and Aubrey Plaza.

Deadpan humor isn’t for everyone. According to an article by Tampa-based comedy club Side Splitters, it tends to appeal more to people with an intellectual and witty outlook.

These people are known to have a keen sense of irony and enjoy juxtaposing life’s mundanity with sharp-witted observations.

However, the unique flavor that dry humor brings can also be the source of its potential risks. As the article points out, the subtlety of delivery and the irony may lead to confusion. Some people may even take offense.

Dry humor may also be overused, creating a disconnect with the audience. For this reason, veteran comedians vary the delivery of their jokes or switch up their comedy styles to preserve the effectiveness of their punchlines.

Taking the joke to the next level: By using ticks as their weapon, the vegans are exploiting animals for their own agenda, thereby violating their own principals. The vegans are no longer vegans. Edit: violating principles, of course. Autocorrect thought that violating principals was the more likely option 🤔

I don’t keep my phone on silent because I’ve just never been able to feel phones vibrating. But I do have it set to automatically turn on do not disturb when I should be in bed. Edit: Well, I’m stupid. Of course silent or vibrate are different. I wasn’t thinking at all. But yeah, still don’t use silent except when I actually need to because I want notifications???

My experience is that women don't seem to notice them either so it's a tiebreaker.

Absolutely LOVED seeing Snoop at the Olympics. Almost as much as watching the US news services putting a disclaimer saying that there were two ways to read the medal tally!!! 😂😂😂

I always wondered about that (if it was his given name). Talk about living up to your name!

Err I shave, I am naturally quite hairy and I don't like body hair. Shaving everything below my neck takes time.

No, definitely not a dream of mine. What a waste of plastic and helium.

Henry Ford attributes all evil to Jews or to the Jewish capitalists," . "The Jews caused the war (WW1), the Jews caused the outbreak of thieving and robbery all over the country, the Jews caused the inefficiency of the navy" Such a nice guy.....
