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.

Let’s switch the conversation to you, readers. Which of these epic top comments were the funniest for you? Would you read through the comments section if these were the replies you’d find? We’d like to hear from you!

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 🤔

This was a plot point in a murder mystery I read a while ago - murder by tick-borne allergy. I assumed the author had made it up, but apparently not!

When I used to yell "WE'LL SOON TAKE OVER THE WORLD!" whenever a new product went vegan.....I was joking. Honest!...

What's in it for the tick to make me unable to eat burgers since decreasing the drive-thur line at McDonalds isn't going to help an animal whose tiny little tick legs are too short to reach the gas pedal?

Nature's way of feeding many of its creations is to have them savagely devour each other.

I swear this is real I lived in PA and one month I could not eat any meat it made me so sick. I went to the DR and they said it was just IBS but I've never felt like that before and I was itchy. After a few weeks it went away.

Correction - allergic to meat from mammals. Anything from a bird, reptile, or invertebrate is OK.

I get the joke here, but this really happened to one of my nephews. He can only eat fish/seafood or poultry. Went to Sub**y for lunch and had to go to the hospital immediately afterward. the knife they used to slice his sandwich was cross-contaminated since they only put the knives in a container with water instead of using a fresh knife.

I don't want to get bitten by a tick, but an allergic reaction to meat is preferrable to Lyme Disease. These Lone Star ticks kind of remind me of the parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, that removes the fear of cats in mice. Mice get eaten, allowing the parasite to continue it's life cycle.

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!!! 😂😂😂

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