In ancient times, almost every battle began with a verbal confrontation - two representatives of each army gathered in the field between the armies prepared for battle, and began to shower each other with insults, and the wittier each remark was, the more inspired the warriors would be for the upcoming battle. So it was in the ancient world, so it was in the early Middle Ages, so it was in the days of knights and samurai.

Now, unfortunately, this noble art is almost forgotten, and the battles have gradually moved to the internet. And still, the ability to completely demolish any opponent with just one witty phrase, to make them choke on a retort, remains no less valuable - even if it no longer brings victory on the battlefield.

There's an entire community on Reddit called r/Comebacks dedicated to the most unexpected, impactful, and incredible comebacks ever said, written, or typed. As of today, there are 14.8K members in the community, and hundreds of genuine combo-breaking masterpieces of wit.

Bored Panda has compiled for you this brilliant selection of the most popular and delightful pearls that are likely to have you in stitches. So sit back, make sure you're not chewing or drinking anything right now - and start scrolling this list! Have fun or die laughing!

"Demolished"? You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

People who don't feel a strong drive to have kids shouldn't be pressured to have them because it is "the norm". The world is overpopulated as it is. I have no qualms about those who have a strong desire to have kids having them, but I object to societal pressure on those who do not want them

The real question is how do y'all not use birth control and have unprotected sex, but still question how it happened when you become a parent

Reproduction is not some sort of higher-order skill we should all strive to. Cultures that place an outsize level of importance on people having lots of kids as if it’s some sort of life goal are dangerous.

Someone should tell @trillageee how to avoid babies. Perhaps she doesn't know she has a choice.

"Thanks, as we're on the topic of unwanted medical advice, you should probably get tested for hypertension with all that salt in your diet." Can be a good comeback.

I would say apply cold water, but I think their IQ will do it for them.
