Someone Asks People To Share The Best Comebacks They’ve Heard, They Deliver 40 That Burned The Most

Do you know what sounds better than a really savage insult? A fatal comeback. One that completely shuts down your opponent, ending your exchange right then and there, and leaving no room for interpretation about who the winner is.

Interested in one-liners that can achieve all of this, Reddit user u/random-joe-shmoe submitted a question to the platform, asking: "What is the greatest comeback to an insult you've ever heard?" and people delivered.

Turns out, some of us actually have the superpower to come up with a brilliant response on the spot and not the shower three days later. Continue scrolling and check out some of the best replies to the post!

Male colleague comes in, after putting up with her for a bit, looks at her and says, ‘Are you on your period or something?’. She turns around and stony-eyed says, ‘I woke up in a pool of blood and if you don’t shut up, you’ll end your day the exact same way.’ Never respected her until then.

Is it cheating to use one of my own?

I work in construction and a lot of the guys are exactly what you would expect from construction workers. There was one particularly loud one on this job. He would always go on about drinking and how much he drinks and the ensuing consequences. He went so far as to say he's never sold a car; he wrecks them, usually while drunk driving.

I just recently purchased a house and another guy was asking me about it. The loud guy heard this and said, "What the f**k? I'm a journeyman and all I can afford is a basement suite in Langford (which is far away and considered sub optional). You're just an apprentice, how can you afford a house?"

And I just said, "I don't have any drinking stories."

This happened about 5 years ago now. There was this one annoying kid in my math class in high school. Being loud, ignoring the teacher. He was mixed race, only bringing this up because it’s related. He’s talking rather loudly with a guy next to him. Teacher tells him “shut the hell up.” Kid makes a point that he’s half black and being mean to him is racist (some stupid s**t like that.) Teacher looks him dead in the eyes and says “I was talking to your white half, stupid.” Hands *down my favorite teacher.

We get up to where another crew is working on machines, and these guys are assholes. They seriously act like they are Gods gift to construction, so the conversation goes as this.

Me: can y’all move over for a second so we can get by?

Back in high school, I was in the orchestra. We went on several big national trips each year.

One year, a group of upper classmen were busted for pot in their hotel room. Everyone except one guy was suspended and prohibited to attend future trips.

The one guy who wasnt in trouble apparently hid in the shower and played dumb, and they believed him.

So a week later the entire orchestra is practicing with the teaching assistant when our conductor enters the practice room, and in front of the entire 114 members of the orchestra, says "Jason, all your friends ratted you out. They're mad. I'm mad. You played me like a fiddle."

"That's what I play," Jason replied, raising his violin.

Someone Asks People To Share The Best Comebacks They've Heard, They Deliver 40 That Burned The Most I work at a hotel. A few years ago this guest got into a spat with our security officer over something, but she wasn't getting whatever she wanted so she told him he was full of s___

Our security officer replied immediately, "no I'm not, I took care of that this morning. But thank you for your concern for my good health and regularity." At this time I was about to bust up laughing so I had to excuse myself to the back office, and as I was leaving I heard him continuing on with this lady, deadpan, "but I promise I eat a healthy diet full of fiber. It warms my heart to know you're concerned with me having regular bowel movements. So the next time I'm constipated I know you're thinking of me," It continued on and on, and all the more he's playing this deadpan and it's making the lady madder and madder, and I'm in the back laughing so hard I'm nearly crying.

After that spiel was over though she didn't give us anymore problems the rest of the night.

So I replied with “oh so you’re just stupid then?”

Back in the day, being openly gay could be downright dangerous, but George didn’t really gaf. Someone called him a queen and he responded, “I’ll have you know: my mother is still alive, which makes me a princess!”

Once worked w a “Karen” who was actually named Karen. In addition to being a b!tch on wheels, she was also next level morbidly obese. One day, I was on the phone with one of our clients who, in the course of the conversation, complained about her to me. I took the complaint to our team lead. She said, “Yeah, I get a lot of complaints about her, but she says the clients don’t like her because she’s heavy.” Before I could stop myself, I shot back with, “But Jo, if I were blind I’d still think she’s a b!tch!”

My brother was in his history class that just happened to have accumulated all the really disruptive and not-so-intelligent kids. They'd constantly interrupt and make the class hell, and the teacher didn't really do anything about it.

One day, a girl who had caused a ton of problems acted up in the usual way to derail the class and he had had enough. He turned to her and told her to shut up and she flipped. The teacher told her to be careful what she says to him, because she might be working for him one day. My brother turns to the teacher and goes, "Nah, I don't plan on being a pimp."

The class loses it, the teacher has to step out from laughing, and that girl apparently didn't bother my brother for the rest of the year.

When I was in high school I had an ancient history class with a teacher named Mr. O'Neil. He was a really educated and well-spoken (but quiet) younger guy, a bit chubby with clurly blond hair, and liked wearing bow ties.

In this same class was this kid named Jake, who was one of those kids that always acted like a smartass to every teacher in order to try and get a laugh. He was so annoying he actually had a stapler thrown at his direction by another teacher, which is a whole other story I told the other day.

Anyway, I remember one day Mr. O'Neil was having trouble reaching the string to pull down the screen for the projector. He would make little jumps and swat at the string, but just barely couldn't get it. Jake noticed and saw an opportunity so he yelled out, "What's the matter Mr. O'Neil, can't reach?" Him and his buddies chuckled to themselves like a bunch of goons in the corner. Mr. O'Neil replied, "No, Jake. I'm just getting my morning exercise." and then he started touching his toes.

It wasn't the most clever comeback, but coming from a guy like Mr. O'Neil it was pretty hilarious. More importantly, it shut Jake up and a majority of the class started laughing at him. Mr. O'Neil became a bit of a hero for being the guy to shut down one of the annoying smart ass kids that would always disrupt class.

I can't remember the best one I've heard, but I can remember the best comeback I ever did. It is also, in fact, the only good comeback I ever did. I was in 7th grade, and we were in the locker room after gym. People were discussing shoe sizes because this one kid had enormous feet. I don't know if I have small feet, but mine were the smallest. They said, "Small feet, you know what that means!" I didn't mind too much, but one kid crossed the line. He said, "Don't worry, fella, there's like 10 different ways to make it bigger." So I said, "Have you tried all 10?"

Not very impressive, but it shut him up.

I was 14 or 15 and had a quiet nerdy friend with really bad acne. My older brother had these three friends, all brothers 2, 3, & 4 years older than me and my friend. They were all gangsta, & started their own gang, which I always thought was really funny. Me and my friend walked in the front door my brother and his friends were all sitting at the TV playing Halo. One of the brothers looked at my friend and said "holy s**t Sam, I got two words for you ACNEEE PADS" Sam replied "Cool and I got two words for you Johnny SPEECH THERAPY" The guy had a pretty bad stutter. He jumped right up and started trying to fight my friend. As long as I could remember after that he wanted to fight Sam, but we just ignored them. I dunno why this stuck with me for so long, it was such perfect delivery and shut down of a bully.

I'd have to save my own. I had this one teacher in high school who taught computer classes and I had taken almost every class she offered so I knew her very well and we mostly just goofed off in her class as long as we got our work done. I was trying to date her daughter throughout all of high school and everyone knew including her and every time I met something up or made a fool of myself she would hit me with "and that's why you don't have a girlfriend" this became a trend and about 4 weeks after it was a thing she said it to me one last time and I hit her back with "That's why you can't keep a man" she had been through about five marriages and had one kid with each and everyone knew because she talked about it before. As soon as I said that she got red and chuckled and the whole class stopped what they were doing and stared at me like I slapped her straight across the face. One of the over-dramatic kids even ran out of classroom hollering.

Here's one I learnt from a video about Medieval female royal jesters. I don't remember exactly now, so the details might be a bit off, but here we go. In a theatre (I think), a jester lady set next to a noble lady. The noble lady said "I don't want a fool to be sitting on my right". The Jester then switched seats to the lady's left and said "I don't mind."

The Wizard of Oz had played on tv the previous night, so the next day, while in class my teacher said to me, a little Black girl, "Didn't I see your family on tv last night? The flying monkeys?" I shot back, "Probably. We did used work for your mother." I knew I'd get away with it, because he'd have to tell what he said to me first. I despised that man.
