The internet is a public place, which means (consider this a friendly PSA!) anything you post online could be met with a comment that outshines it and takes all the glory.

Chances are, it might even find its way to the Facebook page ‘Epic Top Comments 2.0,’ where the funniest, sharpest, and wittiest replies get their moment of fame. We’ve rounded up some of their top picks, so if you need inspiration for clever comebacks to leave on Bored Panda articles, just keep scrolling!

I wish I had even half the sharpness of these commenters who effortlessly win the internet with their replies! But if you’re like me and feeling a little daunted about landing a knockout joke, don’t worry—humor is a muscle that can be stretched. It just takes a little time, practice, and effort.

The Big Belly Comedy Club has some fantastic tips on how to be funnier—not on the stage, but in everyday conversations. The first step is finding your unique sense of humor. “In comedy, we call this finding your comedic voice,” says the club.

What does ‘finding your comedic voice’ mean exactly? Well, everyone has their own comedic style. You can tune into yours by noticing what makes you laugh and which funny thoughts pop into your mind. Maybe you’re naturally sarcastic, self-deprecating, or prefer to be uplifting. By becoming more aware of what you find funny, you can gradually start weaving it into your conversations and comments.

Pretty sure that Diesel was still known as Pete Moss. (Making a joke about Carboniferous-era geology isn't what makes me a geek; hating myself for the perpetuation of the myth that oil, as a "fossil" fuel, actually comes from fossils is.)

Remember to consider who you’re speaking to, too. “What makes your friends or colleagues laugh may not have the same effect on a different group of people,” says Big Belly Comedy Club. If you’re aiming for a funny comment, keep the context, the person who posted, and even the group in mind to nail the right tone.

For more inspiration, watch comedy shows, stand-up routines, and sitcoms. Pay attention to not just the jokes but also the timing, delivery, and wordplay. Try to incorporate some of these techniques into your own interactions, and spend time around people you find funny to pick up on what makes them shine.

And don’t underestimate the power of memorizing and having a few jokes up your sleeve. “While canned jokes are not always funny,” Big Belly Comedy Club reminds us, “having a few well-timed and appropriate jokes can lighten the mood and bring laughter to social situations.”

Looks gross but technically edible. Raw cow not so bad for the Humans. Raw pork and chicken on the other hand...not so good.

That is absolutely how a prime rib roast should be served. And it isn't cooked on a grill.

Nonsense. That needs another 30 or 40 seconds. And more mashed potatoes.

That happens when the cook grabs a pan and introduces it to the steak: Steak - pan, pan - steak. That is enough cooking, hop onto the Plate!

Not raw, just so rare it’s like it was just run through a warm room. Beats the hell out of overcooked well done dry shoe leather.

(yes I know that's rare prime rib, just how I like it, however to get in the spirit...) You can still see the marks where the jockey was hitting it

I want my steak to moo when I prod it with a fork. This looks like it would. Yummy.

This is a perfectly cooked prime rib. It's SUPPOSED to be rare. Anything past medium rare on prime rib is drastically overcooked, but rare is the traditional cook on it. Cooked more than medium rare and it loses the flavor that makes it so 😋

Tartare steak is literally ground raw cow with spices and raw eggyolk. Served on a toast. Amazing with some Earl grey tea.

How did you go from someone eating a rare piece of Prime Rib to them eating a cat!? I mean really it doesn't make any sense whatsoever! If you'd said chicken (but no one in their right mind eats chicken or pork that's not cooked to 165°F)

I can still hear it mooing. (That's actually more likely out of an oven or a sous-vide bath than off a grill BTW. Neither of which was turned on.)

I've always said that I like my beef so that a good vet can bring it back to life. This is perfection.

If the stuff in the potatoes is pot and you eat them first, you won't care about the meat

I like my steak blue, meaning it's as raw as that. However, the outside layer should be far crispier looking.

I was in a wedding where the bride & groom were so proud of the raw prime rib served at the dinner. Most of the guests only cut away and ate the small amount of "done" meat around the edge and the rest went to the kitchen as garbage. I could not believe the waste, but the bride's family thought they had provided a high class meal. Maybe the kitchen folks ground it all up and made hamburger!!!!!!!

Derek has no idea what Prime Rib is, or that you don't grill it. Poor dumb Derek. Not only has he never had one of the best cuts of beef possible, he's so ignorant of it that he's like a dog barking at sparklers.

No it's not, that meat is RAW and not fit for human consumption!

Now it’s time for practice—after all, theory will only get you so far. “Like any skill, developing your sense of humor requires practice. Look for opportunities to make others laugh, whether it’s through casual conversations, presentations, or social gatherings,” says the team at Big Belly. “The more you practice, the more comfortable and confident you will become in using humor.”

That said, don’t overdo it. Trying too hard to turn every moment into a joke can backfire and come across as desperate. “Let humor arise naturally in conversations and use it as a way to connect with others, rather than as a performance to impress,” advises Big Belly Comedy Club.

Hopefully, with these tips, you’ll be on your way to becoming the wittiest friend—and maybe, just maybe, we’ll see your clever replies on the ‘Epic Top Comments 2.0’ page soon!

Worked in a 100 yr old school. Took me a LONG time to swap out all the painted switch and outlet plates. My God people, it's a screwdriver, not a computer program. Paint the wall, by the time you get to the end the paint is dry enough to reattach the plates.
