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.

I'd be more concerned about those radioactive presents by the fireplace. Looks like they're about to reach critical mass.

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.”

"Not this time, but feel free to ask me again in future." or "Maybe." or "Try a little harder." Say No when you mean no, because the rest of us are working on getting people to listen.

If you play games, you lose out. If I asked a female out and she said no, that would be it. I wouldn't ask her out again.

Did I say that out loud? (he/him)cis/het

I doubt that they would be that bothered. Women,understandably, can get a little pįssed off being referred to as "female."

If he had asked again she would have complained because he was stalking her. Some people have too much free time and no real problems on life, so they need to create some drama.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. No means no, he's a cool dude, and dodged a bullet! EDIT: but it's also OK to change your mind. But he showed you he's interested; if you decided you are too, after all, there's literally nothing stopping you from asking him out.

I have no idea what to do any more... Oh, WAIT! I know! New rule. Sadie Hawkins Day is now year round and men are strictly verboten from pursuing women. Women are now legally bound to chase men (Single, unmarried, and at least 21 years of age) if they are interested in a relationship. Anyone under the age of 18 must only pursue those of relatively same age. Once in a relationship everything must be consensual, breaking this rule is grounds for life imprisonment without parole. Have fun, be kind, and remember, pizza is a highly effective bait. Also this is effective immediately.

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.

Growing as much hair as possible, everywhere else they can, seems to be a phenomenon that has been shared by many men who can’t grow hair on their heads since time immemorial. Look at old family pictures, or your parents’/grandparents’ old yearbooks. I guarantee there’s at least ONE relative or teacher in those pictures who looks like a cue ball on top and Chewbacca from the scalp down,

So I looked this up and it's a thing :) So, what exactly is the “love button” at Cava? The love button is used to brighten people’s days. “We have this button on our cash register called the ‘love button,’” David Garcia, manager of the Huntsville Cava explained to CNBC. “Sometimes, we’ll use the button if we notice someone’s having a bad day, or if they forgot their wallet, or if we see a customer who’s always in our store. We try to use the button at least twice a day.”

No need for this. The Mythbusters proved that you can actually wear a tuxedo under your wetsuit and still emerge from the water perfectly pressed and ready to seduce and/or assassinate someone.

Because the same girls who think it's ok for them to go thru a guy's phone would accuse said guy of being controlling and abusive if he did the same to them.
