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.
This... this guy is real... I thought it was those net adds that always use the same people...
Fresh fruits, fresh veggies, yeah... that's easily gonna cost your first born
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.
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.
The trick is, to leave the drink until the end. I've done this before.
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.”
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.
Load More Replies...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!
(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 😋
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)
Load More Replies...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.)
Lot better when they moo then you know it's farm fresh
Load More Replies...It's actually raw because fat is raw. You can serve a "bleu" beef but fat must be cooked.
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
Put a bit of horseradish sauce next to it and that’s the perfect dinner! I’m salivating rn
Looks like under-grilled toast to me with a dollop of raspberry jam.
I'd be more worried about that gollop of white c**p next to the meat . . . !
That is not even remotely cooked, the blood is still clotting. Serve that to me and itsgoing back into the flames.
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!!!!!!!
Not Raw. That is mid rare prime rib... and I now want prime rib
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.”
Me too, and I'm a vegetarian. I'd be there cheering them on!! VEGAN KARENS!!!
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.
And whenever you reach into the drawer for a spoon without looking, it's always the one you get first.
Of all the garbage shows my wife makes me watch this one irks me the most. Just terrible acting, terrible plots, terrible dialogue, ridiculous clown costumes. Just complete garbage.
I think that hiding dark mode behind a premium paywall is an absolute garbage move.
I'm not at all tech-minded and have no idea what dark mode even is.

If I want dark mode I can just lower my screen brightness. Job done.
Why is so much of Bored Panda a repeat of what I read the last time I read Bored Panda?
"Dark Reader" works (on my desktop), it's a browser extension. I've given up going through any BP on my tablet, the ads are unbearable.
Fun but way too many posts bashing food just for being vegan. Seriously, try it. I'm not saying become vegan, I'm just saying, TRY THIS FOOD. It's absolutely amazing.
I'm not vegan, but I eat some vegan food. But I eat meat as well. I only have meat or fish once a day.

Or, and please hear me out, they're just tongue-in-cheek jokey comments.
