15 Times People’s Reply to a Post Made the Post 100% Better

Sometimes what makes a post truly legendary isn’t the post itself, but the response. I made a joke on Facebook the other day that I thought was pretty funny, but when a friend commented an absolutely perfect response, I conceded that “what I wrote was the setup and this is the punchline I didn’t even realize it needed.”

I think you could kind of say the same for these Tumblr posts. The original is fun, but the reply(s) make it clear that only through collaboration could the bit be complete.
