25 of the Best Internet Comebacks Ever

Source: @OldSpice / @tacobell on Twitter

If you, like me, have a cold, cold heart, you should come and warm yourself by the fire with these hot burns. The internet is a strange place. If we’re not dunking on each other politically or philosophically, we’re trying to one-up each other with jokes. And that sounds cynical, because it is, but it’s also kind of a lot of fun.

Often times, a solid Twitter reply, for instance, will gain so much heat that the person getting dunked on will erase the original tweet, but screenshots are forever. To be good-natured, we’ve covered up the screen names of any such deleted bits. After all, we can’t start taking the internet too seriously.

25. Holy crap

(The original tweet came from a woman who maybe didn’t realize what she was walking into.)

24. Just jealous

My favorite thing about this Grinch account is that it was made when the movie came out and then just vanished.

23. Naming names

It’s almost like common names can be found in any region?

22. Shots fired

This is almost too brutal to laugh at. Almost.

21. Think outside the burn

Brands, BRANDS, you’re both pretty!

20. Flat out awful

Maybe you should just go away, Chris.

19. Deep dive

Don’t mess with a journalist, they’ll do their research.

18. Give him some space

This one is definitely in my top 8.

17. Stuck in the middle

Another “I have money and you don’t” burn that’s hard to be mad about.

16. Don’t cross me

This is a bridge too far.

15. First languages

Clearly she meant speak American. Yanno, talk about guns and stuff.

14. Safety second

And just like Jurassic Park, we literally never learn.

13. Special delivery

(Club = team for all my fellow basic Americans.)

12. Social predictions

Don’t hold back, king.

11. Deep breaths

I might be suffocating but these download speeds are tight.

10. Packing heat

It was planted on me, I swear.

9. Cold shoulder

Every doctor: “This is way worse than a cold or the flu.”
Your cousin: “Nu uh.”

8. Well actually

If he was around to hear this conversation he’d cut off his ear all over again.

7. Desperate measures

Get bent, bruh.

6. Just kidding

Nothing better than when you can turn around a yo mama joke.

5. Born and raised

“If we went back to using obsolete techniques and technologies, people would be confused.” – a boomer’s idea of a sick burn.

4. Don’t cry for me

If being a man means I don’t get to care about my own parents then screw it, I’m a wombat.

3. Granting wishes

That kid is going to be a lawyer when she grows up.

2. Can’t take the heat

But…but…I saw a meme somewhere that said…

1. The winter of our inconvenience

We’re so insular we literally forget there are other countries.

Phew. It’s nice and toasty in here now.
