When it comes to the internet, opinions flow freely, and sticks and stones mean nothing because words have all the power. Let’s be real—on social media, a cleverly crafted burn from a stranger can sting like a thousand paper cuts.
From razor-sharp zingers to witty comments, these savvy wordsmiths have mastered the art of the savage comeback and we can’t get enough. Prepare to be entertained by these epic roasts!
Back to Basics
The internet has provided a space for fans of just about anything to get together and chat about their beloved topic of choice. Need a recommendation for a niche sci-fi romance movie or a novel about space? Social media has you covered.
This person probably should have spelled their inquiry out better if they were looking for a serious response. They should master the basics first before moving on to the big leagues.
Florida Man
People do the craziest things. We can guarantee that even the most unimaginable scenario of wild behavior you can think of, has already been done before—probably by someone in Florida.
If you search “Florida Man” and your birthday, or any date you like, you’ll be hit with tons of headlines from that day of Floridians getting into all kinds of trouble. Congratulations to the Sunshine State for earning the most ridiculous reputation there is.
Busting the Wrong Guy
Back in the days before Netflix ruled the movie scene, we would pick up our DVDs in person at Blockbuster. Sure, it was inconvenient, but the trip to the store was always part of the fun
Nowadays, all these subscription services are causing trouble by raising their prices and changing their rules. But beefing with the Blockbuster social media intern isn’t going to get you anywhere—the poor people behind those accounts probably don’t even get paid.
Stay True to Yourself
For some people, using pet names is a force of habit. Most of the time they’re not to be taken seriously, but you just never know who might take them the wrong way.
Jeff tried to be sassy after getting riled up by being called “buddy”, but he proved to be no match for this account which is clearly staying true to their unconventional username.
Flat-Out Wrong
One of the most divisive internet topics in history is the Flat Earth debate. This person thought that by standing on a hill and not seeing a curve in the distance, it proved that the Earth must be flat after all.
Luckily, the commenter took the time to kindly explain why he wasn’t seeing any curvature and still managed to deliver a burn that he’ll need some time to recover from. Ouch!
Skin Deep
Beauty is a completely subjective thing, no matter what society tries to tell us. It’s so much more than skin deep, and it’s clear that this girl has forgotten that.
Why is she so invested in what her ex-boyfriend is up to now? Perhaps she could benefit from a serving of humble pie, and Tee came along to dish it out. Beauty is more than skin-deep, people!
Money-Saving Tip
One of the best things about the internet is the tips and tricks at your fingertips. It’s kind of a double-edged sword because people with no qualifications or expertise can also give advice without ever having to back it up.
Something’s not adding up with this post. How would saving a quarter give you more money than saving a whole dollar? We’d love to get our hands on some of these special quarters.
Oh, Mama
Science and technology have come a long way in recent years. We’ve seen more advances and developments than people could ever fathom, but it also seems that there are some basic, ground-level concepts that people are still grappling with.
James seems to be a gravity denier, and this savage reply from Ragnar Ericsson will no doubt have brought him back down to earth. He couldn’t do that with no gravity now could he?
Luke Warm
There’s nothing more cathartic than venting your everyday frustrations on social media. NFL star Reggie Bush is clearly fed up with restaurants missing the mark and we’re so glad he could share this with the world.
Otherwise, how would he know that there is probably a legion of people out there who feel the same way? We couldn’t have responded better than Andy did—he really gets it. That’s the kind of solidarity we love on the internet.
Playing Games
Back in the days before everyone was scrolling endlessly on their phones, there was nothing more fun than sitting down to play video games. But we never noticed this hilarious, subliminal message before.
Hats off to the product designers behind this genius joke. If we had actually taken the time to read the discs it would have given us a good laugh.
Harsh Reflections
While many people turn to the internet as a form of escape, it can be a harsh world. We’ll never understand why people choose to tear each other down online when it would require the same amount of effort to just say something positive.
Poor old Ricky, what did he do to deserve someone coming after him like that? Way to kick a guy while he’s down.
Wheely Strange
Have you ever seen something that leaves you speechless because you just can’t fathom that someone’s brain works the way it does? This is one of those occasions.
It would have been so simple to just take the wheel caps off to paint them, like Mike suggested, instead of covering the entire car as if it’s going into dental surgery. But hey, we’re here now.
Chew on That
Any dog owner out there will know that among all the other things you have to buy to keep your furry companion busy, chew toys are the most annoying because they inevitably won’t last long.
If you’re particularly unlucky, even the ones labeled as indestructible will be no match for your rage-filled pooch—they’ll be destroyed in minutes. Might seem long to some, but to others that’s a disappointingly short amount of time.
Take Me Back
Who remembers the days on Instagram when there was a tab to see whose posts all your followers were liking and commenting on? That was a truly chaotic time for the internet, but we personally loved the drama it brought.
Now, all that drama happens exclusively in the DMs when people get caught liking old pictures, whether it’s an accident during a moment of weakness, or an intentional sign to get someone’s attention.
Rap God
If there’s one thing that rappers and musicians have in common with each other, it’s that their terrible experiences with love make for great musical material. As long as they keep getting broken up with, the world gets blessed with more emotional music so for that, we’re grateful.
We seriously admire the confidence of Ca$h Only to lump himself in with the bigwigs in the rap world. She wasn’t talking about you, buddy!
C+ For Presentation
Food pictures are everywhere you look on the internet. Back in the olden days, people just ate their food without doing a photoshoot first but now, if you don’t have a perfect picture of your perfectly-presented food, it’s almost not worth eating at all.
George is clearly not a fan of this person’s presentation skills. Hey, as long as it tastes good, that’s all that matters. Let’s not get caught up in the aesthetics of vegetables on toast.
No Connection
There’s so much going on in life that it can be hard to take a step back and be grateful for the little things. The big things can feel so aggravating that they’ll even have you airing out your beef with trees on the internet.
In their frustration, this person seems to have forgotten that if it weren’t for trees, none of us humans would be alive and breathing today.
Not My Job
Finding a job in today’s world is a ruthless and humbling experience. There’s some kind of formula that you need to master in the interview process to even get you anywhere, but it’s so easy to make one wrong move and ruin it all.
Interviewers don’t even send an email saying they’ve hired someone else—they just ghost. So why should a candidate have to send a thank you note? We’d much prefer a pig.
Consider Yourself Roasted
We’re just now learning that National Roast Day is a thing. If you ask us who we’re least surprised to see taking part, it would be the Wendy’s social media account.
They just can’t help but come for every single one of their competitors, and Hooters is the latest one to come under Wendy’s line of online fire. At least they’re making a solid point this time! If anything they could have roasted harder.
Send Pics
When trying to buy or sell something online, you never know who you might be dealing with. There are so many entitled buyers and stingy sellers that the whole thing is a recipe for disaster.
This poor guy just wanted to sell his truck, but the buyer’s instructions weren’t specific enough and we’re left with this adorable interaction. Bless him, look at that smile! Some people are just too precious.
Sorry Karen
In the dictionary of internet slang that is constantly changing, the term Karen has spiraled out of control. We can only imagine how frustrating it must be to be named Karen during this time.
It’s like naming your kid Alexa and expecting them not to hate smart home devices! Let’s all spare a thought for the Karens out there who are forced to bravely face the wrath of ruthless internet meme culture.
Say Cheese
Everybody’s traditions are different at Thanksgiving. Some families entrust specific family members with specific dishes, and some rely on one willing volunteer to make everything for everyone.
We’re having a hard time believing that this isn’t a prank. How do you even go about making mac and cheese look this unappetizing? Let’s hope and pray that neither of these two ever has to make this dish again because that’ll be sure to land someone in the hospital.
Wise Words
You can’t be liked by everyone in this life. Sure, most people probably don’t have a list of sworn enemies, but even the kindest and friendliest of folks will have people who just don’t warm to them.
This guy probably tweeted his relatable dilemma not expecting anyone to actually respond. But he got a reply from none other than Jim Carrey, and the man came through with some genuinely inspirational and hilarious advice.
In My Shoes
The more time we spend on this planet we call home, the more we realize that everything is slowly getting more and more expensive. It’s like we can’t even go outside and take a breath without spending $40.
Shoes are expensive and that’s a fact. Instead of fighting about who’s cosplaying as Jesus and who’s a basketball wannabe, we should be coming together to address the real issue—those prices.
Looking Goofy
The English language is an interesting thing. Even those who speak English as their first or only language are fascinated by its intricacies, and for those who try to learn it, it’s definitely not easy.
We can’t blame people for forgetting the basics, but Johnnie wasn’t having any of it. Googling or looking for a book is all it takes to find proof. See, there are two right there!
What’s Your Beef?
If you ever have a problem with your fast food from a chain restaurant, you can eat it and deal with the consequences or take it up with their online team. But it’s interactions like this one that makes us forget that these accounts aren’t just robots—behind them are real people who’ll bite back.
Forget the Super Bowl altogether because this face-off between two of the United States’ biggest fast-food chains is far more entertaining.
Life on Mars
When NASA’s Opportunity Rover, a space exploration robot, was shut down after 14 years on Mars, its sad final message sent social media users into an emotional spiral.
Many people seem to have resonated with the robot’s final words, but Yapoz certainly isn’t one of them—they did not hold back with this savage reply. Ouch! If the original poster wasn’t already sad, they sure will be now.
Haunted By the Past
Do you believe in ghosts? Moving into a house that you think might be haunted is definitely risky business, but if there’s one thing more scary than that, it’s the dating world.
After so many failed dates and unfortunate encounters, we’d take an actual ghost over the disappointment of potential romantic partners disappearing without a trace any day. Onwards and upwards, buddy.
Get a Job
Everybody is looking for something different when it comes to the perfect partner. Some people are looking for safety and comfort, others want a fiery romance, and others might even be looking for financial stability from a generous partner.
It seems that some people might think that they’re looking for a boyfriend, when actually what they’re really looking for is a job. Hey, at least your job can’t try to sleep with you!
That’s Gotta Hurt
One thing that’s always been rife on the internet is people making comments about the way other people look as if they won’t ever see them. This guy thought he was doing something by making fun of a girl’s perfectly normal profile picture, but she wasn’t going to let it slide.
If you learn one lesson from this let it be that you shouldn’t comment on someone else’s appearance if you can’t handle a savage comeback in return.
Caught on Camera
There’s nothing like being single to get you in your feels and get your self-esteem plunging to new lows. Except when your phone tries to sabotage you by opening the selfie camera by surprise and catching you at an unfortunate angle.
Just when we think we’ve mastered the art of looking even a little photogenic, our devices seem to be on a mission to prove us wrong.
Not Today, Manager
Anyone who’s ever worked in a service or retail job knows just how unpredictable and tough it can be. You’re constantly being expected to do more than you’re capable of, and then not appreciated for the work you do.
This manager might have wanted their employee to work on short notice, but they lost any chance of a serious response. The service industry is a dog-eat-dog world. Don’t ask, don’t get!
Career Goals
Back in our school days, tests and exams were just about the worst thing in the world. One wrong move or bad score and it felt like there was simply no future in sight—destined to work in a basic job forever.
But Ellie seems to have forgotten that these jobs are important too. Luckily, Aldi came out with all guns blazing with an epic burn.
It’s-a-Me, Wendy
Everyone familiar with the internet will know that asking people on social media to roast you is only asking for trouble. But this guy opened a can of worms with his post.
We’re betting that the last roaster he expected to hit him with a savage burn was the official page of Wendy’s restaurant. Fair play, Wendy’s—we didn’t know you had it in you.
Read the Fine Print
In a digital world, most people don’t need to be printing stuff all the time. But this establishment took a creative approach to encouraging their students to stop printing so much.
If this smart student isn’t a math major, they definitely should be. That’s some serious calculation they’ve done, only to come to the conclusion that they’re getting terrible bang for their buck. We’d much rather go to Disney World 465 times!
Left Him Speechless
At the beginning of a relationship, the biggest hurdle aside from the vulnerability of falling in love and all that is impressing your new partner’s parents. When they’re particularly protective, that feels like an impossible task.
This is the best response to what is probably one of the most awkward and uncomfortable texts to receive. Jessica’s father must have been so shocked by the double entendre that he couldn’t even reply.
The Love Game
To anyone who managed to find the love of their life and stuck with them, count yourself lucky because the dating world is a tough one. As much as men find women confusing and women find themselves dodging red flags, both can be just as bad as each other.
What happened to good old-fashioned chivalry and the wholesome pursuit of falling in love? With so many obstacles and games at every hurdle, it’s a wonder that anyone is even in a healthy relationship at all.
Don’t Be Basic
When you think of the perfect partner, that image probably looks different to everyone. Whether you’re into blondes, redheads, or brunettes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We’re not here to yuck anyone’s yum, especially when it comes to relationships.
Wendy’s, on the other hand, has no problem letting it rip and delivering epic burns. Who hurt you, Wendy?
Humbled
The world goes mad for designer stuff. Whether it’s clothes, shoes, watches, or anything in between, people love to own something with a label on it, even though those come with a hefty price tag.
But just because you want something fancy, that doesn’t mean you’re entitled to get it as a gift. Chad is here to remind this person that you have to work for the things you want, and you can’t have what you can’t afford. Humbling, yet true.
The Original Couple
Societal norms, like marriage and relationships, are always changing and evolving. It’s not for one woman on the internet to tell others how they should live their lives, as much as they might think so.
Some people just love to force their ideas about these concepts on others as if it will change anything about the way other people behave. Besides, let’s not forget about the OG couple, Adam and Eve—talk about setting the bar low for relationships. We’ve come a long way since then.
What’s in a Name?
If you ever have a random question, the internet is the perfect place to take it. The chances are that someone’s already asked it before and therefore someone smart out there has an answer for you. Most of the time, you can expect an answer, just not always a serious one.
Charlie over here seems to have butted his head in, remembering the golden rule of the internet—that humor always comes first. That was cold but we’ll be the first to admit it got a laugh.
Future Generation
The games we play as kids can shape who we are and who we might become as adults. Someone who spends all their time playing sports as a kid might pursue it in the future, and a kid who loves to draw could grow up to become an artist.
We love the optimism that this parent has in their kid, but we’re with Kyle on this one. We’d advise this parent to get their child some Barbies and more wholesome toys as soon as possible.
Bad as Each Other
Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. It’s the age-old phrase that’s always been drilled into us. While it’s true that there are distinct differences between us, this mindset only encourages more separation of the genders.
Rayshawn clearly took this one personally and went for the oldest trick in the book—resorting to commenting on looks to try and get a rise from the entirety of womankind. Good luck finding love with that attitude, both of you.
Stay in Your Lane
Each fast-food chain has its niche. Everyone knows that KFC does chicken best and Burger King excels at burgers. Wendy’s, on the other hand, are home to everything from burgers to chicken and they won’t let you forget it.
We applaud them for their versatility and the boldness of this clapback. This reply is the equivalent of telling Burger King to stay in their lane. Wendy’s chicken nuggets with a side of sass, please.
Homewrecker and Proud
Without even knowing it, we all love to get a little too involved in the relationship dramas of the people around us. There’s nothing wrong with a healthy dose of gossip every now and again—it’s what keeps the world spinning, after all.
Perhaps there should be more shame in confessing your homewrecking habits on social media like this person did. Hey, at least she’s honest. Is there such a thing as too honest?
Wily Coyote
Dogs are humans’ best friends for a reason. They’re such cute companions that they almost make us forget that these animals descended from wild canines like wolves and coyotes—two creatures you definitely wouldn’t want to be stuck on a bus with.
Good luck to the unlucky person whose job it is to coax this one out of there. We wouldn’t want their job. The only job worse than that would be trying to teach a coyote to drive.
Uno Reverse Card
Celebrities and social media will always be a fascinating combination. Some choose to use it to chat with their fans, and others flex their comedy chops with hilarious viral tweets. It’s clear to tell who’s down with the internet lingo and who isn’t.
Robert tried to play Seth MacFarlane at his own game using the oldest trick in the book. The Uno Reverse Card if you will. Very sneaky, Robert, we see what you did there.
Mirror, Mirror
When you press send on an internet post, it goes out to the world and you never know who might find it. There’s something quite unsettling about official verified accounts of chain restaurants seemingly becoming sentient, and responding to people with witty clap backs.
We can’t help but think someone forgot to log out of the company account and into their personal one. What a burn!
Song of Solomon
As much as people might try and convince us otherwise, there is no right or wrong way to live your life. You don’t have to have achieved something by a certain age or stop doing something because you think you’re too old for it.
Solomon seems to think otherwise, but luckily Omolola is here to put him back in his place. You tell him, Omolola!
