45 Satisfying Moments Where Jerks Got Served With A Savage Comeback

We should all devote the necessary time and effort to becoming proficient in the brutal art of the comeback. Few things in life are as fulfilling as destroying someone totally and totally with your wit, snappiness, and banter. And if you combine this with some good ol’ fashioned common sense and logic? You truly are a legend.

1. Red Shirts

Raven Sheridan said: “God I love George Takei!” For correct reasons apparently. Who knew George Takei had such savage comebacks?

2. This One is Important

6. Far Too Many People See The Answer To This As Being “Yes”

Question on physical disability and wages

Michelle M said: “Should this even be debated? There’s seriously no hope for humanity“. Disabled people need to be paid fairly too. Why should they not be?

Lav Oravaf said: “epic“. Climate change is a real concern. However, an irresponsible multi-billion dollar oil company with horrible records of spillage should be the last entity to talk about it to the common person.

Important difference

Autism vs idiocy

20. Bit Of A Stretch

Stupid comparison
Image Credits: beerbellybegone

Michelle M said: “What’s with people and body hair? If you like body hair, good for you. If you don’t, also good for you. No need to body shame someone for something that occurs naturally. It’s like insulting someone for having legs. I’m looking at you, female beauty standards“.

21. Seriously What Is Wrong With You

Lacking touch with reality

Helen Haley said: I usually don’t agree with ministers, but yeah, I agree here.” Ministers unite against racist microaggressions. It’s just too out of touch with reality.
