clever

Uh oh, we're back at it again with a fresh round of spicy, clever comebacks that just nailed it. As long as the world's had social media, we've had people butting heads online over the most trivial of matters. Well, there are the trivial matters, and then there are the careless, impossibly foolish human beings of the world that really had it coming all along. 

If there's one thing that makes us feel less stupid than we actually are, it's our ability to be technically accurate. Sure, being technically correct about something doesn't make us any smarter, but it helps us further avoid the fact that we know way less than we think. Man is that comforting, just kicking your own stupid-can down the road.

Tumblr ain't nothing without a writing prompt or two, and this short dragon thing is at least a little nugget of wholesomeness to spend some time on. For a bigger one, here's a tumblr thread on angels and demons bonding over sandwiches. The cogs of Tumblr are always turning out random tumblr gems.

Let the following collection of clever comebacks and rare insults serve as a solid reminder to never underestimate the power of the written word. As long as people are online spewing out random, nonsensical sentiments that never should've been shared in the first place they'll run the risk of getting utterly wrecked. These spicy silvertongues certainly brought the heat.

Sometimes, nothing hits the spot like a bundle of puns to fill that wordplay hole. Other times, puns are so unwelcome that they make people feel physically uncomfortable. Wordplay is a bit of a crap shoot, and you can't know what you're getting into with dumb and clever puns to feel stupid about.

Oh boy, we're back at it again with a fresh collection of clever comebacks and people being destroyed by words. As long as we have social media we'll have people rapping off senseless tweets and statuses that just as well never should've been shared with the rest of the online world in the first place.

There are those of us who love puns, and those of us who would like to take every pun-maker on the planet and shoot them out of a cannon into a brick wall. Many of us fall somewhere in between. Puns can be dumb or clever, but if one thing is for sure it's that they have an appropriate time and place.

Puns are one of those things that even though you might hate, you can't really avoid. Try as you might to avoid them and yell at the people who bring them into your life, but someone will always come back with a sackful of puns to spill all over your life. They're both incredibly clever and horribly dumb at the same time.

Sometimes Tumblr has that blend of creativity and total weirdness that makes it just the right thing for just the right time. People could be working on names for edible flying machines or just coming up with the worst puns imaginable. These are some random Tumblr gems to tumble through.

We're back at it again with a fresh round of rare insults that people broke out in the comments section. They're the kind of insults you might be able to appreciate, while potentially feeling bad for laughing at. These people are just being themselves, but hey, you can't stop a rare insult once it's been unleashed. 

Since we're interesting beings capable of holding a few ideas in our head at once, it's sometimes fair to agree that something might not exactly be totally correct, but it may just as well be technically accurate. By no means are these observations actually intelligent, but they at least sort of feel that way. 

This kid's spontaneous decision to pretend that he was blind when faced with a rude Karen in the uncomfortably crammed confines of an elevator, was pure genius. He managed to awaken Karen's buried sense of humanity, and actually get her to calm down. That is no easy task. Wonder if this strategy works on all the angry Karens out there. Check out some more juicy Karen drama with this story about the time that Karen and Karen Jr. tried to cheat the school system, and got outed.

As long as social media has been around we've had fools sharing mindless sentiments that would've been a whole lot better never having been spoken into the endless online void, to begin with. These well constructed comebacks brought pure fire to the comments section. Hopefully these folks learned their lessons in the value of thinking before one tweets/shares a status. 

If you can't think of the right answer, sometimes it helps to just say something clever. And if you can't think of something clever, just try to think of something bone-jarringly dumb and hope people find you quirky. Few of us may be smart, but given the opportunity, we can at least be technically accurate.

Untethered by the chains of shame, kids say some extremely brutal stuff to the people around them. It can be insulting, straight up psychopathic, and at worst, hauntingly accurate. Kids are mostly weird and dumb, and they often have stupid beliefs, but damn if they aren't sometimes savagely on the money.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most clever comebacks to insults that people have ever heard. There's nothing as deeply satisfying as clapping back against that spicy insult with just the kind of razor sharp wit that leaves the recipient utterly speechless. Sometimes you just nail it with the clever comeback .
