clever

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 .

If you can't think of something intelligent to say, just try to say something that sounds clever. And if you can't think of something clever, say something so mind-numbingly obvious, dumb, or weird that it seems like you're on a whole 'nother level. If you can't say something smart, at least be technically correct. At least that's what these clever and literal moments achieve.

Sure, puns aren't exactly the height of comedy. In fact it's pretty normal to hate them. From the groan-tastic to the dad-tier, there are all sorts of dumb and clever puns to feel stupid about. Sometimes you need a break from humor that has a "premise" or "intelligent point" and you just want a bundle of puns to fill that wordplay hole.

Everyone gets wronged by someone at a point in their lives. Some folks hold onto that bitter rage and let it fester, and eventually end up letting it out into the world in an act of pure petty revenge. A well executed petty revenge is its own kind of art form. It takes patience and impressive strategic planning. 

Nothing boosts the ego like unleashing a clever comment that just nails it. The internet's always going to be full of people firing off senseless tweets and stinking up otherwise perfectly good comments sections with blatant displays of ignorance. 

Sometimes puns make us feel witty and clever for getting them, other times they make us feel dumber for having had endured them. Honestly we haven't really made up our minds on if wordplay is even good or not. Here's a smattering of puns to fill that wordplay hole.

When it's not actively imploding all over itself, Twitter births some wildly creative, extremely dumb, and supremely clever jokes. Sometimes you need ridiculous musings in the form of tweets to give that day a boost. Are they often stupid? Yeah. Are they basically funny? Definitely. Heap some funny tweets onto that day.

When you can't think of the right answer, it helps to just think of something clever and technically correct. Well it doesn't actually help, but at least it makes you feel smart and that's something. So why not feel witty for a second with some clever and literal jokes that are technically correct.

Some comebacks are too clever for their own good. At the end of the day though, the online world is a rough playground where anyone's apt to bring some spicy verbal banter upon themselves if they throw out a careless tweet/status. If you enjoyed these dazzling retorts, we recommend you check out these clever comebacks that sealed the deal.
