Here Are 40 Comebacks That Were So Savagely Funny They Were Crowned The Champions Of Banter

by Maryjane

Have you ever been in the middle of an intense disagreement, feeling as if you were a deer caught in headlights and scrambling to come up with a sharp reply? The problem is that that deft comeback doesn't always materialize when we least expect it to.

Rather, it frequently comes as a surprise to us. Have we not all been there before?

Let's honor the bantering champions today, though as we present the r/MurderedByWords subreddit. They are a veritable gold mine of "well-constructed put-downs, comebacks, and counter-arguments."

"The way we see it, a murder should (but doesn't always have to) be more than a quick response or retort. The best murders are well-constructed, thought-out responses that leave the opening argument completely without any ability to reply. In other words, their point has been totally demolished.
Now, obviously, there's more than one way to murder with words, and sometimes a quick rapier thrust or stab to the heart (a short, swift reply) can be just as deadly as a drawn-out murder, and you'll frequently see both types in this sub," the moderators say.

We've compiled some of the most creative ways people have resolved conflicts. So fasten your seatbelts and get ready to master the skill of elegantly winning a dispute.

Although vicious insults can be amusing on the internet, when you debate with someone in person, things go differently. Instead of tearing each other down as the tension builds and the reactions get very personal, you may find yourself looking for areas of agreement.
