29 Clever Comebacks That Silenced People

When engaging in a debate, it isn't easy to come up with a good comeback. That's all arguing is: comeback after comeback, and eventually, someone gives one so good that it ends the debate. For some people, this comes easily, for others, they are stuck thinking and thinking with nothing left to say. When arguing online, there is the time advantage, so people don't have to come up with a comeback immediately, still, seeing a good comeback on the internet will always be satisfying and entertaining.

While debates happen all over the web, one of the most common places for discourse is Twitter, of course. Arguments and debates are happening all day long over there, so the chance of finding a good comeback is high. Reddit's /r/clevercomebacks is a subreddit where users share the most diabolical, silencing comebacks they have found while scrolling online. There was really nothing left to be said after these users made these statements. So here are 29 clever comebacks that won.

Money does matter…

Shweta Kukreja ❤ @ShwetaKukreja_ The biggest flex is not money. Its a fit body, good mental health, and a home full of people you love. Akanksha @Nyctophilic __ To achieve all of that, you need a good amount of money.

It's pretty similar

Zack Budryk @BudrykZack Closest I can think of is when Czar Alexander II's train derailed in 1888 and killed 23 people, because Alexander was drunkenly demanding the engineer go faster and when the guy explained that's not how trains work Alexander accused him of being a Jew David M. Perry @Lollardfish-15h Is there anything like what Musk is doing to twitter in history? Any analogies?

Wow

Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie How long until someone runs on the platform of #Food StampsForAll ? If healthcare is a right, is food as well? Mr. Maxwell @MrMaxwellmusic Yes.

We are not permitted to store outside food in our coolers as mandated by Fraser Health. Further, food is only permitted in one of our Party Rooms which you didn't rent.
