10 Facebook Burns Preserved for the Ages

When I was in my early teens, Facebook was this sort of curiosity of an internet thing that was kind of tied to your school and kind of not?

Now it’s this terrifying monolith that houses, facilitates, and controls all human interaction, commerce, and politics. …or it often feels like that, anyway.

But one upside of having all our conversations publicly logged in text form like this is that when something truly entertaining happens, like a solid burn or a fierce retort, it’s just one screenshot away from infamy.

Here are 10 Facebook screenshots that will live on forever by virtue of the sheer, echoing volume of their clap backs.

10. Abomination

There’s also some stuff in there about tattoos and wearing mixed fabrics but weirdly that doesn’t come up a lot.

9. Holy crap

I’m with Blair, go away Ricky. I’m definitely not laughing. Nope.

8. Layers upon layers

Gonna need to reapply some salve, whatever the case.

7. Getting served

I wasn’t aware of Obama’s “ads are gay now” policies, but that was years ago, maybe I forgot.

6. Challenging definitions

Sounds like you’ve found your true calling in life?

5. Key strokes

Stellar work by whomever tried to protect our innocent eyes from that word here.

4. Every single time

Technically it is a noun but only if we’re talking about sports.

3. Double jeopardy

Mess with the bull, you get the horns.

2. Grammar not see

Damn Mrs. Johanson, don’t hold back.

1. Motherly love

Might as well delete your account.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to go make sure I haven’t been screenshot-worthy burned on my Facebook lately. Don’t wanna end up on one of these lists myself!

What’s the greatest burn you’ve witnessed recently?
