There’s an art to a great burn – it has to be timely, appropriate level for the prior tweet, and to be accessible by a large amount of people.
If you get it wrong, no one will laugh (or they’ll think you’re mean). If you get it right, you’ll be a legend – just like these 12 people did recently on Twitter.
12. That is not an accident.
Backing into the mailbox is an accident.

9. The burn just keeps going.
And improving as it builds.

8. That is quite an easy solution.
Also, people who tag artists in insulting tweets/reviews are just the absolute worst and deserve what they get.
Worse must be realising you’re too thick to change the station. https://t.co/p0iN8E7zww

7. Key word is “used” to.
We can all do something really stupid once.

6. I mean it also means it’s time to get out of the water.
Because grip or no grip, the water is still getting cold.
Good to know…I just thought it meant it was time to get out the bathtub https://t.co/AQiZIBUBEj

5. That’s the sort of thing that really sticks with you.
Middle schoolers are absolutely evil.
one time in middle school i dated a girl for 4 days and when she broke up with me she posted on facebook “sometimes your knight in shining armor is really just a loser in tinfoil” and to this day that the sickest burn i’ve ever gotten

2. That is exactly the sort of lame burn I would expect from Nickelback.
That’ll do, Nickelback. That’ll do.
@mybueno we blame you. Not sure for what, but it was definitely you.

1. This is so wrong I can’t look away.
Why have some people been raised by animals?
