There’s nothing more satisfying than watching someone blast back with an absolutely perfect response.
Well, maybe there is. I guess it’s a little more fun if that person is YOU, but honestly, how often does that happen for most of us?
Those are once in a lifetime moments for us mere mortals, so to get our fill of that feeling we gotta revel in galleries of others pulling it off instead.
Galleries like this one. Here are some of the best responses of all time.
20. The answer I’m looking for
This is what the smartphone was invented for.

8. Doesn’t measure up
The fact that this tweet is from/about my hometown makes me feel doubly proud-shamed.
Americans will measure with anything but the metric system https://t.co/m7EFYJbFAX

7. Read the room
How are you gonna tell a prolific author they don’t know how words work?
A Yale History professor told me to get tutoring for my “remedial English.” I’d already received Wright Prize for nonfiction & later that year, the Veech Prize for fiction, so I told him: “It’s not that I don’t know how to write; it’s that you don’t know how to read.” #Grammar

3. No accounting for taste
How low can you go?
2 awful logos, the worst name in pro sports, and a ridiculous color scheme. How does something like this happen? It’s so bad it must be intentional. And what does this say about our society? Surely this is the end for us.

Ah daaamn, that was good

2. A dated reference
I think it’s time we saw other formats.

1. I’ll be your number one with a bullet
Pretty unlikely anybody would come up with a better response, I’ll tell ya that.

If I was as clever as these folks, I’m sure I’d have the perfect response to myself to close off this article. Um. That’s what she said?
What’s the best burn you’ve seen recently?
