People say some of the strangest things on social media, and once in a while, we all wish we could tell someone off for saying something ridiculous in such a public setting. The problem is, we often don't have the right words to do so. It's not easy to formulate the perfect comeback to get the person to finally go silent, but once in a while, the perfect response comes to us. Rarely, though. That's why we can celebrate other people coming up with them for the rest of us.

The subreddit /r/clevercomebacks is Reddit's home for the most clever comebacks of all, as you may have guessed from the name. Here, social media users can be seen attacking one another with sharp rebuttals and simple statements that can make the original poster seem pretty idiotic. We've gathered some of our favorite times this has happened for you to see someone finally get told off for saying something dumb, because it sure is satisfying.
