murdered by words

If you're one of those people who compulsively scrolls down to the comments section of a YouTube video hoping to find some insult gold, you've come to the right place because we've put together a bunch of fiery roasts served up by the jibe experts of the internet. We certainly don't condone unwarranted bullying of innocent internet-goers, but some people are straight up asking for it when they post something absolutely roast-worthy. Thanks to subs like r/rareinsults, we can appreciate the most well-deserved and well-delivered roasts.

We love seeing stupid people get shut down by intelligent professionals. Unfortunately, experiencing this IRL is an extremely rare blessing. Instead, we have to rely on the comment-happy idiots of the internet to say dumb things and get schooled by the good samaritans who value science and fact over, well, the opposite. And these are some pretty good instances of such intellectual slaughter. 

If you're someone who gets satisfaction out of seeing slightly misguided or straight up rude people get owned by the reasonable and informed, we've got a load of screenshots from r/murderedbywords that capture these rare moments. Lately there's been an influx of misinformation spreading about the new Covid-19 vaccines. Of course, it's always a good idea to scrutinize anything you're putting into your body, but some people seem to just make stuff up on the fly and tweet about it like it's proven fact. Well thankfully, there are professionals out there who are always ready to school the ignorant.

It's said that the pen is mightier than the sword, and we're inclined to say the same is true for a keyboard on a phone or laptop. This gallery is full of fiery roasts, savage insults, and creative put-downs. They're a reminder that not everyone stoops to the "Your mom" level when trying to exact pain on someone they disagree with. If you need more savagery, check out r/MurderedByWords. There's a lot more where these came from.

Good news for anyone who enjoys the occasional icy glass of schadenfreude: we've got tons for ya right here. This vicariously enjoyed pain mostly comes in the form of social media comments: people sassing dumb people and some fine folks giving their friends a hard time. We enjoy both - and get especially excited when the sass is directed at a celebrity. Spoiler alert: there's more than one of those instances in here.

There's very little in this world that's as satisfying as witnessing (or reading) idiots get taken down by someone with a clever comeback or schooling session. These instances of schadenfreude are as delightful as they are savage.
