40+ Moments People Were Crushed by Just One Punchline Online

40+ Moments People Were Crushed by Just One Punchline Online

It’s not great to be on the receiving end of an insult, but to read others get slammed with one-line comebacks can be quite entertaining. We’ve compiled a list of 40+ moments people were totally crushed by just one punchline on the internet. From food pics to embarrassing moments, this list has it all…

Italicized Twins

Considering the average wait in line to see the Mona Lisa is an hour, these two wanted to make the most of the little time they had by taking a selfie with the famous painting before getting pushed aside.

Italicized Twins

Not even taking notice of the painting, they were hit with a comment that said their stance resembled italic letters. Despite the poor angle, we’re happy these two got the opportunity to see one of Da Vinci’s most valuable works of art.

2008 Throwback

With the current trending hairstyles of perfect fades, undercuts, and slicked-back dos, it’s safe to say that this guy’s hairdo doesn’t quite fit today’s style. However, it reminded this commenter about the look almost everybody had in 2008.

2008 Throwback

With the shaggy mullet-like hairstyle, it takes one back in time to the innocent boy band phase. Not too sure if this one comes as an insult or compliment but let’s hope it doesn’t bruise his confidence.

14/14 Basic Babe

Truthfully, it looks as if the blonde girl would fit the definition of a basic girl aka someone who follows mainstream trends. However, this viewer took it to the next level. This girl would be rated 14/14.

14/14 Basic Babe

For those who are confused, 14 is the most extreme basic end of the pH scale. Don’t worry, she probably didn’t catch on to that either. What’s worse than being insulted is not understanding your insult in the first place.

Missing Goatee

It’s pretty common to leave the hairdresser or barber unhappy, even though you acted as if you weren’t unhappy while in the chair. However, this guy was definitely happy and took to social media to share his fresh haircut.

Missing Goatee

Although his viewers didn’t quite like his beard trim, one user went so far as to tell him to pull up his beard to cover his chin. Regardless of that overly critical comment, we think he looks pretty good.

Biggie Eilish

It’s one thing to be hit with insults in the comments from strangers online, but it definitely doesn’t hurt when you’re the one making the joke! This girl took to social media to compare herself to Billie Eilish but with a twist.

Biggie Eilish

Although she ditched the iconic green hair dye, she made up for it by wearing a neon green shirt and she totally embodies the grunge aesthetic. Even though she refers to herself as the Biggie version, she totally nailed the look.

Double Standards

User @Brendaaa took to Twitter to share how disappointed she was when she saw an attractive man using an outdated iPhone model. However, she said she saw this fine mine while riding on the bus…

Double Standards

This commenter pulled a reverse Uno card on this insult — how can @Brendaaa judge this man for having an older phone when she’s using a cheap form of public transport? After all, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, right?

Cheaters Exposed

The user Starz was quick to disagree with the original tweet having the opinion that women cheat more often than men. While trying to support women he not only insulted himself but all men, so you’d think his response would be praised by Lindiwe.

Cheaters Exposed

Starz was not… he was left even more insulted when Lindiwe exposed his girlfriend as a cheater. That may have left him with some public embarrassment but, hopefully, he’s out of that toxic relationship!

Rule Breaker

Each parent has their own take on household rules and discipline. This mother seems to have taken a more strict and supervised route. She went on to list the rules her son has to follow, specifically around screen time.

Rule Breaker

She probably expected fellow mothers to compliment her and ask for advice. This user thought her rules seemed very similar to those of an old-age home and gave her a quick reminder to have a little fun while young.

Chum Bucket Hamdogs

Sometimes, things don’t go according to plan. This was the case when this user had to do some reshaping to his burger patties after buying hotdog buns by mistake. After seeming fairly proud of his quick thinking, he went to share the funny situation online.

Chum Bucket Hamdogs

While others found it funny, it wasn’t for the obvious reason. The Chum Bucket is the restaurant in SpongeBob known for its unappealing and foul-tasting food, most of which is made from literal chum. This commenter thought these ‘hamdogs’ would be a perfect addition to the menu.

Hog Rider

The prisoner was trying to intimidate the man by asking if he knew where he was from, and this user took it upon himself to say Clash of Clans. The prisoners’ attempt to scare the man would be an absolute failure if the scenario were true.

Hog Rider 

For those of you who are unsure of what Clash of Clans is, it’s an online animated game where users build a village and need to defend their land. This prisoner looks exactly like the character Hog Rider. The buff build, beard, and mohawk make him the perfect real-life doppelgänger.

Honesty Is the Best Policy

Friends are important for many reasons and there are plenty of responsibilities they have. For example, making sure you always look good by rating your outfit, even if it means being brutally honest. This guy asked for a simple rate on a 1-10 scale of how his outfit looked.

Honesty Is the Best Policy

His friend definitely didn’t hype him up. His outfit was so bad that it didn’t even get a place on the scale. Honesty is always the best policy — although, maybe in this situation, a rating of 1 would’ve been better for his confidence.

Felt Cute, Might Delete Later

Surely, everyone’s aware of the trend used when posting your pictures and captioning them something along the lines of ‘felt cute, might delete later.’ Truthfully, there’s no intention of ever deleting the post. While you might not get comments pleading with you not to delete, you at least get a compliment or two.

Felt Cute, Might Delete Later

This guy didn’t get gushing comments, though. This commenter took the caption pretty seriously and even encouraged him to delete the post sooner. Clearly, the commenter isn’t a fan of the pic. Maybe it’s the pout pose?

Locked Tweet

Electronic Arts is a company that owns a variety of games from FIFA to SIMS. Despite all its popular games and many users, it’s notoriously known for all the additional expenses. From the initial purchasing costs to extras in order to unlock different functions or characters, the costs can add up.

Locked Tweet

This commenter is clearly fed up and threw some shade at the EA Twitter account after they posted an incomplete sentence. Who knows, maybe EA will hear their fans out and cut back on the costs!

Walk of Shame

As kids, we were so easily embarrassed by our parents. By adulthood, you’ve likely grown out of that phase. However, adulting holds other potentials for embarrassment — and for this person, it was the worry people would think he was walking with a rat.

Walk of Shame

Clearly, there was little consideration for how the rat may feel. Not to worry, the commenter was sure to speak on its behalf!

A Side of Refry, Please

There’s no denying that it’s pretty hard to pass up a breakfast that has it all — eggs, bacon, sausage, and more. So, we can give him that. But, that’s about all he was spot on about. Sure, everyone has a preference as to how they like their eggs cooked; sunny-side up, scrambled, poached, etc.

A Side of Refry, Please

When it comes to bacon, though, don’t most people prefer it crispy? This commenter wasn’t subtle about the fact that every item in his English breakfast looks like it hasn’t seen a frying pan.

It Will Come in Time

When puberty rolls around, some men become obsessed with being able to grow a beard or mustache. Well, that’s if they can. Unfortunately for some, their attempts don’t work out and it ends up looking very sparse.

It Will Come in Time

Sadly for this guy, his mustache was thin and patchy. It didn’t help that he either has no eyebrows or very light hair, too. Because that insult was spot on about his mustache looking like eyebrows!

Spice it Up

From the poor sauce distribution to balancing the plate on their foot, there are so many things wrong with this picture. Considering what could’ve been said, the commenter was pretty kind with their insult.

Spice it Up

Nevertheless, that chicken could definitely do with some seasoning. Also, it’s probably a good idea to start wearing house shoes to prevent this whole situation from happening again.

Match-Making Gone Wrong

She clearly couldn’t build up the courage to chat with him in person, so she took to the internet in the hopes of matching with him online. She probably knew she’d get some nasty comments and those people who’d turn it into a joke.

Match-Making Gone Wrong

The chances of actually finding the guy were slim but the internet somehow connected them, although she probably wasn’t expecting that to be his response. A public rejection… that’s pretty harsh.

Grow Up

There are most definitely die-hard football fans who take the games and final scores very seriously. When your team loses, there’s nothing that can make the situation better, so it’s just about accepting that your day is ruined.

Grow Up

There’s something understandable about your day being ruined by a football match. But to believe that astrology and zodiac signs have an effect on your personality and future seems like a far reach.

Fashion Forward

Fashion trends come and go, and celebrities often use red-carpet events to push the boundaries and make a statement. Obviously, fashion is subjective and everyone has their own style, so it’s often a hit or miss.

Fashion Forward

More recently, the fashion industry for men has expanded and moved away from the average black suit. Neil Patrick Harris was caught in this look and, honestly, the comment was the best description of what he looked like.

Failed Attempt

Just like fashion trends, there are hairstyles that come in and out of fashion. From shaggy wolf cuts to perfect fades, there’s a style for everyone. But obviously, in order for a style to start trending, there needs to be someone who creates it.

Failed Attempt

Maybe this guy was trying to start a trend? However, it seems pretty unlikely that this style will catch on. There wasn’t much that needed to be said because his hairstyle was perfectly summed up with one emoji.

No Hair Up There

This man literally has enough body hair that he wouldn’t need to wear clothes during winter. It seems as if he has trimmed the hair around his neckline. Imagine the patterns and designs he could create!

No Hair Up There

But what’s probably the funniest part, and surprisingly not mentioned, is the drastic difference between his incredibly hairy chest and how bald his head is. Maybe there’s a better way to repurpose the hair he trims off?

Handsomely Hairy

This person posted a little public appreciation for her man and all that he does for her. That’s super sweet, right? Well, obviously with the trolls on the internet, there’d be someone who’d have something negative to say.

Handsomely Hairy

Surely, they could’ve at least compared him to Wolverine or something else a little more masculine than just an animated dog? Sometimes jealousy makes people nasty.

Incredibly Awkward

When it comes to Halloween and dress-up parties, there are people who do the bare minimum and throw on a pair of horns and call themselves a devil. But then, there are those people who go all out. The best costumes are often from those who come to the parties in matching clothes.

Incredibly Awkward

These two absolutely nailed their Incredibles costume, but there was clearly some confusion as to whether they were the parent duo or crime-fighting siblings. She made it pretty clear in her public rejection comment, though.

Better Not Shared

With the rise in influencers and content creators, there are many who not only post the best places to go out and dine but also share recipes to make at home. From breakfast to dinner, there’s tons of inspiration to recreate the dishes at home.

Better Not Shared

Clearly new to the game, this person posted their meal and it didn’t hit the mark on aesthetically pleasing or providing any inspiration. It provided the exact opposite, although looks can be deceiving…

Kanye Kicks

Kanye West has a reputation for his unique sense of style and his clothing line. Most of the shoes he creates have a chunky vibe and are made of foam-like material. It’s pretty unclear whether this comment was aimed to insult Kanye or help him add a new shoe to his line.

Kanye Kicks

Regardless of the intention, these boots would fit perfectly into Kanye’s clothing line. Despite them looking like evil villain boots, they’d probably sell out quickly, considering the influence Kanye has on his fans.

Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

This picture is confusing on so many levels! It makes viewers wonder if he’s a giant or maybe she’s way below average height. It’d seem more realistic if they were father and daughter, or even siblings with a big age gap, to explain the extreme height difference.

Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

However, from her caption, we know they’re actually a couple. This commenter summed up their height difference in the funniest way possible!

Little White Lie

In the hopes of finding her prince charming, this girl shared her preference for a man who doesn’t share much on social media. Sometimes, in order to show your interest and win over the girl, a few white lies need to be shared to have a fighting chance.

Little White Lie

It seems this guy’s white lie was a bit far-fetched. If you’re going to be dishonest, at least try not to have obvious contradicting evidence for all to see.

Instant Disappointment

McDonald’s is one of the largest, and greatest, fast-food chains. Whether you prefer a Big Mac or chicken nuggets, or just want perfectly salted skinny fries, it’s a firm favorite. They weren’t wrong that just a few emojis are enough of a description.

Instant Disappointment

However, nine out of ten times when one is at McDonald’s, their ice cream machine is broken. When you crave a McFlurry and hear that the machine is out of order, it’s an instant disappointment. Clearly, this guy has had that exact experience.

Lacrosse Defined

With lacrosse having the reputation of being a wealthy man’s sport, not only is the equipment needed to play expensive but the sport is only played in a few countries. Considering most movies portray lacrosse players as well-mannered, private school boys, there’s no surprise this comment was made.

Lacrosse Defined

It may be his innocent face, the combed hair, or his preppy style, with a sweater layered over his collared shirt. This man really fits the stereotypical definition of a lacrosse player!

Unlike

It’s a fair assumption to say most people end up going back a few years while looking at someone’s social media profile. Although their 2010 outfit may be pretty embarrassing, there’s nothing more awkward than accidentally liking the picture…

Unlike

It’s also made so much worse when the person notices and then says something about it. But for this person, it wasn’t an accident and it’s doubtful that they were the one left feeling awkward.

If Looks Could Kill

With those blank expressions and wide eyes, the Olsen twins look like deer in headlights. Usually, we’re not ones that totally trust astrology and zodiac signs to guide one’s future.

If Looks Could Kill

But, what about psychics? Because these twins look like they’ve gone deep into the future and are hiding a pretty big secret.

Desk Doodles

Tattoos are permanently inked, so one needs to be pretty sure before they get one. There are so many styles to choose from and, usually, people draw inspiration from things around them, creating special meanings for their ink.

Desk Doodles

However, it looks as if Pete Davidson allowed a young rebellious kid to use his body as a sketch pad. The tattoos really do resemble the doodles one would find etched into a school desk.

Pray for England

Although England has had their share of tragedies, it’s probably not what this user is referring to. It may be that, in England, the majority of the year is spent in cold temperatures and rain.

Pray for England

However, the Brits give off an overall happy energy. So, as for this insult, there may be something more personal to that user.

Here Comes the Purge

From thriller to horror, the Purge mask is well-known amongst fanatics of the like. With its distinct features, dark prominent eyebrows, and devilish grin with a set of eye-piercing pearly whites — anyone would run from the sight.

Here Comes the Purge

Although the heading is about the end of this couple’s relationship, it’s difficult to notice anything other than their uncanny resemblance to the Purge mask. Although it’s a little insensitive to the situation, the commenter can’t be blamed. Surely, everyone else was thinking the same thing.

Ratty Review

When going to dine at a new restaurant, it’s very important to check out the menu, just to avoid disappointment — especially if you’re a picky eater. It’s also wise to ask others about their experiences or to check out the reviews left online.

Ratty Review

This customer clearly didn’t enjoy their experience, leaving a one-star rating after they saw a rat at the restaurant. One would assume that the owner would make every effort to apologize, but that just wasn’t the case with this owner. He obviously doesn’t take criticism well.

Too Attractive for This Crime

There ain’t nothing wrong with being your own hype man! Every once in a while, we all need a confidence boost. And who better to sell yourself than the person who knows you best — you!

Too Attractive for This Crime

Unfortunately for this person, they were quickly shot down. Hopefully, the commentator was a friend trying to create some online banter. Nevertheless, there’ll be plenty of people who’d agree with the comment!

Grab the Pitchforks

There’s a bit to unpack in this image. It’s not just the fact that the men truly do look like they’d be perfect villagers in a live-action Shrek remake. They have the perfect haircuts and we can imagine them running with pitchforks. It’s like they were destined to play the role.

Grab the Pitchforks

However, the fact that they were arrested for driving a horse and buggy is the icing on the cake. Not only do they look the part, but they could also continue riding their horse and buggy and it’d fit right in on the set of Shrek.

Three-Piece, Please

A three-piece suit definitely catches not just a girl’s eye but the eyes of all those who pass by. With everyone dressed up at a wedding, one can really stand out with a well-fitted suit. But don’t be fooled, this isn’t daily attire.

Three-Piece, Please

Aside from the fact that it’s hot and uncomfortable, if a man was spotted during daytime hours dressed like that, it’d be for one of a few reasons. You’re probably the gentleman who works at the valet. Hopefully, he’d get a good tip after spending the day in a three-piece suit.

Taco Torture

As a restaurant, there’s nothing better than hearing gratitude from your customers after their experience. Taco Bell was thrilled when replying to a customer asking what meal made their experience so great.

Taco Torture

Unfortunately for them, it wasn’t quite the response they were hoping for. To be fair, not everyone can handle Mexican food. Whether it was the spice or the beans that caused his unlucky reaction, at least he said it was worth it.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Pixels

Tech companies are constantly trying to come up with new ideas to sell products. It may be better cameras or large hard drive space, but tech is definitely a competitive market. Dbrand is known for making phone cases, and they thought they really hit the mark with this design.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Pixels

Hopefully, everyone can understand the reference to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. However, this commenter felt that the rat character, Splinter, should’ve made an appearance. Dbrand was quick to defend their design, leaving quite the one-liner insult.

Keep Your Advice

This poor guy was trying to help out those on the dating scene with some advice. Although it seemed less helpful and more judgemental. So there wasn’t much surprise when he was faced with a bit of hate in the comments.

Keep Your Advice

This commenter really took it to the next level by exposing his wife. Clearly, he needs to rethink his advice, and maybe his marriage.

Not a Breakfast of Champions

With breakfast being the first meal of the day, it’s pretty important to make it a healthy start to the day. Toast and oatmeal are staples for a good breakfast, however, there are so many ways to elevate them both.

Not a Breakfast of Champions

This guy did neither justice, so the comment he received seems pretty fair. Even a horse may not be pleased receiving that meal, they’d probably prefer sticking to carrots.

Retired or Undercover?

X-Men is a well-known Marvel comic superhero movie series from the 2000s, sporting some of our favorite characters such as Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, and Professor X. Many kids and adults dreamed of being part of the team.

Retired or Undercover?

He may not have noticed it before but he may be a little old, now, to join in on all the action-packed moves with the superhero team. At least he can walk around looking like he once belonged on the team.

Real-Life Shrek

Considering we found the men that’d make the perfect villagers in a live-action Shrek recreation, it seems important to find the real-life doppelgänger of Shrek. It may be slightly difficult to match his ogre self, but there are parts of the movie in which Shrek turns human.

Real-Life Shrek

The internet has done it again — they found the perfect man to act in the recreation! For those who recall, when Shrek became human, all the ladies were smitten with him. So, this one doesn’t quite seem like an insult.
