The best withering comebacks ever delivered

The best withering comebacks ever delivered

It's always frustrating when we come up with an epic comeback only after a dispute.

So you might want to commit some of these shining examples to memory for the next time you enter the fray.

One driver's Facebook rant - 'I'm not a taxi service, if you want a lift I expect money' - was cut short rather abruptly when a commenter pointed to a hole in his logic, writing: 'That would make you a taxi service'. 

In another case, a switched-on mother responded to her child's accusation that she wasn't funny, and 'don't make jokes' with the three-word destroyer: 'I made you'.

And it doesn't get much more savage than the person who commented on a John Lennon Facebook quote - 'Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end' - with the retort: 'He was shot in the end'. 

Here, MailOnline presents a gallery of withering smackdowns from people highly trained in the art of winning conversations. 

He's got a point: One driver's Facebook rant was cut short rather abruptly when a commenter pointed to a glaring hole in his logic

That's the spirit: This student took a well-known adage and threw it back in her ex-boyfriend's face - quite literally

So the wedding's off: This chap's response reads - 'it's not complicated, you got caught f*****g numerous men'

Boom: This razor-sharp mother proves that she is indeed funny, wryly accusing her child of being 'a joke'

Overkill? This poster shared a selfie to show off her arguably excessive use of fake tan, and didn't get the response she was aiming for

Slay: Andy was clearly attempting to make a joke with this Facebook status, but Evan only went and trumped it

Game, set, match: Parents who rather put the dampener on their offspring's attempt to protect their cereal

Well-played: A child whose pie chart indicates that only their mother finds them attractive... backed up when their mother comments - 'that's not true and you know it'

Take that: Based on the timeline here, it took six minutes for the first commenter to mock this man, and less than a minute for him to be fired back at with a funnier response

Divine intervention: This conversation went off-piste pretty quickly, and we'd love to know where it led from here

Burn: A somewhat sneering comment from this Facebook user was promptly reversed by one commenter

Double whammy: Similarly, throw insults around like this and you're just asking for trouble

Words of wisdom: Whichever O2 employee was manning the company Twitter account this day was clearly having fun

Oops: A woman who got a Chinese symbol tattoo to celebrate 'a new life' has just been informed that it actually translates to 'picnic table', according to this commenter

Millennial jab: For those unfamiliar with the term 'BS', it means 'bull sh*t', and for those unfamiliar with 'FML', it's short for 'f**k my life'

Smart Alec: Calen jumped right in there with a spelling-themed jibe, but Emily still doesn't see the light

Success is the best revenge: Being served Subway sandwiches every day by a former school bully must feel exceptionally satisfying 

Science gag: A little harsh perhaps, but you can't blame him for one-upping this girl's joke

Slow clap: 'ILY' in this instance stands for 'I love you' - and it didn't garner the best response 

Buzz kill: 'Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end', this quote from John Lennon reads. 'He was shot in the end', one commenter retorted

Uh oh: This women is seemingly walking right into a trap here, appealing for the number of a drug dealer, only for a Facebook friend to give her the number for the police instead

Wise words: Not a bad response to chuck at the next person who tries to insult you

Even dogs can play! He may not know it, but this alsation has delivered the ultimate eye roll-inducing snub

Legendary: Winston Churchill was famed for this quick-witted comebacks, and this was perhaps his most iconic
