A comeback has to arrive immediately or not at all, which is why it helps to have a few ready in advance. This is our collection of insult comebacks, ranked by reader votes — short, sharp replies for when someone has a go at you and you would rather not think of the perfect response three hours later in the shower. They work in group chats, roast battles and arguments you did not start. The best ones are brief. A comeback that needs a run-up has already lost.
