People Who Got Savagely Called Out Online

Posted by E. González

Are you one of those people who think they can say whatever they want online without any consequences? Do you think you can hide behind your keyboard and get away with being a total jerk? Well, think again. Because in the age of social media, there’s no escaping the wrath of the internet. From celebrities to politicians, and even everyday people, anyone can find themselves in the hot seat when they say or do something stupid online. And trust us, the internet doesn’t forget. 

So buckle up and get ready to cringe as we take a look at some of the most epic call-outs in internet history.

Reddit by u/albatrossflyaway

Calling Out Transphobia

James here recently found himself the target of bigotry when a user made derogatory comments about trans people on his social media page. In a swift and powerful clapback, James put the user in their place and defended the trans community. Rather than ignoring the comment or engaging in an argument, James took a stand against hate speech and made it clear that bigotry has no place in his community. 

Reddit by u/dark_lord_of_balls

He called out the user for their hateful remarks and made it clear that he does not condone that kind of behavior. His response sends a powerful message that hate speech will not be tolerated, and that the trans community deserves respect and support. It’s important for public figures to use their platform to stand up for marginalized communities and call out bigotry when they see it.

Calling Out Homophobic Logic

This person’s supposed friend sent a text about not wanting to see gay marriage on TV because they didn’t want their kids to “be gay or something.” But this brilliant mind was quick to respond with a powerful analogy that exposed the flaws in this kind of thinking. They pointed out the absurdity of the user’s logic by comparing it to not wanting to see black people on TV because they didn’t want their kids to be black. 

Reddit by u/Glittering_Wolf_4835

When someone pointed out that being black is not a choice, the clapbacker drove the point home by calling out the original user for their ignorance. This exchange highlights the importance of calling out problematic attitudes and beliefs and shows how powerful a well-crafted clapback can be.

Exposing Real Estate Claims

This guy was bragging about buying his first house at 19, asking others what they were buying. No doubt this Tweet was subtly shading folks who were ‘less successful’ than him. But one person wasn’t impressed and decided to clap back with a pointed comment that exposed the truth behind the user’s claims.

Reddit by u/bfly1800

They suggested that the user’s dad may have actually bought the house, pointing out that they also run a company that seems to be similarly based on false claims. By exposing the user’s lack of credibility, they made it clear that they were not going to let them get away with bragging about things that are provably false.

When Irony Strikes

On social media, a user responded to a quote from the Statue of Liberty with a profanity-laced attack on Marxism. But one person was quick to clap back with a hilarious observation that left the user looking foolish. They pointed out that the quote in question was actually from the statue depicted in the user’s profile picture, making their anti-Marxist tirade all the more ironic. 

Reddit by u/beerbellybegone

This exchange reminds us that even in the midst of serious discussions and debates, there’s always room for a little humor and wit. A well-crafted clapback can not only put someone in their place but also entertain and delight those reading along.

Late-Night TV Reimagined…?

Well, well, well, it looks like CBS has crowned James Corden the new king of late-night TV. But not everyone is so easily impressed. In response to CBS’s bold claim, one Twitter user hit back with a witty retort, comparing Corden to none other than John Wayne Gacy, the infamous serial killer who moonlighted as a birthday party clown. Ouch, that’s gotta hurt.

Twitter @deathcripps

While we can’t deny that Corden has brought a fresh and lively energy to late-night TV, the comparison to Gacy does give us pause. After all, who wouldn’t be a little nervous with a clown lurking around in the wee hours of the night? But hey, maybe that’s just the kind of excitement we need to stay awake past our bedtime.

She Hit The Nail Right On The Head

It’s tough when someone you care about has cancer, and it’s understandable if it takes a toll on your mental health. So, if someone decides to break up with their boyfriend during his cancer battle, that’s a tough call to make. But when that same person decides to run a marathon in their ex’s honor, it can come across as a bit self-serving, you know?

Reddit by u/UrNemisis

Cancer is no joke, and using it as motivation for personal success can be seen as insensitive. Instead of making it about themselves, there are other ways to support those battling cancer. They could participate in fundraising events, volunteer with cancer organizations, or just be there to offer support.

We Guess He Doesn’t Exist

That comment is a classic example of someone making an unreasonable demand. It’s like, “Hey NASA, can you just show us a time-lapse video of one of the most complex and difficult things humanity has ever attempted? No biggie.” The sarcastic response is perfect. It’s like, “Oh, sure, let me just whip up a time-lapse video of a multi-year mission involving cutting-edge technology and some of the brightest minds in the world.”

Reddit by u/beerbellybegone

Oh, wait, you can’t even show me a time-lapse video of your own existence? Well, I guess that settles it. You must not exist.” That’s hilarious. It’s a great way to put things in perspective and poke fun at the absurdity of the original comment. Sometimes, you just have to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.

Backed Him Into A Corner

Wow, talk about an extreme tweet! Saying that anyone who doesn’t have a problem with a pride flag is a “repugnant human being” is pretty over the top. But this makes an astute observation. Seriously, the Vatican City flag? You’re cool with that, but a rainbow flag is a danger to children? That’s just ridiculous.

Reddit by u/hitcsevens

This was a perfect way to show how absurd the original tweet is. And absurd is putting it lightly, because let’s face it, that guy was pretty hateful. Sometimes, humor is the best way to deal with extreme comments. It can help to lighten the mood and show the other person how ridiculous they’re being. Well played!

Instagram Account Pokes Fun at Time Zones

When it comes to social media, the fun never stops. One night, a follower was surprised to see the Instagram account posting at an “unholy” hour. But the account had a witty response up its sleeve. They pointed out that the world is round, and there are other places beyond the American west coast where it’s daytime. “Europe” and “Asia” are just two of those places where people actually live.

Reddit by u/_inserttexthere__

They even joked that their marketing team invented “Europe” so they could take naps during work hours. This exchange was a hilarious reminder that we live in a global world, and that time zones can be confusing. But that doesn’t mean we can’t laugh about it.

She Needs To Look Inward

When it comes to being cold, nothing warms you up like a cozy jacket. But for one Twitter user, looks were just as important as comfort. After being offered a jacket by a guy in her lecture, she admitted that she would only take it if he was cute. That’s when another Twitter user chimed in with a savage response.

Reddit by u/beerbellybegone

They suggested that perhaps the cute guys in the lecture would have offered their jackets if they thought she was also cute. Ouch, that’s a harsh burn! Despite the slightly snarky reply, this exchange highlights the importance of first impressions and attraction. In the end, it’s the warmth of kindness and generosity that truly shines. Who knows, maybe the guy who offered his jacket was cute all along, in his own unique way.

Bigot Gets Schooled with a Punchline

Ah, the joys of the internet. Sometimes it feels like you can’t scroll through a single comment section without stumbling across some bigotry or prejudice. But fear not, for there are still people out there who know how to put the trolls in their place. Take, for example, this exchange about the Post Office and Ramadan.

Reddit by u/sobrique

Zing! Talk about shutting down bigotry with a dose of humor. In a world that sometimes feels overrun with hate and intolerance, it’s refreshing to see people respond with wit and sarcasm. It’s a reminder that humor can be a powerful tool for standing up to ignorance and prejudice.

Headline Reversal: Twitter User Corrects Misleading Title

It’s easy for headlines to paint a picture that doesn’t tell the whole story, and sometimes a bit of fact-checking is in order. When one headline seemed to blame adult children for costing their parents’ retirement savings, a Twitter user had the perfect response. They pointed out that many young adults are facing enormous student loan debt and extremely low wages. With no financial cushion to fall back on, it’s not surprising that some are turning to their parents for help.

Reddit by u/FewTeachinga

They’re pointing out the realities facing many young people today. It’s a reminder that we need to look beyond surface-level stories and understand the underlying systemic issues that contribute to financial inequality. So the next time you see a headline that seems too good (or too bad) to be true, take a closer look. 

Ease Up on the Restrictions!

Hey there, helicopter parents, we need to talk. We get it, you want to keep your kids safe and protected from the big, scary world. But let’s be real, being overly restrictive is not going to win you any popularity contests with your teens. Sure, you may think you’re doing them a favor by banning sleepovers and monitoring their every move, but all you’re really doing is pushing them away. 

Reddit by u/RedditDaniil

Let’s face it, no teenager wants to feel like they’re living in a prison or being followed around by a surveillance drone. If you want to avoid a teenage rebellion, it’s time to ease up on the restrictions and let your kids spread their wings (within reason, of course).

This Is Just Shameful

It’s hard to believe that in this day and age, there are still people who think it’s acceptable to pay disabled workers a lower wage. Not only is it discriminatory and unfair, but it’s also a violation of basic human rights. It’s time to put an end to this archaic practice once and for all. Disabled workers have just as much right to fair and equal pay as anyone else, and it’s up to us to make sure they receive it.

Reddit by u/Zidane_1710

Those who support paying disabled workers less are not only perpetuating inequality, but they’re also perpetuating harmful stereotypes about people with disabilities. They’re sending the message that disabled people are worth less than able-bodied people, which is not only untrue but downright offensive.

Twitter User Claps Back at Climate Change Denier

When it comes to climate change deniers, sometimes you just have to shake your head and laugh. And that’s exactly what one Twitter user did in response to a particularly frustrating argument. Using their age as a weapon, this user offered to lend the denier their old encyclopedia from 2nd grade, complete with pictures and all. Because hey, if a 2nd grader can understand the difference between weather and climate, surely an adult can too, right?

Reddit by u/_prototypal

This hilarious response not only shut down the denier’s argument, but it also highlighted the importance of education and critical thinking in today’s world. After all, it’s important to understand the science behind climate change and the impact it’s having on our planet.

How to Clap Back with Sass and Class

Dealing with toxic exes can be a real pain in the butt (pun intended). But fear not, for there are plenty of ways to clap back with sass and class. Whether it’s using a clever analogy or simply stating your boundaries, it’s important to stand up for yourself and put those exes in their place. Case in point, the exchange below.

Reddit by u/kashman643

So the next time an ex tries to slide into your DMs or hit you up with a questionable proposal, don’t be afraid to speak your mind. After all, there’s nothing more satisfying than shutting down a toxic ex with a well-timed clap back.

This Teacher Isn’t Holding Back

We all know that teachers are some of the most underappreciated and underpaid professionals out there. So when some Facebook poster tried to shame them for their low salaries, one commenter had the perfect clapback – with a side of humor. They called out the post for its absurdity, pointing out that only trolls or people with the intelligence of a potato would think that way. That’s an analogy we can get behind! 

Reddit by u/tykit2RIDE

So if you’re a teacher feeling down about your salary, just remember – according to this person’s worldview, you’re in the same boat as EMTs, social workers, and even pilots. And we all know that being able to fly a plane is not exactly a low-skilled job.

Imaginary Son Gets ‘Sick’ from Vaccines

In the age of social media, it’s all too easy for people to spout off false information and conspiracy theories about vaccines. But when one Twitter user claimed that their non-existent son got sick from a vaccine, they got a hilarious reality check from another user. The truth was exposed and the claim was shown to be as fake as the imaginary son in question.

Reddit by u/foreverwasted

This response serves as a hilarious reminder that when it comes to vaccines, it’s important to seek out accurate information and not fall for bogus claims. And if someone tries to spread lies about vaccines, there will be those who are ready to call them out on their B.S.

Deadbeat Dads Get Dragged

Ah, social media – where you can post pictures of your food and expose deadbeat dads in the same breath. And let’s be real, there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a deadbeat dad get called out for their BS. Whether it’s their excuses for not paying child support, their flimsy reasons for not showing up to visits, or just their general deadbeat-ness, these dads can’t hide from the all-seeing eye of the internet.

Reddit by u/closerview

But it’s not all bad news for dads like these – they might just learn a thing or two from the social media shaming. Maybe they’ll finally step up and start taking responsibility for their kids! One can only hope.

Twitter User Roasts Burger King’s Social Media Game 

In the world of fast food and social media, the stakes are high and the competition is fierce. But when one Twitter user called out Burger King’s social media game, they brought the heat and left the fast food giant speechless. With a scathing clapback that highlighted the company’s labor practices, the user pointed out that being nice on Twitter doesn’t mean much if you’re not paying your employees a living wage.

Twitter @oregonprogress

Companies need to do more than just have a witty Twitter account – they need to treat their workers with dignity and respect. And for those that fail to do so, there will be Twitter users ready and waiting to call them out on their hypocrisy.

Sisterhood of the Social Media Call-Outs

In a world that often pits women against each other, social media has become a powerful tool for calling out those who tear others down. Whether it’s body-shaming, slut-shaming, or just general mean-girl behavior, these women better watch out – the call-out culture is coming for them.

Reddit by u/albatrossflyaway

And let’s be real, there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing these bullies get taken down a peg or two. With a few clicks of a button, the community can come together to expose their lies, support the victims, and spread love and positivity. So ladies, let’s remember that we’re stronger together than we are apart.

Danny Zuker Delivers the Burn!

When Piers Morgan insulted the hit show Modern Family, he probably didn’t expect to get roasted by one of the show’s executive producers. But that’s exactly what happened when Danny Zuker fired back with a hilarious burn that left Morgan in the dust. With a simple reference to a character who fails at trying to be both Simon Cowell and Larry King, Zuker highlighted the absurdity of Morgan’s criticism and had fans of the show laughing out loud.

Reddit by u/allhailkingmagikarp

It was a reminder that in the world of social media, even celebrities can get called out by the quick-witted and the hilarious. And for those who dare to insult our beloved TV shows, well, they better be ready for the clapback.

Women Deserve to Enjoy Things Without the Hate

In a scathing response, this Facebook user pointed out that women should be able to mind their own business and enjoy what they want without being shamed for it. From pumpkin spice lattes to mermaid beach parties, women are often the target of hate for simply enjoying things. But as this woman points out, it’s time for us all to let women be and stop the unnecessary hate.

Reddit by u/variations_of_lola

It’s a reminder that we should all be able to enjoy the things that make us happy without fear of judgment or ridicule. And for those who can’t seem to mind their own business, well, maybe they should take a page from this woman’s book and learn to let women enjoy things in peace.

Dreams Don’t Dictate Reality, And Not All Men Are Trash

When a woman tweeted about dreaming that her partner cheated on her and was left unsure how to respond to his “good morning beautiful” text, one person stepped in to offer some hilarious advice. They reminded her that dreams aren’t real life and that if she’s feeling suspicious of her partner, it’s probably time to have a real conversation.

Reddit by u/aaronmet2as

And, of course, they couldn’t resist poking fun at the use of the #menaretrash hashtag. Just because someone is having trust issues with their partner doesn’t mean all men are garbage. It’s a reminder that blanket statements can be harmful and unproductive, and that it’s important to focus on individual relationships and not make sweeping generalizations.

News Flash: Prejudice is Still Prejudice

When a news headline tried to justify employers favoring men by claiming they believe men are better at certain tasks, one Twitter user wasn’t buying it. They quipped that this so-called “perception” is really just a fancy way of saying “prejudice against women,” and that no amount of fancy language can change that.

Reddit by u/LGBTCrimeBoss

It’s a hilarious take on a serious issue – excuses like these only serve to perpetuate harmful biases and maintain the status quo of inequality in the workplace. The truth is, we need to do better and ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed regardless of gender or any other factor.

Young People Want Jobs, Not Miracles

Oprah Winfrey made this comment about young people and their expectations for success. But one person wasn’t having it and decided to clap back. They pointed out that young people aren’t looking for miracles, they just want the basics: a job, financial stability, and a chance at a decent future. Let’s face it, being a young person in today’s world is tough. With mounting debt, a difficult job market, and uncertain futures, it’s no wonder that some people feel frustrated. 

Reddit by u/Comfortablejack

And when someone like Oprah makes a comment that seems to miss the mark, it’s understandable that people might feel the need to speak up. So, while we all love Oprah, it’s important to remember that success doesn’t happen overnight, and young people aren’t looking for miracles. They just want a fair shot at a decent life.

Sorry, Your Hypocrisy is Showing

When Buzzfeed asked their followers to share their most disgusting displays of wealth during the pandemic, one Twitter user couldn’t resist calling them out. They pointed out Buzzfeed’s own display of wealth when they bought out Huffington Post, laid off staff, and shut down HuffPost Canada, all while pretending to care about social justice issues.

Reddit by u/LegalSirs

It’s a savage take on the issue of corporate greed and hypocrisy, and a reminder that actions speak louder than words. Whether it’s a media company or an individual, if you’re flaunting your wealth while others suffer, you’re not part of the solution – you’re part of the problem.

Bible Burn, Anyone?

When a woman called out a shirt that says “best gay cousin” as inappropriate, one Twitter user couldn’t resist clapping back. They reminded her of the biblical teachings of love and acceptance and suggested that maybe she needs a little refresher course in Christianity. It’s a reminder that judgmental attitudes have no place in a world that needs more love and understanding. 

Reddit by u/ExpertAccident

Whether it’s a shirt or any other harmless expression of individuality, we should all be embracing the things that make us unique. So to anyone who thinks they have the right to judge others, it’s time to take a seat and crack open that Bible.

Twitter User Gets Schooled on Classism

When a Twitter user decided to insult Ohio University students for their socioeconomic status, they probably didn’t expect to get roasted in return. But that’s exactly what happened when one person fired back with a hilarious clapback that had everyone laughing. This tweet highlights the absurdity of shaming others for their economic status. And let’s be real, it’s pretty hard to argue with someone who’s dropping zingers like this.

Reddit by u/_Sunshine117_

It’s a reminder that no matter how much money you have, you can’t buy class – and that’s something this Twitter user could stand to learn. So here’s to the Ohio University students, standing tall and proud despite the haters. Keep doing you, and keep making us laugh in the process!

Simu Liu Claps Back at Tokenism Accusations

Simu Liu is a Canadian actor and stuntman, best known for his role as the titular character in Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” He clapped back when Huffpost expressed support for an Asian king thriving in Hollywood, but also voiced concerns about a single actor getting the bulk of Asian male roles. 

Reddit by u/radioactivecowz

Liu took issue with this characterization, asking the news source what roles he was referring to and whether there was a quota for “Asian male roles” in Hollywood. Liu went on to explain that he has taken on roles that were not written specifically for Asian characters, and that the industry has been able to reshape stories to include more representation on screen.
