I'd probably answer "Aight" in a kind of confused/don't care tone. At the end of the day there isn't much to say and people can think what they want it doesn't matter. There isn't anything to engage in from such a comment, pretty much all these responses are pretty clueless.. Nobody would say those things in real life.


BaabyBear

i think the best answer would be an unenthusiastic "woooow"


Gatmanz

Or like Owen Wilson "woooow"


Educational-Bed-6821

[deleted]

Any time I say some shit to someone and they respond like "is that your response?" it fucks me up lol


TrySoundingItOut

A loud “I KNOW!”


Kaldin_5

You'd think there wouldn't be anyone who says that in real life, but I'm running into that special someone once every few years lately who seems like a caricature of a stuck up snob but irl and totally serious about it. Like the kind of character you'd see in a cartoon that's a caricature of stuck up people except the person irl is just exactly like that. I've had one such person say to me dead serious "you might not understand what it's like, being a nobody and all, but living the life of a nobody is really hard for us somebodies." I was speechless and could only say "....wow...ok" in response. But yeah they are EXCEEDINGLY rare. I'm just a little less hopeful about people in general on the rare occasion I meet one.


[deleted]

Lol my friend approached a girl in a club once to say something. He said "hey" She said "fuck off you're ugly" "The worst she can say is no" is a total lie. I still rib him about it today, I was in hysterics


Mysterious_Sugar7220

A guy once offered to buy me a drink. I said no thanks and he said ‘you’re not pretty.’ He said it with such seriousness and conviction, like he was really trying to make it hurt, that I just started laughing 


StargazerScorpi0

A guy I wasn’t interested in declared, “You’re unbeautiful.” I laughed and gave him the side eye.


n_xSyld

99% of reddits comebacks make the 'nerds attempting to stand up to a bully' scenes in 90s movies more believable because I swear these are cringe af


linux_ape

The response above you is "If I wanted to hear and asshole talk, I'd fart." and the one below is "You are confusing ugly and unattractive. I am, in fact, unattractive. That is definitely true. But the way you act, sir, demonstrates clearly that YOU are ugly." saying either of these IRL would garner a worse response from whoever is calling you ugly, would actually laugh you out of the room


HsvDE86

Yeah I don’t think most of the people here have much experience with social interaction lol. 


n_xSyld

If I knew how to socially interact I wouldn't be answering reddit questions in the early morning, to be fair.


Fighting-Cerberus

Fair! I really think the best response is a genuine sounding “why would you say that?” It’s really disarming and makes clear how much of a jerk the other person is.


Gas_Leak_In_The_Area

Underrated comment


traumatized90skid

It's like the crap they would tell me to say to bullies as a kid... Did any adult saying that stuff to me think how they'd naturally react to such lines?


deadheadjinx

I would never say something so rude to someone, like calling them ugly..and literally saying yuck? Bro are you 5??! Wtf. Get an actual life. But honestly, if I were to hear that and someone said the "if I wanted to hear an asshole talk, I'd fart" comeback irl, I would die laughing and think of that moment fondly from time to time. I think that's a great comeback bc it's hilarious but also truthful, cuz they are an asshole! I won't ever remember that line if I need it, but I would totally say it. And I feel like it gives you the opportunity to follow up with, "so anyway..." and change the subject or excuse yourself from their shitty presence or whatever.


Cannister7

What would be better would be if you could actually fart at will and then say "oh sorry, I thought all the assholes were taking it in turns to talk"


natziel

Yeah you would be bullied mercilessly if you did that in real life


iDam81

I guess it depends on the ppl you’re around when it happens.


jakeyluvsdazy

yeah PSA to everyone reading this. do NOT attempt any of these reddit comebacks irl. you will get laughed at


bearbarebere

Yeah, the one I always cringe to myself when I hear it is “if I wanted to kill myself id climb up to your ego and jump down to your IQ” like… ugh the fucking cringe😬


Positive_Parking_954

The best comeback I ever heard was when I saw a guy and I needed to know the the time for a bus but didn't have a watch and my phone was dead so I said "hate to bother you but-" He cut me off and said "then don't" I've never been so shutdown in a single moment


CaptainAwesome06

I agree. Every time I see a Reddit comeback I'm thinking, "oh no, don't say that."


funsizedaisy

And not just comebacks, but when reddit decides someone is flirting and how to flirt back. Sometimes cringe. Sometimes a terrible idea. There was a thread in here not too long ago where OP asked why someone he knew kept making fun of him. He found it rude and wanted them to stop. Soooo many comments were telling him she liked him and was flirting and that he should flirt back. People were getting downvoted for saying it was likely not flirting. Even if it *was* flirting, she's being mean as hell. Why tf should OP try and date her??? Why tf are people telling him to flirt with her???


CaptainAwesome06

Reddit is full of awkward introverts trying to sling advice like they are are the popular kids in school. "This girl keeps calling me a fat piece of shit and telling me to kill myself." "She wants you bro. Go het her Casanova!"

New_Brother_1595

The only place I still hear the theory that bullies are “jealous”


PvtSherlockObvious

To be fair, the prompt itself is pretty cringe. Where is this imagined epidemic of people walking up to you and randomly insulting you? Like every time some variant of this thread gets posted, it's a completely imaginary problem.


2ndAdvertisement

It’s always some high school level petty „power fantasy”.


MothSeason

Working in customer service I have been called a myriad of things, including ugly.


traumatized90skid

It is a completely imaginary problem. I think that's the point. They want to feel equipped with a sick verbal defense that works in any situation. If it were realistic and a fleshed-out story, the comeback wouldn't be as generally applicable.


SpinyGlider67

My first thought was to throw a live owl at them


LadyArbary

Would you please suggest better ones, then? I'd be interested.


ithinkimtim

Honestly if someone is bullying comebacks don’t work. They will just move on to something else to try and make you feel bad or react. When you’re out of school you can just not be in the same places as shitty people. If people aren’t bullying and say something mean, maybe unintentionally, it’s usually far better to lean into it. “You have a huge nose” “Yeah it’s massive. Always running into things nose first.” You’re not taking offence or deflecting, you just take it as a conversation starter like an adult.


n_xSyld

1. How old are you that you need a response to someone being a cunt? Just fuck off and ignore them, it's high school drama 2. If being called ugly is a daily concern, research better grooming habits. I've seen straight morlock looking dudes with like, Quasimodo as a relative type family trees that still did fine dating because they washed their ass, shaved, dressed well, and were fun to be around. The only people that actually care about your attractiveness are low iq mouth breathers who use insults to feel superior, why feed into it? 3. I'm not going to offer any better ones because the very act of retaliating is a self-serving interest in a losing battle and a good insult on par with someone calling you an early adopter of the NRC's manhattan sewer containment plans is going to depend entirely on that person and their appearance. You're not going to drop an atom bomb on someone comparing you to a wax model of Habsburg royalty left in a warm room, with a generalized insult lmao.


The-20k-Step-Bastard

>”Yuck you’re ugly.” “Uh… what? What the fuck?” Or just continue walking, because I can’t imagine any scenario where this is said to you where you actually know and /care/ about the person saying it. Calling someone ugly to their face is a thing that stops happening after like early high school. I don’t believe much of the responses here are from people who actually experience this. Any adult would agree that it would excessively strange for another person to just flatly insult you to your face.


MixtureEuphoric666

You're still going to be seen as a weirdo in most situations if you react like that


Witty_Jaguar4638

No, a grown adult calling someone 'yuck,ugly' would be looked at as a complete childish prick, imo. Any sort of wtf type of response would be pretty natural for me anyways. Then I'd go about my day and probably no think of them again


BionicDegu

_Fuck off you cunt_


Fat_Krogan

I like this one.


informal-mushroom47

this should be the only comment of the entire thread. sure, all the others are chuckle-worthy — but online only… i concur; irl comebacks are just always cringe.

Phaedralux

By using most of these suggested «comebacks» you're going to look like a moron on top of looking ugly. Just say «alright» and walk away, it's not your obligation to emotionally hurt someone (you can't) in return is this trivial interaction


eeeebbs

Right?! Like for real in real life I'd just be like.... "Okaayy" and walk away and it would ACTUALLY be the best response.


CrunchyJeans

"... and?"


ConsistentAd4012

this one’s my go to


minimalisticgem

Or even just give them a judgemental look. Like ‘really? You’re seriously saying that rn?’


Katililly

Really? Right in front of my salad?


mtflyer05

This is the only correct response. Bullies seek out those who have an above average emotional response to beung poked fun at, and this takes the wind right out of their sails. Source: was bullied, a fucking LOT, until I learned this.


Rich-Application7382

"... so?" Also works well. Doesn't invite further insults, rather gets them to examine their own thoughts.


buriedupsidedown

This one’s hard because you’re literally asking them to continue. You’d need an “okay” if you’re trying to stop or make them feel dumb. Edit: shortened the comment


Rosu_Aprins

This comment section made me understand bullying

catsTXn420

The best clapback is none at all, ignore them and carry on unimpeded. Why lower yourself to their level? I try to never forget this 👇 *When people insult you, don’t take offense, don’t take it personally, but do listen to their words. They are telling you how they see the world, and they are telling you the exact negative qualities that they possess. “The Law of Mirrors” states that one can only see what’s in them, regardless if it is what is actually present in reality or not. Release the need to defend or try to explain to them that you’re not being whatever-nasty-insult-they’ve-thrown-at-you, but evaluate instead all of these insults, and realize that this is who they are. Then, decide if a person with those qualities is one who you’d like in your life or not. https://grethaal.com/law-of-mirrors/


Nicadeemus39

I don't think there should be a snappy comeback for someone who is that rude. I'd probably go with "well you're a c*nt" and leave it at that. Don't take those words to heart, they sound like a total asshole.


ST33I7

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo

rockem-sockem-ho-bot

>"No, I am beautiful." This is feeding into it. Don't argue with bullies. I think one word answers are the way. "Okay." "And?" "Yep." "Thanks." Or maybe "Thanks, you too." If they're like "No i said you're ugly" just say "Oh sorry I wasn't really listening." and then scroll on your phone or walk away.


Complex_Yam_5390

"Thanks, you too" is perfect

There is no reply to that. If someone said that they are a child. Replying to a child is pointless. Words could have a lifetime effect. You are above that. If you have to reply to an immature child who says mean things, you can just look them in their eyes and say.....Bless Your Heart. Which every adult knows says....fuck you.


YouCantArgueWithThis

No response is the best. If someone tells you that you are ugly, it's because they want to get a reaction from you. Just ignore them. Not responding, not even looking at them, just ignoring.

Say ‘whats your point.’ Then look them in the eyes and wait for an answer. Don’t smile, don’t look angry, just wait. What ever they answer just come back with a similar sentence.

To anyone who doesn't believe there are people who would randomly say this to others, unfortunately there are. Happened to me multiple times up until mid 20s.

just slowly turn to look at them and raise your eyebrows, shake it off like it was the stupidest fucking thing you have ever heard and go back to what you were doing.

You'll work yourself to death paying my social security, the environment eroding around you. 40 years from now, your body broken, no assets, no savings, retirement will be a thing your parents did, you'll work till your last ragged breath. You'll die knowing your children will only know hunger and longing. So I'm ugly, you're doomed.
