There’s an art to a killer burn – it has to be timely, appropriate level for the prior tweet, and to be accessible by a large amount of people.

If you get it wrong, no one will laugh (or they’ll think you’re mean). If you get it right, you’ll be a legend – just like these 14 people did recently on Twitter.

14. I feel personally attacked by this content.

Seriously, check yourself. No one is accomplishing anything.

13. That is quite an easy solution.

Also, people who tag artists in insulting tweets/reviews are just the absolute worst and deserve what they get.

Worse must be realising you’re too thick to change the station. https://t.co/p0iN8E7zww

12. That is not an accident.

Backing into the mailbox is an accident.

You don't just accidentally grow a dinosaur chicken. Y'all always lying https://t.co/wKO1gyJUMW

When you’re the best, you’re the best.

But seriously, group projects are the worst.

9. The burn just keeps going.

And improving as it builds.

Hi there. It woukd take a team of 300,000 engineers working for nearly 10 years to design a vehicle to plumb the crushing depths of my disappointment in you right now.

8. That should never be a thing.

Whoever created it deserves whatever is coming to them.

7. Key word is “used” to.

We can all do something really stupid once.

I used to have a dog that wasn’t afraid of traffic.

6. I mean it also means it’s time to get out of the water.

Because grip or no grip, the water is still getting cold.

Good to know…I just thought it meant it was time to get out the bathtub https://t.co/AQiZIBUBEj

5. That’s the sort of thing that really sticks with you.

Middle schoolers are absolutely evil.

one time in middle school i dated a girl for 4 days and when she broke up with me she posted on facebook “sometimes your knight in shining armor is really just a loser in tinfoil” and to this day that the sickest burn i’ve ever gotten
