There's nothing worse than being on the receiving end of an insult and not being able to think of a good comeback (although you'll eventually come up with the best response ever...about three days later). As you can see from this list of the best comebacks compiled by Bored Panda however, some people have no problem coming up with a snarky, witty, or downright savage, yet funny roast when the situation requires one.
Not only these savage comebacks serve as a shaming matter for the person who deserved it and got burnt, but the best roasts also, as weird as it may sound, teaches the principles of morals. And it doesn't really matter that the roastee didn't expect to learn a thing or two, they did so anyway.
Scroll down for some of the best responses and hilariously good roasts we could find. Don't forget to vote for your favorite!

This one happened TO me. Absolutely brutal, but hilarious.
I was on a job site with a co-worker named Scott, redoing some plumbing in an empty house. We had an Ipod going, and a song by White Zombie comes on. I can't remember the name of it, but the intro has audio clips of a woman having an orgasm. I yell to Scott "Hey, I think your wife is here!" He was sweeping up some dust after drilling a hole through some concrete, so, he scoops it up, walks over, and very slowly pours it on the floor in front of me with a smirk on his face and says "Hey Pat, your mom's here."
My mother had been cremated about 3 weeks before this happened.

I had an associate at work telling me how they used to volunteer at a Salvation Army Shelter that would take in the homeless on cold nights for free. Apparently one of the people they took in that night was very upset that he had to share the room they were providing and started making a scene. His roommate told him to "go to the front and ask for a refund".

Guy in my class in junior high had psoriasis and had to use a Vaseline type cream on his scalp, making his hair super greasy. We had a young male substitute teacher and the student kept ribbing him all class... just constantly bugging him, saying things like he could tell he's never taught before, he should consider a new job, etc. etc. Really annoying. Finally the teacher looks at him and says, "Well at least I didn't comb my hair with a pork chop this morning before coming to school." Whole class erupts. Kid didn't say a word after that.

Coworker called lead. Lead was on speakerphone.
Coworker notified us he's coming in for work a little late - they were trying to have a baby and his wife thought that day needed to be a day they tried based on her cycle and all that.
lead says "fine [name], we don't mind you showing up 30 seconds late. Good luck!"
Crew died laughing.

My 4-year old was mad at me one night.
He tells me: "OH YEA, WE'LL I'M GONNA SELL YOUR BIRTHDAY ON EBAY!" I matter-of-factly informed him that I don't need anymore birthdays anyway. His retort: "AND NO ONE IS GONNA BUY IT!"
WTF. I've hung out with some real degenerates in my 35 years, but no one has cut me as deep as that.

Kid I was fighting with in middle school - (paraphrase) I bet your parents think you're a failure.
Me - Your parents don't even know you're a failure (he was adopted.)
I felt a little bad afterwards, but the kid was a prick and still is 15 years later.
