Are you sick of when people have annoyed you, and then you don't know what to say and people laugh at you? Well with this guide, you can learn how to get people laughing at the person who insulted you, or give them a taste of their own medicine.

Step 1  

Don't listen. This really can work sometimes. For example: Person: You are such a loser! You (to your friend): Do you hear something?

Step 2  

Send their insult back at them. For example: Person: "You are such a loser." You: "If I'm a loser, then I'd hate to know what you are!" However, retaliating often results in an argument that nobody wins and makes you the lesser person. And it is usually what they want to happen.

Step 3  

Use the one line that almost never fails: "You wanna bet?" If they say yes, go up to someone and ask them if they think you are whatever the person said you are or do. For example: Person: "You are so gay!" You: "You wanna bet?" Person: "Yeah, OK!" You: (go up to someone and say): "Do you think I'm gay?" And then you can take it from there. Beware - the other person may agree and you'll end up a laughing stock.

Step 4  

Say,"It takes one to know one." And smile smugly.

Step 5  

Pretend they are a breeze. When they talk say "Is there a wind in here?" and "There it is again!" and "It's coming from right over there (point to person); that's so weird!" If you're on a bus with no open windows say "There are no open windows - where is that breeze coming from?".

Step 6  

If you're near your friends, and only one guy's making fun of you, just start telling him every fault that he has. This is definitely useful when with a group of friends who will back you up.

Step 7  

If you're as powerful as the guy, and have people that you know will back you up, ask him if he wants to take it outside. He'll probably back down or not show at all.

Tips

  • Have a punch line, for when you have sent their insult back at them, "Ooooh burn!" always works
  • Sometimes, if you do it too often you will look like a loser, have a sort of salute, maybe, punching the air, spinning around or copying the sort of salute a famous person does. For example, I either do the DX sign or Mick Foley's salute if your into wrestling.
  • Act "cool" stand there with sort of raised eyebrows and a small but winning smile, sort of to say "I'm better than you." And if you are standing against a wall, lean against it.

Warnings

  • Never laugh at your own insults, it ruins, or "kills", them
  • Unless you can take the consequences, never say it to someone who has more authority than you, like a teacher or parent.
  • Never say really hurtful ones to your friends, or too often, unless they know that you don't mean them or it makes them laugh. You don't want to go losing a friend here, or having lots of people hate you. Trust me, lots of people hate me and I lost a really good friend due to this.
