Here is a collection of some of our favorite smartalecs that couldn’t resist a good quip.
1) Mystery that will remain mysterious
When the bookstore staff isn’t helping patrons, they amuse themselves with patron tears by turning the books you’re itching to browse backward.
You’re welcome.
2) Taking Instructions Literally
Mom left her daughter a note to clean the bathroom as if the Queen of England was coming for a visit. Excellent, sarcastic young one. Excellent.
3) Pool Is Slippery
It is common to see wet floor signs around the pool area. But, actually placing the sign in the pool itself is a level of sarcasm we have to commend. Bravo, good friend.
4) Reverse Psychology
How the heck do you get out of this one? Seriously, keep trying to figure out what to ask without going “If you tell me how to draw something else, I will throw these markers.”
5) Its All In The Name
This poor guy has the last name Hedgeh, and some wiseguy keeps adding “hog” to the end of it. Hedgeh is clearly not impressed.
6) Outsmarted
This lovesick fellow thought he was being clever not giving Katie any option for saying no. But Katie is no fool. Well done Katie!
7) Get The Message?
Well sir, all you had to say is “wrong door!”Hmmph.
8) By Any Means Necessary
This gets the help he needs by comitting a crime to get their attention. A mix of sarcasm, desperation and bad-boy.
9) A Canny Friendship
There is always one smart alec waiting in the wings to come back with something “cute.” Seriously, next level.
10) A Little Men’s Room Advice
Not quite sarcastic, but can you imagine the other sounds? Okay, don’t. Don’t do that to yourself.
11) AI Humor
There may be some that think robots are not made for humour, but Siri just might be proving them wrong.
12) A Little Bit Of Sarcasm
Anyone that gets smart-mouthed with a police officer really is taking their chances, but you have to admit that this quick thinker was right on the ball.
13) Checked Out
This reasonable request was met with not one, but several sarcastic replies. Sarcastic group-think if you will. At it’s best.
14) Insulted Intelligence
This is sarcasm at its finest. This is what really matters.
15) A Beer Drinkers Quote
Priorities people. Get some like this guy!
16)More Details Needed
Wife requested sandwich halves. Husband delivered and then some. You put the puzzle pieces together.
17)No Large Print Jobs
Could you be a little more specific? This one’s only one page so…
18)The Great Illusion
People keep all kinds of things in their backseat. When this fellow put his hat and coat in the backseat
a Police Officer asked him if he had a dead body in the back. Instead of being serious or curious as to why he was asking, the driver made a joke of it. Good job the officer wasn’t gun happy!
19) Back To Basics
A wonderful reminder of just how dependent we have become on modern technology.
20) A Second Look
This one might take a second read to catch the jest of it. Some may find it funny while others will give it no more than a bit of a smile.
21) Case of The Office Food Identity
It has always been a common practice for office workers to put their names on the food they store in the
office fridge. For some apparently this means nothing as one worker gobbled up a sandwich he said was name Kevin.
22)A Ray Of Sunshine
Sarcasm isn’t always put into writing and is often used verbally. Like when someone is in a great mood
but the other person is feeling nasty and makes the comment “Well aren’t we just a ray of friggin sunshine.”
23) An Interpretation Of Half
For the youngster who was instructed to eat half of his hot dog he did comply. Just not in the way that most would expect him to.
24) The Many Meanings of Seal
Sometimes important signage is ignored. This picture about breaking the seal will certainly grab
the attention of all those who see it and there will be no excuse for not adhering to the signage.
25) Take Your Chances
The person preparing this sign either a) ran out of letters b) got bored with their job, or c) really wanted to bring a chuckle or two to those that read it.
26) Meeting Etiquette
Some people think it’s funny to give extra directions when common sense should prevail.
27)Men Named Bill
It is understandable why flyers are not supposed to be tacked to fences. This message has not been taken seriously and had they used the word “flyers” instead of “bills” then they would not have left themselves open to this practical joke. As you can see all of the posters pasted here are people named “Bill”.
28) A Grafitti Comeback
Getting caught messing up any public place is not good. Even if the medium being used will wash off like in this incident. The individual who was writing on the concourse got busted, but took it a step further when he replied to a snarky remark made by the officer.
29) Read It Twice
You might not catch the humour of this the first time you read it, so if you didn’t then give it a second shot. I am sure that Tom Hanks is no stranger to this type of trolling.
30) Right Back At Ya
31) Coming Back To Bite Ya
Sarcasm runs rampant in the office setting and it can get to some people as this sign clearly indicates.
The message being delivered by the sign however, doesn’t seem to be having much of an impact.
32)Lost Competition
It seems like everything is a competition nowadays. Offering a reward for a commonly lost item like an iPad can create a war on who is going to offer the better incentive.
33) Out Of The Mouths Of Babes
An art teacher asked students to draw pictures of their families enjoying Thanksgiving dinner. One student drew a table and chairs. When the teacher asked her where the food and family was, she sarcastically replied: “They are doing the dishes”.
34)Everlasting Love Or is It?
If you want a good comeback the next time someone tells you that love never dies, remind them about Jack in the Titanic.
35) One Smart Kid
36) The Sarcastic GPS
The last thing a person wants to hear when they are stuck in traffic is sarcasm. This is not likely to happen
if they are travelling alone. Unless they have a smart-ass GPS like this one.
37) Following Instructions
There are some people who are almost ocd when it comes to following instructions. Then there are others who will follow them when they are convenient like getting a prime parking spot.
38) Second Guessing
This comment about someone being pleasant will certainly get a lot of people second-guessing themselves. They will probably try to think back if they have said something unpleasant. At the very least it will take most off guard.
39) One Smart Dog
A lot of dogs like to chew, but it looks like this one was being selective of what it wanted to munch on. Was
it just coincidence or was there something in this book he didn’t want his owner to know?
40) Power Of Suggestion
Some believe in the power of suggestion and there are others that don’t. Then there are some who believe in the predictions of the future and others that don’t. But, most who crack open a fortune cookie do so with curiosity, so when the message such as this one is read then chances are truer words have never been spoken in a Chinese fortune cookie.
41) Bike Parking
42) Marketing Mess Up
Sometimes marking gurus get a little sarcastic probably without meaning to. For example, this vending machine that is filled only with water, yet the caption on the machine says decisions, decisions. It kind of insults the intelligence of the user.
43) Setting THe Customer Straight
Those who serve the public are often suggested to sarcasm and no doubt they get tired of it. It seems like one of these establishments it sending a subtle message to his patrons along with a little charge.
44) The Come Back
A student got upset with his teacher telling the student “you gotta be like me”, “you gotta be a man”. The student came back with “Well which one, do you want me to be a man or to be like you.
I think the teacher got the point.
45) Machine Sarcasm
Vending machine owners often have difficulty with consumers using the right change, so out of desperation they may get a little frustrated and resort to some sarcasm.
46) Taking Chances With The Boss
Some employees feel totally comfortable with their boss so don’t mind joking around and throwing in a bit of sarcasm once in a while just like this employee did. Lucky for her or him that they didn’t get their walking papers.
47) Short And Sweet
Teachers get exasperated with their students sometimes and threaten to call their home. One teacher asked her student What would her Mother say if called home right now? The student’s response was “Hello.” Wonder what the teacher had to sayÉ
to that?
48)Siri Can Be Scary
49) Proper Spelling Matters
Some may think that the occasional spelling error may not have any serious consequences. Then for them they have not met the person that took this spelling error for the calendar to the next level.
50) The Train Has Left The Station
A teacher always had the habit of saying “I lost my train of thought.” Then one day a student responded
“Its okay sir there were no important passengers on board.
51) A Matter of Assumption
Anyone that is working with a knife is rightly going to assume that it is going to be sharp. I guess the
manufacturers of this particular one didn’t want to make any assumptions.
52) An Honest Answer
Doctors ask new patients a lot of questions and some of them may seem a little useless. However, when this Doctor asked her patient if her apartment living was stable and the patient responded with that she had lived there for several months and it hadn’t fallen over it raises the question was the patient being sarcastic or genuinely truthful?
53)Natural Or Learned
There are some people where sarcasm comes to them naturally. Then there are others who have to resort to studying and memorizing a few short retorts. For them, they would probably invest in a sarcasm machine if one existed.
54) No Sympathy
There is a lot of talk about people getting their accounts hacked on Facebook. However, there are some that are just not sympathetic to this plight pointing out that the accounts were fake anyone. The individual who has been hacked is not likely to find much humour in this.
55) A Basic Lesson
Some teachers that are frustrated will resort to sarcasm just as this teacher did when giving a lesson on what a bookshelf is.
56) Somebody Got Bored
Everyone is used to those obnoxious security bots, but just imagine what it’s like for those that have to
create them. Obviously somebody got bored and wanted to add a touch of humour to their task.
57)Freedom
A common line is call me when you are free. The recipient of this comment obviously had a different response other than okay, but the person delivering the request doesn’t appear to have seen the humour in this.
58) Age Before Beauty
There are some people that are always ready to do a kind deed like this fellow holding a door open for an elderly woman. Instead of showing appreciation she accused the guy of holding the door open just because she was a woman. His comeback of sarcasm was pretty good when he said it was because she was old.
59) Keeping A Straight Face
There are times when teachers are the brunt of sarcasm, and they should retaliate with some sort of punishment, but it is just too funny and they can’t keep a straight face. A good example. A student had the giggles and the teacher sarcastically asks her if she saw something shiny that entertained her. Another student quipped up immediately and said “yeah Mister, your head.” It just so happens the teacher was, in fact, going bald.
60)Venting
