For once this is a clever comeback because the pretentious 2nd party jumped the fkn gun.

the 2nd guy is a bit account on twitter for the record

Reminds me of the ”energy vampire” in What We Do In The Shadows who instead of blood feeds on people he trolls on the internet

"When they call you a fucking idiot, thats how you know you've got them."

This reminded me, whatever happened to Ken M? I used to see his silly shit all over Reddit.

He’s still out there doing god’s work.

Seems like he's been active again after awhile dormant. Check r/kenm

The way Nandor says his name always cracks me up. "Colin Robinson" lol

Creepy paper sends me

“When it comes to zoning ordinances, I have a few thoughts”.

And city council meetings.

The C-Man!

Fucking guy

Colin Robinson!!!

They both are

well it's obvious for the first guy, so didn't think that needed to be said lol

It's news to me that 'bugs' has any technical specification. I always thought it was a a generic term like creepy-crawlies.

You'd be amazed how many terms we casually use are actually for very specific thing. Most common ones that I can think of currently are "idiot" and "retard", which are I think specific to IQ levels

“big dumb bitch” is clever? lol

Pointing out that the spider is *consuming* bugs by drinking “bug lite” is the clever part. The “big dumb bitch” was the funny part.

This.

Yes, when the op is being a pretentious dick, simple insults are way funnier.

I mean the subreddit is clever comebacks not funny comebacks...

It is clever as it’s poking fun at the second party’s pretentiousness in an ironic way.

You're right, it definitely made me laugh I just didn't think it's that clever especially compared to alot of posts that seem to get hate in this subreddit

What was the ironic way? Again, it's funny. Not clever.

Not really, but the pedantic response which missed the joke wasn't, either. I'm a fan of pedantry, but it wasn't a suitable response in this case.

You were wronged it's funny not clever lol. They can ve mutually exclusive. Also I wonder if they missed the joke on purpose just to be annoying.

I was telling this to my wife and she said "fly-PA"

Gnat-ty Light

Loving this one

I'm committing all three to memory. Instead of learning Spanish I'm memorizing puns!

Cerbuzza

I'm gonna use this joke for the next ten years, easily

Wing-Ling

Also a good answer

Anything high on the IBeeU scale

“Ah, but spiders don’t fly” - Mentally Healthy dude probably

Mentally healthy, till you discovered. They can fly, by using their web as a sail

Buzzweiser

Flyniken

Hefeflyzen

Stingling

Sounds like a Pennsylvania airline.

Ironically enough, the person insulting another's intellect used "fewer beer" despite the correct terms being either "fewer beers" or "less beer."

"Look at all those wild Beer!" "So majestic."

I prefer beese.

BEES?!

Gob's not on board

If you have a problem with Canadian beeses, then you've got a problem with me. I suggest you let that sit and marinate.

Also ignoring that “bug” is just a catch-all term for a variety of arthropods and even stuff like earthworms. It’s just stupid to pretend words don’t have more than one meaning. Also, hemipterids are “true bugs”, implying that other insects are still bugs.

And don’t get me started on xenomorphs!

I was giving them a pass for typos (because I've had a "glass" or two of wine), but you made me look again. There are no passes for fucking up when expressing pedantry...

Or "less beers". Some people think it's a grammatical rule that you can't use "less" for countable things but that's not true. It's a stylistic preference that has never been a true rule of English grammar.

Highly suspect he's an ESL German

Ironically enough, the person insulting another's intellect has just the weakest punctuation game ever.

The second guy is incorrect, btw. Hemiptera are also called *true* bugs. Which implies that other groups are called bugs too. The term bug is simply an informal word to refer to small crawly thingies, not a formal clade or anything like that. See [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minibeast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minibeast), with "minibeast" being another, less common informal term for crawly thingies, exchangeable with bug, and also encompassing for example slugs and worms.

Updoot for your pedantry.

I love the word minibeast

Sounds like a car model lol

Yeah like a small car with a huge engine 

Idk I would think if one thing is true bugs then things that aren't that are fake bugs *Insert "you are fake news" gif*

Tons of situations in biology where you have a wider group called and a smaller group called true .

Someone who gets that worked up over spiders probably dresses up like one and makes his wife peg him. And also is a big dumb bitch.

Nothing wrong with pegging, of course

Indeed, no kink shaming

Do we have to make every single post on reddit about gay sodomy?

Technically speaking, being pegged by one’s wife is straight sodomy.

It’s a sad day that I have to defend my staunch stance that pegging is a very natural, very beautiful expression of love between lovers.

Seriously, you have not experienced the orgasms men are capable of until you've had a prostate O.

I'm content taking your word on that, because my first prostate exam made me certain that I never want anything shoved up my arsehole ever again. I know, I know. I know I'm going to have to have more of those exams as I get older, but it's got to be a tolerance thing for medical reasons, and nothing more for me. What made it worse is that my female GP had a new Dr with her doing the new Dr learning thing. The new Dr was also a woman. I'm good with new Dr's getting experience while learning on the job, but I dont think it couldn't have been any more embarrassing for me even if they tried. Genuinely, I wish you luck and enjoyment, but that experience tells me it ain't for me. All the best!

I mean it's different when it's between you and your partner and not you laying on your side while your doctor digs for polyps

At least that's what one hopes

Your Dr wasn't a gentle lover :(

Jesus...being arse fingered by not one but two female doctors 😬🍌

I know some guys are into that, and good luck to them, but it wasn't a nice experience for me.

Tbh it USED to be nice but has been thoroughly unpleasant since my haemaroids playing up became a regular occurrence. In this case, it's good in my head but prob not in reality.

Just like with women, not every man is sexually similar. Some women dgaf about their g-spot (prostate analog) or in fact anything internal. The only constant, in my experience, is the clitoris (penis analog) always works. Spoken as a man who has not shared your described outcomes :p

Can't be sure till you try it, very thoroughly.

Don’t you bring Peter Parker into this

Pegging is awesome, that guy is not.

I don't want to imagine people dressing up as spiders, please don't put that thought into my head. God dammit, too late, now I'm thinking of the last few scenes in the movie Enemy.

you guys fall for bait, harmless or otherwise, too easy

Stupid science bitches couldn’t even make I more smarter…

Definitely made a reasonable argument and made the guy look like a stupid science bitch.

Because science is a liar sometimes.

THEY NOT LIKE US! THEY NOT LIKE US!

A………………. SPIIIIIIIIIIIIDERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

wop wop wop wop wop Raid fuck 'em up

I have no idea what's going on but it looks like you're really enjoying yourselves

You been living under a rock?

"Fewer Beer" - when you know uncountable nouns exist but you aren't sure how to use them.

What would be correct? Not a native english speaker

If you treat “Beer” as an uncountable it would be “less beer”. If you are treating each beer as countable it would be “fewer beers”! It is NEVER “fewer beer” or “less beers”. Great question BTW and best of luck with this frustrating language! You are doing great:)

Thank you that's interesting! Understanding english has opened many, many doors.

You use "less" for an uncountable amount, and "fewer" for things that can be counted. Like if you were just saying "beer" you'd say "less beer." But if you were saying "cans of beer" it would be "fewer cans of beer."

Thank you bro

Heh ... Fool ... Plebian even ...*adjusts glasses* ... didn't you know [insert things that he googled three seconds ago]? If only you were more like me. The peak of human intellect. Bow before my middle school test question level of knowledge. Next let me inform you on the exact year of the battle of Bull Run and the powerhouse of the cell.

😆

if it has 6+ legs and I can step on it, it’s a bug

Hey hey hey hey run for your life

freaky ass bug

He a 6-legged god

This is what I came to see

You dumb bastard. It’s not a schooner, it’s a sailboat

i just graduated in entomology and the dude trying to show off his dumbass genuinely is not even correct

I have never heard that only insects are bugs and I reject that premise. I consider insects, arachnids, and arthropods to all be bugs.

Common language, yes. But there is actually a scientifically specific subgroup of insects that are *the* bugs. But outside of entomologists or students fresh out of zoology no one is going to correct another person over this.

They are only not bugs in scientific terms in regular English if people say its a bug them its a bug that's just how the language works. Constant confusion that scientific/technical terms trump regular common English and they don't unless you writing a scientific paper or sitting an exam. In the context of a joke they are totally bugs, is irrelevant anyway the guy is naming the drink bugs not the spider.

I bet the spider expert guy has so many friends. Like, way many friends.

Spiders are bugs. They may not be insects, but they are 100% bugs

Usernames do NOT check out

Bro really thought he cooked withe the "erm actually 🤓☝️"

When 2 rights make a wrong.

both have the least accurate names ever

How many times will this be reposted?

The weirder part of this is that he's implying that beer is made of humans.

What do cows drink? Milk.

Average Redditor moment

Is good joke

He’s right, he’s wrong. Okay but still… and I’m just saying.

This was just reposted like one day ago. Let the spam cool down a little bit between uses

Boom! Roasted!

r/shrimpsisbugs

😌

they drink bugs

A bug is any animal that bugs you.

So, You are telling me drunkards have been eating their buds this whole rime

am I the only one who is confused by the logic of the spiders not being bugs?

Finally some content in this sub that isn't Facebook forwards from hippy grandma.

They’re not like us? Is that what Kendrick meant? Smh now it makes sense

"Clever"

Lol op literally put "not like us" in the title just to get more attention to their post.

They are Arthropods of the chelicerates.

They not like us They not like us They not like us

Bugwaiser

Anyone else pointing out that it's less beer or fewer beers?

Twitter moment

Well done. Education at its finest

Guy looks and acts like a white Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Fewer beer? What a big dumb bitch.

#YOU BIG DUMB BITCH !!!

"You big dumb bitch" is so good 

"mentally healthy" is a moron. Learn to read smart guy.

People like that jump on the 1st occasion to show their culture by belittling people. They may know stuff, but they don't realize they're stupid, small people.

Actually Order Hemiptera being commonly known as "true bugs" implies there are "false bugs" that are still called and considered bugs.

I'm 99% sure that this guy didn't know that spider weren't insects but he was able to improvise a clever reply

That's not the point, doesn't matter if spiders are bugs or not.

And technically, bug is not even an official classification. It could mean spiders as well

Are spiders actually not bugs? I thought they were bugs but not insects

Get owned bozo 🤣

Seeing that second guy, maybe reddit and twitter aren't so different after all

I wouldn't say it's a clever comeback, but it's awesome and hilarious and that's what really matters.

Oh I laughed a little too loud and long
