40 Times People Actually Insulted Themselves In Order To Insult Another Person
Meet the daily, humble heroes of the online world who keep us laughing, even when the skies are dark and there is no moon in sight.
Some people will happily roast themselves just to land a better insult on someone else, and that is exactly why the internet keeps finding new ways to be entertaining. The subreddit Kamikaze By Words has built a huge following around those self-owning zingers, where the joke only works because the speaker is willing to take a hit too.
The posts below come from that very specific brand of chaos, where the target gets dragged, but the person doing the dragging is not exactly spared either. The rules are simple enough, the insult has to land on more than one person, and the result is usually a lot funnier than it has any right to be.
Here are 40 examples that show just how far people will go for the perfect burn.

One method for detecting a self-aware leader with a high capacity to understand individuals at their core is to check whether they make self-deprecating jokes. This kind of humor demonstrates that they're mindful of their flaws and can discuss them with smiles and laughter.
In any case, self-deprecation can be taken too far.
