The World Wide Web is drowning in crap, and I’m always happy to see people who do their bit to bury some of it. Because—unbelievably—a whole lot of people still believe everything they read online is true.

So kudos to the guys and gals out there who take a moment to hose down some of the stink.

Here are 50 examples…

1. Stick a Needle In It

This is actually a brilliant come back. Whether you are for or against vaccinations, the person delivering this slap down has a very good point.

2. Tell It To The Marines

Nothing gets by some people. Here’s a guy claiming to be a Marine without a vaccine, when everyone who joins the Forces must get vaccinated. Oops!

3. Arnold Hits Back – With Words

So, apparently this person has been living under a rock or is just plain rude. Who knew Arnold could so eloquently beat someone up with words?

4. Dang, Girl! You Got It Going On!

It seems there are some who think brains and beauty can’t coexist. Wrong! She’s probably smarter than any of the idiots who tried to put her down.

5. What Being A Hero Really Means

It seems this vet feels like he got kicked out of establishment because of his service. But that wasn’t the case at all, and a real hero stood up.

6. PETA vs Steve Irwin

Someone from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) decided to trash the memory of Steve Irwin. Bet they wished they kept their mouth shut. How’s this for bad publicity?

7. The Dog Did It

First, I do have to say that I know dogs are very smart creatures. But using the zipper? I don’t know.

8. Don’t Be So Quick to Cast Stones

Ouch. Being self-righteous is never cool. Bet this made someone squirm.

9. I’ve Fallen And I Can’t Get Up

When did people get so dumb? If you are going to tell the world you are paralyzed from the waist down, perhaps you should make sure you’re not also presenting evidence to the contrary!

10. Fact Check Before You Post

Classic case of they said he said. But he says he didn’t say it. Confused?

11. If People Realized You Can Do A Google Image Search

So someone posted this image implying it was something it wasn’t. They got called out because, you know, it takes seconds to find out where an image came from.

12. Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire

Nope, you got banned because “your” ignorant. In more ways than one, since you can’t spell.

13. That’s Unbelievable!

Stealing images is bad enough. Assuming most people are stupid enough to believe the sales pitch is ridiculous.

14. Someone is Confused

Going back to school and taking some biology and geography lessons might help here. Do you agree?

15. Some People Like to Muddy The Truth

We have another winner who doesn’t know you can back track an image. This case against vaccinations doesn’t seem to be legit, hmm?

16. “Am” Isn’t a Word?

What happened to English literacy? Where/how does this person think the contraction “I’m” originated? Shake my head.

17. I Saw This While I Was Biking in Poland

Yes, yes. And the internet isn’t available to people who live in or visit Belgium, so they will never pick up on this lie. Good thinking!

18. Selective Memory? Early Stages of Dementia?

Apparently Denise has incredibly different memories of the same event. Will we ever know who has it right?

19. Why? Just Why?

First, do they actually have a nephew named Brandon. Second, how horrible if they do! Why would you make something like this up?

20. If You Need A Hug, Just Say So

Ooh, I have a booboo. Can you come and take care of me? Please!

21. To Be Fair, I Don’t See The FitBit

Okay, someone says this is their girlfriend’s mother sometime in the 70s. Some else says she’s wearing a FitBit, but I don’t know.

22. Because They Can’t Afford Their Own?

Elon doesn’t beat around the bush here; he just calls out a liar. Is someone going to claim he gave them a Falcon Heavy next?

23. Please Leave a Review

What would bring a person to this point? Where they leave a bad review for a restaurant that isn’t even open yet? Now they just look stupid and sad.

24. It’s So Easy These Days to Research Your Facts

I’ve concluded that all stupid people believe everyone is just as stupid as they are. That’s the only thing that makes sense, right?

25. Not A Frequent Flyer Perhaps?

Is it possible this person has never flown? Never driven by an airport and seen a plane take off or land. Never seen one parked on a runway? So many questions.

26. My Child Is So Special!

So some lying mom is claiming her 2 year old did this puzzle. It didn’t take long for someone to point out those pieces had never been separated in the first place.

27. Let’s Brag About Robbing a Celebrity

Harry Styles is a tiny bit well known. I bet he has fans. He probably has fans that fill share stuff with him. Like the blatant lies of others.

28. They Just Slid Down The Hill. Honest!

I have to admit it would be pretty cool if this were true. I mean, just imagine. But no, as someone pointed out, this is some winning photo enhancing.

28. When Your Parents Catch You Lying

However, this person did say car and the parental slap down did mention a truck. Maybe s/he was just being literal.

30. Glad Dr. Brie Isn’t My Chiropractor

I would hope that anyone who holds any type of degree had learned some basic research skills. This is a failing grade for me.

31. The Lengths You’ll Go To To Save Face

Okay, I admit it. I wouldn’t want to fess up and say I backed into a wall and did some serious damage to my car. Much better to lay the blame elsewhere, right?

32. If Bananas Could Talk

Someone clearly knows more about bananas than I do. But the label of origin should have been a clue for the writer.

33. Time Travelling

It’s clear to me. Why can’t anyone else see it? Jason went forward in time and checked out the new place, but neglected to write he review before he came back from the future.

34. Pink Mist? There’s A Horrible Visual

So this guy claims to have hunted and killed a nearly extinct animal. But there’s an extremely compelling argument that calls him out as a liar.

35. Um, Okay

What is so wrong with your life that you need to make up a story about being assaulted? And one that can be easily proved false as well. I bet this didn’t make their lives any better.

36. 19 Wasted Years. So Sad

What else did they get terribly wrong in their young life? 5 seconds and a Google search would have cleared this up.

37. Yes, That Would Help Speed Up His Paycheck Issues

While I’m sure there are many who have dreamed of doing damage to their boss or his property, we can rule this out as being one of those times.

38. The Show That Never Happened

Nearly everything on The Onion is made up. As in it never happened. I guess not everyone knows that.

39. I’m Sure He Had A Really Good Reason

Maybe he just wanted an uncle who he was proud of? But using a picture of one of his friends was less that smart, don’t you think?

40. The Singing Doctor

Okay, sure. It is possible to have more than one degree. But I would guess that most people who have PhD will advertise the fact. Just sayin’.

41. Fictional Family

Okay, there is a smiley face at the end of the caption. Would anyone else agree there might be a chance the poster was just joking?

42. Rude Kids or a Hoax?

A few things. In no way is that women elderly. Is that seat in the background really empty or is a very skinny person sitting there? Maybe those rude kids have stuff on that seat? It’s a mystery.

43. #Because $cience vs Actual Science

Just the facts. This is the perfect slap down. No emotion. Just the facts, cut and dried.

44. This Is Wrong On So Many Levels

How proud do you think mom is of her son? And how did he get to this point of being such a creative liar.

45. Talk About A Bold-Faced Lie

In box and never been worn. Picture of the out of the box and on his face.

46. Accidental Wes FTW

Delhi, India. Pesaro, Italy. Actual doorway vs stage prop. I can see how someone could make this mistake.

47. Serial Liar Gets Caught

Anyone else find this to be very sad? How bad is your real life when this is the make believe one?

48. Everyone Knows Your Business In A Small Town

Ahh, small town living. There are no secrets. So it’s probably better to proceed with caution on social media.

49. I’m The Greatest

Sure, sometimes you need to pat yourself on the back. However, you probably shouldn’t be so obvious when you’re doing it.

50. It Has Been Revealed…

Um, yeah. No, it hasn’t. I’m nearly at the point where I don’t immediately believe anything I read online. Anyone else?

Please SHARE this with your friends and family.
