Alright, I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with the Sarcasm Society, but I think they come out with some real awesome quotes. They recently published their Top 10 Sarcastic Quotes of All Time

10. “Sometimes I need what only you can provide: your absence.” –Ashleigh Brilliant

9. “I feel so miserable without you, it’s almost like having you here.” –Stephen Bishop

8. “I don’t know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn’t.” –Jules Renard

7. “I find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me.” –John Cleese

6. “Personal experience makes a believer out of anyone; that explains the hordes of evolution deniers.” –Sarcasm Society

5. “Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.” –Mark Twain

4. “Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.” –Oscar Wilde

3. “Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.” –Mark Twain

2. “A child of five could understand this. Fetch me a child of five.” –Groucho Marx

1. “If you ever become a mother, can I have one of the puppies?” –Charles Pierce

While I find quite a few funny, I'm not sure I would consider them to be the top 10. A few that I adore that are missing

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.” ~Albert Einstein

"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that." -George Carlin

"I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability." -Oscar Wilde


And my favourite...

"Your opinions mean as much to me as my facts mean to you." - Unknown

What are some of your favourite sarcastic quotes?

One of my favorites...

Oscar Wilde again:  “He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.”

Gotta love Wilde! I wonder if he did a Diva snap when he delivered these ;-)

Probably something like that.  He used to design his quips well in advance and practice them in front of a mirror.  Far and away my favorite dandy.




OrpheusAgonistes -> RE: Sarcasm (3/30/2010 8:53:25 PM)

I like the line from Mencken (often mistakenly attributed to Voltaire):  "God is a comedian playing to an audience too terrified to laugh."

Someone once quoted that line to me in (not quite correct) French and attributed it to Voltaire.  I told her that Voltaire would be flattered--not only had she stolen a brilliancy for him but she'd taken the time to translate it into bad French.

One more (can't resist) by Will Rogers:

Democrats never agree on anything, that's why they're Democrats.
If they agreed with each other, they would be Republicans.

If there is one thing I can't tolerate, it's bad French!

Me neither.

"I can only please one person a day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either."

Only 483,385 more days until I give a damn




LanceHughes -> RE: Sarcasm (3/30/2010 9:37:23 PM)

Saw a t-shirt the other day:  "Sarcasm.  Just one of my many talents."

I write to strangers now and then. I'll tell them, "You're almost as pretty as I am." BossyShoeBitch was a hoot, although it has been so long I don't recall her words. But trust me, she was fun.




lally2 -> RE: Sarcasm (3/31/2010 1:41:19 AM)

just wanted to say thanks for the laugh

I always liked one of Conan O'Brien's very old bits, from when he was doing standup.  "My family and I like to use sarcasm to communicate.  For example, the other day I told my sister 'Hey, I hope you have a really happy birthday.  I really love you.' "

i think it was Missturbation who had something like this as her sig line: "Sarcasm.  Just another service i provide." [:)]




VaguelyCurious -> RE: Sarcasm (3/31/2010 2:49:49 AM)

Person A: Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
Person B: That's why I use it when I'm talking to you.

That's an automatic response in my parents' house. I once accidentally said it to my biology teacher, when I was about fifteen.
