Plenty of such comments can be found on the X (formerly Twitter) page ‘Rare Insults’, some of which we have put on this list for you today. Scroll down to find the applause-worthy responses and see for yourself just how creative and witty some netizens can be. And while these unique insults are not all too hurtful, many comments online are. As a matter of fact, nearly a quarter of netizens have reportedly left a malicious comment on the net, with 18 to 34-year-olds being the most keen on arguing in the comment section. Summarizing the findings of numerous studies on humor, the research publisher Frontiers emphasized that people from different cultural backgrounds may see humor in different ways; despite humor being a universal human activity, important cultural influences can shape the way humor is used and in what situations it is considered appropriate. In China, for instance, the culture disparages humor and focuses more on restriction and seriousness instead. “Chinese are reluctant to admit they are humorous out of fear of jeopardizing their social status,” Frontiers suggested, adding that people in the country typically don’t consider humor a desirable personality trait. The Brits, often considered to have a rather unique sense of humor, were voted “not as funny as they think”. However, a later poll regarding how funny countries in Europe were deemed Britain worthy of being on the very top of the list. Such an expression, named after the French neurologist Guillaume Duchenne, is evoked by the joint action of two facial muscles: the zygomaticus major muscle responsible for lifting the corners of one’s mouth, and the orbicularis oculi, which raises the cheeks, revealing the laugh lines at the outside corners of one’s eyes.
