30 Things to Say When Someone Calls You Laughable
Whether it is in the context of being ridiculous or being funny, anyone who calls you laughable is trying to get at you. The next step remains to fashion your response in a way that addresses the issue at hand.
Hence, when someone calls you laughable for having what seems to be the wrong idea; you can say something like “do you have a better idea? Is that what you think this is”?
“I knew you would say that, it’s clear you’ve never liked my idea”, or you can say something like “I thought as much”.
If you are up for some piece of savagery, you can throw in some replies like “Laughable like your whole family tree”, “I guess it takes one to know the other”, “You don’t look so serious either” or other replies such as “Just do me a favor and STFU.
Let’s end it with the snippets here and get right into the details of this post.
That Was Really Rude, You Need To Apologize
I don’t know if you don’t get pissed off by being called laughable, but I do. Especially when your stance on the issue that brought about the name-calling doesn’t worth it. While others will flare up and act shady, you’ll have to stand tall.
And you’ll need this response to make it clear that you deserve nothing better than an apology. With this reply, you’re telling the person that calling you laughable is rude.
I Knew You Would Say That
If the situation for which you were called laughable is something you expected, you can use this response to reply to the person that called you that. This response shows that you are not in for any surprises and you’re not surprised one bit by the person’s remark about you.
Don’t Discredit Me So Fast
Let’s say you had a promising business proposal and you eventually mentioned it to someone. If the person calls you laughable for having such an idea, it implies your idea is not sensible and also lacks accolade from them.
But you can fairly sulk it up and use this line of response.
You Never Take Me Serious, Do You?
There have been cases where someone calls you laughable because they don’t see any form of seriousness in you. This may not be how others perceive you, but it is sort of their prejudice against you.
This set of people will never find you interesting no matter what you say or do, and if you notice this you can make for this type of response. This response will sort of put the person in an awkward position, as the response accommodates room for a query.
Yes, that’s Because I Never Intend to Please You
Even if you intend to please whomever it is that called you laughable, you should show a little bit of disinterest. This way, the person will be startled at your sudden turnaround.
Although they may assume that you did that because they called you laughable, their thought holds no water as you’ve already come up with a response.
Is That What You Think This Is?
You can use questions as your replies in this type of situation. Your aim of asking the person this type of question is to know exactly what he or she thinks about your idea which they labeled laughable.
I have this conviction that some people say things out of little or no reasoning, but they can explain what they mean if you ask the person questions. In a bid to serve the speaker’s response, you can adopt this question.
Do You Have a Better Idea?
I pictured a scenario in a previous response, where someone called you laughable because of your business proposal. The previous response suggests that you ask the person not to discredit you quickly; well this one can second that response.
Asking if he or she has a better plan or idea is a way of fitting into the scenario. There is a chance that the person doesn’t have a knock-off idea, and if this happens…they become the ridiculous one.
It’s Clear You’ve Never Liked My Idea
In my experience as a behind-the-desk attendant in a reputable firm, I’ve had cases where a co-worker tries to outshine you by all means. Some did that even if it meant discrediting all your ideas whether good or bad.
I’ve also been in some situations where I was ridiculed by them in front of the supervisor and the response above has always been my go-to reply. So if you encounter a similar circumstance, don’t hesitate to make it known that they’ve never liked you.
Laughable Like Your Whole Family Tree
If you haven’t heard of my record with comebacks, I can boldly say you’re missing out on a lot of fun. I didn’t intend for you to go savagery on this post, but a trial won’t kill.
So this is one of those replies which will leave anyone who called you laughable, to think they made a grave mistake. This is because you not only agree to be laughable, but you also dragged their family into it. I’ll personally cringe if I had the opportunity to listen to this piece of savagery.
I’m Not up for Trading Words Right Now
You’re probably tired from the day’s work, or exhausted after a strenuous time at the gym and now having a conversation over a cup of juice with a friend when he or she calls you laughable. I seriously don’t think picking a fight will solve either your tiredness or make the issue any good.
Hence, you can simply tell this line of response to the person and continue with your drinking.
Nothing Makes Sense to You, Are You Even Okay?
I don’t have the perfect figures to back up my assertions but some people seldom see the good in anything. They’re probably cynical, which makes them see nothing but negativity in what you do.

I Guess I’m Getting Better with the Jokes
The word “laughable” applies in two contexts… first concerning ridiculous and second with being funny. This response supports the latter contextual meaning. So you can say this to anyone who calls you laughable.
You Don’t Look So Serious Either
There’s this thing with seemingly serious-minded people, who believe and think every other person is not up to the task. You could fall victim to this vain chase, but you can still carpet whoever it is by saying this line as a response.
You Really Need To Keep the Name-calling Thing Aside
I’ve made mention of other replies which you can put up if you’re not enjoying the name-calling “thingy”. Well, you can add this right here to your already long list.
Your Remarks Don’t Count
