Content: You can also shoot down sarcastic comments by scolding the person using them and if you do this correctly then you can make them feel small as a result while at the same time pointing out how childish they are. The previous examples are perfect for if you if you are happy to stoop to their level, but if you’d rather keep some decorum and integrity then this is the better strategy. For instance then: ‘How did you get here?’ ‘I flew’
‘Don’t be stupid Joe’
Or alternatively: ‘If you’re going to be stupid/sarcastic then I shall not talk to you in future’
Point Out Their Motives: If someone has used sarcasm in order to make you look bad and themselves look better by extension then this is an unattractive quality and you can turn it around by pointing out their motives. So for instance just say ‘stop trying to show off in front of your friends’ or ‘sarcasm doesn’t make you sound clever Joe’. Correct: Similarly you can put down sarcasm by correcting their comment and pointing out how stupid it was and by explaining your original point.
