27 Hilarious Self-Owns That’ll Make You Say “Well, That’s Embarrassing”

People embarrass themselves on the internet every day. Luckily, bored people lurk on every website attempting to compile the funniest and saddest self-owns. Often, they voluntarily make fun of themselves for our enjoyment. The question is: is it really a self-deprecating “joke” if it’s entirely true?

Unfortunately, I can’t stop you from putting your foot in your mouth out there, but I can show you how others failed in the past. I can also show you those people owning their flaws in clever and funny ways.

Frankly, more self-owns and dumb comments can be found the second you turn on an opinion-focused TV news show. The View is on every day and it’s straight-up not good for anyone, viewers and hosts alike. Sadly, that show is not the bottom of the barrel. The good news is, however, there are funnier comments out there by more self-aware people.

Here are the funniest and most embarrassing moments when people roasted themselves on the internet:

1. Let me tell you about your first mistake.

2. Giving a certain signal.

3. Know thyself.

4. Crying for many reasons right now.

5. Bro, you nailed it (yourself).

6. I don’t think this is true.

7. Taking yo mama jokes to the next level.

8. Oscar-worthy.

9. So true.

10. Very recognizable.

11. Not me but someone I know.

12. Frightening stuff here.

13. Dang, that’s accurate.

14. The authority on the subject.

15. The upside of COVID.

16. Mike knows who he is.

17. Wow.

18. This was going so well…

19. Are you patronizing me, Sir?

20. I too am that.

21. This is a solid one.

22. New year, new you.

23. Why bother?

24. The only time you see it.

25. A short story.

26. Nothing ever changes.

27. Either way…
