Funny Sarcasm Novels & Stories

The air was filled with their laughter as they retold splendidly outrageous and laugh inducing anecdotes. Sara launched the story, but with a dash of sweetness in her voice. “Austin presented me with a cup of coffee only for it to trip and spill all over my notes as if I am its clumsy oaf.” Austin interjected, he was doubtlessly sarcastic. “Of course no one could believe that Sara was reliable enough to observe a cup of coffee coming around.” Sara dodged with a smile that would not disappear from her face. “I don’t belittle your lack of intelligence; such is the case with some of the people.”

I watch a few of them laugh hysterically at something they said. "That's all because of you. You brought everyone together with your bonfire idea." He says. "You've got a little Yoghurt on your mouth." "It's ice cream." "Oh, it matters." Sarcasm drips from his tone. I wipe my mouth with the back of my palms. "Sarcasm ruins the image, you know." He whips his head in my direction for an instant. "What image?" "You trying to be less of an asshole." "Is that what you think I'm doing?"

Ordering the servants around. "Of course it's you, who could I be speaking to if not you? The furnitures or the roof? Or is there someone else in this to I haven't noticed?" He giggled at his sarcasm. He seemed comfortable and in a good mood. He looked interested in speaking with me, he uses sarcasm only whenever I had done something wrong and he wants to punish me. His sarcasm this time was filled with positive aura. He was speaking like this had always been the way we interact with each other.

“What does that even mean?” “It means your sarcasm isn’t just a shield. It’s a weapon. A pinprick of chaos. Irritating, unpredictable, alive. We need to weaponize it. All of it. Silas’s broken songs, Maia’s wild pulse, Lyra’s reclaimed pain, your irritating commentary. We turn this cottage into a fortress of glorious, unbearable specificity.” A slow grin spread across my face. It felt like the first real one in days. “So you’re saying… my job is to be as annoyingly, persistently me as possible?”

"I'm not good at understanding sarcasm." Rosie looked up, meeting his gaze once again. She furrowed her eyebrows, confused. Anthony let out a small laugh at the look of confusion on her face. "I have a hard time understanding when someone is being sarcastic. I take things too literal, I suppose." Rosie's lip tugged upwards in a grin. She didn't know if he was joking or not, but she appreciated his attempt at making her feel better about herself. "I don't like sarcasm."

"Okay" Spencer hissed cocking his face to one side. They would fall into predictability, what would be interesting about their conversation if it all became monotonous; so silly and trivial, he didn't get to that table and she was waiting for him for so long just to hear a 'truism', he felt stupid. "You might just be pretending and messing with my head." the young man laughed lightly. "Your sarcasm doesn't sit well with me!" he spat at the possibility of that being his next move.

I looked down. One silent tear slid down my cheek. He was still fuming. Still shaking. But I could feel it—beneath every expletive, every rage-filled line. He was terrified. Because he gave a damn. He gave every f**king damn in the world. Nick wasn’t wrong. He never really was. He was just joking—just being his usual dumbass self, trying to break tension the only way he knew how: with sarcasm and poorly timed humor. And somehow... it landed like a f**king dagger right through the darkest part of me.

“I’m not being weird.” “You shoved Tyler into a locker.” “He deserved it.” Sean laughs. The annoying kind. The kind that means he’s about to say something I don’t want to hear. “You know what’s funny?” “Nothing involving you.” “I’ve known you since third grade.” I immediately don’t like where this is going. “And?” “And I’ve never seen you act like this over a girl.” My stomach drops. “That’s because I’m not acting like anything.” “Right.” The sarcasm is painful.

"You have no idea–I was just joking around, but those disgusting guys went crazy asking me for your contact." The old me would have already been crying, asking her how she could do this to me, voice breaking. Not this me. My teeth clenched so hard they hurt. My whole body trembled with anger. I snatched the flyer out of her hand and slapped her across the face. Tara screamed, clutching her cheek in disbelief. "You hit me? I treat you like my best friend, and you can't even take a joke anymore?" Best friend? I let out a cold laugh.
