“I also choose that guy's dead wife”

Oh dear. You got here, then. I suppose this day had to come. This is a fine (?) example of the rare occasions when a sharp wit is the ability to say the entirely wrong thing in precisely the right way at exactly the right moment.

Originating here[1], the comment was a sad, wistful and serious one with this phrase given as an almost immediate but completely inappropriate response. The original Redditor was so sincere but the reply was just so perfectly worded yet messed up that the hilarity comes primarily from the shock value.

Thankfully, the user who posted the story was fine with how it all went down[2]. Reddit, as you would expect, embraced this thoroughly and variants of this phrase pop up regularly in the strangest places.

r/FunnyandSad features images that are funny and sad; r/sadcringe is a place for awkward or embarrassing situations that also make you feel sad, and r/awfuleverything features all things that are just genuinely awful.
