Cruz Beckham has cemented his status as the funniest guy on the internet after leaving fans in hysterics with another sassy clapback.
Last week, a post showing a throwback of his parents David and Victoria went viral because it was accompanied by the caption: 'It’s bizarre that a couple with such an insanely stunning face card only ended up with ugly kids.'
Fans were quick to hit back at the troll, noting the entire family is 'gorgeous' and that all the children resemble their parents.
Yet they needn't have worried about defending the Beckhams because Cruz, 21, was quick to see the post and respond himself.
Revealing he took it all in good humour, Cruz went to the comments section to post a meme of comedian Druski looking confused while pointing to himself.
His comment racked up nearly 70,000 likes, almost double that of the post itself, yet it's just the latest in a string of funny posts that have made Cruz king of the internet.

Cruz poked fun at himself after a post claiming the Beckham children were 'ugly' went viral - with his response garnering more likes than the post itself
In recent months, the Beckhams are said to have been in turmoil after Brooklyn distanced himself from the family.
The eldest child of the Beckham brood released a scathing six-page statement in January announcing he had cut ties, declaring he was no longer part of 'Brand Beckham' and insisting his parents and siblings are 'performative'.
While David and Victoria are said to be devastated by the fallout, Cruz has seemingly seen the funny side, appearing to poke fun at Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz in a series of posts.
Following Brooklyn's claims that Victoria had danced 'very inappropriately on' him at his 2022 wedding to Nicola, the internet exploded with memes – with Cruz spotted liking several of them.
Cruz also shared a TikTok video of himself and Romeo riding in the back of a car with their girlfriends, captioned: 'Imagine hating and we’re just here like.'
Brooklyn claimed in his lengthy statement that Romeo and Cruz had been 'sent' to attack him, resulting in his decision to 'block' his brothers over the summer.
Fans then looked back and saw a series of pointed and humorous posts by the brothers amid the ugly fallout.
Cruz first appeared to 'mock' Nicola after she shared a gushing comment under a post by Romeo's ex Mia Regan featuring her cover shoot for Pop magazine in April.
Nicola wrote: 'so beautiful mia.'
Two days later, Cruz poked fun at the remark after Romeo shared a gallery of snaps on Instagram.
Underneath he wrote: 'So beautiful Romeo,' while his brother responded with a string of crying laughing emojis. His reply has since been deleted.

In May, Cruz then appeared to mimic yet another remark from Brooklyn, after he posted a gushing caption saying he would 'always choose' Nicola
Afyer posting a video of himself singing, Cruz was asked: 'Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?' To which Cruz - seemingly throwing shade at his brother Brooklyn's many career paths - responded: 'Wrong brother mate'
In May, Cruz appeared to mimic yet another remark from Brooklyn, after he posted a gushing caption saying he would 'always choose' Nicola alongside a video of them riding a motorbike together.
He wrote: 'My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby.'
It seemed that Cruz didn't take kindly to the post, as just hours later he reposted a family snap from his mum Victoria's show at Paris Fashion Week.
He wrote: 'I love my family, I love you guys more than anything, mum & dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we all are to have you in our lives.'
After Nicola and Brooklyn failed to attend his father David's 50th birthday celebrations, Cruz shared a cryptic post on Instagram Stories.
He wrote: 'It takes 43 muscles in your face to frown, and 17 to smile. Be kind and tell the truth.'
Cruz also took a very public swipe at his brother's various career ventures.
While Brooklyn has shared videos of his cooking skills on social media, he has also pursued interests in sport, photography and styling.
Cruz – who has also shared a few cooking videos of late – went online to share a video of himself playing guitar and singing.
The clip prompted one follower to comment: 'Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?'
To which Cruz – seemingly throwing shade at his brother Brooklyn's many career paths – responded: 'Wrong brother mate.'
Cruz was also the first family member to publicly speak out on the rumours about the fallout.
When it was reported that Brooklyn was upset about Romeo’s relationship with Kim Turnbull because he had once dated her, Cruz explicitly stated: 'Brooklyn and Kim never dated.'
Kim later confirmed she had never dated Brooklyn.
Cruz was also quick to clear up claims that David and Victoria had unfollowed Brooklyn on Instagram last year, penning: 'NOT TRUE My mum and dad would never unfollow their son..
'Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I.'
Brooklyn Beckham's statement in full
I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.
I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.
Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they'll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.
My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped. My mum cancelled making Nicola's dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.
Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children.
They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.
During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me "evil" because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra, and Nicola's Naunni at our table, because they both didn't have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.
The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was "not blood" and "not family." Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders.
Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer.
My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where in the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife but instead my mum was waiting to dance with me instead.
She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.
My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family, no matter how hard we've tried to come together as one. My mum has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable.
Despite this, we still travelled to London for my dad's birthday and were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts, unless it was at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner.
When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn't invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family travelled to LA, they refused to see me at all.
My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first. Family "love" is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it's at the expense of our professional obligations.
We've gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, and every press activity to show 'our perfect family.' But the one time my wife asked for my mum's support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.
The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared.
I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.
