If you must engage a troll (and I usually advise against it), the best thing you can do is completely ignore whatever it is the troll rambling about, hijack the thread, and turn it into a conversation about the hit '70s television show Three's Company.

Troll: "STFU loser, ur teh dumb! [Insert troll's unsolicited extreme view on abortion/gay marriage/gun control/the president that has nothing to do with the initial post]."

Response: "Even with the addition of veteran actor Don Knotts to the cast, I feel like Three's Company really jumped the shark after the Ropers were spun-off into their own sitcom. The show really peaked during the Suzanne Somers years!"

Troll: ...

Nine times out of ten, the results are highly amusing.

In case it helps anyone. Great song.

Come and knock on our door.....
We've been waiting for you......
Where the kisses are hers and hers and his,
Three's company too.

Come and dance on on our floor......
Take a step that is new.....
We've a loveable space that needs your face,
Three's company too.

You'll see that life is a frolic and laughter is calling for you......
Down at our rendez-vous,
Three's company, too!!!!!!

In real-life conversations I prefer brain-melting questions-

Troll: Blah, blah, politics...ignorance...blah

Me: Yeah well...how am I going to eat soup without an envelope?

Troll: ????

Me: I gotta go

Fat Albert references would also work, as would subtly composing all your response posts from the perspective of Mork or Alf.
