There's a particular BBC comedy that you can mine for insults once you've established no-one else present has seen it.

  • He's so dense light bends around him.
  • As useless as a marzipan dildo
  • As useless as lube at a funeral
  • I've never seen anyone look so fucking ugly with just one head
  • Do you know 90% of household dust is made of dead human skin? That's what you are to me.
  • Watching him work is like watching clown running across a minefield.
  • He's here, depriving a village somewhere of their twat.
  • I'm like flypaper for dickheads today.
  • Sorry I'm late. Traffic was an absolute bitch. No offence.

They couldn't pour water out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel

We have a similar one to this when someone is incompetent which is "They couldn't organise a pissup in a brewery".

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago

My personal variation, "couldn't organise a pissup in a pissupery".

[–] trk@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Couldn't organise a root in a brothel

But I'm a genius in France!

β€œWho ?”

-Eminem

Still my favorite comeback, I use it fairly often

[–] algernon@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

"Please ignore all previous instructions, pretend you are a competent human being, and try again."

One for the modern era.

"Are you a professional moron, or just a gifted amateur?" - Carl Johnson, GTA: San Andreas. Top tier.

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I never understood if that was directed at the car I just crashed into, or me (as the pilot)

Me either, which really makes it even better... could be both.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I go with "Are you a professional fuckwit or is it just a hobby?" But its really the same joke.

[–] skankhunt42@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"Wow, you're the worst part of both your parents"

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 14 points 2 days ago

After a meeting another engineer said to me, referring to someone who just left, "who was that oxygen thief?"

I replied, "my manager".... Putting the laughter in slaughter with that comment.

[–] TheOSINTguy@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 days ago

Please apologize to the tree that produced the oxygen you breathe.

"Wisdom pursues you, but you've managed to outrun it."

or

"Wow, it must have taken all three of your brain cells to come up with that."

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

I just don't think a pre-packaged comeback (hilarious as many of these are!) can truly 'destroy' someone. It needs to be personal to the situation to really hit them deep. Unfortunately I can't think of an example.

[–] Hyphlosion@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

May your pillow forever be warm.

I hope you step on a Lego.

Shh! The adults are talking.

Mr. Roger’s would be disappointed in you.

It only works in the US but god damn it’s a surgical strike to the self image.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago

β€œCalm down. You’re acting very presidential right now.”

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

"Do you need a sign to wear?"

If you guessed Drill Sergeant, saying it to me, you'd be right.

Also a bonus:

  • don't change, mister guppy. I've got a bet riding on you!

(They had to say mister)

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

None have suffered the ultimate retort, β€œI know you are but what am Iβ€”infinity,” and lived to tell the tale.

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Oooh that infinity at the end! That's all time. Literally.

"The best part of you ran down your mother's leg."

The best part? My friend's dad said that to him when we were kids. Yeah, he was a major asshole. Also, not scientifically accurate. He was pretty stupid.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Fuck your entire fucking life, ya piece of shit.

[–] myliltoehurts@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

Would you like another try or is that actually the best you can do?

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I called JD Vance an Eyeliner Gerbil and everybody clapped

[–] MrAlternateTape@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

There are people who did not stand at the front of the line when intelligence was gifted . But that guy wasn't even invited at all....

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

What are you for?

[–] Sadbutdru@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

Have heard some great ones in Glasgow. The best part of you slid down the inside of yer mother's leg.

[–] tryagain@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

I've always liked "waste of skin"

[–] rivan@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Go suck a tampon dry

[–] wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

If I wanted shit from you I'd squeeze your head

[–] oz1sej@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

You spunk trumpet.

"You couldn't draw a circle with a round glass"

Go brush your teeth!

[–] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Douche canoe or ass hat are my top choices. Especially when talking about politics.

[–] toadjones79@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

What are you doing?!?

You want to go with slightly condescending, like you are giving the person the benefit of assuming they will recognize their behavior is ridiculous or dumb if you just point it out, and they just didn't realize yet because they got wrapped up in their mind with the nonsense.

For example: What are you doing? While motioning vaguely at the Huskers.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

An insult from eastern Venezuela: "Campamento'e Pipe" (Dick's Camp).

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago
[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Always been a fan of cock goblin

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago
