jamboree said...: So far Buzz Lightyear has my vote.

A lot of them are pedestrian and uncreative compared to what I read regularly on the internets.; 6/30/10, 9:52 PM
lucid said...: Wow!! Was watching that a trip!; 6/30/10, 9:56 PM
Justin said...: The Billy Madison insult was used in a footnote denying a motion. One of my favorite all time Orders.

KCFleming said...: "You’re a rotter, Mr. Grinch. You’re the king of sinful sots.
Your heart’s a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots.
Mr. Grinch!
Your soul is an appalling dump-heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable, mangled up in tangled up knots!

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch, with a nauseous super “naus!“
You’re a crooked jerky jockey and you drive a crooked hoss.
Mr. Grinch!
You’re a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!; 6/30/10, 10:06 PM
KCFleming said...: Try this helpful Arabic insult:
Eyreh be afass seder emmak.

"My dick in your mother's rib cage"; 6/30/10, 10:10 PM
The Drill SGT said...: The better ones don't rely on profanity. Which is why Arab's curse so well.

MY 3 favorites are:

1. Casablanca

Ugarte: You despise me, don't you?
Rick: If I gave you any thought I probably would.

2. GWTW:
Rhett: Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn

2. Full Metal Jacket

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Bullshit. It looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama's ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress.; 6/30/10, 10:14 PM
KCFleming said...: The Serbians are more inventive:
"Da bi te majka prepoznala u bureku"

(Let your mother recognize you in a meat pie); 6/30/10, 10:14 PM
The Drill SGT said...: I made my arab comment before reading pogo, but he provided the proof :); 6/30/10, 10:15 PM
I'm Full of Soup said...: I did not watch the whole tape but was Mpnty Pythons' Holy Grail's "I fart in your general direction" included?

That is my favorite.; 6/30/10, 10:18 PM
The Drill SGT said...: yes

Monty was fourth from the end.

Betty white was 3rd with

This is where, If I had a dick, I'd tell you to suck it.

2md was unmemorable woody allen as I recall.

last was Rhett not giving a damn; 6/30/10, 10:21 PM
Michael said...: Am I the only one who felt like this compilation suddenly gained 50 IQ points when Casablanca came on? I couldn't watch it after that, too dispiriting.; 6/30/10, 10:46 PM
Michael said...: Here's one that should be in there, and I'm sure isn't:

Ralph Bellamy: You bastard!

Lee Marvin: In my case, an accident of birth. But you, sir? You're a self-made man.

--The Professionals; 6/30/10, 10:47 PM
I'm Full of Soup said...: Thanks Sgt.

I had never heard the Betty White joke before! That was a good one.; 6/30/10, 10:49 PM
Wince said...: Sounds eerily similar to the comment thread following Althouse's post Wisconsin Supreme Court upholds gay marriage ban.; 6/30/10, 10:57 PM
Fred4Pres said...: That is just made of awesome! I know a few people who deserve it too.; 6/30/10, 11:25 PM
Paul Kirchner said...: There were some good ones in "Waiting for Guffman:

Corky St. Clair: Well, then, I just HATE you... and I hate your... ass... FACE!

Corky St. Clair: And I'll tell you why I can't put up with you people: because you're BASTARD people! That's what you are! You're just bastard people! And I'm goin' home and I'm gonna... I'm gonna BITE MY PILLOW, is what I'm gonna do!; 6/30/10, 11:41 PM
William said...: This exchange was actually delivered in Parliament: "You, sir, will die either of a vile disase or on the scaffold." The rejoinder: "That depends upon whether I embrace your mistress or your principles.".....I can't recall who said it, but it must surely rank as the greatest extemporaneous insult of all time.; 7/1/10, 12:19 AM
vza said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 7/1/10, 12:36 AM
vza said...: John Wilkes said it or...?

"The exchange between John Wilkes and John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich ("Sir, I do not know whether you will die on the gallows or of the pox." "That depends, my lord, on whether I embrace your lordship's principles or your mistress.") is also attributed to Samuel Foote; the same story was told of Mirabeau, answering Cardinal Maury, during the French Revolution."

Revenant said...: You could do 100 great insults in ten minutes with R. Lee Ermey's Full Metal Jacket scenes alone.; 7/1/10, 12:52 AM
Bender said...: Cora Munro: Duncan, you are a man with a few admirable qualities, but taken as a whole, I was wrong to have thought so highly of you.

--Last of the Mohicans
Madeleine Stowe to her now-ex-fiancé.

Classy and devastating at the same time.; 7/1/10, 1:34 AM
Bender said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 7/1/10, 1:56 AM
Bender said...: OK, so I just watched it. What a sad, pathetic, piss-poor compilation it is. A string of profanities does not a "great insult" make. These clips merely prove that there is a overwhelming deficit of imagination, style, and talent, together with an excess of tedium, banality, and dull-witted writers, in Hollywood.

I know such things appeal to the leftist sites like DailyKos and too many of the lefty commenters here, but these "movie insults" are as colossally boring as they are.; 7/1/10, 1:57 AM
d-day said...: "How would you like to suck my balls"

Awesome.; 7/1/10, 2:06 AM
vza said...: Michael said...

Hear! Hear!; 7/1/10, 3:30 AM
Anonymous said...: Laughed my ass off.

Couldn't help thinking about those drama queen bastards, Palladian and Jeremy, when the Gunny Sarge said:

I bet you're the kinda guy who would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the god damn common courtesy to give him a reach around.

Boys, you've got to go into the theater.

You're wasting your talents playing out your martyrdom, "I'm just like a nigger" fantasies on this website.; 7/1/10, 6:41 AM
Lynne said...: How about some Shakespeare?
From Henry V:

Do thou amend thy face, and I'll amend my life!; 7/1/10, 7:07 AM
Lynne said...: Actually, for my money the best cinematic source of witty insults is still The Lion in Winter:

John: My God, if I was on fire there's not a living soul who'd pee on me to put it out!

Geoffrey: Let's strike a flint and see.

or

Eleanor: Her eyes in certain lights were violet and all her teeth were even. That's a rare fair feature, even teeth. She smiled to excess, but she chewed with real distinction.; 7/1/10, 7:39 AM
Anonymous said...: @Lynne:
You've reminded me why I need to add
"Lion.." to my DVD collection.

A classic.; 7/1/10, 7:57 AM
Lynne said...: @LarsPorsena:

Here's a little scene to whet your appetite.

Great stuff!; 7/1/10, 8:19 AM

Very true. When one f*ck-riddled insult sounds like another, why is it making a top 100 list?

Can I get my 10 minutes back?; 7/1/10, 8:48 AM
Simon Kenton said...: Mostly junior-high rant, but this

"How do you write women so well?"

"I imagine a man. And take away reason and accountability."

was worth the price of admission.; 7/1/10, 8:53 AM
Beta Rube said...: Telling the ump he looked "like a penis with a little hat on" (Jimmy Dugan, League of Their Own) is probably my favorite. It was my kids intrduction to mildly off color humor nad we still relish the moment.; 7/1/10, 9:00 AM
bagoh20 said...: Truly invigorating first thing in the morning. Thanks.

Now I can go out and F*ck the c*cks*cking sh*t out of every m@therF$cker I see today.

Sergeant Hartman is truly the best at this.

WV: ranter; 7/1/10, 9:04 AM
David said...: "It's true. He has no dick." First prize!; 7/1/10, 9:46 AM
ken in tx said...: How about, "He has all the qualities of a good dog, except loyalty and bravery."; 7/1/10, 10:03 AM
Megaera said...: I missed (purely because it had the element of civilized malice) the Devil's remonstration from "Time Bandits": "Benson, Benson, you are so mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence!"; 7/1/10, 11:08 AM
virgil xenophon said...: There is always the old tried-and-true Churchill quip: "He is a very modest man--and he has much to be modest about!"; 7/1/10, 12:28 PM
Megaera said...: Poor Clement Atlee -- also memorably described as a sheep in sheep's clothing.; 7/1/10, 12:37 PM
LL said...: Good to hear several R. Lee Emery insults from Full Metal Jacket.; 7/1/10, 12:58 PM
LL said...: Paul: I agree about the lack of Waiting for Guffman quotes.

Corky St. Clare is one of the best characters of all time.; 7/1/10, 1:02 PM
Phil 314 said...: Glengarry Glen Ross and A Fish Called Wanda seem well represented.

I'm glad the M. Python insult from the Holy Grail was included. They did miss a key one from the show though:

of course, that’s just the sort of blinkard, Philistine pig-ignorance I’ve come to expect from you non-creative garbage. You sit there on your loathsome spotty behinds squeezing blackheads, not caring a tinker’s cuss about the struggling artist. You excrement! You lousy hypocritical whining toadies!; 7/1/10, 2:24 PM
knox said...: Paul, yes! "I hate you and I hate your ass face!" is one of my all time favorite movie quotes.; 7/1/10, 10:15 PM
