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

But I'm a genius in France!

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Couldn't organise a root in a brothel

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

[–] flambonkscious 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] hondaguy97386 4 points 4 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 28 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] TheOSINTguy 22 points 5 days ago

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

I refuse to play mind games with the unarmed.

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.

"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."

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.

β€œWho ?”

-Eminem

Still my favorite comeback, I use it fairly often

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

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

One for the modern era.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

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

May your pillow forever be warm.

I hope you step on a Lego.

Shh! The adults are talking.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 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)

I called JD Vance an Eyeliner Gerbil and everybody clapped

"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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Fuck your entire fucking life, ya piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

I've always liked "waste of skin"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Go brush your teeth!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 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....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

You spunk trumpet.

"You can't make a circle with a round glass"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

What are you for?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

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

Go suck a tampon dry

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