Surprised "I know you are but what am I" wasn't in there.

My write-in vote goes to:

--- "You bastard!"
--- "Yes sir. In my case an accident of birth...but you sir...you're a self-made man."

And the aforementioned is multi-functional as it doubles as one of the greatest closing lines in movie history too.

Re: The 100 Greatest Movie Insults of All Time

What movie is the skinny, big-nosed British guy that pops up three or four times from?

From what movie is the clip that begins at 2:48? I know it but I'm drawing a blank.

I've used, "Your Momma was a snowblower!" since I was about 5 years old. It still makes me laugh.

Another one I love that wasn't in the video is: "Hey baby, up your butt with a coconut." God, I love Bill Murray.

Not sure why they cut out the "I award you no points" part of that bit. For some reason, that's the funniest part for me.

Overall, some great insults. They probably could have filled all 10 minutes with A Fish Called Wanda.

Ha! I actually have that movie but haven't watched it yet. It's a spinoff from the British comedy The Thick of It.

Thanks.

This was some great stuff. There were about 3 from Full Metal Jacket, my favorite is 'you climb obstacles like old people fuck.' or something like that.

You're about as useful as a cock flavored lollipop.

Best part of that movie. Together with "It's like watching a bunch of retards trying to hump a doorknob out there!"

I love a good insult. Tom Cruise in 'Tropic Thunder' rules aswell: "Take a big step back, and literally FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!!!!"

Can't believe "Isn't that just like a wop? Brings a knife to a gun fight" is not in there.

Great clip, I'm glad the Christmas Vacation rant was in there.

Needed more Full Metal Jacket.

My favorite line that's not included is from The Exterminator. Christopher George tells an FBI agent, "Why don't you go take a shit? It's coming out of your mouth instead of your asshole."

Good stuff. Was hoping it would end with The Holy Grail bit, but they made a better choice.

Some good ones in there, but come on: the eggplant/cantelope sequence from TRUE ROMANCE, but not: "Your ancestors were **********s. Your great, great, great, great, great-grandmother was fucked by a **********, and had a half-********** kid. That is a fact. Now tell me, am I lyin'?"

Stuff like this should always have a limit of one line per movie. They should have included "You are so mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence."

Re: The 100 Greatest Movie Insults of All Time

There were several exchanges from The Last Boy Scout that I would have picked over the one in the video:

Joe Hallenbeck: Where are you goin'?
Jimmy Dix: To the bathroom, okay. You wanna come? The doc said I shouldn't lift anything heavy.

Milo: You think you're so fuckin' cool, don't you? You think you're so fuckin' cool. Well just once, I would like to hear you scream, in pain.
Joe Hallenbeck: Play some rap music.

Jimmy Dix: It's called a vocabulary. You got one of those?
Joe Hallenbeck: Sorry, my subscription to JUGGS magazine ran out.

Re: The 100 Greatest Movie Insults of All Time

None of those Last Boy Scout lines are particularly insulting, just brash.

My "missing insult" would be from Delores Claiborne. "Listen here you grand poo-bah from high-on buttcrack! I'm about at half past give a shit with you!"

Re: The 100 Greatest Movie Insults of All Time

I was kind of hoping for the insult from Carnal Knowledge (8:30 in)
