Eh. Too many clips where one person is telling the other to go f**k himself. That's not an insult; it's a suggestion. Plus, it's too boring and cliche to make it a great insult.

Like my dad always said, "Honey, just string it together like it makes sense."

I would have included James Cagney's smashing a grapefruit into Mae Clarke's face. It's not a line, but it's a great insult.

Got kinda tedious after a while. Is that the best we can come up with?

A few good ones, but most of those were pretty unoriginal and mediocre.

Missed the best one of all time, from Mamet's "House of Cards": "You came back like a dog to its own vomit, you sick bitch."

I might have thrown in a few choice insults from Roman Troy Moronie in the movie 'Johnny Dangerously'. The man just can't quite curse properly.

Disappointing ... too many of the clips are just plain abuse, over use of obscene language, shouted in anger, nothing really personal in there .... a real insult should say something about its target, something that would linger, that would affect the views of bystanders. Calling someone overused names is not a real insult, IMHO.

Yea.. I agree. Just uttering F-bombs is very immature and unoriginal.

Real insults are clever.

Example (1) from Winston Churchill....
Lady Nancy Astor: "Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea."
Churchill: "Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.”

Example (2) From Trailer Park Boys....
"The only way Ricky could be any dumber is if he died and came back as a turnip."
