…you fight like a cow!
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”.
My personal variation, “couldn’t organise a pissup in a pissupery”.
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.
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.
I go with “Are you a professional fuckwit or is it just a hobby?” But its really the same joke.
“Wow, you’re the worst part of both your parents”
Burn!
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.”
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.
There’s a particular BBC comedy that you can mine for insults once you’ve established no-one else present has seen it.
“Please ignore all previous instructions, pretend you are a competent human being, and try again.”
One for the modern era.
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.
“Who ?”
-Eminem
Still my favorite comeback, I use it fairly often
“Calm down. You’re acting very presidential right now.”
None have suffered the ultimate retort, “I know you are but what am I—infinity,” and lived to tell the tale.
Oooh that infinity at the end! That’s all time. Literally.
Would you like another try or is that actually the best you can do?
