== Anime and Manga ==

* The second ''[[Gundam|Gundam Evolve]]'' CG short ends with [[Zeta Gundam|Kamille Bidan]] writing an apology for destroying a camera during a field test of the Gundam Mk-II. The [[Wangst]]-filled "apology" includes this memorable line:

{{quote| "Letting a person like Lieutenant Quattro command a mission is like letting a monkey handle a bomb. Saying it, I even feel as if I were insulting a monkey."}}

* In an alternate ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' tale, 'Shooting Star', [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/cowboy_bebop_shooting_star/v02/c000.1/14.html rich people are compared to pigs] (in their eating manners). Another member says they're insulting pigs, even including a line defending pigs manners. Another of the characters even states that she used to be like that

* Played For Drama in ''[[Naruto]]'': Obito/Kakashi's [[Badass Creed|motto]] is "In the ninja world, those who break the rules are trash, that's true, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash."

 

 

'''Carly:''' No! It's a clown!<br />

'''Sam:''' Oops. Sorry, Clown. }}

* In ''[[Friends]]'' "The One Where Mr. Heckles Dies":

{{quote| '''Rachel:''' Have you ever seen so much ''crap''?<br />

{{quote| '''Paul Merton:''' Is that unfair to morons?<br />

'''Ian:''' And to piers. I mean, Southend -- very nice. }}

* ''[[Psych]]'':

{{quote| '''Czarsky:''' Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough already?<br />

* One RPGamer [http://www.rpgamer.com/games/other/psx/hoshigami/reviews/hoshigamirdrev1.html review] had much to say about ''[[Hoshigami]]'''s lack of sound quality (among other things):

{{quote| ''"The sound quality is the crappiest this side of the original NES and the compositions are so dull, so bland, so sickening, that you'll think it was composed by an ape! I apologize; I meant no disrespect to the ape community."''}}

* "Calling [[Seltzer and Friedberg|Friedberg and Seltzer]] untalented hacks is an insult to REAL untalented hacks like [[Uwe Boll]], [[Michael Bay]], [[Roland Emmerich]], and [[Eli Roth]]." -- '''[http://www.joblo.com/index.php?id=33285 Squid Vicious]''', Joblo.com

* [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara]] did a crossover review with the Last Angry Geek of ''[[Spider Man]]: [[One Moment in Time]].'' Said comic was supposed to be an explanation of the whole mess that ''[[One More Day]]'' ended up creating, but only ended up making it worse. Linkara once again [[This Is Sparta|loudly declares]] that [[Joe Quesada]] is a hack, and that calling him one was actually [[Inverted Trope|doing a favor to the other hacks out there]] by making them look better.

* From ''Rome: [[Total War]]'', there's the description of the "Deranged" trait:

{{quote| "There are those who say that this man gibbers like a deranged rock ape. The rock apes will take offence at this slur."}}

{{quote| We'd call him a weasel at heart, if he had a heart and it wasn't an insult to respectable weasels.}}

* In ''[[Jade Empire]]'', one of the more fucked up people you meet in the game, aside from the villains themselves, is the powerful Judge Fang: a man so disgustingly perverted that he's implied to have gotten off to a corrupt guard's genitals being torn off by starved dogs in addition to paying a prostitute a lot of money to allow him to "do things to her" that makes his own guards both flinch at their offensiveness but still pity her for having to put up with him. If your main character comments "Sounds like a really sick and twisted person", the guard quips "Nah. I wouldn't call him sick and twisted. That would be an insult to all sick and twisted people everywhere. Fang, he's on a whole other level..."

* [[David Letterman]] on the OJ Simpson trial: "To call this trial a circus is an insult to the fine people at Ringling Brothers!"

* "I'd call her a cunt, but she lacks the depth and the charm." -- William Styron. Nobody seems to know who he was referring to.

* There is a [[Face Book]] group that claims that calling [[Twilight (Literature)|Edward Cullen]] gay is an insult to gay people.

{{quote| '''Palin:''' What's the difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom?<br />

'''Stewart:''' [[Bait and Switch Comparison|One is a variety of dog that's unfairly maligned in spite of being no worse than other varieties of dog, and the other is an artificial demographic of mothers no better than other mothers]]? (Jon has a pit bull himself. He's a bit touchy on the subject.) }}

* Classic [[Evil Lawyer Joke|lawyer joke]]: A man loses a lot of money in a trial and goes to a bar to [[Drowning My Sorrows|drown his sorrows]]. As he gets more and more drunk, he finally slams his mug down on the bar and shouts, "Godammit! Lawyers are nothing but a load of scumbags!" The man sitting next to him turns and says, "Mister, I take offense to that." "Why, you a lawyer?" "No, sir. I am a scumbag."

* Another classic joke: A man walks into a bar and starts complaining about the president, finally saying "The president is a horse's ass!" Another man says "Hey, don't talk like that in here." The man says "You can't tell me you actually like that horse's ass!" "No, but this is horse country."

* Another generic one is calling someone "retarded", then taking it back because "that insults the intelligence of the mentally retarded."
