Lame Comeback: Difference between revisions

* ''Hercules Returns'' - Urses mocks Samson, trying to provoke him into a fight to see whether or not he's faking the loss of his strength. Samson's response?

{{quote|'''Samson, pitifully:''' I'm really angry now. You know what you are? You're a big poop.}}

{{quote|'''Brick''': Where'd you get your clothes...the...toilet store?}}

* ''[[Napoleon Dynamite]]'' has tons of this.

{{quote|'''Joey:''' ''(while playing football)'' Prepare to feel very bad about yourself.

'''Chandler:''' Hey, well, I've been preparing for that my entire life! ...Or something about ''you'' that's mean! }}

** In the episode "Eric's Hot Cousin":

{{quote|'''Jackie:''' Lobster face!

'''J.D.''': You're China! ''(walks away)''

'''The Janitor''': ...That's an outrageous accusation. }}

{{quote|'''Dr. Cox''': Did you feel that you weren't quite annoying enough without adding a delusional sense of grandeur? Because, I ''promise'' you, you ''are'' annoying enough. In fact, you're the number one contender for the middleweight annoyance crown!

* The MMORPG ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'' includes a mini-game called [http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Insult_Beer_Pong Insult Beer Pong], in which you have to respond appropriately to various insults (e.g., if your opponent says "When I'm through with you, you'll be crying like a little girl," you say "It's an honor to learn from such an expert in the field"). But you can't just start with battle; you have to research the insults and comebacks. So you grab ''The Big Book of Pirate Insults'', get into fights with various pirates, insult them at random from the book, and learn various witty comebacks, which are then available for you during the match.<ref>The book insults are different from the beer pong insults, but if you learn every possible comeback, you should be able to come up with one that fits each new insult. For instance, you can learn the aforementioned comeback in combat if you use "I'll teach you the meaning of fear, you gutless coward!"</ref> If a pirate can't think of an insult, he'll stammer out something like "Yeah? Well... so's your face!" - and there are five possible Lame Comebacks for you to use during the match (if you want to lose), including "Stop waving it around like a featherduster!" - an extended reference to [[Monkey Island]].

{{quote|'''The Spy''': [[Bond One-Liner|I never really was on your side.]]<br />

{{quote|'''Black Mage:''' What did you THINK I meant every time I said I was going to burn the world?

'''Red Mage:''' Who cares?

** He does come up with a better one after the battle:

{{quote|'''Flash''': While you're waiting for me to come arrest you, why not take some time and reflect on your mistakes! Hey, that was pretty good.}}

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3v0ZaZn23I This] 'Marvel / DC' spoof:

{{quote|'''Nightwing''': You're nothing but a hack, McGinnis!

'''Dan''': Good luck being ''stupid''.

'''Chris''': Well, good luck... you're stupid! }}

{{quote|'''Barry:''' Where's the jerk who calls himself 'The Tick'?!

* ''[[Invader Zim]]'' is not very good at comebacks: "[[Funny Moments|GO HOME AND SHAVE YOUR GIANT HEAD OF SMELL WITH YOUR BAD SELF!]]"
