* In ''[[Funny People]]'', George is verbally abusing Ira {{spoiler|after Ira has [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|inadvertently]] destroyed George's admittedly slim chances of getting back together with '[[The One That Got Away]]'}}. Ira -- having put up with all the shit he's willing to take from George by this point -- proceeds to [[What the Hell, Hero?|completely demolish]] the other man and basically pegs him as a pathetic, bitter, self absorbed and self loathing man who even if he had everything he ever wanted still would find some way to fuck it up and be completely miserable because he doesn't even know how to be happy himself, much less inspire it in other people. Faced with this verbal assault, George's comeback -- that Ira isn't funny -- is exactly as pathetic as it sounds. And unfortunately, [[Insult Backfire|Ira has a comeback for that also]].
