Line 148:
* in one episode of the incredibly obscure Uk [[Sitcom]] ''Never The Twain'' Windsor Davies character gets into one of these with a French waiter which ends with both of them consulting a phrase book/dictionary in order to continue the insults. Funnier than it sounds.
* In the Avery Schrieber episode of ''[[The Muppet Show]]'', Avery does a sketch where he battles "the Monster of the Moors" (Sweetums) in an insult contest.
* Buffy and Willow in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'':
{{quote|'''Willow:''' I'll stop giving you a hard time... Runaway.
'''Buffy:''' Will!
Line 161:
'''Buffy:''' Witch.
'''Willow:''' Freak. }}
* ''[[Reba]]'' has Reba's ex-husband, Brock, and her close friend, [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis|Lori Ann]] interact with each other in this fashion. For example:
{{quote|'''Brock, upon walking into Reba's eldest daughter's baby shower''': Look at all these beautiful women. [[My Friends and Zoidberg|(Looks at Lori Ann) You must be security.]]
'''Lori Ann, looking at Brock''': I thought we agreed not to hire a clown. }}
Line 184:
'''Jeff''': No, because you're a 5-year-old girl and there's a pecking order. }}
* In the ''[[Two and A Half Men]]'' episode "For the Sake of the Child", Charlie and Alan take turns at insulting each other, using up insults that start with each letter of the alphabet. When we see them, they're at L.
* Surprisingly, given it's [[Beyond the Impossible]] [[Cluster F-Bomb
* Happens often between Bud and Kelly on ''[[Married... with Children]]''. The insults usually center around Al (occasionally Peggy's thrown in as well). Also happens between Kelly and one of her sleepover guests; the final insult before fisticuffs: Bundy.
* [[Discussed Trope|Discussed]] ''and'' [[Invoked Trope|invoked]] in the very first episode of ''[[Welcome Back, Kotter]]'', in which Mr. Kotter contrasts the differences between the 1950s and 1970s versions of "The Dozens" by engaging Barbarino in an exchange of insults. (Kotter uses [[Your Mom|"your mother"]] attacks as examples of the 50s, Barbarino uses the immortal "Up your nose with a rubber hose".)
