Line 132:
* The [[The Icelandic Sagas|Icelandic Saga]] of Gunnlaug Viper-Tongue (''Gunnlaugs saga ormstungu''). A major part of the story is Gunnlaugur confronting his rival in front of the king of Norway and them doing the ancient equivalent of freestyle battle rapping to see who the king favours.
* Mudge gets something of a [[Moment of Awesome]] in ''[[Spellsinger|The Paths of the Perambulator]]'', when the world-saving heroes are trapped by a [[It Makes Sense in Context|magical cage built of insults]]. Only Mudge is a sufficient maestro of put-downs to volley the cage's slurs back at it, with each diss's intensity turned [[Up to Eleven]], until it disperses.
* In ''[[Bored of the Rings]]'', Gimlet and Legolam frequently trade lame epithets.
{{quote|"Elf-dog," hissed Gimlet, retrieving his beard.
"Pig of a dwarf," suggested Legolam.
"Toymaker."
"Gold-digger."
"Flit."
"Wart." }}

* The entire concept of Rob Newman and David Baddiel's ''History Today'' sketches on ''[[The Mary Whitehouse Experience]]'', featuring two history professors insulting each other like schoolchildren; "That's you, that is..."
* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "Doomsday", the leader of the Daleks and the Cyberleader take turns insulting each other after the Dalek refuses an alliance. What makes this particularly fun is that both communicate in [[Robo Speak]]. Mickey sums it up: "It's like Stephen Hawking meets the speaking clock."
