One of my favorite movie quotes of all time, let alone favorite movie insults. This sort of made my day.
Posted by: Kalexal at June 30, 2010 2:20 PM
Enjoyable, but there probably aren't 100 great movie insults. I'd put it at less than 50. The D.I. in "Full Metal Jacket" had the best lines.
A string of screamed-out swears can be entertaining to watch, but not sure it counts as "great." Also, Colin Ferrell had the best insult in "In Bruges," when he was referring to Bruges itself.

BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!

Somewhere someone is having a choreographed fight sequence set to this music.
Posted by: Fredo at June 30, 2010 2:30 PM
I'm sure it took a lot of restraint to not give "In The Loop" every spot on this list.
Beeeeeeeeautiful!
This made an otherwise drab day into a GREAT one.
Posted by: popejenn at June 30, 2010 2:36 PM
LOVE LOVE LOVE! I am just going to play this whole montage on the big screen here in the office for all my co-workers.

Once again, HH (which I'm still going to call you even though you have a name now), you have outdid yourself, you cock-juggling thundercunt.
Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at June 30, 2010 2:44 PM
One more reason to love Betty White!
And I agree, R Lee Ermy as the DI in "Full Metal Jacket" had the best lines.
Personal favorite is "What's the matter Pvt Pyle, didn't your parents give you enough love as a child?"
Posted by: Uncle JR at June 30, 2010 2:44 PM
Have to agree with Slash on this one. The string of angry curse words doesn't require the creativity and skill a perfect insult does. The best insults are clever, calm and calculated. That makes em' stick.
Posted by: good ol' smokey at June 30, 2010 2:53 PM
Oh good lord that was beautiful.
WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO YOUR HOME ON WHORE ISLAND?!
Now that was truly moving, warmed my cold, black, shriveled heart. Reminded me of some real classics! Can we please have a round of up Gay Perry quotes now? Ooh, ooh, or Peter Capaldi's from In the Loop/"The Thick of It"?
The Malibu officer dressing down The Dude with that sweet turn-of-the-phrase was a revelation for me, when I heard it upon first viewing. I think it's still a Top Fiver, All-time. Right up there with Bill Murray's "...it's true. This man has no dick."
How humiliating for that guy.

Great name, Harry. You've grabbed the torch in a long tradition of awesome Harrys (Dirty Harry, Harry Hard-On, Harry Hamlin, etc.).
The Women (1939, I refuse to acknowledge the remake) has a plethora of outstanding insults. Bless you sir for including one of my favourites.

This really made my day.
Posted by: duckandcover at June 30, 2010 4:09 PM
I'm with Squeezie. "The Women" not only contains the best collection of insults ever but their venomous delivery is pitch perfect every time.
The so-called re-make was an insult in itself.

I'd be worried about my cube mate's opinion of me after hearing the string of profanities in that montage...but he looks at high powered weapons every day. So really, I'm more worried about when he's going to shoot up my office than I am about his opinion on my language.
Posted by: KatSings at June 30, 2010 4:52 PM
"You Warthog Faced Buffoon!" from the Princess Bride was always one of my favorites!
Great video!

It was only missing 1: ACE VENTURA
[Aguado stomps on a cockroach to provoke Ventura]
Aguado: Homicide, Ventura. Now how ya gonna solve that one?
[everyone laughs]
Ace Ventura: Good question, Aguado. First, I'd establish a motive. In this case the killer saw the size of the bug's DICK, and became insanely jealous.
[everybody "oohs"]
Ace Ventura: Then I'd lose 30 pounds... porkin' his wife!

I want to memorize this whole list, stand naked in a supermarket and recite it at full volume until eggs shatter and old women faint and security drags me out whilst still reciting this list. Then I will stand outside said supermarket naked and ranting. That's how much I liked it.

Posted by: Helena at June 30, 2010 5:29 PM
Can I just say...thank you, so very much, for including New Jack City. People keep sleeping on that movie. It is like I said: Wesley Snipes, like Cruise, is a hell of a lot better when he is cut loose and hamming it up than he is when he is all serious and brooding.
My roommate was just pointing out to a friend how hardcore the "Frankly my dear" line really was. Especially to those who really could not stand Scarlett.
That was awesome. And In the Loop is officially at the top of my Netflix queue.

I have never before wanted to find someone to insult as much as I do right now. I've learned so many new things!
Posted by: ZombieNurse at June 30, 2010 6:22 PM
I can't believe Dennis Hopper's "Fuck you, you fucking fuck" from Blue Velvet didn't make the cut.
Posted by: Dave at June 30, 2010 6:48 PM
Thanks for including Dolomite. I try to call someone a "Rat soup-eating, no business-having, born-insecure motherfucker" at least once everyday.
Posted by: Tracer Bullet at June 30, 2010 6:49 PM
Here I am watching In Bruges, right now, and I find this thing. I think, "Jesus it's gotta be on here," and there it is, twice. Although I thought immediately of "that's for John Lennon, you Yankee fucking cunt."
Also, it's a testament to Day-Lewis that he can give a line like "You slithered out of your mother's filth" the weight it deserves, because that's the most triumphant thing you can say to anyone. If he'd only thought of it, one of the angels would have said that over his shoulder as he left Gomorrah. I always loved that line.
Posted by: Benny at June 30, 2010 6:59 PM
Hi, my name is Brittany, and I'd like to call shenanigans because Nowhere in that video did Black Dynamite appear. Thank you for your time.
That video absolutely rocked! S'cuse me, I'm relatively new to these parts and had never heard of this Hanrahan guy- can't wait to download the rest of these, thanks for the list, and every time I check in Pajiba impresses me more and more.
Joe Pesci is my hero amongst insulting characters. He gives the filthiest words such a renewed impact and vigor every time I have the pleasure of hearing him; Gene Wilder's insane, near-explosive insults are so damn hilarious; virtually every 3rd or 4th line of 'Glengarry Glen Ross' together could comprise a textbook of efficient, effective insults; and Dennis Hopper's epic "you are an eggplant," full-length insult is one of the most memorable speeches I remember from the last 20 years.
(btw DAVE, I adopted the "fucking fuck" Hopper used in Blue Velvet when I first heard it and still utilize the term extensively)
That was great, guys.

Man, I'd really love to be able to say that in real life. Just haven't met the right asshole yet.
I've learned so much from the foul-mouthed ways of Malcolm Tucker. I think it's time to rewatch In the Loop and In Bruges soon.
Posted by: lindsaco at June 30, 2010 10:10 PM
That list was schizophrenic at best and totally shit at worst. Make up your mind if you are actually trying to put together the best movie insults or just jamming together every line that has more than two consecutive curse words in it. You can't have "Casablanca" and "Anchorman" on the same list and have it have any meaning.

I could've watched the whole scene from Roxanne.
And I love the line from Fish Called Wanda. "To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people!"
"Asshole!"
Posted by: trixie at July 1, 2010 12:05 AM
I once used an insult from Fish Called Wanda in real life. It worked, and felt so so so good.
Posted by: ThingOfThings at July 1, 2010 12:24 AM
Though the commentors have noted a few misses, it had the only one I truly cared about: Monty Python. To this day I call people bloody English k-ni-gets if I am a situation where I can't use actual swear words. The only one I missed was "you dyke commi dwarf" but for the life if me I can't remember what movie I picked that up from.
Posted by: Morgan Lefai at July 1, 2010 12:31 AM
Wonderful work hh!
I bet it was tough to go with "why don't you go home and fuck your mother some more" instead of "why don't you suck my fat one, you cheap dime-store hood," which is superbly crafted but delivered with a little less biting hatred.
Posted by: nigeltde at July 1, 2010 12:57 AM
God, Gay Perry has some AMAZING burns in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and that one might be my favorite of them all. This whole video is beautiful.
Gorgeously done video (though I was disappointed at the number of repeats). How could you leave out the insult fight from Hook?
Peter Banning: I bet you don't even have a fourth grade reading level.
Rufio: Hemorrhoidal suck naval.
Peter Banning: Or maybe a fifth grade reading level.
Rufio: Boil dripping beef fart sniffing bubble butt.
Peter Banning: Someone has a severe ka-ka mouth, you know that?
Rufio: You are fart factory. Cheesy, scab picked, pimple squeezing finger bandage. A week old maggot burger with everything on it and flies on the side.
Peter Banning: Substitute chemistry teacher.
Rufio: Mung tongue.
Peter Banning: Math tutor.
Rufio: Pinhead.
Peter Banning: Prison Barber.
Rufio: Mother lover.
Peter Banning: Nearsighted gynecologist.
Rufio: In your face, camel cake.
Peter Banning: In your rear, cow derriere.
Rufio: Lying, crying, spying, prying ultra-pig.
Peter Banning: You lewd, crude, rude, bag of pre-chewed food, Dude.
Rufio: You... You man! You stupid, stupid man!
Peter Banning: Rufio, if I'm a maggot burger why don't you EAT ME? You two-toned zebara-headed paramecium brain, munchin' on your own mucus, suffering from Peter Pan envy?
Don't Ask: What's a paramecium brain?
Peter Banning: I'll tell you what a paeramecium is. It's a one-celled critter with no brain, that can't fly. Don't mess with me man, I'm a lawyer!
Posted by: Matt at July 1, 2010 2:18 AM
John Houseman's eternal "here's a dime, now go call your mother and tell her you'll never be a lawyer" that made the law student barf ought to be included.
Yes for In Bruges.
You're an inanimate fucking object!

You're a smelly pirate hooker!

But where are the Trunchbull's insults from Matilda??
"Agatha Trunchbull: Her father says she's a real wart.
Jenny: ... A what??
Agatha Trunchbull: A carbuncle. A blister. A festering pustule of malignant ooze!"
Trunchbull: Sit down, you squirming worm of vomit!
Trunchbull: Stand up, you villainous sack of goat-slime!

Sorry to go all Nerd Police on you, but it's The Empire Strikes Back, not Star Wars, in minute 1.
Otherwise, great job.
Posted by: Mike D at July 1, 2010 2:04 PM
This was great! However, I would have liked to have one of the repeat movies substituted with the Liar Liar scene "He's a pedantic, pontificating, pretentious bastard, a belligerent old fart, a worthless steaming pile of cow dung, figuratively speaking."
Two additions: the scene in Flatliners where the little girl tells off Kevin Bacon, and also Kevin Spacey in The Ref: "You know what I'm going to get you next Christmas, Mom? A big wooden cross, so that every time you feel unappreciated for your sacrifices, you can climb on up and nail yourself to it."
Posted by: Sarah at July 1, 2010 3:04 PM
Not quite an insult, but I love when Holly says ""It should take you exactly four seconds to cross from here to that door. I'll give you two." in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Posted by: samantha t at July 1, 2010 4:46 PM
Here's that exchange from Flatliners:
Young Winnie: Hey! Hey, Fellatio! Got a match? Well, I do! Your face and my ass! Your breath made of buffalo farts!
David Labraccio: Do I know you?
Young Winnie: You don't know jack-shit! Butt-wipe! Needle-dick! Cock-bite! Jack-off! Limp-wrist! Corn-hole! Banana-breath! Shit-bird! Bird-turd! Turd-face! Kiss-ass! Brown-nose! Macho wimp! Limp dick! Fart-face! Tire merchant! What's the matter? Gonna cry? Come on, Crybaby Davie! Cry! Cry! Cry! Shit-face! Rat-turd! Ass-licking son of a bitch!
Posted by: Will MacNeil at July 1, 2010 6:30 PM
Just brilliant. Love the fact that you put Glengarry Glen Ross in here thrice -- there's even more in that movie that could warrant inclusion, but I enjoyed the mix of styles here. Funnily enough, despite all the great insults, I'm pretty sure that old classic Groucho Marx line got the biggest laugh out of me. There's something about the way he'd insult people which was so classy. No cursing, just pure, brilliant observational humor and writing that still stands the test of time. Of course, Groucho was also the one who said, "I married your mother because I wanted children, imagine my disappointment when you came along." Still wonderful after all these years.
Posted by: Topper at July 1, 2010 6:32 PM
Always liked the underappreciated line from "The Wizard of Oz" when Auntie Em tells off Myra Gulch...to a point.
"Now, Myra Gulch, just because you own half the county doesn't mean you have the power to run the rest of us! For 23 years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you, and now...well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it!!"
Classic!
Posted by: Marty at July 1, 2010 10:30 PM

@slash - yes, I agree. Most are just great rage eruptions, but it's a vicarious pleasure feeling the release nonetheless! I did belly laugh a few brain-hole-fucking-inanimate-fucking-object times though. I use to write down run-on insults in my journal in tha days of my yout'... When my mother was a hamster and my father smelled of elderberries.

Ooh! Also, what about High Fidelity?

I'm going to watch it again. Right now. That was great.
And thanks to Matt for posting the entire Peter/Rufio insult war. That always cracks me up.
Aww! You're forgetting my favorite insult of all-time (from a Disney movie).
"You are a worthless street rat! You were born a street rat, you'll die a street rat, and only your FLEAS will mourn you!"
Posted by: Annie_Reckson at July 2, 2010 11:55 AM
Loved this! Though I would have liked some Johnny Dangerously quotes, I LOVED the Rhett Butler final quote as he bids farewell to that PoS Scarlett O'Hara.

"I used to fuck guys like you in prison"
Roadhouse: Still controversial. Still Relevant.
Posted by: Squirrelgripper at July 4, 2010 7:23 PM
I can't believe you failed to include Monty Python & the Holy Grail. Some of the greatest insults of all time came from that movie.
"I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries."
and you picked weird ones from boondock saints and dodgeball. how you can exclude the 'i can't go buy a pack of smokes without running into 9 guys that you fugged' line is mind bottling. and i liked the 'bunch of retards trying to hump a doorknob' line from dodgeball myself.
way enjoyable regardless. huge glengarry glen ross fan i see.
