ITT: A bunch of exotic insults that make people look like redditors

"A face for radio" is a classic

"This is why people talk about you"

To a performer: “Every time you perform is better than the next.”

To anyone: “I find you argumentative and easily offended.”

Best part of an insult is heading off the retort.

Do we really need more ways to insult eachother? Aren't things bad enough already?

The people who are making things worse are stronger than you, and that's why they're winning. You cannot affect societal change if you're going to balk at the idea of being impolite

Not sure if this qualifies but I always liked the countryness of "so stupid they couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel".

I feep like bell curves are pretty consistent left to right, top being the apex. Maybe some fields do it differently.

If it isn't tall in the middle and sloped on both sides it would be a line graph because it would not be bell shaped.

Two I like from history:

A lady called Winston Churchill drunk. Churchill replied: "Madam, I may be drunk, but you are ugly. I shall be sober in the morning."

Robert Muldoon, Prime Minister of New Zealand, when asked about the migration of NZers to Australia replied "Well, it raises the IQ of both countries."

Heard a new one related to men dating women way too young for them: "Those old men walkin' around with embryos"

"The young gentleman is an excellent ration powered space heater."

Heard this back in basic for a young officer cadet who was absolutely useless aside from the fact that they were capable of heating up a ten person tent via their normal body heat.

You're not good looking enough to be that much of a narcissist.

Valve finally got off of their ass last year and fixed a ton of crap and pretty much banned all of them. Haven't seen any since.

They also open sourced the SDK so most of the updates include a ton of community bug fixes

I don't find this one inherently insulting. I'd probably say thanks.

Great song. Never released on an album either, only as a single (then later on Greatest Hits compilations)

The Monty Python French taunters classic is a scathing insult and noone gets it. Break down the line: "Your mother was a hampster, and your father smelt of elderberries" Firstly, they are calling your mother a fast-breeding rodent, ergo, your mother is a whore, that one is simple. Second, why would your father smell of elderberries? What was it used for at the time? Wine, but better wine would ...

I'm sure the Python loved it when their jokes were explained in excruciatingly boring detail

It's all in the delivery, there needs to be a level of sustain, disgust or confusion in the last part.
