As a generation, we have a particular knack for coming up with fantastically accurate insults for any occasion at the drop of a hat. And how did we develop this ability? The answer is clear: television. For your (and our) amusement, we have compiled a list of the worst insults we could find from the movies and shows we have all watched once or twice (or 16 times). So, here you go – a list of the most relentless, heart-crushing, gasp-evoking insults we can’t believe made it to the screen.
1. When Josh knew how to hit Cher where it hurt
2. When Hell’s Kitchen got dark REALLY quickly
3. Anytime Kate Sanders said anything
4. And even old school Amanda
*Nostalgically sheds tear*
5. When The Real Housewives got realer than any of us could have predicted
6. Now, now Marshall. Take a beat
7. Almost every time Blair had a line
8. When The Sandlot had us all quackin’ in our boots
9. When Ron Burgundy said what we were all thinking
10. This iconic Mean Girls showdown
11. When Heather #1 shut Heather #2 down
12. This exchange that Uncle Jesse would certainly not approve of
13. Vivian won’t be going out on Halloween anymore after this burn
14. When Maggie Gyllenhaal shut Jake up for good
15. Anytime Paris Hilton turned away a potential new BFF on her reality show
16. When Billy showed Mr. Schneebly who’s boss
17. When Steve Carell wasn’t scared to bite back
18. When Wednesday Addams revolutionized what it meant to be a bad b*tch
It is really no wonder we have come to be known as the sassiest generation yet…
But honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
