* [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/justinpie/wonderella/series.php?view=archive&chapter=12545 This strip]] from ''{{The Non Adventures of Wonderella}}'':

* ''QuestionableContent'':

* ''SingingInTheRain'': "I make more money than... Calvin Coolidge... put together!"

--> '''Black''': I can't think of anything with J...''Kidnapper''!

-->'''Bob''': Wait a minutes, that's no good. (''Leaves, groaning in frustration. Hurries back a moment later) Wait! I've got one now! Marge, say 'Stay away from my son' again!

-->'''Marge''': Leave my son alone!
-->'''Bob''': I'll leave your sone alone... forever! Mwahaha!... No, wait... that's no good. I got one! Say 'Leave my son alone' again!

-->'''Black Mage:''' What did you THINK I meant every time I said I was going to burn the world?
-->'''Red Mage:''' Who cares?
-->'''Thief:''' Yeah, you're a weiner. You couldn't burn a match.
-->'''Black Mage:''' Yeah, well... Your face... is ugly. Shut up!

-->'''Giant Douche:''' I would hope that those students and their parents who question my qualities would simply look at my opponent. He is a turd sandwich.
-->'''Turd Sandwich:''' ''You're'' a turd sandwich.

-->'''Angus:''' Does that mean you're gonna wash [your hair] more than twice a year now?
-->'''Marigold:''' I'll- I'll wash ''you'' more than twice a year! B-because you're a ''stupid jerk!'' Who ''smells!''

-->'''Rice Boy''': You aren't very helpful, Bor.
-->'''Bor the Very Large''': Uh-huh, well - you aren't very large.

* ''SinginInTheRain'': "I make more money than... Calvin Coolidge... put together!"

* In ''{{Hook}}'', Robin Williams as a grown-up {{Peter Pan}} when he engages in the verbal duel with Rufio

* No, you really are a turd sandwich.

* An embarrassing scene in the opera ''Le Grand Macabre'', by Gyorgy Ligeti, has the White and Black Ministers calling names at each other -- in alphabetical order. It starts out strong with "Ass-kisser" and "Bloodsucker", until:

-->'''Jayne''': [[BigYes Yes!]]

** This also happens to one of the Evil Exes in the third book:

'''Scott:''' I don't like you.
'''Todd:''' Tell it to the cleaning lady on Monday.
'''Scott:''' ... Huh?
'''Todd:''' Because you'll be dust by then.
'''Scott:''' ...
'''Todd:''' Because I'm going to pulverize you sometime this weekend. And the cleaning lady, she... cleans dust. She dusts. And she has weekends off, so Monday...

--->'''George Bush:''' Who dares question my... daring... Jerk?

-->'''Jayne''': [[BigYes Yeah!]]

-->'''Captain Rum''': Aaah, courtiers to the Queen, you're nothing but lapdogs to a slip of a girl.\\
'''Blackadder''': Better a "lapdog to a slip of a girl", than a... Git.\\
'''Captain Rum''': So you do have some spunk in you!
