"You can't kick me because your brain is stupid!"
Death, Adventure Time, "Death in Bloom"

There are Ad Hominem insults. There are Lame Comebacks. And then there are these — insults so trite and meaningless that one may as well have called the other person a "Big Stupid Doodoo Head". Young children will resort to using these because they either don't know any better, or have run out of things to say. When an adult uses these, however, it's a good sign that they either don't have any real substance to back up their argument or they are quite childish themselves.

Other variants include "butthead", "snotbrain", "turdwipe" or - if the insulter is really desperate - borderline politically incorrect namecalling ("gay", etc.).

Sometimes Played for Laughs when it induces Felony Misdemeanor. Often involves Buffy Speak. The Bratty Half-Pint and the Manchild are fond of this.

See also No, You, really the only appropriate comeback to such an insult. Also see Badbutt and Gosh Dang It to Heck!, with which this can overlap. Flowery Insults are on the opposite end of the spectrum. Compare and contrast Curse of The Ancients, which is about insults (and curses in general) used by old people, putting it on the opposite end of the age spectrum.

  • In the first episode of K: Return of Kings, when the Kings are about to fight:
    Reisi Munakata: Third King Mikoto Suoh. Your actions are wild and chaotic as usual.
    Mikoto Suoh: Fourth King Reisi Munakata. Your face is awful and annoying as usual.
  • In Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Nia once describes someone as a "pissing-off person". Then again, most of Nia's dialogue is exceedingly polite, so it fits. That, combined with her shaky and limited grasp of idioms, and that said insult was a response to the person facing her down, Adiane, telling her "You really know how to piss people off!"
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! GX has Mad Dog, a Mike Tyson expy who spouts childish taunts and insults in a high pitched voice (English Dub only)
  • In Date A Live, Miku, who Does Not Like Men and is unhappily working with Shido to rescue Tohka from DEM Industries, calls him an "idiot, moron, stupid-head" after he asks her why she hates men so much. By this point Shido has unintentionally been getting under Miku's skin for a while simply because he breaks her world view about men by actually giving a crap about other people.
  • Nagasarete Airantou: Swordswoman Yoshidzu Katana and carpenter Abeno Kanna are rivals that hate each other from a few hundred years ago. And now their spirits are fighting while possessing Ayane and Suzu respectively. Their argument devolves into the trope after their evenly matched fight goes on for a while and ran out of things to say.

  • Lenore the Cute Little Dead Girl gave us this, uh, pretty fucking colorful example...

Li'l puffy rat-midget cotton-tushed cootie infested freak of nature-poo poo headed monstrosity of the 7th layer of heck-pee pee breathed-dookie eating-pig lov'n-crab like-bow legged-creepy ass-bulbous headed-smaller than a bread box-hollow brained-gopher lick'n-intestine shaped-bacon wrapped-no soap using-squid slurping-botchilism growing-crotch scratching-one balled-accidentally birthed-filth spreading-juice producing-greasy palmed-fart leaking-ball of crap shaped like a li'l man!
  • Runaways: Molly, the youngest member of the group, talks like this when she's first captured by Geoffrey Wilder (from the past). After he tells her to drop the act, she coldly tells him "Your son took after you, you know. He was a total freakin' failure". And after he shoots one of the others, Molly has some considerably harsher sentiments.
  • The Superman Adventures: In issue 23, Livewire calls Brainiac "Buttiac".

    Lockhart: YOU'RE... YOU'RE... A DUMB GIRL!
  • The Conversion Bureau: In some continuities, newfoals are unable to swear due to the effects of the ponification serum and can only use childish insults.

  • In Turning Red, Miriam calls Tyler a "butthead".

    Films — Live-Action 
  • In the Back to the Future films, the go-to insult of the Barbaric Bully Big Bad Biff is the supremely juvenile "butthead", even in the case of his future self as an old man.
  • In Wrongfully Accused, Ryan Harrison gets into a shouting match with a guard on a prison bus that ultimately ends with a series of these types of insults.

    Guard: You're the pee-pee head!
    Ryan: Mr. Booger Lips! Ca-ca mouth!
  • Same with Frank Drebin in The Naked Gun. Leslie Nielsen's dry, dramatic delivery made these sort of insults especially funny, it turns out.
    Drebin: Oh, it's alright, I'm sure that we can handle this situation maturely, just like the responsible adults that we are. Isn't that right, Mr. Poopy-Pants?
  • Annie in Misery (book as well as film) typically uses insults of this nature. It makes her that more menacing in the moments when she doesn't and actually swears instead.
  • In Kindergarten Cop, a kid named Zach is picked on by the other kids for being a quiet loner, calling him things like poo-poo head, poo-poo face and ca-ca poo-poo.

  • In Hook, Rufio falls prey to the "running out of things to say" variation when, after a long, volleying insult contest with Peter Pan, he loses his composure and resorts to "You man! You stupid, stupid MAN!" (Especially pathetic because his previous insults had also been borderline examples and only slightly creative, such as "scab-picked bandage" and "camel-cake.")
  • The aliens in Plan 9 from Outer Space try to reason with us Earth people by saying we have "Stupid minds! Stupid, stupid!" That'll teach us!

  • In Rags, Lloyd panics when his father catches him talking to Charlie and needs to justify the broken glasses on the floor (which Lloyd himself broke). He puts on a faux-Jerkass act and calls Charlie a "Gruntmuffin", an insult so lame that Charlie doesn't even know what it means and thus can't be offended by it. It's implied Lloyd either went with the first thing he could think of or used something nonsensical to not actually hurt Charlie's feelings, and fits with his slow-witted but kind-hearted personality.
  • Stuart Smalley in Stuart Saves His Family makes soft insults at Roz. The worst, which he acts was a Cluster F-Bomb, was calling her a "vagina".
  • Happens at the Twisted Balloon in Shakes the Clown, when Shakes and Binky get into an argument and one of Binky's two Mooks (both of whom are very childish, almost coming across as a clown version of Beavis And Butthead) poorly backs up his boss with "Well, the only show you could ever star in...would be a show called the...Not-Funny...Diarrhea Club...Fart-Face! (Also counts as Gosh Dang It to Heck!, since this is a world where people say ass and fuck on a regular basis.)
  • A friendly version is heard in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990): while fixing a truck, Donatello and Casey Jones engage in a game involving the swapping of insults, going through the entire alphabet. (They end up on "Gak-Face" and "Hose-Brain.")
  • Subverted with Eliot calling his older brother "penis breath" in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. While it does sound like something a kid his age would use as an insult, he's really calling Michael a cocksucker.
  • In Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, after Ron openly says "Fuck you, San Diego" due to his cue cards being tampered with a News Staff tearfully calls him "Poop Mouth" because of the "poop out of his mouth" before running off declaring how he now hates Ron.

  • On Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Jeffords — who is on an ill-advised diet — lambasts Gina and Amy, who initially joined him only to give in to their cravings for food by yelling at them for being "Team Eating Food". In his defence, he's too hungry to come up with a better burn.

  • Done in the Community episode "Geography of Global Conflict", when Annie has a complete breakdown at the end of her "Model UN-off" when it looks like her rival Annie Kim is going to beat her. Lampshaded by Jeff.
    Annie: I want to win! And you...you suck! You're a stupid, ugly poop-face and I'm better than you!
    Jeff: Annie, stop! You're acting like a little schoolgirl! And not in a hot way!
    (the audience gasps)
    Jeff: Okay. Uh... That made me sound creepy. But here's the thing...
    (Jeff abruptly leaves)

In one episode, after watching Will impress a Princeton representative with his streetwise antics, Carlton attempts to do the same and the official believes him to be insane and rejects his Princeton application. In desperation, he makes a death threat and gets suspended for it, and lands himself in hot water at home. When Will works his usual charm to try to cheer him up, Carlton ain't having it:
    Carlton: Get away from me! This is all your fault! You big poopy! You get all the attention, all the girls, everything goes your way, why?!
    Will: Because I don't say things like "big poopy"?
  • In an episode of Happy Endings, Jane and Max are fighting over a sweater which both claim to be theirs.

  • One episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit had a grown woman with dissociative identity disorder calling her lawyer "dumbo" and "butthead".
  • Mystery Science Theater 3000:
    • Bobo tends to insult people this way. Take, for example, this moment from Show 813 - Jack Frost:
      Bobo: [trying and failing to read a letter] It says you're a dodo-head.

    Harry: Yes, it does. If you put shit in your pocket.
  • She-Hulk: Attorney at Law: Jen Walters and Bruce Banner start fighting over his attempts to help her get used to the fact that she's now a Hulk too. Being cousins, their fight is less of a superhero battle and more childish insults and pushing each other around.

    Music 
  • Alestorm released a "clean" version of "Fucked by an Anchor" called "Flipped with a Sausage" that replaces the original's copious obscenity with lines like "Flip you with a mashed potato, you're all smelly ploppy heads."
  • "The Dumb Song" by Gawkman (better known as Psychostick guitarist Josh Key) and Murph (better known as Psychostick videographer Patrick Murphy) consists of virtually nothing but this trope.
  • As Cub tells us, "Satan sucks."
  • beabadoobee: Near the end of "I Wish I Was Stephen Malkmus", the singer tells her ex, "Your brain is shit. You're up your butt."
  • Considering his Psychopathic Manchild persona, this is a staple of Eminem's work. Probably the most blatant example is "Big Weenie", which has an overly long hook in which Eminem eviscerates his haters' insecurities and problems, landing on the pathetic conclusion "because you're a meanie".

  • Justified in The Linda Lindas'"Racist, Sexist Boy", since the youngest band member was in fourth grade at the time.
    Poser

    Riffraff
    Jerkface

    Print Media 
  • In an interview for Playboy magazine, humor writer Dave Barry referred to George H. W. Bush and Dan Quayle as: "President Snailsucker and Vice-President Dootbrain." (He explained that "dootbrain" is "sort of a mild, nursery-school way of saying shithead.")

    You big fat snot nose doodiehead stupidface tattletale barf breath poopypants motherfucker

    Video Games

  • A memorable exchange occurs on the Grand Theft Auto III in game radio station Chatterbox, when host Lazlow is called by a representative from a militant anti-phone organization called Citizens Raging Against Phones.

    Caller: [a woman who sounds about mid-30s] Nany nany boo-boo, stick your head in doo-doo!
  • Asura characters in Guild Wars 2 have been known to charge into battle yelling "You're dumb! You'll die and you'll leave a dumb corpse!"

    • Insult Swordfighting duels always give you the option to wittingly insult your opponent with "you're ugly!" and "you're stupid!" These insults automatically fail, with the only rebuttal being "is that the best you can come up with?".
    • And then there's Guybrush's often used insult "You big old bed-wetting doody head."
  • Portal: GLaDOS is a super-intelligent AI who intones in Robo Speak, so when she lapses into playground insults it is equally jarring and hilarious.
    GLaDOS: I have your brain scanned and permanently backed up in case something terrible happens to you, which it's just about to. Don't believe me? Here, I'll put you on:
    [In a mocking tone] HeLlOoOoOo!
    THAT'S YOU! THAT'S HOW DUMB YOU SOUND!
    • In Portal 2, Wheatley is inspired to imitate GLaDOS' insults from earlier in the game about Chell supposedly being fat and adopted. The best he can come up with is "Fatty Fatty No-Parents."
  • Games made by SNK in the '90s (such as The King of Fighters, Fatal Fury, and Art of Fighting) were full of this stuff due to their notorious translation. Victory quotes in particular contain some of the most ridiculous trash talk you'll ever hear. One of Ryo's win quotes in KOF '98 might just take the cake.
    Ryo: Absolute karate. That's Kyokugen. And don't you forget it, dweebenheimer!
  • Street Fighter Alpha 2 has a standout example in the English version, from Guy of all people.
    M. Bison: My soldiers are skilled, but I am supreme.

    (Japanese) Kono doteizoku yarou ga! (~ You vulgar bastard!)
    (English) You are an incredible loser!

    Spy: They should call you whiners Dr. Nooooooooo!
  • In Way of the Samurai 4, if you fight Kotobuki at the start of the game, and then confront him again in the evening after meeting with Akagi (who leads Kotobuki's enemies, the nationalist Disciples of Prajna faction), you can choose to call him and his lackeys "stupidheads".
    Kotobuki: "Stupidheads"? What are you, twelve?
  • Borderlands 2:
  • There's a moment in Mass Effect where Shepard can refer to a hanar preacher as a "big stupid jellyfish." This gets a Call-Back in Mass Effect 3, when an Indoctrinated hanar tries to sell out its species to the Reapers. Upon hearing the Insane Troll Logic it's using, Shepard gets so mad all he/she can say is "You. Big. Stupid. Jellyfish!"
  • Laura in Silent Hill 2 gets exasperated at James in one scene, and, after some stammering, angrily yells out "you fartface!" To be fair, she is a kid.
  • The titular hero from The Legend of Tian-ding will occasionally drop these kinds of insults before facing bosses. For instance, the second boss fight where he taunts Nakamura - a huge, musclebound mercenary armed to the teeth - by calling him "big stupid gorilla".
  • In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Yiga Clan assassins disguised as Hylian travelers will occasionally gush about Master Kohga, their Fat Bastard leader. Link has the option to say he "has a big dumb belly", which naturally doesn't go over well.
  • Tomodachi Life can sometimes have a pair of Miis fighting. They may sling childish insults at each other like "You smell like a chimpanzee!" and "You look like a potato!" Rap battles can also have similar juvenile insults.

  • Twisted Wonderland: Vil Schoenheit tends to call people he doesn't like "potatoes".
  • In World's End Club, Chuko and Kansai bicker from time to time, calling each other childish names. After Kansai makes fun of Chuko for being bitten by a rat, their squabbling includes these notable insults:
    Kansai: Why you nasty little stumpy, frumpy whizjiggit!!
    Chuko: Oh yeah? You stuck up, pin-headed, brainless fart knocker!!
  • In Undertale, Sans has some Trust Passwords set up in case he needs to verify a time-traveler, which he'll tell the player character if, with zero kills, you reset after hearing his spiel and replay it. In order, they are "I'm a stupid doodoo butt" and "I'm the legendary fartmaster". He'll call you out for being childish and infantile when you tell him these passwords.
  • In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the insults the Dragonborn might shout with the "Throw Voice" shout all amount to this.
    "Hey, slug-breath!"
    "Hey, melon-nose!"
    "Hey, cheese brain!"
    "Hey, ugly!"
    "Hey, troll bait!"
    "Hey, skeever butt!"
  • League of Legends: Jinx is not a very mature anarchist, and she gives childish and petty nicknames to her most direct enemies, calling Vi "Fat Hands" (for her giant Power Fist weapons) and Caitlyn "Hat Lady (for her signature top hat).
