* In the first Adam Warren miniseries of the DirtyPair, we find perhaps the ultimate misfired insult. Kei's just had an exotic weapon snatched from her hand by a man who fears she'll set it off. "Set it off? Do I look as decerebrate as one of your KalSec morons!?" she demands of him. "Actually, no! We have ''standards'' for our morons!" he replies, and probably realizes a few moments later what he's just actually said.

* Lucky did a Insult Misfire (although the term "Insult Backfire" would probably be more appropriate) when, along with an army of animals, guarding the hospital where Dr. Dolittle was operating on a very sick tiger when calling the Police a slang insult, which almost caused a certain group of animal to leave their post due to a misunderstanding until Lucky set them straight.
--> Lucky: (to the Police) Pigs go Home! Pigs go Home!
--> (a literal Pig is attempting to walk away)
