Now That’s An Insult!
Nothing can bring your blood to a boil quicker than an insult assailing your character–whether giving it or receiving it. Following are the 100 Greatest Movie Insults of All Time, including the King of Putdowns Rodney Dangerfield in Caddy Shack, when he approaches an elderly lady eating dinner in the clubhouse and says, “Hey, baby, you’re alright, you must have been something before electricity.”
Complementing Dangerfield are an animated John Wayne in Rooster Cogburn, John Candy in Uncle Buck, and arguably the most devastating insult on the silver screen of all time–Clark Gable’s classic line in Gone With the Wind: “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.” Because of strong language in some scenes, viewer discretion is advised. See you next Tuesday on LOL for more of the lighter side of life. –The Wickel
