There are [[Ad Hominem]] insults. There are [[Lame Comeback|Lame Comebacks]]s. And then there are these -- insultsthese—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 don't have any real substance to back up their argument.
 
Sometimes [[Played for Laughs]] when it induces [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]] Often the final stage of a round of [[Volleying Insults]].

Line 12 ⟶ 14:
** [[Riding With Death|"Turkey," you say?]]
 
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[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 [[Blunt Metaphors Trauma|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!"
* The 4Kids dub of ''[[One Piece]]'' has Arlong and the rest of the Fishman Pirates call humans the oh-so-''scathing'' insult of "Pewmans". It makes them feel less like dangerous racial supremacists, and more like bullies hurling insults at a playground.
 
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* ''[[My Immortal]]'' has Professor McGonagall yelling, "STOP IT NOW YOU HORNY SIMPLETONS!" after Ebony and Vampire "jump on each other and start screwing." [[Making Love in All the Wrong Places|In public.]] ''[[Making Love in All the Wrong Places|While a class is in session.]]''
** There's also Volzemort yelling, "U moronic idiots!" [[Rouge Angles of Satin|angstily]] at Eboby the second time he hijacks an MCR concert.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'': the Pharaoh's best retort to Yugi's insults is something along the lines of "Yeah, well, you're really small. Look at you down there! You're like Smally Mc Small. [[Beat Panel|*beat*]] That's your name."
** Later Joey starts mocking Odion because he's bald. [[Overly Long Gag|Over and over and over again.]]
* In ''[[The Secret Return of Alex Mack]]'', "jerkhead" seems to be about the worst thing Alex is capable of calling someone -- with [[Precision F-Strike|one notable exception]].
 
== [[Film]] - Animation ==
* In ''[[Lilo and Stitch]]'', Nani is almost hit by a car as she rushes back home and shouts at the driver, "Watch where you're going, stupidhead!" It comes back to bite her when said "stupidhead" turns out to be the social worker assigned to her. This is [[Call Back|later used]] by Stitch against Gantu--asGantu—as a sign of [[Character Development]], [[Fridge Brilliance|no less]], since such an insult is [[Lighter and Softer]] compared to his untranslated alien insults from the start of the movie that the Councilwoman finds so repulsive.
 
== [[Film]] - Live Action ==
Line 30 ⟶ 34:
'''Guard''': ''You'' are the pee-pee head!
'''Ryan''': Mr. Booger Lips! Ca-ca mouth! }}
* Same with [[Leslie Nielsen|]] as Frank Drebin]] in ''[[The Naked Gun]]''. Nielsen's dry, dramatic delivery made these sort of insults especially funny, it turns out.
{{quote|'''Drebin''': Now, now. I'm certain we can resolve this like the mature, rational adults we both are. Isn't that right, ''Mr. '''Poopie Pants'''''?}}
* In ''[[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World]],'' while trying to dissuade Scott from romantically pursuing Ramona, Julie says she didn't want Scott to know Ramona had just broken up with someone because he's "a total lady killer wannabe ''jerky jerk''." (Emphasis added.)
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Will and Grace]]'': when Ellen finds out that [[Really Gets Around|Grace once slept with her fiance Rob]], she decides she has to sleep with Will to balance it out, despite [[Incompatible Orientation|his protests]]. When he tells her to stop and look at what she's doing, she flings herself on his bed in despair and declares herself to be a "dumb, stupid idiothead." When he goes to comfort her, [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)|she pounces on him.]]
* On ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' Bobo tends to insult people this way. Take, for example, this moment from Show 813 - Jack Frost:
{{quote|'''Bobo''' (trying and failing to read a letter): It says you're a dodo-head.
Line 44 ⟶ 48:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Portal 2]]'': At a certain point in the game, Wheatley is inspired to imitate GLaDOS' [[Deadpan Snarker|Deadpan Snarking]] at Chell earlier in the game about [[You Are Fat|her weight]] and [[Parental Abandonment]]. The best he can come up with is "Fatty fatty no-parents."
** GLaDOS is prone to juvenile insults this herself, particularly in the first game.
{{quote|'''[[G La DOSGLaDOS]]''': All your other friends were invited, too, but they couldn't come because you don't have any other friends. }}
* A [[Crowning Moment of Funny|memorable]] exchange occurs on the ''[[Grand Theft Auto III]]'' [[GTA Radio|in game radio station Chatterbox]], when host Lazlow is called by a representative from a militant anti-phone organization called [[Fun with Acronyms|Citizens Raging Against Phones]]. When Lazlow begins to poke holes in the callers arguments (particularly, that she herself must be using a phone to call in to the station) both parties in the conversation rapidly devolves into playground insults, culminating in this:
{{quote|'''Caller:''' (''A woman who sounds about mid-30's'') Nany nany boo-boo, stick your head in doo-doo!}}
Line 56 ⟶ 60:
'''Guy:''' Yea, a supreme fat-head! }}
* Most of the trash talk in ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' is of this calibre. With the Spy, it's doubly hilarious because he says fratboy-level insults as if he's [[James Bond]].
* ''[[Monkey Island]]''{{'}}s Insult Swordfighting 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?".
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]].'' When Rocko gets rejected for a teaching job at an etiquette school, Molly says, "Aw, they're just a gaggle of poop-headed elitists! You're neat!"
* In ''[[Everyday Heroes]]'', when Greta Goode actually ''loses a video game'' (*gasp!*), she [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=157096 unleashes her fury] on the victor ... which, at age 7, amounts to "You big stinkybutt!"
* Elan in ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' is prone to using insults like these.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In ''[[Family Guy]]'', a girl told Bill Cosby that the guy who molested her had "a big stupid doodoo head".
* In ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', after an accident with a proton accelerator while at college, Homer was assigned some outside tutoring by the Dean. Homer decides to get revenge by prank calling the Dean:
{{quote|''(telephone rings, Dean picks up)''
'''Dean:''' Hello?
Line 72 ⟶ 76:
'''Homer:''' AAH! ''(flees)'' }}
* ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'', considering that they're all ten years old, has the word "Dummyhead" used several times.
* From ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]'', " Stinkyhat" and "[[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness|Odiferous curdcoat]]!"
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' has Patrick calling a gang of bikers "little baby doody heads."
* [[Futurama]] is the [[Trope Namer]]. Leela used it as a capstone to an angry rant.
* In Part 2 of the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] episode "The Return Of Harmony", Fluttershy calls Discord "That big dumb meanie".
** Pinkie's song in the second part of the pilot has a line that goes "And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone!"
* In ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]'' Halloween Special, a monster named Boogaloo is terrorizing the city. Peter tries to get its attention. "Hey, Boogaloo! You're ugly and your mother dresses you funny!". For the record, Boogaloo is about a hundred feet tall, covered in multiple faces and tentacles, and not wearing any clothing at all. Nevertheless, it works.
{{quote|'''Boogaloo:''' That's cute. I ''hate'' cute.}}
* Bubbles in [[The Powerpuff Girls]] episode "Bubblevicious,", as she takes Mojo's ray to level 11:
{{quote|'''Bubbles:''' (''straining with all her reserve'') I'm...not...gonna...cry...you...big...DOO-DOO BRAIN!!}}
* In ''[[The Owl House]]'', Eda often insults [[The Rival| her sister Lilith this way]], and Lilith is really no better. Not when anyone else is watching, of course.
 
== [[Real Life]] ==
* At least one would-be vandal to visit All The Tropes seemed to think that "lol kill yourselves" was a devastating attack, so cutting and condemning that there could be no possible comeback and the moderation staff at ATT would be struck dumb by his wit and sophistication. When it actually was kind of lame and pathetic.
