 15. THE BIG LEBOWSKI (1998)
 MALIBU POLICE CHIEF (LEON RUSSOM)

The situation: Famed stoner and trouble-maker The Dude has been dragged in front of Malibu's finest. He is not paying attention.

The insult: "Let me make something plain. I don't like you sucking around, bothering our citizens, Lebowski. I don't like your jerk-off name. I don't like your jerk-off face. I don't like your jerk-off behavior, and I don't like you. Jerk-off."

Why it rules: It's not so much the insult as the response it receives.

 14. DETROIT ROCK CITY (1999)
 HAWK (EDWARD FURLONG)

The situation: Hawk and friends attempt to sneak into a KISS concert in 1978, but not before a random Guido beats them down and asks: "Have you learned your lesson yet, puke?"

The insult: "If the lesson is you're a dick with ears and a really bad haircut, yeah, I'd say I've learned my lesson."

Why it rules: Because you're picturing a dick with ears and a bad haircut right now, aren't you?

* * * * * * * * * *
 13. PARENTHOOD (1989)
 JULIE BUCKMAN (MARTHA PLIMPTON)

The situation: Young Martha is not impressed by the amorous actions of a younger Keanu Reeves.

The insult: "I wouldn't live with you if the world were flooded with piss and you lived in a tree."

Why it rules: Such imagination, such filth - imagine the aftermath of a urine-tinged Day After Tomorrow and you'll see this is a powerful diss.

 12. THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK (1987)
 ALEXANDRA MEDFORD (CHER)

The situation: Cher delivers a thumping put-down to smarmy Jack Nicholson's devil in a suit.

The insult: "I think... no, I am positive... that you are the most unattractive man I have ever met in my entire life. In the short time we've been together, you have demonstrated every loathsome characteristic of the male personality and even discovered a few new ones. You are physically repulsive, intellectually retarded, you're morally reprehensible, vulgar, insensitive, selfish, stupid, you have no taste, a lousy sense of humor and you smell. You're not even interesting enough to make me sick."

Why it rules: Big Jack doesn't get shot down like that every day.

 11. MEAN GIRLS (2004)
 DAMIAN (DANIEL FRANZESE)

The situation: Official boy-toy of popular school clique The Plastics, Damian spies a short and ugly girl emerging from a cubicle in the girls' bathroom. "Hey, get out of here!" she yells.

The insult: "Oh my God! Danny DeVito! I love your work!"

Why it rules: The only person it could insult more than that poor girl is Danny DeVito himself.
