    Was walking past a building site earlier today. An attaractive woman also happened to be passing at the same time. Builders being builders started shouting down from the scaffolding at her, She ignored them until one hollered "Jasus you've got a great pair of tits love" She stopped and turned around shouting back "not as big as yours"! All the other lads on the job had a good laugh and he then shut up.

    Any other posters have examples of some good put downs as heard on the street?

    'YORE MA!' = Greatest comeback ever.

    Asking someone why their name is an anagram for retard is a pretty good one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,181 ✭✭✭LouOB


    I like:
    'its not my fault'
    'i blame the parents'

    Best one I ever heard was:
    *Teacher walks in with bandaged hand*
    Classmate: "what's that sir, wanker's cramp?"
    Teacher: "No, your sister crossed her legs."
    Classmate: "My sister's still in nappies!"

    Was years ago and I still remember it, freaking hilarious! :D

    Can't beat "So's your face" for simplicity and maximum annoyance!

    The best come back was to a manager in a hotel as he asked one of the guys that works with me, who is not a member of staff in the hotel, to move a table with him.

    The guys says no, i don't work here. the manager says "but you i am your customer, we are a team there is no I in team"
    My work mate says " yeah true, but there is a U in muppet"

    The guy was stumped and the staff that does work for him broke there s**t laughing "back in your box sunshine"!

    One day in school we were walking back in from short break. One lad in a year ahead of me had bleached his hair blond which was a no no in my school.

    A bald but proud teacher stops him and says "What happened to your hair"
    The student says: "Sir I bleached it, what happened to yours" in the most innocent and inquisitive tone ever.

    The whole hallway erupted and teacher was not happy.

    No it isn't.

    Some guy was having a go at me in work one day, having a bit of an argument. Then completely out of context he shouts 'your ma'.

    I paused for a moment then grabbed his throat and rammed him against the wall and whispered 'If you ever say that again to me I'll end your life'.

    I've seen Good Will Hunting too.


    Best one I remember from school was a young lad walking back in late after lunch chewing away. The headmaster grabs him and says "Are you chewing gum?". The lad looks up and replies "No Sir, I'm Peter Staunton!"

    The kid got so much respect after that.

    That was Winston Churchill.

    Another of his gems:
    Woman: Winston, you are very drunk.
    WInston: And Bessie, you are very ugly but in the morning I shall be sober.

    Edit: damn you The Bollox getting in ahead of me.



    Best comeback I heard was: Dude, 6 billion sperm and you were the fastest?

    Student in a rush to get out at 11 o'clock break is spotted by a teacher -

    Teacher - Going out for a fag Mr. Murphy.
    Student - No Sir, I don't smoke.
    Teacher - Did I say anything about smoking?

    That student was me :(

    Oh another time I heard a Taxi driver and another motorist having an arguement;

    Motorist: Fcuk you - you're a w4nker.
    Taxi Driver: Yeah and its a pity your father wasn't

    Journalist: Gordon can I have a quick word please?

    Gordon Strachan: Yeah, velocity.

    Heckler to comedian - Get off you fat f**k!!!

    Comedian to heckler - Excuse me, I don't think that is very fair. The only reason I am so fat is that every time I shag yore ma she insists I have a slice of cake.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 595 ✭✭✭speaktofrank


    Here is my favourite comeback from Churchill.


    Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if I were your wife, I'd poison your tea.


    Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.

    :)

    "Oh yeah, Reilly? Well, the Jerk Store called, and they're running out of you."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,510 ✭✭✭Jigsaw


    Another classic!!

    Person 1 - You're gay!!

    Person 2 - Well I used to be but I don't bother my arse with it these days.

    When I was in 6th year in school our Vice-Principle (who's was old school/hardcore type of guy) bursts in the room and shouts at one of the lads

    VP: BARRY! come here to me!!!!!!

    STUDENT: My names not Barry sir.

    VP: Barry, don't contradict me.


    The whole class just erupted,

    A few years ago a gang of us were out for a few scoops. One of the lads, not the most popular of the bunch, was always taking the piss out of people. One girl in particular who had a very thick Dublin accent got the brunt of it. So he turns around to her that night and said:
    "You talk too fast" - which was always a prelude to an accent joke. Before he could finish it one of the gang piped up:
    "No mate, you just think too slow!".


    My fav of all time is the one with the guy waiting in line to check on to a flight. There is a delay and he's getting more and more irate. When he finally gets to the top of the queue he decides to give the check-in lady what-for. She calmly trys to deal with him and settle him down saying there was little they could do. He then asks her;
    "Do you know who I am?"
    The lady at the check-in desk then, in dead-pan manner, takes her mike and announces over the loud speaker that there is a man at her counter who doesn't know who he is and if anyone can identify him they should make their way over immediately.

    I was walking back from the Spar with mates on a lunch break from school. Random bloke in a car with his mate stopped on the Malahide Road at traffic lights leans out and says
    "Hey mate McDonalds is that way" *pointing in opposite direction* then leaning back in and laughing with his mate.
    I shout over to him "Yeah mate the dole collection is that way"

    Me and mates started bursting out laughing. You kinda had to be there though :D.
