In a pinch, the good old; "Oh yeah? Well I had sex with your mom" always works. George Castanza used the wife one.

Some good ones! But let us not forget the Godfather of the snappy comebacks and oneliners, Groucho Marx:
  1. Do you think I could buy back my introduction to you?
  2. I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members.
  3. There is no sweeter sound than the crumbling of your fellow man.
  4. He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot.
  5. I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.
  6. From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend reading it.
  7. You know I could rent you out as a decoy for duck hunters?

I've always liked

If brains were gasoline, you wouldn't run a pissant's go-cart two laps around a Cheerio.

If I were as intelligent as you, I'd probably think the same thing...but I earned an advanced degree.

You've got two brain cells: one is in a wheelchair and the other one is pushing.

Here's one to use only if you can back it up;

"You'll never be half the man your mother was."

Are you currently accepting Your Mom insults, considering your opening with post#3? If so, I'm tempted to make a comparison with the cost of a phone call and a certain member of your family.
