Favourite OFAH insult

Inspired by the "Favourite Blackadder insults" thread I was thinking about OFAH insults. And there were lots of them.

Here's one:

Del: (about Rodney) "I think he's very much like you, Grandad!"

Grandad: "What, dignified in defeat?"

Del: "No, a ponce!"

Great how Del Boy manages to insult two people at once.

And one of my favourites:

Rodney lost his job at Alan Parry's firm and gets replaced by a young trainee called Elvis.

Del: "The spotty one? Only left school last year?"
.....

Rodney: "...Elvis is not daft."

Del: "There's no danger of him winning Blockbusters though, is there? (To Albert) He's the one who thought sugar diabetes was a Welsh flyweight."

You plonker!

Not so much an insult: He died a couple of years before I was born. Trigger about his dad.

Insult from Del boy About Granddad. His brain went years ago, now his legs have gone. There's only the middle bit of him left. :D :D

"Oh Shut Up , You Tart!"

Yes, that was great.
Insulting old people is really funny; here's another example:

Boycie to Albert while seeing a hearse: "Albert, your mini cab has arrived!!" Laughing out loud

Laughing out loud Laughing out loud

You can't do better than "Wodney..."

In the same episode "What do expect from someone who gets his props from Mathesons?"

Boycie about Trigger:
"Have you ever spent an evening in Trigger's flat? It's like having a séance with Mr Bean."

Boycie and Del about the Driscoll Brothers:

Boycie: "Well, one of them looks like he was evicted from the planet of the apes."

Del: "Yeah, and the other one reminds me of Cliff Richard."

Mike: "What, he's younger than his years?"

Del: "No, he's got one of them faces you'd like to slap."

Del to Albert:That laugh of yours,sounds like someone trying to jump start a Lada
Rodney to Del:If you had been in charge of the Last Supper it would have been a takeaway Laughing out loud

"When Boycie was born, the midwife held him up and slapped his mother."

"You smell like a vegetarians fart."

Laughing out loud Which episode was that in please?

Good thread Gordon, shows a real writer putting a young pretender in his place. These are lovely insults for defo.

Marlene (about Rodney): "You must have missed him when he left your partnership."

Del: "Oh yeah, I missed him like George Michael missed Andrew Ridgely."

Bit dated now, isn't it?
