Lame Comeback	comment	In a situation where the usual tropes call for a clever rejoinder, sometimes the absence of one can have the same effect (as far as the audience is concerned). At best, the retort is ineffectually weak or too nonsensical to hurt its target. At worst, the speaker can't even string together coherent words. Related to Comeback Tomorrow, except here there is no comeback. Also see Dissimile, Metaphorgotten and Buffy Speak for different kinds of subverted verbal setups. See Your Mom, Big, Stupid Doodoo-Head, You Are Fat and No, You for sub- and related tropes. Truth in Television; you know who you are.

Ginjo mocks him and says attempting a Shut Up, Hannibal! by simply telling the other person to shut up means you have no argument to counter the other person's words. Ichigo tells Ginjo to shut up, informs him that he'd been telling Ishida to shut up, then expertly refutes Ginjo's argument.

The narrator notes that Evil people have an unfair advantage when it comes to snappy comebacks, which Molly doesn't share because she's merely Wicked.

Ira — having put up with all the shit he's willing to take from George by this point — proceeds to completely demolish George and basically pegs him as a pathetic, bitter, self-absorbed and self-loathing man who, even if he had everything he ever wanted, still would find some way to fuck it up and be completely miserable because he doesn't even know how to be happy himself, much less inspire it in other people. Faced with this verbal assault, George's comeback — that Ira isn't funny — is exactly as pathetic as it sounds. And unfortunately, Ira has a comeback for that also: "Well, if that means I'm less like you, then good."

While this is one of the rare occasions when the No, You can be legitimately frightening (as she intended to follow it with a killing strike), the fact that the normally composed Deadpan Snarker Azula shouted this retort (thus showing the first cracks that ultimately lead to a spectacular Villainous Breakdown), means it can qualify as this trope. After Aang defeats Fire Lord Ozai, Sokka, Toph, and Suki mock him, and Suki invokes this trope.

One when Miis get into a fight, which can lead them to insult each other to varying degrees of efficiency. Like answering to "You're so stubborn!" with "Sticks and stones may break my bones but YOU ARE THE STUBBORN ONE!" The other option is the rap battles, where two Miis try to respond to the other's insults with a rhyme. When they fail, they may come up with incredibly bad comebacks like "You... don't sing very well" or "You... drive a dumb car" or "I have... more cats than you".

Lame Comeback / int_7884ec15	comment	Seinfeld : The plot of one episode was George regretting not using a good comeback on a guy who burned him. The comeback was "The jerk store called, and they're running out of you!" (in response to 'George, the ocean called and they're running out of shrimp' because George was stuffing his face with shrimp) The others immediately point out how utterly nonsensical it is and try to give him suggestions for better comebacks, but he's so proud of this that he travels to a city he doesn't want to go to, and makes an ass of himself again, just so the guy will insult him again so he can make this comeback. After all that, the guy deflects it in two seconds with "what does it matter? You're their all-time best seller!". The best that George can come up with in response is 'Oh yeah? Well...I had sex with your wife!' to which George is told that his wife is in a coma. By the end of the episode George is racing back to the airport having come up with yet another comeback. In the episode "The Dealership", Elaine criticizes Puddy (her boyfriend) for constantly giving the high-five to people:

Lame Comeback / int_a895e9d3	comment	In Portal 2, during the Final Boss fight, if you let Rick the Adventure Sphere talk long enough, he will eventually ask if you have a "Cool Line" prepared for when you kill Wheatley. After some unsuccessful attempts to think one up himself, he will try to invoke one by asking Chell to get Wheatley to say "You two have been a thorn in my side for long enough!", reminding you to do so as he is plugged in. Once all three cores are plugged in and the final part of the fight starts up, Wheatley's dialogue will have now changed slightly to include Rick's setup line word-for-word. Rick then delivers his "Cool Line". It's... a little underwhelming.

Lame Comeback / int_cc1bf35b	comment	As mentioned above, the "insult swordfighting" in Monkey Island is based not around actual fencing ability, but about being able to come up with clever comebacks to your opponents' insults to gain advantage in the duel. There are a couple of stock lame comebacks - "I am rubber, you are glue" or "Boy are you ugly!" - which don't work on any insult. In later games, "how appropriate - you fight like a cow!" goes from being a legitimate retort to Guybrush's go-to Lame Comeback whenever somebody insults him. In Escape from Monkey Island, Guybrush is only able to respond in Lame Comebacks to Ozzie Mandrill due to the latter using incomprehensible Australian taunts that no one understands.

Lame Comeback / int_f120845f	comment	The MMORPG Kingdom of Loathing includes a mini-game called Insult Beer Pong, in which you have to respond appropriately to various insults (e.g., if your opponent says "When I'm through with you, you'll be crying like a little girl," you say "It's an honor to learn from such an expert in the field"). But you can't just start with battle; you have to research the insults and comebacks. So you grab The Big Book of Pirate Insults, get into fights with various pirates, insult them at random from the book, and learn various witty comebacks, which are then available for you during the match.note The book insults are different from the beer pong insults, but if you learn every possible comeback, you should be able to come up with one that fits each new insult. For instance, you can learn the aforementioned comeback in combat if you use "I'll teach you the meaning of fear, you gutless coward!" If a pirate can't think of an insult, he'll stammer out something like "Yeah? Well... so's your face!" - and there are five possible Lame Comebacks for you to use during the match (if you want to lose), including "Stop waving it around like a featherduster!" - an extended reference to Monkey Island.
