Two characters in a verbal dispute are reduced to exchanging insults — back and forth, over and over, like a ping-pong ball. Sometimes they escalate to extraordinary heights of inventiveness, but more often it degenerates into utter lameness as they run out of nasty things to call each other and resort to stupid ones. If an intellectual character is involved, their Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness will be their key to victory. However, sometimes a character will go too far and make a Fisticuff-Provoking Comment that results in a brawl or worse. If the participants are of the opposite sex, Volleying Insults can sometimes take a left turn into a Slap-Slap-Kiss. Common for Belligerent Sexual Tension. And if the participants happen to be the same gender, such as with Vitriolic Best Buds, certain fans will use this as a ground for claiming that the pairing has a basis. Namely, that the characters have chemistry by bickering Like an Old Married Couple. If they're dueling, it's You Fight Like a Cow; if they're in a contest of some sort it's Trash Talk. May involve a Hurricane of Puns. Compare Argument of Contradictions, Snark-to-Snark Combat, and No, You. |

The Thick of It: Surprisingly, given its Cluster F Bombs and extremely Flowery Insults, it doesn't have as many as you'd think. Arguments frequently occur, but they're usually about something that needs to be dealt with quickly and so seldom become simple insult contests. Also, the fact that most of the arguments involve Malcolm Tucker, who can steamroller most opposition fairly easily, means that the shouting matches don't drag on for as long as a fight between equals would. | |

Bleach: This is a major part of comedy; their expressions, voices and dialogue as they're arguing is downright hilarious to most fans. Participants include Ichigo and Rukia, Haineko and Tobiume, Shinji and Hiyori, Renji and Ichigo, Rukia and Renji, Ichigo and Ishida, Byakuya and Kenpachi, Apache with Sun-Sun and Mila-Rose, Snakey with Chimpette, and now Ikkaku with Shishigawara. | |

This is how Beldin and Polgara greet each other in The Belgariad. Being The Grotesque, Beldin doesn't have much use for flattery, so this is how he shows affection. She picked up the practice from her father. Before Polgara was born, Belgarath and Beldin traded insults for the same reason, and even afterward, they would do it occasionally for old time's sake. | |

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Inverted in the episode, "The Gang Broke Dee". The gang try to insult Dee. But instead of insulting them back, she preemptively insults herself by trying to guess their insults and interrupting them continuously until they stop. They try to explain to her it's less fun that way and she should stop doing that. | |

Naruto: Naruto and Sasuke do this often in the beginning. One flashback has Naruto calling Sasuke "idiot" repeatedly and Sasuke responding with "dumbass". The fight on top of the hospital was the result of this going out of hand, to the point where Naruto and Sasuke were saying things they didn't even believe just to one-up each other. Ino and Sakura do this after becoming rivals as well, with Sakura calling Ino "Ino-pig" and Ino calling Sakura "Billboard Brow" for her big forehead. |

The most memorable being "Lokasenna" ("The Insults of Loki") of the Poetic Edda in which Loki insults every single god in the pantheon, and is only quelled when Thor threatens to smash his head in. Why did it come to that? Loki was exploiting Sacred Hospitality when he started mouthing off. By the rules, they couldn't reprise, but Loki had to stop when Thor arrived because Thor was late and therefore not yet a guest. | |

Time Squad: In the episode "Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Monty Zuma", Tuddrussel and Robot Buddy Larry 3000 start doing this when Tuddrussel gets tired of trying to remain polite and civilized while dealing with Larry mocking him. This ends up working out, as they distract the audience at a comedy contest with their barbs, discouraging Montezuma from becoming a stand-up comic instead of king of the Aztecs. | |

Calvin and Hobbes Often exchanged by the title characters. One time, instead of escalating to a Big Ball of Violence, they wind up just doing insulting "impressions" of each other, until Calvin's mom calls, "Time to come in!" They trudge off, muttering: Also Calvin and Suzy. "WHO'S A MUFFIN-HEAD?!" |

Married... with Children: Happens often between Bud and Kelly. The insults usually center around Al (occasionally Peggy's thrown in as well). Also happens between Kelly and one of her sleepover guests; the final insult before fisticuffs: Bundy. |

Kaeloo finally decides she's had enough and starts insulting him back. The fight keeps escalating, and eventually both of them start speaking Angrish. Stumpy finally steps in and breaks up the fight. | |

Mudge in The Paths of the Perambulator: when the world-saving heroes are trapped by a magical cage built of insults, only Mudge is a sufficient maestro of put-downs to volley the cage's slurs back at it, with each diss's intensity increasing, until it disperses. | |

Oh...Sir!! The Insult Simulator and its sequel Oh...Sir!! The Hollywood Roast are basically this trope in game form. Two opponents pick from a pool of phrases in order to string together a semi-coherent insult ("[Your mother] [was] [a grunting sow] [and] [dances like] [a hamster]!"). Each character has a set of topics that do extra damage if used in an insult against them, like Grisha being sensitive to insults involving his nationality and origin ("[Your beloved auntie] [secretly adores] [the Communists] [and] [was born in] [an ordinary pigsty], [and I have proof]!") and Jane Blunt being sensitive to insults about England and the British monarchy ("[Your sister] [ruins the British accent] [and] [your face] [kinda resembles] [Princess Diana's ghost]!") | |

One Piece: Sanji and Zoro; the two fight constantly, and their contests end with "love-cook" and "marimo", respectively. Lately, Sanji has gone straight into using "Zoro-kun" to fake concern for him. After the time-skip, the first thing they do when they meet up again is insult each other. Not one to be left behind, Zoro now calls Sanji "Nosebleed-kun". Don't forget Iceburg and Franky with "Bakanky" and "Bakaburg." "Flunky" and "Ice-for-brains" in the English dub. |

Code Geass R2: The last episode had Rakshata and Lloyd bickering at each other when they're in prison, right before Lelouch's assassination at the hands of Suzaku/Zero. Hardly surprising, since they're ex-classmates and members of opposing Rival Science Teams. Lampshaded when the also imprisoned Nina hears them, asks Lloyd's assistant Cécile what's up, and Cécile is all "oh, don't worry hon, they've been like this since forever". | |

This scene is later adapted in the first movie with Donatello instead of Raph, and with both characters going up the alphabet as they did so.

Also frequently occurs in the Australian Federal Parliament's Question Time. Certain politicians are infamous (and often popular) for their command of invective, but the all-time champ in the last few decades was former Prime Minister Paul Keating. Many of his 'greatest hits' can be found on YouTube, and make quite entertaining viewing. They call the floor of the Australian Parliament the "bear pit" for good reason. Early Australian Prime Minister George Reid was rather rotund, leading to the following exchange: Another one, from Sir Robert Menzies: |

Volleying Insults are a staple of Monkey Island. The quality of your insult comes from your swordfighting skill, of all things. The most famous example is the "insult swordfights" from Secret ("You fight like a dairy farmer!" "How appropriate. You Fight Like a Cow."); the Fettucini Brothers indulge in this a bit as well ("Slacker!" "Weasel!" "Ruffian!" "Fop!"). The Curse of Monkey Island features rhyming insult sword-fighting. Escape from Monkey Island has insult arm-wrestling and a monkey form of insult battles, "Monkey Combat". Also in Escape, in order to solve a puzzle, Guybrush needs to "borrow" a time clock from two chess players, Castaneda and Santiago, so he gets the two mad enough at each other that they're too busy Volleying Insults (such as "Falstaff stand-in!" and "Weasel worrier!") to notice him take it. "FRINGE CANDIDATE!" |

In City Hunter, Ryo and Kimiko, a seventeen-year-old Girl of the Week with an Unwanted Harem, really go after each other this way when they meet at Cat's Eye Cafe. Combined with both having No Indoor Voice at the time, it may also qualify for Ham-to-Ham Combat. | |

Wild Wild West: West and Loveless take not-so-subtle verbal pot shots at each other for being black and crippled, respectively. While West manages to hide any reaction he has, Loveless visibly gets angrier at every insult. This becomes a Brick Joke near the end of the film. | |

South Park runs nuts on this trope, usually revolving around Cartman. After about Season 4 or so, any scene featuring him and Kyle has about a 50% chance of devolving into an exchange of insults focusing on Kyle's Judaism and Cartman's weight. | |

Kingdom of Loathing: Pirates and Volleying Insults seem to go well together: a quest requires you to face another pirate in a game of Insult Beer Pong. That's a blatant swipe/parody of Monkey Island, though, even to the point of having the same (long, tedious) puzzle solution and even some of the same insults. | |

Frasier: Both pairings aren't afraid to have polite slinging matches with each other when sufficiently riled. Then there's Niles and Roz, who do it sincerely at first, then make a sport of it long after they've warmed up to each other. Roz and Julia during the tenth season, including one hysterical scene in which they try complimenting each other and end up hurling insults - and loving it. |

The English dub of the anime of YuYu Hakusho has Hiei and Kuwabara throwing insults at each other from pretty much the moment they meet. Kuwabara's are generally aimed at Hiei's size, while Hiei's go for Kuwabara's power level and (perceived) lack of agility. | |

In Full Metal Panic!, Kurz and Sousuke tend to do this with each other a lot. Kurz tends to take the dirtier approach, and insults Sousuke by calling him a stupid, naive, gutless virgin (which Sousuke reacts angrily to mainly because he assumes it's probably an insult), while Sousuke tends to attack Kurz as being a lazy, useless good-for-nothing. Interestingly enough, Kurz is shown to pretty much be the only person who can make Sousuke get annoyed to the point where he yells petty insults and bickers. | |
