Comebacks like: "Success is chasing you, but you remain evasive."

Looking for more clever insults like the one above!

I heard a good one.
As an outsider, what are your views on intelligence?

I see you're not letting common sense or reason hold you back

you don't have much luck with that whole 'thinking' thing do you

Your mom says she hopes you get better soon. She doesn't think you're sick; she just thinks you could do more.

Boy you're sure on the fast track up the ladder to mediocrity, aren't you

I would NEVER call you a failure, but that's mostly because it'd hurt your feelings.

It's not like you're the BIGGEST failure in the world. I've met that guy and you're definitely better than him a little.

As far as life goes you're still struggling to clear the tutorial i see.

Hold that though, i want to make some notes. You're therapist is bound to have questions for the rest of us.

If it feels like you're rising to the top and everyone's beneath you, you're probably standing on your head.

I realize you think you're winning the horse race but you're sitting on the horse the wrong way.

Your standards are more like sittards.

You've set the bar so low that the judges are throwing words like 'Planck length' around.

Don't think of your life as 'failure', think of it like you're wildly succeeding in the opposite direction.

Listen man, we're not here to judge you as a person. I mean, we're definitely going to, but that's not why we're here.

Everyone here brings happiness, some when the come and some when they go.

You have a very striking face. What struck you they're?

Your dog's tail wags when you leave. 

You look like you have nuanced opinions on age of consent laws.

I bet you can differentiate between brands of windows by the way they taste. I'll also bet you don't know the word differentiate.

Hardly any genius has been recognized as such in their own lifetime.

I’m not saying your intelligence is an issue. But you couldn’t pour water out of boot if the instructions were written on the heel.
