Ha, I favour the arrogant monosyllabic conversation enders (rather like the baby in “Family Guy”) such as “Indeed” and “Quite so”. If used as a reply to everything the moron talking to you says he generally gets the idea after a while. “Thats another classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain”. ---

Also effective are: “Quite.” “Riiigggghhhtttt” or “yyeeaahhh” (spoken in lazy monotone a la Office Space Lumbergh) and my personal favorite, when you have no idea what the hell they’re talking about- “…and there you have it.” ---

When I’m obviously being lied to (as in “I’m not sleeping with him, honest…”). "Let’s play a little game I like to call “Which Is More Likely ?” ---

I also use “indeed,” “quite” and “Rrreally,” a la Droz in PCU. Or I make a toking gesture. ---

Mine are Simpsons related. After a long screed about something very obscure, or sometimes after someone says something really obvious: (Ralph Wiggum voice): My cat’s breath smells like cat food! General disparaging remark: (Comic Book Guy voice): Worst \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ ever! ---

A couple of mine - For something that makes so little sense everyone gets quiet a looks at each other: “Your world seems like a happy place. Can I visit sometime?” And for something completely off topic: “Meanwhile, out in left field…” ---

My favorite snarky remark is “thank you, Dr. Stupid”. (with credit due to Ren & Stimpy.) If someone is acting way over-the-top about something, they instantly become Captain Fantastic, or Captain Fabulous, as the case may be. ---

Don’t get a chance to use it much, but when somebody is rambling about something science/SF/conspiracy-related… “No more Sci-Fi Channel for you!” ---
