I know you are but what am I

I was a kid in the 60's.. This phrase was not used by older sophisticated persons.. It was simply a juvenile response to juvenile name calling.. Some dumb kid would say: "You're Stupid" the simple and quick response would be "I know you are but what am I".. Sometimes (probably when first used) a good come back to one who was truly stupid, because it confounds them, confuses them.. "Uh uh uh, um, you're stupid?"



I know you are but what am I
The best come back to any insult in the history of the planet. Using this phrase will completely destroy and annihilate your component, so only use of absolutely necessary. (Say they think Sam and cat is a good TV show)
Example:
Fred:Our mom just died

Joe:I know you are but what am I


I know you are but what am I
Basically you can't come back from it unless you use an Uno reverse card. An op roast for kids 7-10
Example:
Gay1:your mum gay lol
Gay2:no u

Gay1:uno reverse card

Gay2:I know you are but what am I

Gay1:fuck


I know you are, but what am I?
It's quite simply the most retarded comeback someone makes when they've completely lost the argument. This statement signifies that the argument has gone to a completely immature level. Below is a hardcore argument starting with the immature statement :)
Example:
Person 1: I know you are, but what am I?

Person 2: Good question. What are you?

Person 1: Wow, you're so dumb, you don't even know what I am?

Person 2: You're so dumb, you can't even answer my question.

Person 1: I don't answer stupid questions. Sorry.

Person 2: Then you shouldn't have made your first one.


i know you are, but what am i
the most offensive comeback to ever be said. this comeback makes "your mom" seem like a nice thing to say. this comeback can out roast any insult thrown your way.
Example:
person one:You gay

person two: i know you are, but what am i

whole everyone else: OOOOHHHHHHH


I know you are, but what am I?
A retort with profound implications. Pee Wee's greatest contribution to youth culture.
Example:
Person A: You smell bad.

Person B: There's this thing about a small squirrel and how nobody loves you. Hi-ya! Now that's what I call a verbal bitch-slap.

Person A: I know you are, but what am I?

Person B: Haha what a complete fail of a a comeback. It's like, your face is all red, and you can't come up with a comeback.

Person A: It made no sense, but therein lies the point. The notion that one needs to respond with a rehearsed "comeback" is inane. Your squirrel-centric comeback was also inane; it failed to address your abhorrent smell, it seemed to mistake randomness for wit (really a squirrel?), and the mere fact that you would use it as an example of a verbal bitch-slap is laughable, as it lacks slap. It is quite slap-less. I respond to inanity with inanity.

Person B: Well, "your" still a faggot. And now I'm going to win this by blowing your mind with an ounce of inverse-Descartian drivel.

Person A: Nooooooooooooooo


I know you are, but what am I?
An amateur insult comeback. It is often regarded as one of the worst possible insult comebacks, being criticized for its lack of creativity, low versatility, and manipulation of English grammar in the word "you."

The comeback was popularized by a scene from the 1985 film 'Pee-Wee's Big Adventure,' in which Pee-Wee Herman repeatedly says the comeback after being told a string of insults by someone else.
Example:
Mark: You should have let me copy your test answers in class today.
Jim: No, it's against the rules. Stop relying on me to bail you out all the time. You're such a blowhard sometimes...
Mark: Oh, yeah? Well, you're a coffee whore whose father is on crack!
Jim: I know you are, but what am I?
Mark: You're a loser who doesn't let me copy your test answers in class!
Jim: I know you are, but what am I?
Mark: -_- seriously dude


I know you are but what am I?
A complete fail of a comeback... basicaly... you would use it when you get verbally bitch slapped your face is all red... and you cannot come up with a comeback.
Example:
Faggot: You smell bad

Me: Wow... because you said that dis you went from nobody loving you... to having a small squirl start to love you... oh wait... that squirl just got ran over by a car... your back to nobody loving you...

Faggot: I know you are but what am I?
