One of the major reasons why HBO’s dramedy Succession is such a hit with fans is because of the show’s savage put-downs and cruel insults delivered by some of the most overprivileged characters ever conceived. Having been compared as a more serious Arrested Development, the series follows the mind games of the ultra-rich, dysfunctional Roy family and their aim to lead its multimedia empire.
Every episode is jammed pack with memorable put-downs, all meticulously crafted, and highly intelligent. What makes the show even better is, according to Jeremy Strong, who portrays Kendall, the show’s insults are a mix of written lines and improv.
10 “The Logan Roy School Of Journalism. What’s Next, The Jack The Ripper Women’s Health Clinic?”
In the eighth episode of Succession’s second season, titled “Dundee,” Ewan Roy (who happens to be Greg’s grandpa) makes a jab at his estranged brother Logan with this insult.
Ewan is quite spiteful and jealous of Logan’s success, so this line was a stab at Logan’s incessant branding in the episode and is a way to point out his constant malarkey. On top of constantly trying to verbally bring down his brother, Ewan warns Greg to watch his back when dealing with his own family.
9 “I Guess If You Did Have Somethin’ Goin’ On Deal Wise, It’s Kind Of Like Dead In The Water Now, Right? Like Some Of The Women That Went On Those Cruises.”
Although Stewy only got about three minutes of screen time in “Argestes,” he may as well be named the MVP for delivering the episode’s most brilliant insult.
The line, of course, refers to the fact that he, along with Sandy, definitely knew about the Pierce deal and the controversy surrounding the cruises. In fact, he even knew more about the multiple cover-ups concerning the cruises than Kendall did. This was a big verbal stab also pointing out that there’s a leak in the Roy family.
8 “Romulus, When You Laugh, Please Do It In The Same Volume As Everyone Else. We Didn’t Get You From A Hyena Farm.”
In Season 2, Episode 5 “Tern Haven,” the Roys spend a weekend with the Pierces at their family estate. Determined to make a good impression on the Pierces so he can purchase rival company PGM, Logan tells all his children to be on their best behavior and to tone down their usual antics.
When Roman ends up laughing too loud while the two families mingle, Logan savagely tells his son the above line.
7 “The Butter Is Too Cold! The Butter’s All F**ked! You’re F**kwads And You F**ked It! – There’s Dinner Rolls Ripping Out There As We Speak!”
Connor is quite laid back compared to his other siblings, considering he doesn’t usually involve himself with the family’s drama surrounding who will inherit the company from Logan and become the next CEO.
However, he becomes quite neurotic when he prepares for Waystar Royco’s annual foundation gala, which takes place in Season 1, Episode 4 “Sad Sack Wasp Trap.” This classic line comes from Connor when he throws a tantrum and starts yelling at the wait staff.
6 “It’s Tough To Have To Tell You This But I’m In A Sexual Relationship With Your Mother And She Talks In Her Sleep.”
This one-liner also comes from the same episode as mentioned above. Earlier in “Sad Sack Wasp Trap,” Tom is given secret documents about a massive cover-up concerning multiple crimes committed on Waystar’s cruises, which include murder and sexual assault.
When Tom decides to go public with information, Gerri advises against it. When he confronts Gerri about where she heard about the cruise cover-up at the big gala dinner, she savagely insults Tom with this reply. Later it’s revealed that Greg disclosed the information to Gerri.
5 “What Is That – Date Rape By Calvin Klein?”
In the very first episode of Succession, titled “Celebration,” the Roy clan can be seen gathering at Logan’s house, excited to find out who he will name as the next CEO of Waystar Royco.
When Shiv goes in to hug Roman at their father’s house, she doesn’t hesitate to insult Roman and his new cologne by asking this. With no major comeback, all Roman can say is “You wish,” to which Shiv confusingly replies “You wish?” It’s a pretty hilarious moment that sets up what to expect from this dysfunctional, ultra-rich family.
4 “He Said That To Be Nice. I Think What He Meant To Say Is That He Wished That Mum Gave Birth To A Can Opener Because At Least Then It Would Be Useful.”
Continuing with the sibling insults, Roman throws this shade at Kendall in front of Shiv while their father is recovering in the hospital after suffering a hemorrhagic stroke in Season 1, Episode 2.
Even though their father is gravely ill, the Roy children continue to bicker with each other as they fight for control of Waystar. With this line, Roman is also trying to get under Kendall’s skin by stating how little he is loved by their parents, and who is the smartest of the clan.
3 “I Look At Your Face And, No Offense, But I See Dead Babies.”
In Season 1, Episode 9 “Pre-Nuptial,” the Roys assemble at Eastnor Castle in England to prepare for Shiv and Tom’s wedding. For the big event, Shiv invites U.S. Democratic senator and presidential candidate Gil Eavis, whom she was working for at the time.
When Connor gets a chance to converse with Gil, he throws this line at him, not only for having differing political views but also because of Gil’s public hate for the Roy family. There’s nothing worse than being compared to dead babies.
2 “Europe! A Nice Bit Of War-Torn, Spooky, Anti-Semitic, Vampire-y, Authoritarian Europe”
In the third episode of season 2, titled “Hunting,” Logan and his Waystar employees head to Hungary for the company’s annual retreat. This anti-Europe rhetoric insult comes straight from Tom, who takes a swing at Hungary during his hunt with Greg.
With this one-liner, Tom, along with the show’s creators Jesse Armstrong and actor Matthew Macfadyen who are both British, are able to make fun of the continent as a whole.
1 “Great, Get In There And Operate, Doctor Google”
Just like entry four, this insult also comes from the second episode in season 1. When Logan is rushed to the hospital, the Roy siblings are trying to figure out what is happening to their father, and if they need to find more capable doctors to give him care.
As Roman searches for information on his phone, he states, “According to this it sounds like a stroke, but it could be an acute subdural hematoma.” Kendall, knowing what Roman just looked up isn’t helpful, viciously mocks his younger brother’s intelligence by telling him to go in there and operate, “Doctor Google.”
