17. The King Kills It, Every Time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv2nr1IMAic Quote: "I bet when you two were young, the Dead Sea was only sick!" Who Said It: Jerry 'The King' Lawler Who Received It: Stu and Helen Hart You wouldn't know it from watching Raw today, but Jerry 'The King' Lawler was once the funniest man in the WWE. His character was a loud-mouthed, rude, perverted 12-year-old boy in a man's body, and every one-line quip that came out of his mouth was minted gold. This is a prime example: Lawler, who was embroiled in a feud with Bret Hart, decided to go into the audience, find Bret's parents, and call the match in front of them. It's nasty, hilarious, and completely below the belt: one insult after another. And the crazy part of this? This isn't even that special; Lawler used to function on this level all the time, for every match, every show, and every PPV.
