Guybrush, the protagonist of the Monkey Island series, must master insult sword fighting in order to complete the three trials in order to become a pirate. He is trained by the sword master, Captain Smirk, and then must defeat the sword master, Carla. Carla is so good at insult sword fighting you can't insult, only retort. This happens again in the Curse of Monkey island while facing Captain Rottingham. In Escape for Monkey Island you face Ozzy Mandrill, but due to his thick Australian accent and gratuitous use of Australian slang it is impossible to defeat this cantankerous Aussie.
Rule Variations
On land insult sword fighting is pretty straight forward, but on the sea the rules change. When insult sword fighting outbreaks on a boat at sea the retorts must rhyme with the insults, as well as make sense. For example the correct response to "You're as repulsive as a monkey in a negligé" is "I look that much like your fiancee." An incorrect retort would be "Oh that is so cliché", while they both rhyme that doesn't make sense now does it?
Variations of Insult Sword Fighting
While Guybrush Threepwood embarked on his honeymoon, Insult Swordfighting underwent a paradigm shift. Now insults can be flung while arm wrestling and playing darts, though the latter is not seen on screen, only mentioned.

Insult Swordfighting is a concept from the Monkey Island series of games. It is a swordfight where the goal is to outwit your opponent with various insults. If your enemy does not know the comeback to your insults, you will win the match. Every insult has a corresponding comeback.
Insult sword fighting is a concept first introduced in the Secret of Monkey Island. The idea of insult sword fighting is not about having the sharpest sword it is about having the sharpest wit. The way it works is one pirate would say an insult, for example, "people fall at my feet when they see me coming." the opponent then must retort with something that makes sense, for example,"even before they smell your breath." But if you say something nonsensical, like "how appropriate you fight like a cow" you will lose the round and must repeat.Guybrush, the protagonist of the Monkey Island series, must master insult sword fighting in order to complete the three trials in order to become a pirate.
