How about this one from, I believe, "Twelfth Night":

"Thou art so fat witted what with drinking of old sack and
lying upon benches after noon and unbuttoning thee after
supper that thou hast forgotten that which thou shouldst
surely know."


Or perhaps:

"This huge hill of flesh, this bed presser, this horse
back breaker."

or to be just a little charitable:

"He was never yet a breaker of proverbs. He will give the
Devil his due."

There is always the classic:

"Your mama was a lizard and your father smelt of elderberries"

from the brownies in the movie Willow😀
