Did you manage to get a perfect score? It’s one thing to remember the Disney movies, but recalling the exact words behind those savage insults is a whole other challenge. If you’re a true Disney fan, though, we’re willing to bet this quiz was a walk in the park.

Why Sidekicks and Villains Get the Best Burns

You might notice a pattern: many of the funniest, most unhinged Disney insults don’t come from the heroes, but from the sidekicks. Why? It all comes down to comedic relief, a device that uses humor to lighten heavy scenes or defuse tension. Heroes and heroines, like Mulan and Belle, carry the story’s emotional weight, while sidekicks, like Mushu and Cogsworth, have the freedom to be wild, witty, and over-the-top. Whether it’s a mischievous companion delivering a perfectly timed zinger or cracking a joke at the most unexpected moment, side characters can pack maximum punch in just a few lines. The next time a Disney insult makes you laugh out loud, look closely at who’s speaking—you’ll probably find it’s one of the supporting cast.

In Mulan, Mushu’s “Dishonor on you! Dishonor on your cow!” is classic over-the-top comedy. As Mulan’s tiny but dramatic guardian, he blows even small mistakes way out of proportion, turning a serious idea about family honor into pure hilarity. Ridiculously funny and totally absurd, it's just one iconic Mushu quote that proves sidekicks always get the best lines.

Another sidekick who knows how to land a perfect burn is Jumba in Lilo & Stitch. When he and Pleakley are on Earth trying to catch Stitch, Pleakley tries to disguise himself as a woman, wearing a laughably bad wig and clownish makeup. Nani notices and comments, “Your head looks…swollen,” worried it might be a medical issue. Jumba doesn’t hold back, firing off an unexpectedly blunt comeback: “Actually, she’s just ugly.” The timing and sheer honesty make it a standout moment, showing once again how side characters can steal the spotlight with just a few sharp words.

Side character one-liners might not save the world—or the story—but they do make the movie unforgettable. Whether it’s Mushu’s melodramatic musings or Jumba’s sarcastic comebacks, dozens of Disney sidekicks deliver clever quotes that keep us clicking restart again and again.
