In Chile, not really an insult but rather a lament over how dumb people are sometimes:

"Si los weones volaran, pasarΓ­a nublado" (If dumb people could fly it would always be cloudy)

In Germany we have the saying: "Herr lass Hirn regnen. Oder Backsteine. Egal Hauptsache du triffst!"

Which roughly translates to: "lord let it rain brains or bricks. Doesn't matter as long as it hits"

I'm pretty sure Backsteine translates to bricks in general, am I right? On my side of the border, a baksteen is a brick.
