I have no idea why the WWE keeps running to the well of "BAD BREATH INSULTS" as they've historically never gotten much of a reaction or added to a moments's tension, but I have to say R-Truth's battle-rap on Ryback, specifically culminating in the "his teeth duck" joke finally got a chuckle out of me. I don't know if that's a testament to Truth's delivery or what, but I actually enjoyed it.
Anyone else?

Definitely an improvement over Shelton Benjamin's offering of "It sounds like your breath smells; it stinks."
For the sake of Alex Riley's dignity I won't mention his particular attempt against Vickie Guerrero a few years back.

I actually chuckled at that. It was definitely his delivery.

Shelton Benjamin's momma's so fat, that every time she cashes a check, the bank bounces

I never got the point of an insult that the crowd would otherwise not trivialize without the opponent bringing it up.
Viewer: "Oh, I guess his breath stinks. What a heel!"

I think the answer is obvious; Vince has a problem with people with bad breath.

The answer is that WWE writers do not tailor the product to the audience, but rather to Vince himself, who is well known for having a sense of humour that would make an Adam Sandler movie seem high-brow.
That being said, Truth can turn shit into gold, just because of his vocal delivery

Bad breath is the last thing without a lobby or foundation or special ribbon. Its the last thing they can make fun of without pissing someone off.

One day they'll attempt to combine their two best tricks.
"Your breath is so bad the ball jumps out of your hand and to the other team. Oh, wait, no, you just like giving them a lot of interceptions don't you?"

I always remember John Morrison's awful "You have Hippopotamus breath" to Maryse. Made worse by the fact he said it in such a cocky way as if he thought he was the height of comedic wit by saying it.

If Truth is going to be pushed, it must be as Pretty Ricky.
