"I, too, am extraordinarily humble."

"I'm not only the biggest, best, and handsomest, I'm the humblest, too!"

From the original(?) Swedish: "Jag är inte bara störst, bäst och vackrast, jag är ödmjukast också!"

(Non-standard use of "-est" superlative forms in English for consistency, effect, and fidelity.)

I'm humbler than you are. Sheesh.
I am extraordinarily-er humbler.
I'm the humblest of all!
Want to have a humble-off? Ok, you start first.
You clearly don't get the concept
Unsure if your own comment is sarcastic, but GP's quote is from Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy.
I like the quote in its use of sarcasm to emphasize a point.

I completely dislike that its apparent value also comes because it's a quote from a comedic character in a comedy film. I mean, that diminishes its value as sarcasm, and it becomes just a canned answer.

How appropriate, you fight like a cow
