I know you are, you said you are, so what am I? 

Blatantly useless retort which younger primary school students use.

Playground Bully: Ha ha! Ernie's Crap!
Ernie: I know you are, you said you are, so what am I?
Playground Bully: I just said that you were crap, though!
Ernie: I know you are, you said you are, so what am I?

Objects in front of you are not as shiny as they appear 

A play on the warning text you see on car door mirrors.

This is for those people with ADHD who are easily distracted by shiny objects.

I use this at work for people who get caught up in drama instead of doing their job.

Hey, buddy, focus. Objects in front of you are not as shiny as they appear.

I know you are, but what am I? 

A retort with profound implications. Pee Wee's greatest contribution to youth culture.

Person A: You smell bad.

Person B: There's this thing about a small squirrel and how nobody loves you. Hi-ya! Now that's what I call a verbal bitch-slap.

Person A: I know you are, but what am I?

Person B: Haha what a complete fail of a a comeback. It's like, your face is all red, and you can't come up with a comeback.

Person A: It made no sense, but therein lies the point. The notion that one needs to respond with a rehearsed "comeback" is inane. Your squirrel-centric comeback was also inane; it failed to address your abhorrent smell, it seemed to mistake randomness for wit (really a squirrel?), and the mere fact that you would use it as an example of a verbal bitch-slap is laughable, as it lacks slap. It is quite slap-less. I respond to inanity with inanity.

Person B: Well, "your" still a faggot. And now I'm going to win this by blowing your mind with an ounce of inverse-Descartian drivel.

Person A: Nooooooooooooooo

I know you are, but what am I? 

An amateur insult comeback. It is often regarded as one of the worst possible insult comebacks, being criticized for its lack of creativity, low versatility, and manipulation of English grammar in the word "you."

The comeback was popularized by a scene from the 1985 film 'Pee-Wee's Big Adventure,' in which Pee-Wee Herman repeatedly says the comeback after being told a string of insults by someone else.

Mark: You should have let me copy your test answers in class today.
Jim: No, it's against the rules. Stop relying on me to bail you out all the time. You're such a blowhard sometimes...
Mark: Oh, yeah? Well, you're a coffee whore whose father is on crack!
Jim: I know you are, but what am I?
Mark: You're a loser who doesn't let me copy your test answers in class!
Jim: I know you are, but what am I?
Mark: -_- seriously dude

no you are 

when someone insults you and you cant think of a comeback you may say this, it could be followed by their insult repeated back
