Terrible answers, which makes me assume you are trolling. You're including several of the all time worst answers. These answers make you seem like you're the problem.
Some better potential answers:
my learning curve has plateaued, so I'm ready for bigger challenges.
the regulatory environment has constrained ____, but this is the world we live in.
It's in ___ town. I have a bigger connection to the town this job is located in. (assuming you're applying in another city)
I prefer small company environments. (assuming you work in a large company)
I wish it was more entrepreneurial/structured (depending on your preference)
I would like it to be more client facing/analytical (depending on your preference)
You get the idea.
I normally just say no bad parts I only interned btw
Your first response might be a good answer.
I would think that my answers are much better than saying something to the effect of, "my boss is a moron." If I was trolling that is the answer I would chose.
getting emailed at 10:25pm asking why my EPS numbers are low vs. street
FML
That's because I wasn't trolling. What if I said I just want to work at a larger company.
i honestly think that the first answer is real awesome "my learning curve has plateaued, so I'm ready for bigger challenges" But if i was a tough interviewee, i would push back and ask why didnt you do something to change it within your job, for example, seek to increase your job portfolio or really excel and get promoted and increase job scope etc etc. What do you guys think about this?
try to come up with nuances that are very likely to be specific to the company, if its a small company, something like, my boss is a shareholder/brother of the CEO, so I can't progress. I like the company and enjoyed my time there but i need to grow.

Any answer without an explanation following it describing the answer is a bad answer no matter how "good" the initial answer is.
Not a good answer, you don't want to bash your old position.
