[QUOTE=Reloy3]  
And then later from the same episode (IIRC):

Mayor: Who are you people?  
Crowd \<singing\> “We’re a big mean angry mob”  
[/QUOTE]

I think it’s “We’re a big, unruly mob!”

Hey look, everyone! It’s the Grim Recycler!

From Fairly Oddparents:

When Wanda turns Timmy invisible

Timmy: Cool! I’m transparent!  
Wanda: You’re a ten year old boy sweetie. You never were that hard to figure out.

From _Rugrats_, Angelica wants to scare the babies, so she pretends to be a headless ghost by putting a large shirt over her head.

Angelica: Ooooooh, I am the headless ghost!

Tommy: If you don’t have a head, how come you can talk?

Good question.

[QUOTE=Meeko]

Planton: Hey Spongebob, there is that guy who stole your ice cream! Go confront him. Assert yourself!!

Spongebob: [sticks his finger in 'that guy’s pocket] Beep Beep!

Plankton: “Not Insertive, ASSERTIVE!”  
I know its not that great a quote, but the ‘beep beep’ part just sells the entire packge.

[/QUOTE]

Heee! Even reading that makes me laugh. It’s the timid delivery of the “beep, beep!” that makes it so funny.

Also from Spongebob: “You have to use your imaaaaaaagination!” Watch that episode and just try to ever say that phrase without doing the hand motions.

Patrick (running around in complete panic): I CAN’T SEE MY FOREHEAD!

And this classic conversation between Spongebob and Patrick:

Patrick: Lets get naked.

Spongebob: No, lets save that for when we`re selling real estate.

I don’t remember from which episode but my favourite Spongebob quote is:

Spongebob: Are you ready to go crazy?

Patrick Starfirsh: I’m already hearing voices!

😃 I never get tired of that one.

On Jimmy Neutron, I only just noticed lately that Sheen’s last name is Estevez! Too funny.

I must say here that I love the entire Yugopotamians thing from Fairly Oddparents. The father sounds just like Ted Knight.

I also love Plankton unreasonably. The episode where he switches bodies with Mr. Krabs (I think it is) he wails, “But I went to college!” I also love when his computer says he’s 1% evil, 99% hot air.

More from **Invader Zim** :

“‘Moosey Fate!’, say ‘Moosey Fate!’”

“Can’t you see this woman is suffering from severe poke-y trauma!?”

“Not now son, I’m making … TOAST!”

“It got chicken legs!”

“You’re very small, Zim. You’re a tiny … thing … .”

How could I have forgotten one of my favorite _Invader Zim_ lines ever? Sadly, I’m paraphrasing.

“It all started in 1962…scientists at NASA had developed a new type of _ **SPACE MEAT** _ for use on expeditions into _ **DEEP SPACE** _. Only recently has their hard work paid off, as new innovations in the world of meat have been created under what has been dubbed Operation _ **MEAT** _. Tired of being sued by angry customers poisoned by their burgers, the MacMeaties’ Corportation has decided to utilized this miraculous _ **SPACE MEAT** _.  
Not having access to this technology, we make ours out of napkins.”

“Comming up next, Championship boxing!”  
Squidward: “Well thats ok, I mean its not about real boxes…”  
[Boxes start to spar in a boxing ring]

I forget who says it, but Bob and Pat are being held on the Flying Dutchman’s ship, discussing an escape plan:

“The only way out, is through the PURFUME DEPARTMENT!”  
Squidward [on protesting that the Krusty Krab is open 24 hours] "This is rediculous… who wants to eat a Krabby Patty at 3 AM? " [Flash to: Patrick wakes up in his bed, and eats a krabby patty].

Squidward: “What’s next, you want me to sqaure dance with patrick?”  
SBob: “Sorry Patrick”.

Announcer at “Mideval Moments”:  
“Your just twenty wizard’s paces away from Knighthood, Chivalry, and bad hygene!”

Ren had some epic diatribes in “Ren and Stimpy,” but the one from [“Stimpy’s Fan Club”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LFNNEU64IQ&mode=related&search=) is the rant to end all rants. My favorite line:  
“… how easily I could … end the farce …”

**Ren and Stimpy** :

Stimpy: [praying] And please bless Grandma and Grandpa…  
Ren: And please give me a million dollars, and a fridge with a padlock and, oh yeah, huge pectoral muscles.  
Ren: Yeah, you’re scared, huh? Next, I’m gonna tear your arms out of the sockets. And you wanna know what else? I’m gonna hit ya, and you’re gonna fall, and I’m gonna look down, and I’m gonna laugh. But first, FIRST! I gotta take a whiz, don’t you go anywhere, you stay right here, right on this spot, I’ll be back.  
**Rugrats** :

“Hey look!  
There’s kids!  
On the ice!  
What’s a dinosaur to do  
When there’s kids on the ice!  
Someone better call their moms!” - Reptar (on Ice)

From _CatDog_, what may be the most obscure joke in a Nicktoon:

“I like those old Ingmar Bergman and Charlie McCarthy movies where the Devil is a little puppet.”
