In [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=350907) **Sampiro** expresses the opinion that “You can call us Aaron Burr for the way we’re droppin’ Hamiltons” is the funniest line of the year (from an SNL skit). I think this from My Name is Earl is the tops: Feliz Nabliba! That’s how Americans say Merry Christmas in Mexican! What are your nominations for the funniest lines of the year? ---

Also from My Name is Earl: Jamie Pressley tell this to a cop responding to a complaint from her Asian neighbor. “I don’t know what language she’s speaking, whether it’s Chinese, Japanese, or Chuckie Cheese, but SHE’S LYIN’!” ---

Finding Sarah Silverman funny makes me ashamed of myself. So is laughing my ass off at the Harold and Kumar. . . sound man doc. But Wolf Blitzer, now that’s comedy gold. ---

I think the most unintentionally funny line of the year would be the neswpaper photo of white people carrying stuff through New Orleans floodwaters, captioned that they “found” stuff, while a photo of black people doing the EXACT same thing was captioned as “looting.” Now THAT’S comedy gold! ---

_The Ringer_ commercial: “I can count to potato” I started laughing at dinner about this and my wife asked me “what the hell is so funny about it?”. Sadly, I have no idea. ---

Snopes wrote an article on that [here](http://www.snopes.com/katrina/photos/looters.asp) . Regardless of whether the choice of words fed prejudice, I don’t think it was fed by prejudice. ---

I think it was this year, it was Chris Rock doing a routine about Nelson Mandela being locked up and tortured for 25 years, then getting released and only making it thru 8 months with Winnie. Maybe you had to be there. ---

My _My Name is Earl_ nomination: Earl is teaching foreigners how to speak English. This is a paraphrase… Earl: Now, who can tell me how to get to Earl’s house? Earl narrating: Looking back, asking them to watch TV as a homework assignment may have been a bad idea. Student: Erections lasting for more than four hours, though rare, require medical attention! Earl narrating: Then I think he swore at me in his native language. Student: Seacrest out! ---

Regardless of whether the choice of words fed prejudice, I don’t think it was fed by prejudice. So the people involved came out with a lovely string of bullshit when they were called on it instead of saying, “Yeah, it was racism.” Amazing. Simply amazing. And I am supposed to believe it simply because you do. That would be amazing, too. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/funniest-lines-of-the-year/336974.md?page=2)
