Monty Python has, for the most part, survived being quoted to death by nerds. Sure, you can have too much of it, but it truly was brilliant.
Ripping Yarns (“Call me School Bully, you silly little headmaster”)
Police Squad / Naked Gun
Fawlty Towers (the Hitler impersonation, beating his car with a branch and calling it a vicious bastard, the moose practicing English, the Major reminiscing about taking the girl to India,and of course, “Spoons, eh? sthpppppppooooons!”…)
Pink Panther movies
“The Party”
The Simpsons
South Park
The original Police Academy movie
The second Police Academy movie, but only because of Bobcat Goldthwait
Black Adder
Get Smart
“What are you doing?” “I am scaring away the elephants.”
For me it is the late Victor Borge.
Most especially his verbal punctuation and inflationary language routines.
They bring me to tears every time.
Pure comic genius!
Marx Brothers.
" We’re past tense now, we’re in bungalows."
“Viaduct? I dunno, why not a goose?”
“What ever it is, I’m against it!”
Monty Python
Mo Rocca & Jon Stewart & Lewis Black
Steve Martin
His Girl Friday
Pirate!
Letterman, Leno and Conan
Fraiser
The dopers who wrote, " An Open Letter to My Pet." & " I stood next to the emperor of the world at McDonalds." and the immortal, " The Horror of Blimps." Nearly pee my pants every time I read it.
The Onion thread to 9-11. Farking brilliant, people.
Yesterday a colleague and I were discussing the loads on a space launch vehicle, and an Air Force officer, possibly a captain, passing by says, “Huh huh, you said load”
That was such a great band. When I saw them on the Soul Rotation tour at IUP, Rodney (I think) stopped the band , pulled out his flute and said “Let ME bring you songs from the wood”, and proceeded to play a Jethro Tull riff. What made it even better was that, since 99% of the audience were college and high school kids and a good ten years younger than me, they most likely didn’t get the joke.
They still maintain and update their website. there’s tons of good stuff there, check it out.
On SDMB it’s the OP in that thread My Anger Burns with the Heat of Million Suns (or something like that). The whole thing is so damn funny, like how he’s mad at the snack machine guy for making him eat the junk food. BUT there is nothing funnier than when he confesses that, until he was 24, he thought Jerry Lewis and Jerry Lee Lewis were the same guy. I’m laughing right now thinking of “Goodness gracious great balls of heyyyyy layyyyyyddddddddddy.!”

Airplane, in particular, June Cleaver speaking jive.
Another vote for The Life of Brian. The scene when the centurions try to hold in their laughter in the “I have a fwiend in Wome called Biggus Dickus” part. “… He has a wife, you know …”
That commercial they had for the Comedy Network in the UK, footage of a snooker match where everyone is dead quiet, and a cell phone rings, and the guy fucks up his shot, and it cuts to another guy watching it on TV, phone in hand, laughing his arse off. … I guess you had to have been there.
Two eggs in a frying pan.
