My favorite Troy McClure moments are when he doesn’t speak at all: Billy: “Mr McClure, what does DNA stand for?” Troy: ::looks at camera, then the film flashes “The End”:: Or, when the 138th episode special cuts back to him after he watches the very first Simpsons episode, and he has that look on his face like it was terrible, before doing the canned laughter. ---

Selma: “You’re telling me you’re gay.” Troy: “I wish.” Parker: I can get you in a film with Rob Lowe and Hugh Grant." Troy: “Those sickos?” My all time favorite: “But for that ending to work, you’d have to ignore all the Simpson DNA evidence. And that would be downright nutty.” If I had been swallowing at that moment, I would have chocked to death. ---
