All of mine come from Ralph Wiggum: “He’s gonna smell like hot dogs.” “Sleep! that’s where I’m a viking!” “Tastes like…burning.” And, my all-time fave… “I sleep in a drawer.” ---

I may not have this verbatim… Shelbyville Kid: We’ll put up a sign that says “Springfield Sucks”. That way, when they see the sign, they’ll realize…they suck! ---

In the Prisoner parody, Bart’s reading mags at Apu’s store and hears noises. He discovers Apu bound and gagged and mmphing furiously with his eyes blazing. Bart takes Apu’s gag off and Apu immediately cries, “Young man, what are you doing reading those, do you think this is a library?” In the Chief Wiggum Private Eye spinoff, Skinny Boy tells Wiggum after he was attacked by an alligator that was spirited into his bedroom: “That was a warning gator. See, his teeth are corked.” Mrs. Krabapple (watching a school sex ed film): “She’s faking it.” ---

A few from Homer’s “find a soulmate” episode: Moe: “I’m more of a well-wisher, in that I don’t wish you any particular harm.” Earlier, as Homer eats the Guatemalen insanity peppers: Dr Hibbard: “By all medical logic smoke should be coming from his ears.” Krusty: “His ears if we’re LUCKY!” ---

I don’t recall the exact quote, and I can’t recall the character’s name (he’s the hick in the shack with dozens of childrens). He was caught in the outhouse when a fountain of garbage burst through. This was the episode where Homer attempts to hide the growing pile of garbage underneath Springfield. His plan is foiled when the garbage starts to erupt from the ground. “Mah stankbone broke!” I know. Not really funny out of context, but my friend and I sometimes quote it to make each other laugh. ---

Brandine: Cletus, you know I gots to wear the shirt what Dairy Queen give me. And, one of my favroites: “Vote Quimby!” I love it because it’s so randomly placed. For example, after Quimby and his date mistakenly open the door to Marge’s hotel room (after she leaves Homer because he kept the gun). ---

From the “angel” episode: ``` Mr. Burns: "Smithers, use the amnesia ray!" Smithers: "You mean the revolver, sir?" ``` Apu, from the episode where he was dating: ``` "All Kwik-E-Mart managers are required to be skilled in the deadly arts." ``` Mr. Burns, from the “who killed Burns?” episode: ``` "I still have one enemy remaining... an enemy who continues to mock me by providing FREE light, heat, and energy... I call this enemy: the sun!" "Since the dawn of time, Smithers, mankind has dreamed of destroying the sun!" ``` Hank Scorpio, from the “Goldfinger” parody: ``` "Homer, if you want to kill somebody on your way out, it'd help me a lot!" ``` ---

Mr. Burns on raft back to Florida: “If it’s a crime to love your country, well, I’m guilty of that.
