“And then…” from _Dude, Where’s My Car?"_

“Well, spin my nipplenuts” from _Red Dwarf._

“Here I sit. Completely surrounded by NO BEER!” and “Seriously, do I look like the kind of bloke who’d come off on someone’s walls?” Both spoken by Onslow in _Keeping Up Appearances._

From the _Keeping Up Appearances_ episode where Onslow’s grandchild is christened,  
Onslow pulls up to the church in his wreck of a car and the following ensues:  
Vicar:" I see you still have the old boneshaker."  
Onslow(leering at his wife, Daisy):" And the car’s still goin’, too."

“I’ll have what she’s having.” from _When Harry Met Sally._

The best are from Arrested Development:  
Narrator: Tobias listens to a day’s worth of his own words, to see what Michael was referring to…  
Tobias Fünke: [on tape] … even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up.  
Tobias Fünke: Nothing wrong with that.  
Tobias Fünke: [on tape] Oh, I’ve been in the film business for a while, but I just can’t seem to get one in the can.  
Tobias Fünke: It’s out of context.  
Tobias Fünke: [on tape] I wouldn’t mind kissing that man between the cheeks.  
Narrator: …and he realized there is something distinct about the way he speaks.  
Tobias Fünke: Tobias, you blowhard.  
[chuckles]  
And…

Lucille: What’s a Forget-Me-Now?  
Gob: They’re pills that create a sort of temporary forgettingness. So if somebody finds out how you do a trick, you just give 'em one of these, and they forget the whole thing. It’s a mainstay of the magician’s toolkit, like how clowns always have a rag soaked in ether.  
Tobias Fünke: Gob, this is Flunitrazepam. It’s a roofie.  
Lucille: Those are illegal.  
Gob: Shut up, Mom. Don’t make me give you another one of these.

Steve Holt: I’ve made a huge mistake.  
Gob: I know the feeling. I had you. I’m your father, Steve Holt. I can’t hide from it any more.  
Steve Holt: I won’t forget this… Dad.  
Gob: [swallows roofie] I will. I will…  
STEVE HOLT!

This line from In Bruges had me laughing out loud for about 2 minutes, I missed some of the film:

Ken: [standing up to leave and picking up his coat] Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf. I think I’m heading home.

I now use it, much to my partner’s chagrin, as I leave any social occasion.

When the llama and Pacho are drifting down the river towards the waterfall, and the llama says, with that preposterous look of llama determination, “Bring it on,” well, that’s when I collapse laughing.
