Heck, if it’s SMART you want, you can’t beat Professor Frink:
At “Itchy & Scratchy Land” :
Frink: You’ve got to listen to me! Elementary chaos theory tells us that all robots will eventually turn against their masters and run amok in an orgy of blood and the kicking and the biting with the metal teeth and the hurting and shoving.
Scientist: How much time do we have, professor?
Frink: Well, according to my calculations, the robots won’t go berserk for at least 24 hours.
(The robots go berserk.)
Frink: Oh, I forgot to, er, carry the one.

As a substitute teacher at the elementary school, demonstrating a “corn popper” toy for the kindergarden students:
Frink: Mwa-hey, bwa-hai. The compression and expansion of the longitudinal waves cause the erratic oscillation, you can see it there, of the neighbouring particles.
(A little girl attracts Professor Frink’s attention.)
Frink: Yes, what is it, what, what is it?
Little Girl: Can I play with it?
Frink: No, you can’t play with it, you won’t enjoy it on as many levels as I do… Mm-hai bw-ha whoa-hoa. The colours, children! Mwa-ha-lee.

After Homer disappears into the wall:
Lisa: Well, where’s my Dad?
Frink: Well, it should be obvious to even the most dim-witted individual who holds an advanced degree in hyperbolic topology, ng-bwui, that Homer Simpson has stumbled into…
(The lights go off.)
Frink: …the third dimension.
(Lisa turns the lights back on.)
Lisa: Sorry.
Frink: (drawing on blackboard) Here is an ordinary square…
Wiggum: Whoa, whoa. Slow down, egghead!
Frink: …but suppose we extend the square beyond the two dimensions of our universe along the hypothetical Z axis, there.
(Frink draws a wireframe cube on the blackboard.)
Everyone: (Gasps).
Frink: This forms a three-dimensional object known as a “cube”, or a “Frinkahedron” in honor of its discoverer, ngu-hey, ng-hey.

On the future of computers, as it stood in 1970 or so:
Frink: I predict that within 100 years, computers will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them.

At his yard sale:
Frink: Good morning, ma’am, good afternoon sir. It passed noon while I was speaking so that was technically accurate.

Homer asks the Professor for advice on inventing:
Frink: …and these (handing books to Homer) should give you the grounding you’ll need in thermodynamics, hypermathematics and of course microcalifragalistics.
Homer: Er, look, I just want to know how to invent things.
Frink: All you have to do is think of things which people need but which don’t exist yet.
Homer: You mean like an electric blanket-mobile?
Frink: Www… oh well, possibly. Or you could take something that already exists and find a new use for it, like…
Homer: Hamburger earmuffs.
Frink: Mmm, well, I suppose that would qualify.
Homer: Thanks sucker. (Homer throws the books and runs off)
Frink: Weh, uh, alright, just stay calm, Frinky. (examines his own pair of hamburger earmuffs) These babies will be in the stores while he’s still grappling with the pickle matrix bhay-gn-flay-vn.

On the banks of Loch Ness:
Frink: Mmm-hai-hey, let’s see now, we have the Monsterometer, Flipper-finder, Hoax-a-scope which is important for the looking and finding…

With his fellow MENSA members:
Frink: Zounds, someone took our gazebo!
