<nitpick>
"I know that I’m a sinner…
But I really need… a winner…
Or the orphanage will cloooose… " (combined with overdramatic hand-closing)
“So God if you’re above…
and it’s orphans that you love…
Please help the porcupine I chose.”

And then Tom Lennon comes in to close it out…

“I’m the slowest porcupine in town
But knowin’ that… don’t get me down
it’s just that they don’t see
So when they blow that whistle,
I will move my little bristles
‘cause there’s nothin’ [pause] stoppin’ [pause] me!
At the porcupine!
Porc-U-Pine!
Racetrack!
Racetrack!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

</nitpick> Wow, I didn’t even realize I was doing the whole thing there, I just couldn’t stop myself!

How could I forget? I am fragments.

“It’s time.”
“Aww yeah, it’s that time.”
“Aww, you know it’s that time.”
“I’m Levon.”
“And I’m Barry. Sagittarius.”
“And it’s time.”
“And it’s time for two hundred…”
“… and forty dollars…”
“…worth of puddin’.”
“Aww yeah.”
“Aww yeah.”

Awww yeah. I cook…and then I chill.

I loved the sketch in which Lois Lane discovers what Clark Kent is up to whenever Superman appears in Metropolis…

“We are little biddie CAREFREE girls!” (or something like that…)

And the State was the first group ever to mock Aquaman’s rather…ahem…“limited” superpowers.

See, I would’ve contributed sooner, but this is my favorite moment, and the OP mentioned it straight off.
