I have seen just about all of the episodes multiple times. Not by choice. I ignore most but this quote gets me everytime:

You had to kill him. The boy cries you a sweater of tears… and you kill him.

Its all in the delivery.

I just picked up my wiggly little goofball 7-year-old son from school, which reminded me of our most-used Spongebob quote ever.

“Where’s the off button on this thing?!”

Which reminds me…

Twinkle, twinkle, Patrick Star,  
I made myself a sandwich!  
My mommy named it Fred.  
It tastes like beans and bacon,  
And smells like it’s been dead!

(And the rest of the song, but I can’t be bothered to transcribe the whole thing…except the final line, which always cracks me up.)

You win this round, Broccoli!

SpongeBob and Sandy running for their lives from the Alaska Bull Worm.

_Sandy:_ SpongeBob! Do you still have that piece of string and paper clip?

_SpongeBob:_ I’m way ahead of you, Sandy. (Turns string into a necklace and unbends the paper clip to form the letter S.) S for “SpongeBob.” S for “Sandy.” **This way they can identify our bodies!**

Squidward: That’s just a stupid boulder!

SpongeBob: It’s not just a boulder! (Sniff) It’s a rock! (Cries) A rock! A rock! It’s a big beautiful, old rock. (Climbs up it and rubs it) Oh, the pioneers used to ride these babies for miles, and it’s in great shape.

Squidward: SpongeBob, will you forget the stupid pioneers? Have you ever noticed that there are none of them left? That’s because they were lousy hitchhikers, ate coral, and took directions from algae! And now, you’re telling me they thought they could drive… (SpongeBob runs over Squidward with the boulder) …rocks. Hold on there, Jethro.

I also do a mean impression of Karen, The Computer Wife.

The single greatest line from that movie.

I’ll never forget going to see that in theaters and once that line was said I started cracking up…and I was the only one in the WHOLE THEATER that was laughing.

I mean come on! They did a preposition joke! A preposition joke!!!
