From Kamp Krusty:

I’ve been scorched by Krusty before. I got a rapid heartbeat from his Krusty Brand vitamins, my Krusty Kalculator didn’t have a 7 or an 8, and Krusty’s autobiography was self-serving with many glaring omissions. But this time, he’s gone too far!

Wow, it’s hard to stop! Last one from me, I hope:

Homer: _You know, when this all ends horribly, it’s gonna be pretty hard not to say “I told you so.”_

Homer, there’s a man here who thinks he can help you.  
Batman?  
No, he’s a scientist.

Otto getting evicted by his landlord:

Otto: When can I get my stuff?  
Landlord: Stuff? All I found were a bunch of dirty books and a bottle of mustard.  
Otto: (With shocked look) I had mustard?

(Homer, interviewing to teach a class.)

Interviewer: So, do you have any special skills?

Homer: I can tell the difference between butter and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.

Interviewer: No you can’t. No one can.

The whole evil Krusty doll sketch might be the tightest 5 minutes they’ve ever made. The cursed objects/frogurt shop, “I’d say that the pressure’s finally gotten to Dad, but… what pressure?”, the “everybody loves a clown” hold music, the reversal of horror as the Krusty doll lives a tormented existence catering to Homer.

Someday, a fire’s going to start near me, and I will immediately think:

When a fire starts to burn  
There’s a less you must learn  
Something something then you’ll see  
You’ll avoid catastrophe!
