Here’s one from an episode I saw last night:

Fry’s Dad:

But, if I’m hard on you, it’s only 'cause I want you to grow up strong and resilient. Someday, you may face adversities so preposterous, I can’t even conceive of them.

“Here stadium, where our women basketball teams play. We no can dunk, but good fundamentals. That more fun to watch.”

It’s the guys laughing that makes this line so good.

Also Zapp’s line "But as a gentleman, I must warn you, if you so much as glance at another woman, I’ll be on Leela like a fly on a pile of very seductive manure. " is great - it’s the way he says “manure”.

Guy: Let’s practice your execu-speak. “I’m worried about blank.”  
Fry: Don’t you worry about blank. Let me worry about blank.  
Guy: Good. I also would have accepted, “Blank? Blank? You’re not looking at the big picture!”

I’m partial to “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised” from the same episode.

Also, I will never get enough Zoidberg.  
“It’s good cholesterol, but it spreads like bad cholesterol!”  
“Ask her to mate with me?”  
“induce vomiting! that was the solution! _everywhere_ it went. oh, what a Valentines day that was!”

I also find myself saying “what an honor” in a bad Zoidberg voice sometimes.

“Sweet something… of someplace”

"For saving Earth, and foiling me, I proudly, yet angrily, present you with our new highest honor: the Polluting Medal of Pollution. "

“Our legends tell of a young ball like yourself who bounced 3 meters into the air. Then he bounced 1.8 meters. Then he bounced 4 meters. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?”
