Edited for TV lines, that are better/funnier than the original?
To you, what are some edited for TV lines, that are funnier/better than the original line? I'm not just talking about unintentionally funny lines, I'm talking about edited for TV lines, that you generally feel are truly better/funnier.
Two that I can think of right now are:
National Lampoon's Vacation: "Fuck your momma" becomes "Who do I look like, Christopher Columbo.?"
The Wizard: "I'm gonna sue your ass when this is over" becomes "I'm gonna sue you all when this is over"
For some reason, Putnam saying he's gonna sue "everybody" is a little funnier to me, than just talking about Beau Bridges.

During Walter's car-smashing rampage in The Big Lebowski, the infamous lines "This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!" and "Do you see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass?" are substituted for "when you find a stranger in the Alps" and "when you fix a stranger scrambled eggs".

"Fuck you."
"Fuck. You."
"Drop dead."

I wonder if the censors make some lines really bad on purpose, like with using totally different voices, for ridiculous lines, to make themselves and the audience laugh.

Mallrats:
T.S. Quint: Jesus, how much did you smoke?
Jay: All it took was a phat, chronic blunt. These guys were lightweights.
T.S. Quint: Jesus, how much did you smoke?
Jay: All it took was a phat, karate punch. These guys were lightweights.
Also, in the scene where Quint and Hamilton are waiting outside the elevator containing Brodie and Rene having at it:
Hamilton: I thought you said she was going up.
Quint: Maybe she was going down.
Hamilton: I thought you said she was going up.
Quint: Maybe she was going up.
That's just brilliant.

in pulp fiction, after marvin gets shot in the face, the screen cuts to black with another actor saying the line "oh man I shot marvin in the face" made me laugh. Also in the next scene on the tv version was the Jimmie scene. "It aint the coffee jules, its the dead n***er in my garage (that must have slipped the censors) Don't you realize that if bonnie comes home and finds a dead body in the house I'm gonna get divorce, I'm going to get damn divorced and I don't want to get damn divorced"

Also in Mallrats, most if not all of Jay's lines are done by a different actor (because of the drug and or lanugage.

Back in the pre-DVD days they'd show Blazing Saddles on tv and insert a horse whinny over the swear words. I thought it was funnier than the actual words.

That Blazing Saddles one is actually kind of in line with something that Mel Brooks might do.
This one, by far, wins as the most bizarre and surreal edit, especially given the context of the scene.

I remember on one of the TV versions of BTTF, Biff calls Marty a "Bitch", without the "son of a". Now that's pretty funny.
Also, this isn't a line I like better, but it's pretty funny, I thought I'd mention it. In Jaws 3, a guy offscreen says "Boy is he gonna be pissed". That is changed to an old sounding man saying "Boy is he going to be peed." I don't know if that TV version of Jaws 3 is still around. I remember it from a long, long time ago.

I guess I'll add some new material then. One of the worst dubs ever:
