It goes something like this:

Bart: Grandpa, what's your first name?

Grandpa: Whenever I want to know that, I just check my underwear. It says call me Abraham.

Lisa: Grandpa, how did you take off your underwear without taking off your pants?


Grandpa: I don't know.

Best ep: Last Exit to Springfield

Best moment: The entirety of that great musical, "Stop the Planet of the Apes, I want to get off!"

Ape: Help, the human's about to escape.
Troy: Get your paws off me, you dirty ape.
Apes: [gasping] He can talk!
Apes: [in unison, rythmed]
He can talk
He can talk
He can talk
He can talk
He can talk
He can talk
Troy: [singing] I can siiiiiing!

[funky beat of "Rock Me Amadeus" starts playing]
Female Nurse Ape: Ooh, help me Dr. Zaius!
Apes: [in unison]
Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius
Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius
Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius
Oh... Dr. Zaius
Ape: Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius.

Troy: What's wrong with me?
Zaius: I think you're crazy.
Troy: Want a second opinion.
Zaius: You're also lazy.

Apes: [in unison]
Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius
Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius
Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius
[one ape starts breakdancing]
Oh... Dr. Zaius
Ape: Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius.
Troy: Can I play the piano anymore?
Zaius: Of course you can.
Troy: Well I couldn't before!
[plays piano]

Just a few off the top of my head.

"5 Dollars!? And it only transports matter!?" - Whiny Homer Simpson at Professor Frink's yard sale

Rioters burn the Christian Science Reading room, robot stumbles out of the flaming building: "Why!? Why was I programmed to feel PAIN!?!"

It's no fair picking favorites. There are so many fantastic lines.

Bart on the Road

My favorite episode!

Nelson: What is this place?
Bart: Branson, Missouri. My dad says it's like Vegas... if it were run by Ned Flanders


Nelson at the Andy Williams show..
(the look on his face)
Nelson: I didn't think he'd do "Moon River," but then -- bam! --
second encore!

Moments from other shows
1. Bart stealing the coin jar from Homer (Indiana Jones spoof).
2. The newspaper shot of Bart in the Gays Rights parade.
3. “Sun and Run” The sun tan location that’s also a laxative.

Homer becomes obese

"I don't want to look like a wierdo...I'll just go with the moo moo."
Homer exits store with moo moo, cape, and hat on.

The Cape Fear & The X Files episodes are absolutely hilarious

One of my fav exchanges from x-files ep:

Homer: See Marge, you don't see any 'Homer is a Dope' t-shirts do you?

Salesman: Ehhh, we ran out of those in 5 minutes.

Homer (to Marge who's wearing a 'Homer is a Dope' shirt): Marge, how could you?!

Marge: It's 100% cotton, and look at the fine stitching on 'Dope!'

Homer (to salesman): I'll take 2!

A second vote for the time-traveling toaster. Best part is Homer accidentally sitting on the primodial fish.

I also love the entire Sherry Bobbins episode, especially when she flies off into the sunset and gets sucked into a jet intake.

That is one funny moment.
I've never seen that but it's cracking me up now

My favorite moment is when Groundskeeper Willie does his rendition of Flashdance in the Sherry Bobbins ep. The first time I caught it I nearly died from laughter.

From the ep: Homer to the max. Where he changes his name to Max Power because it sounds cool.

Homer: Nobody snuggles with Max Power. You strap yourself in and feel the "G"s!

Marge: Oh, Lord.

Homer: And it doesn't stop in the bedroom. Oh, no. I'm taking charge! Kids, there's three ways to do things. The right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way!

Bart: Isn't that the wrong way?

Homer: Yeah, but faster!

Another is the ep "das bus" where homer starts his own internet company, then the comic guy calls him up because his captain janeway nude pics are d/l slow.

Homer: Welcome to the Internet, my friend, how can I help you?

Comic Book Guy: I'm interested in upgrading my 28.8 kilobaud Internet connection to a 1.5 megabit fiber optic T1 line. Will you be able to provide an IP router that's compatible with my token
ring ethernet LAN configuration?

Homer: [stares blankly for a few seconds] Can I have some money now?

"Lisa the Vegetarian"

When I tell people this, they look at me funny since most fans I know are not big on Lisa. But that episode has so many great lines and moments, from the Petting Zoo to Homer's BBBQ to the Troy McClure film.

Homer : Well, two against one....

So many ...

I can't pin down a favorite episode, but two moments that always stick in my mind are the Halloween zombie episode:

"Dad, you just shot zombie Flanders!"
"Flanders was a zombie?"

And the discovery of Mr. Burns bear:

"Apu, there's a head in this bag of ice."
"Oh ... a head bag ... full of heady goodness."

Those two quick moments always make me laugh and manage to work themselves into being quoted often.
