Don't feel bad, you're not alone.

I probably use Simpsons quotes more than I should. "How about that local sports team" and "I'm so hungry I could eat at Arby's" are favorites of mine, along with a number that have been mentioned already. Of course, "D'oh" has also been my go to whenever I mess up or otherwise do something stupid.

I absolutely refuse to use "I for one welcome our new _____ overlords" and "worst _____ ever" though. Those are used way too frequently, especially on the internet.

I prefer using quotes that aren't particularly recognizable as being from the Simpsons, so any reference to characters, or really specific ones are out.

I use "Oh Piece of Candy" from Family Guy all the time.

I call my 16-year-old sister-in-law "Maggaggie" all the time, too. :)

Great stuff indeed. I always, and I mean virtually daily use the following:

Ralph: That's my swingset, and that's my sandbox. I'm not allowed to go in the deep end. And this is where I met the leprechaun.
Bart: Right, the leprechaun.
Ralph: He told me to burn things.

That is probably my favorite, although I do like the one where Mr. Burns goes shopping at the grocery store and see's Krusty picking up his brand of cereal and Mr. Burns asks something along the line of "Where's the Burns-O's?" Then he picks up the Count Chocula, great stuff. I'll have to find out what the exact quote was.

I can't remember the last time I uttered the word "saxophone" instead of "saxomophone".

Anytime I eat lamb, I always think of the grifting episode when Grandpa makes his escape on a powered wheelchair while proclaiming, "Call me mint jelly... cause I'm on the lam!"

<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/myworldisstatic/3f03l.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

"Why does it talk like a lamb?"

Joe Friday: Freeze! FBI! The jig is up.
Abe Simpson: All right, I admit it! I am the Lindbergh baby! Wah! Wah! Goo-goo! I miss my fly-fly dada.
Joe Friday: Are you trying to stall us? Or are you just senile?
Abe Simpson: A little from column A and a little from column B.

The a little from column A and A little from column B quote is one of my favorites when asked an "or" question.

I also use that one a lot.

"That's a shame"

All my fantasy teams since the mid 90's have been named the Springfield Isotopes or Atoms.

I call the Mets the Nie Mets.

On occasion whenever I play with my kids and it involves a ball I ask them "perhaps you'd like to bounce it?"

I probably use "Man alive! there are men alive in here" a couple of times a week as an exclamation. Half the time I don't even realize I'm saying it.

Another common one whenever someone asks what is wrong with someone else, my reply is usually "probably misses his old glasses"

I attempt to make a reference to the Hammock District when giving directions. It usually just creates confusion.

Whenever someone fast-forwards through the commercials or gets up to do something else on a commercial break I say "If we don't watch the commercials it's like we're stealing TV."

I also use the "I am so smart" one every once in a while too.

Other than stuff already mentioned, my most quoted line is probably

"Yah, syrup is better than jelly"

Every time I see a doughnut I pick it up and say "Mmmm... Forbidden Donut!".

Whenever I have pork chops for dinner:

"Hello, cook?
Sorry to bother you so late, but I got a hankering for some...
That's right. Don't forget the applesauce!"

I don't remember the exact quote or episode but...

Unknown: Of course there's always the moral issue.

Homer: The moral whatitz?
