There are so many but here's one.

The situation: Haney trying to sell Oliver souvenirs of the state capital, as Oliver has just decided to take a trip to see the governor. After refusing to buy any of Haney's junk, he explains he's just there for one night.

Haney tries to sell him on staying at the Glowney House. Oliver says, "Before I would consider staying at the Glowney House, I'd sleep in a pup tent."

Haney asks, "The missus goin' with you?" "Yes."


The line: Haney responds, as he pulls out a pup tent from his truck, "Then you'll need the two-man size."

It cracked me up that he not only had all sorts of junk souvenirs, but even the pup tent that Oliver just mentioned out of the blue.

There are so many:..Anytime Lisa butchers the language: PRNDeL,."shoosting", and when she explains "we have a bottle (of booze), but we only have it for Municipal porpises"

Speaking of booze, for some reason I crack up whenever Eb & the Monroes mention what a drunk Oliver is..

My personal favorite is when Fred & Arnold Ziffel are in a bank,and the bank manager asks Mr Ziffel if the account will be in his name;

Mr Ziffel: No it's for my boy, (gestures at Arnold)

Bank Mgr: He's a Pig!!

Arnold: sqeeeeeeeeeal!!!!!!

Mr. Ziffel: Aw calm down Arnold, like I been telling you, the world's full of prejudice!

Lisa explaining how the iron is a '7', and the washing machine is a '3' and the toaster is a '5' because they have to limit how much electricity they can use at one time so they don't burn out the wiring.

When the opening credits roll across the screen and Lisa reads them and says something like "What is an executive producer?" Oliver says "What?"

If a person with multiple personality s threatens to commit suicide, is that a hostage situation
