I remember going to a club with a dear friend of mine a few years ago, and we had both got these shots that were in glow-in-the-dark shot glasses. I took mine first, and as he was taking his, I said over the music “It tastes like Burning”.

Needless to say, the shot nearly made it out my friends nose.

Ah Ralph, I choo-choo-choose you as having some of the most precious repeatable lines.

ps – Good old Rock was constantly brought up in my former social circle…darn Camarilla…..

“The Canine Mutiny” (where Bart gets Laddie through a mail-order catalog): When the credit card rep harasses Bart, asking him to consider his “dreams of home ownership, boat ownership and event attendance!”

Wait lol I thought of some more that we quote sometimes. It takes 2 people to do these. You can pick your own situations where they should be used:

Ralph : “My button tastes funny”. Focus group guy: “Please refrain from eating the buttons.

The guy that makes Itchy and Scratcy Cartoons to Bart and Lisa: “You just saved Itchy & Scratchy!”. Lawyer (in fast low voice): “Please sign here indicating that you did not save Itchy & Scratchy”

Wow there are thousands I quote all the time but here are some I can remember:

1) “I call the big one bitey”. From the Monorail episode. My son and I use this all the time but sometimes change it to a much stupider but almost as funny form of “I call the _x_ one _x_’ie”. For example: “I call the small one smallie”.

2) One I use on my son A LOT is : “..remember the advice my dad gave me on my wedding day: ‘Son, if you ever travel back in time, make sure you don’t step on anything because even the tiniest change can alter the future…’”. This is from Treehouse of Horror V. This is good to tell someone whenever they need advice about something complicated.

3) When looking at the ceiling – “Mmmmmm…. Sacrilicous”. From the one where Homer got religion and was praying to a waffle that was stuck on the ceiling

4) “Someone check the men’s room for a Hugh Jass”. This is from a crank call Bart did in one of the 1st few seasons. This fake name is good to use in data entry or contest forms.

5) “No, they wanted somebody good!”. Homer said this to Marge in an early episode when she asked if he had gotten a job. You should sadly say this whenever somebody asks you if you were picked for something.

6) “Yeah, that sounds like something you would say”. This is the answer Bart gave Homer when asked “Didn’t I tell you to watch Maggie”. There is no end to situations when this quote is good to use after somebody asked you whether they told you to do something.

I don’t even watch _The Simpsons_ and have used the “Good ol’ rock” one before.

Also, from Treehouse of Horror VI, section “Homer^3″:
(while looking at a pond full of fish):
“Mmmm… unprocessed fish sticks…”

My bf is notorious for saying, “You are what the French call a Dorkus Malorkus.” I of course can’t resist responding with, “That’s not even French!”

Wait, did you call Dickens “high culture?”

Anyway, I’m a big fan of Ralph-isms in general, and use the old standby “that’s where I’m a viking!” with some regularity. I also often find ways to work references to Jeebus into conversation. I’m sure there are others that aren’t coming to me just now.

Here are four that I use on a regular basis:

1) “Your views are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.”

Context: Homer to Bart, after latter’s negative comments on teamwork, sharing, and tolerance.

Usage: Response to a vitriolic rant, often facetious. (S’pose the OTI staff could get some serious mileage out of this one, if they haven’t already.)

2) “I heartily endorse this event or product.”

Context: Krusty The Clown, boilerplate video endorsement, clearly a cold-read.

Usage: Similar to #1

3) “No food, no shelter, no monkey butlers…”

Context: Bart, griping that life on a deserted island is not living up to his fantasy.

Usage: Any listing of complaints and disappointments surely must include “no monkey butlers” for maximum impact.

4) “I’m losing my perspicacity!”

Context: Lisa, panicked upon realizing that she can only think of two synonym’s to a verb.

Usage: I find that it works for any mental lapse, linguistic or otherwise.

..and I’m sure there are dozens more.
