What do you consider to be the funniest / silliest thing ever said in a movie, animated, anime or otherwise? I'm talking about dialogue, exchanges and one-liners. Any quote that makes you laught or smile. This includes TV-shows.
Could you please, for the fun of it, quote them and cite their origin.
Here's one of my favourites:
Sir Sir Furrows: Ah, do sit down mister Luxury Yacht.
Luxury Yacht: Oh no, it's spelled "Luxury Yacht" but it's pronounced "Throat-Warbler Mangrove".
-Monty Python's Flying Circus
Okay, that was just outright sillyness
What's yours?

This is from an episode of "The Simpsons". Marge decides it's high time that Homer, Bart, and Lisa help with the house chores because it's a veritable pig-stye.
Marge blocks the way out of the kitchen, then Bart says, "Uh, Mom... You're kinda in the way."
Homer replies, "Push her down, son!"
:thumb: I STILL laugh whenever I think about that... That and an early episode of The Simpsons when they go in for the electric-shock therapy. That's just classic - I laughed so hard I had tears streaming down my face.

I have a few, although not all of them are exact quotes:
1.Rurouni Kenshin: "He moves at beyond godlike speed!"
Come on...what the heck is "beyond godlike speed?!" This may be a translation error (I wouldn't know), but it's still pretty ridiculous, especially for a popular series.
2.There's so many from The Simpsons, but my all-time favorite is the "Ammendment Song." If you haven't heard it, go here:

I will think of more later...

Hmmm. Isn't that the episode where Bart wins the elephant? That was a good episode as opposed to the more recent ones. At one part in that episode Homer drives over a statue of a deer.
Homer: D'oh!
Lisa: A Deer!
Marge: A female deer!

Nah, I only find the newest episodes to be dumb and pretentious attempts at satire, but the old ones (like this one which I remember) are great! Hilarious...but very dark humor.
As for the 'beyond godlike speed' you get a lot of silly lines. There's nothing funnier than bad writing (or bad translations for that matter). Here's a bad piece of writing from a really bad movie called "Che!" from 1969. It's about revolutionary Che Guerva...with Jack Pallance as Fidel Castro!!!
[Che is falling behind on a march]
Fidel Castro: Stragglers are sure to die, don't you know that?
Che Guevara: I'm not a straggler, I'm your rear guard.
Fidel Castro: No you're not, you're the company doctor. See what you can do for the men with blistered feet. You've got ten minutes.
Che Guevara: (noticing enemy planes flying overhead) It's too late for chiropody. The buzzards are already circling.

There are some pretty scary lines in the dub of DBZ, including....
Tenshinhan(Upon losing his arm): "You just wait until it grows back!"
Alright, we'll do that.
Piccolo: "You see my friend, we knew you were coming. So we lined up all our ducks in a row."
#20: "What? Ducks? That makes no sense."
I have the same feelings, #20.
...and some very interesting lines spoken by Furiza that made me....wonder.....to say the least...about their script writer choices.

Actually, that is a fairly common figure of speech.

I HATE it when that happens! Maybe you can find the quote on "Internet Movie Database" under the Quotes section of "The Emporer's New Groove" so you can just copy and paste it. That's what I'd do.

It is? Really? I've never come across it before. What an odd expression...

It's Business Speech, otherwise known as "BS" and many people consider it very annoying. In fact, TechTV featured a BS filter for Microsoft Word... And, before you say it, yes I'm perfectly aware of the double entendre, but that's really what they called it, and I'm pretty sure it was entirely intentional.

Here are some interesting and funny quotes from "O Brother where Art Thou?"
Pete: You stole from my kin!
Ulysses Everett McGill: Who was fixin' to betray us.
Pete: You didn't know that at the time.
Ulysses Everett McGill: So I borrowed it until I did know.
Pete: That don't make no sense!
Ulysses Everett McGill: Pete, it's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.
-------
Talking about the Blind Prophet who knew about the treasure
Ulysses Everett McGill: The treasure is still there boys, believe me.
Delmar O'Donnell: But how'd he know about the treasure?
Ulysses Everett McGill: I don't know Delmar. The blind are reputed to possess sensitivities compensating for their lack of sight, even to the point of developing paranormal psychic powers. Now, clearly seeing into the future would fall into neatly into that category; its not so surprising then that an organism deprived of its earthly vision...
Pete: He said we wouldn't get get it. He said we wouldn't get the treasure we seek on account of our obb-stackles. (obstacles)
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well what on earth does he know, he's just an ignorant old man?

I was going to quote some lines from "The Cutting Edge" but after re-reading them, it ended up being one of those " ... heh, heh ... guess you had to be there" sort of things.

It may be a common figure of speech, but does it make sense coming from an alien?

Happy Gilmore:
Virginia: What's this about you breaking a rake and throwing it in the woods?
Happy: I didn't *break* it, I was merely testing its durability, and I *placed* it in the woods cause it's made of wood and I wanted it to be near its family.
Shooter McGavin: Stay out of my way, or you'll pay. Listen to what I say.
Happy Gilmore: Yeah, why don't I go eat some hay. I can make things out of clay, or lay by the bay, I just may. Whaddya say?
Haha, that last one made me laugh really hard.

Will and Mr. Gibbs discussing the fact that Jack was once marrooned on an island and left with nothing but a pistol with one shot in it.
Will: "What did Jack do?"
Gibbs: "Well, I'll tell you what he does. Jack wades out into the water. Day and night, he stood there until all manner of sea life came swimming into his presences. Now, on the third day, Jack ropes a couple of sea turtles, lashes them together and made a raft."
Will: ". . . He roped a couple of sea turtles?" Gibbs nods as Will adds "What did he use for rope?"
Jack walks up
Jack: "Human hair--- from my back."
That's one of the best exchanges in Pirates of the Caribbean-- quite possibly one of my favorite movies of earth!!!!!!!!!
