Funniest lines from a sitcom

Could do with a laugh at the moment, so I'm wondering what are people's favourite funny lines from a sitcom or film? Mine is from Victoria Wood's Dinnerladies : "Tony Blair. Stick two poems up in a bus shelter and call it a university! ". Cracks me up every time

"I will NOT be filmed emerging from the back of a camper van!"

"I hear you're a racist now Father. How did you get interested in that type of thing? Should we all be racist now? What's the official line the church is taking?"

”Terri, when I want your advice, I’ll give you the special signal. Which is me being sectioned under the Mental Health Act.”

Love the part on vicar of Finley where she turns pages of the bible and there’s a bar of chocolate cut into it 😂

Rachel: I'm sorry I was a baby
Phoebe: Don't be sorry we were all babies once.

Father Ted was hilarious. Such a pity Graham Linehan isn't writing comedy for TV any more he's brilliant and it's a real loss to comedy. The court scene with Miss in the witness box makes me absolutely cry with laughter

There's a great show about the making of Father Ted on YouTube - they go back to visit the Parochial House.

When Father Ted says he'll just tap out the dent
Dragonfly in Fawlty Towers
What is it about a group of people ordering an Indian or Chinese that it is unexpectable to eat you own food that you order yourself...

Yes these, all these. Love Smithy’s curry riff.

Also @Meadowdog yaaassss that cold opener. Also the one where they drink coffee “yep yep yep yep yep”.

Also so much of Friends, moot point, a cow’s opinion” and “how can you not care?” “Like this 🤷‍♀️”

A good line from an excellent sitcom,Op, but not the best😁

"So you're not pregnant then?"
'Not unless sperm can get through a sash window '.

Can you smell my Charlie from dinnerladies.

Many many from the thick of it. The ones already quoted plus 'it's on like fat pats thong'. Most things Peter Manion says.

I'm going for a twix

'That would be an ecumenical matter'

Father Ted

Has GL stopped writing for TV of his own volition? I'd got the impression he had actually been blacklisted for having a basic grasp of biology?

If there's one thing I can't stand it's people pretending to be posh and upper class. It makes it so much harder for those if us who genuinely are.

Possibly not an exact quote from Hyacinth Bouquet
