Larisa Oleynik/Da Brat [2.03]
Lori Beth Denberg: If you're lucky enough to have a hammer...please...don't hammer in the mornin. It's not safe to ride your bike with no hands. It's impossible to ride your bike with no rear end. One potato, two potato, three potato, four. I rode a bike that had no seat, and now my butt is sore. When it rains, it pours. When it snows...it's cold. If you have a friend who says, "I'm a little gumdrop, and I like to push my face into things that are sharp and pointy"...then you've got one weird friend. If you're on TV, giving out vital information, and your phone rings...don't answer it. It's not...okay to eat breakfast cereal out of your underpants. If you're on a first date with someone, never stick your finger in their spaghetti, twirl it, and holler, "Lookit, date; I'm makin' s'ghetti circles!". Twinkle, twinkle, little star; how I wonder...how in the world that song ever became so popular. There's no real reason to play basketball naked. If your first name is Wally, and your middle name is Wally, and your last name is Woo, then your name is...WALLY WALLY WOO!" If your first name is Brucifer, and your middle name is Yaptiddy, and your last name is Magoogoo, then CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR FULL NAME IS BRUCIFER YAPTIDDY MAGOOGOO! When you're checking out at the grocery store, never say 'Oh, I don't need any bags. I just stick the food in my pants!.

Karen: Well, stop yelling at me!
Bryan: I’ll yell if I want! (He tears off his shirt and continues itching and screaming)Karen: I’m only trying to help!
Bryan: Well, you’re not doin’ a very good job!
Karen: You know what?! My sister was right! You are a tube!(Becky, hiding behind the sofa, smiles mischievously)Bryan: A tube?! You’re the tube!

Announcer: Peter knows the importance of recycling our trash. Flem eats his garbage. Peter entertains his guests by playing cards or other fun games. Flem ties his guests up in a chair, and spins them until they cry. Peter dresses himself like a nice young man. Flem dresses himself like a diseased freak of nature.

Student [Mitchell]: No; they're Bacteria, the hottest band around!
Student [Johnson]: Their CD, Raw Sewage, just went Triple Platinum!
Miss Fingerly: Oh, I see. Well, perhaps you'd like to tell the class how your band got the name "Bacteria"!
Maggot: Well, you see, our drummer, Spew, forgot to take a bath for 3½ years, and when we looked under his armpit, we found...
Miss Fingerly: All right! Let's all take our seats.(A girl named Janet is standing at the Lost & Found desk)Janet (Reyes; to the Lost & found woman): 'Scuse me?
Lost & Found woman (Denberg): #1?
Janet: Yes. I lost my backpack; has anyone turned one in?
Lost & Found woman: Is it a...black canvas bag with lights all around it?
Janet: Yes; that's the one!(The woman places the aforementioned backpack on her desk)Lost & Found woman: Ah, ah...wait just a minute. How do I know that this is yours?

Janet: Okay. There's a glow-in-the-dark Statue of Liberty.(The woman cups her hands around the statue to see if it glows)Lost & Found woman: Doesn't look like it glows to me.
Janet: Well, you have to put it in the light first. There's a big red flashlight in my backpack; use that.(The woman does so)Lost & Found woman: Not much of a glow if you ask me, but...I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Janet (sarcastically): How generous of you. Now, may I have my stuff, please?Lost & Found woman: Ah, ah...we have not yet established that this is "your stuff".
Janet: What about the hedge clippers? Sausage links?
Lost & Found woman: What about them?
Janet: Well, if this wasn't my backpack, how on Earth would I know they were in there?
Lost & Found woman: Lucky guess?
Janet: Well, that's five lucky guesses in a row.Lost & Found woman: Look. People pick six winning numbers in the lottery every day. A lot of people. I'm not impressed! Besides...there's still one more thing in here.
Janet: Okay. There's a gold pendant with an inscription from my grandmother.

Lost & Found woman: Oh, quite all right; it happens all the time. (She starts putting the things back into the backpack)Good Burger customer [guest star Mark Curry]: Hey, man, wait a minute. Hey, what's wrong with you, man?! I drove through the drive-thru, and you threw food all over me!

(Customer #4 leaves, while the Complaint Department lady cries and hugs the penguin)Lori Beth Denberg: Homework...bad. Pizza...'good'. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. [Long pause] No one cared. Ice cream tastes good. Armpits taste bad. If it looks bad, smells bad, and tastes bad, then it might be...this olllld burrito! It's a bad idea to put bacon on your face, and then run around screaming, LOOK AT ME; I'M PORKBOY, THE BREAKFAST MONKEY!. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. When left in the sun, mayonnaise grows hair. Money can't buy happiness. But it can buy you...PORKBOY, THE BREAKFAST MONKEY!Ed [Mitchell]: Whoa!

Haven't I made that clear?Bernie's wife: Times sure have changed; when I was young, we were never pushy Pansies.Susie: Did I mention that Lulu Creams are made with real synthetic nougat?Ross Perot: Did you know I'm freakishly rich? I mean, I got over $4 billion.Perot [looks hungrily at Pizzaface]: How can I concentrate with that dee-licious pizza starin' at me?Perot: Look at me, I'm in a bathtub full of money. I'm a sawed-off freak, takin' a $4 billion jacuzzi!Roseanne Barr: I got a wicked rash!Camille Cosby [Bates]: Who rang that bell?Dorothy: It was I, Dorothy.Dorothy: What about me, Mr. Cosby? What about my shower?Cosby [Thompson]: Well, you see, Dorothy, a shower is like a box of peanuts that you sit on with your wife Camille. And the grapefruit, and the avocados, and the little children running around in the neighborhood. Purty, purty, purty. Purty, purty, purty. And then, your big toe swells up in your underpants.
Terry Ellis [2.17] Lori Beth Denberg: On Halloween, it's fun to go up to people's doors and say, "Trick-or-treat". On Groundhog Day, it's fun to go up to people's doors and say, "It's Groundhog Day. Now, let me look between your toes!". Never spit on someone and then say, "That's what spit feels like". If you're drinking apple juice, and it feels warm...odds are, that ain't apple juice. If you can't stand the heat...don't just start throwin' rocks at people. If your sister gets a phone call, and you answer it, don't say "My sister ain't here. She's out in the yard, floppin' in the mud!".Lori Beth Denberg: It's nice to stop and smell the flowers. It's weird to stop and smell...this olllld burrito! If you smell smoke in your house, yell Fire!. If you smell smoke in your pants, yell 'Why am I smelling my pants?!". If your Mom's friend comes over with her new baby, don't say, Help me, Mama; that's one lousy baby!. If you have a pizza delivered, it's nice to tip the pizza man a dollar. It's not nice to say, Hey, thanks for the pizza...now, could you help me put it in my pants?. If you look under your arm, and find a big glob of mayonnaise...then NEVER, EVER, EVER COME NEAR ME! If your friend's Mom asks you what you'd like to drink, don't say Oh, nothing. My mouth's fulla spit. The early bird gets the worm. Fine! I don't want the worm!" Never put underwear on your head, and say to people, 'I'm little Nancy, and this my pretty new hat. It is better to sit there and look stupid...than it is to stand up, open your mouth, and announce, "HEY, I'M DEFINITELY STUPID!" If you like wearing a T-shirt that says "I'm extremely stupid"...well, then, you're extremely stupid. Girls...it's a bad idea to fill your bra with water and goldfish, and then people you've invented the "double-cup aquarium".
Faith Evans [2.18] Kopelow: "Everyone, I have a little surprise for you all! Kenan?"
[Thompson enters, carrying the Big Ear of Corn, who was feared to be terminally ill. The other cast members, especially Denberg, are delighted.]Server: "It's the Big Ear of Corn!"Bates: "So, what was wrong with the Corn?"Thompson: "Nothin'; it turns out that the Big Ear of Corn wasn't even sick at all! Katrina?"
[Johnson enters, pushing a perambulator containing the Big Ear of Corn's four new offspring, each of whom is still at least twice the size of a large standard ear of corn.]

Hockey player: Thanks.
(He departs)
Marty: Yeah; uh, Ed? I think we’re gonna go now. We’re leavin’ you all alone.
(The other Good Burger employees leave in a hurry, while continuing to scream)
Ed (locks the door): Oh…what’s wrong with you guys?
(He locks the door behind them)
Ed: I ain’t afraid o’ no ghost.
(He starts mopping, while singing and dancing)
Ed: I mop good…duh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh…my mop...
(He looks around, then resumes singing and dancing)
Ed: ♪I mop good…duh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh…my mop’s made of wood…nuh-duh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh…I mop good…duh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh…my mop’s made of wood…nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh'♪...Ghost of John Rogan (Tim Goodwin; offscreen; eerily): Ed!
