What are you all’s personal favorites?

Mine are:

“The mayor is on my ass!” In Lil’ crime stoppers

Almost the entire plot of Asspen

Jock marine talking down to “Mr. Scientist” in Awesom-O

Edit: Title should read “….literature and media?”

A good one is the Dead Celebrities episode. The whole Zelda Rubinstein, Poltergeist thing. The 6th Sense reference, Exorcist. And those idiot ghost shows, making fun of the Ghost Hunters specifically. Crazy infomercial announcers, Billy May's and the stuff they sell with irrepressible enthusiasm.

My favorite episode off season 13 is Pinewood Derby. I guess it has more social and political tropes but it's great! Fun fact: It was the 2nd most-watched episode on Comedy Central the week it aired. Seen by 2.78 million households.
