"By the way Homer, what's your least favorite country: Italy or France?"
"France."
(laughs) "Nobody ever says Italy."

You want quotes? How about poor Bart in his new school:

And it doesn't take all that much effort to imagine Branson as a Bond villain.

Yup. That was definitely his thing, and they were wise to let him play around. Another great one he ad-libbed was the brunch line as Jasques from "Life on the Fast Lane":

I'm always considered Hank Scorpio heavily based on Richard Branson, who, at the time represented a new breed of charismatic, unstuffy, adventure seeking super-cool business magnates.

It is a great episode, and a big part of it is Homer actually making a real gesture to do right by his family, and actually not screwing up in any way!

White millionaire comedians tell jokes like this…

I know I'm walking into a buzzsaw, but when did the word "lady" become automatically sexist? Saying, "we have three ladies playing today" is problematic?

Upvoted for the Real Genius reference.

I Rooed the day as well. Wrote a lot of fan fiction about my favorite A.A. Milne character. I would share some but I think most of it would be considered… inappropriate.

Fine, Hootie McBoob it is

You can see how much Geere relishes playing this character, and how he can play all those emotions to the hilt without going off the rails. Quite the high wire act, that.

And that too, yes. Some people call it "Kaufman-esque", but to me he's much better than that because he's not pretentious (there is never a moment where Norm acts as if he's "re-inventing comedy.")

Folds' "piano commentary" was even funnier than his dry one-liners.

Deftly put, Dr. Handsome, I was also thinking that continually bringing up that song was leading to something…

Over the past year there's been a battle to even let the VA merely mention medical marijuana. It seems to be making progress, but every imaginable roadblock is getting thrown in its way.

I'm still wondering what happened to Pepper, the 16-year old TV-daughter of Mario Lopez who tweeted pics of her vag, much to Getchen's dismay early in season 1.

I don't believe just any doctor can prescribe medical marijuana. Anyone out there who lives in California and knows the laws might be able to elaborate on this.

This might also be the first time in years he smoked weed without the meds. And it's also probably the first time he vaped medical marijuana (which he got from Sam) which is usually of better quality (so I hear anyway) than the street stuff. So it seems he's managed to hit a point where simpler is better, and he only…

For people who are not into him, it's really hard to explain the appeal. The simplest way I can put it is that he's the only comedian with an "I don't really give a shit" attitude that is not a bullshit pose; i.e. he doesn't condescend to his audience, he takes it as a given that a comedy audience can handle jokes.
