I'm fascinated by the Phineas and Ferb formula. The show has an incredibly strict story structure (right down to mandatory phrases), but that strictness allows the writers to get really absurd and strange with the details. It's like the show is doodling in its own margins, and I find it consistently hilarious and…

"Hey, Grunkle Stan, you ever kissed a pig before?"
"I'm not going to answer that."

"Thank you for creating me! I love you, dad!"

I knew someone would beat me to this. Still, how often do you get to use that accurately outside of the Clerks cartoon?

I love those two panels where Wiccan and Hulkling are talking in the booth and Kid Loki is at the counter. A funny line in one, total silence in the other. It accomplished a Hel of a lot in a very limited space, and looked good on top of that.

Morrissey, protesting.

"I bet I can swaddle you like a piggy, boy"

My favorite is this very short one by Leonard Cohen.

It's a good show to have around. Even if it's not in top form the characters are fun enough to watch bounce off each other that I don't really mind.

"From the Screenwriter of Tim Burton's Dark Shadows"

I don't know much about heroin, but if Gillian measured out enough of the stuff to incapacitate Gyp, shouldn't receiving the same amount kill her? What with her being half his size and a fraction of his weight and all.

"Why don't you call yourself 'Albert'?"
"No way, why should I change, he's the one who sucks."

"I do declare I will burn this establishment to the ground… I most surely will."

Never could get the hang of Thursdays.

"I'm Cuckoo for the blue stuff!"

I feel a little mixed about the end of "Death in the Family."

When you play a game of ducks, you win or you die.

As I understand things…
