Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner - S11-E3

Luigi: Homer is out of control. He gave me a bad review. So my friend put a horse head in his bed. He ate the head and gave it a bad review. True story.
Captain McAllister: Arr, well I've had it with Homer. His bad reviews are sinking our businesses.
Akira: Then why did you put yours in the window?
Captain McAllister: Arr, it covered up the D from the health inspector.
Restaurant Owner: Well I say we ban Homer from our restaurants.
Akira: No, that would be impolite. I say we kill him.
Izzy: Now hold on a minute. Are we restaurateurs or are we murderers?
Captain McAllister: Does that answer your question? [Points to a plaque on the wall intended for Homer's head.]
Akira: We'll kill him at the Taste of Springfield Festival. Well give Homer all he can eat, 'til he can eat no more. Then he'll get his just dessert.
French Chef: [Showing a picture of an eclair] This will be Homer Simpson's last lagniappe.
Restaurant Owner: Come on, you're gonna kill him with a pastry? I've seen this man eat a bowl of change.
French Chef: This eclair is over one million calories, 25 lbs of butter per square inch, covered with chocolate so dark, light cannot escape its surface. [Everyone else drools and paws at the picture.] No, no, no. This is just a picture. But Homer Simpson will find the real thing both delicious and deadly.
Akira: Ah yes, death by chocolate. Ah ha ha ha.
French Chef: And poison. I'll stick in some poison.

Goo Goo Gai Pan - S16-E12

Chinese Consulate: Your adoption application is in perfect order, except for one thing. You forgot to fill out the name of your husband.
Selma: Husband.
Chinese Consulate: Of course. The Chinese government only allows wholesome married couples to adopt. No hen without cock. I apologize if that is a double entendre in your language. It is not in ours.
Selma: Don't worry, I'll just write my husband's name on this form. Have you ever heard of MacGyver?
Chinese Consulate: Oh yes. Big star. Big star. We know he's not married to you.

Lethal Inspection - S6-E6

[Bender and Hermes jump into a moving boxcar in order to avoid some Killbots, who catch up to them by forming a railroad cart.]
Bender: Ah, shoot.
Killbot #1: Someone said shoot! [The Killbots on the outside edges of the makeshift railroad cart shoot and destroy the Killbot in the middle. Bender and Hermes scale the top of the train and are approaching a tunnel.]
Bender: Well, we're boned.
Hermes: No, we're not. We just got to limbo.
Bender: But I'm not designed to bend that low. Not without limbo music. [The Killbots begin firing at Bender, and the ricocheting bullets sound like a steel drum.] That'll do it. [Bender and Hermes escape].
Killbot #2: We're gonna get fired.
Killbot #1: Someone said fire! [Shoots and destroys the other Killbot].
[Later in the episode, several Killbots have cornered Bender and Hermes, but Hermes hacks into their programming and sends them a cease fire]
Killbot #3: Cease fire. Mom called off the attack. Although I don't see how it's her.
Killbot #1: Someone said howitzer! [The Killbots shoot and destroy each other].

TV Announcer: And they'll all be signing autographs.
Homer: Woohoo!
TV Announcer: This match will determine once and for all which nation is the greatest on Earth. Mexico or Portugal.
