There is a line that gets quoted around my house frequently from My Name is Earl. It's from the Y2K/Christmas present theft episode, which I consider to be one of the funniest.

Joy keeps unwrapping stolen Christmas presents which turn out to be thesauruses. She then says, "So help me, if this is another thesaurus, I'm gonna track down those dumb, stupid... (pauses while trying to think of another word) dumb people... and teach them how to buy a proper gift."

It's subtle humor, but when you really understand why it's funny, you begin to notice that line is appropriate often in every day life.
