Now that The Donald is back on the air giving us our weekly dose of "You're fired!" on "The Celebrity Apprentice," we decided to count down our favorite one-liners. For brevity's sake, we ruled out any one-word catchphrases (including "Blerg," "D'oh!," and "Aaaayyyy"), but feel free to tell us how stupid we are mention those and all your other favorites in the comments below.

Those fifties and sixties sitcoms, even the children’s cartoons, are filled with adult double entendres. No harm I guess, the kids had no clue at the time. I know I didn’t. I do recall my parents getting a giggle out of things that I didn’t think were funny, though.
I always loved Jackie Gleason. He was a brilliant, if tortured soul who could squeeze more laughs out of a widened roll of his eyes than most comedians could get out of a whole monologue.
This dates me but What another revolten development this is!
Willian Bendix in "The Life of Reilly."
"Why, thank you, Eddy!"
Very good... also dating myself: “Just the facts, M’am.”
“And awaaaay we go!”
“Well, I guess I’d better be shoveling off.” Digby O’Dell, the friendly undertaker, in “Life of Reilly.”
“This is Jim Rockford, at beep leave your name and number and I’ll get back to you.”
“Who loves ya, baby?” Kojak
“You won’t like me when I’m angry” Incredible Hulk

“And that’s the name of that tune.” —Baretta
“There y’go.” - McCloud
“You bet your bippy”, “Very interesting” or “Sock It To Me” —Laugh In
“Here come da judge” —Flip Wilson
“You rang?” —Adams Family
Then there’s the classic beckoning by name. Guess who?
“Ain’t Bee” “Norton” “Hi, Bob” “Aah-lee-vah”
I could go on. Pity me.
“And now, here to tell you everything about anything is Mr. Know-It-All.”

Buckley: Now listen, you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or Ill sock you in you goddamn face and youll stay plastered.
Am I the first with “ book em Danno”.
“Whats you talkin’ about, Willis”
“Mr. Mason, you’ve got to help me! I’m innocent!”
The lesson here was, if you went to see Perry Mason about getting a zoning variance, fifteen minutes later, Hamilton Berger would arrest you for murdering a member of the zoning board. How he ever got any non-criminal work was beyond me.
“Noorrmmmm!!!”
“How’s it going Mr. Peterson?”
“It’s a dog eat dog world, Woody & I’m wearing Milk Bone underwear.”
