 Two of my favorites . . .
 
 "Allow me to re-introduce myself . . ."

 That ^^^ song still near starts riots to this day.  The party takes on another level when you throw that song on.
 
 "Mr. Telephone Man . . . there's something wrong with my line . . . "
 
 If you grew up in the 80s, the last one's fairly obvious.
