There are plenty of great bits from the west wing but the line from the first episode where sam is explaining how he accidentally slept with a prostitute always makes me chuckle:
Toby: Accidentally? Sam: Yes. Toby: I don’t understand, did you trip over something?
I give you Yosser Hughes in Boys from the Blackstuff, "I'm desperate Dan". No job, lost kids to social, contemplating suicide. Talking to priest called Dan.
Another classic was to button-hole real Graeme Souness, "I look like you". And he did.
'That boy couldn't hit the side of a Renault Espace from 10 yards' 'I've got one word to say to you Smallsey - Hyundai' - the wise words of Mike Bassett England Manager's assistant who happened to be a second hand car salesman before he got the job
Clouseau: Does your dog bite? Hotel clerk: No Clouseau: (bowing down to pet the dog) Nice doggie. Dog bites Clouseau's hand. Clouseau: I thought you said your dog did not bite. Hotel Clerk: That is not my dog.
