Funniest Lines of the Series

I can only think of 2 right off the bat that had me rolling with laughter then, and has the same effect on me now.

1) After the grandparents have given the kids $5000 each, Ben goes on a spending spree buying everything for everyone. He's yelling out of the house at his friends saying I bought you this, that, and "I even bought you guys underwear!" Maggie hears this and says, "You bought Stinky underwear?" Ben: "No, it was new."

2) When Crissy has an imaginary rodent friend, she tells the parents that the mouse friend keeps flushing the toilet. We hear a toilet flush and Carol enters the kitchen with the rest of the family. Jason asks, "Carol, did you flush the toilet?" Carol: "Yes! Why do you keep asking me that?"

Those are good ones. One of the funniest has to be when Ben is being bullied at school, and Jason tells him that moving to another public school would mean moving to another district, and Ben says "I got it, how about Hebrew school?" LOL.

Another one is when Ben is making his movie for class, and he mentions about Laura Lynn's breasts, and when Maggie and Jason are looking at him, he says "Hey, a breast is part of a chicken. The most popular kind I believe."

Someone remind me more about this episode. It might have to do with Kelly Hu, the girl Mike met in Hawaii. Mike was grounded but he snuck out of the house. I don't remember how it happened but Mike was on the phone and Jason comes on the line from downstairs. Mike pretends he's on the phone upstairs talking to Boner, which he really isn't. Jason says, "Say goodbye, Boner." Mike does his best impression and says, "Uh, goodbye Dr. Seaver." I just love the way he says that line.

You don't need any reminding of that episode. You got it all right!!! That one is hilarious. I also remember Mike tape recorded himself talking to persuade the parents he's still home. He's supposedly in the bathroom, and Maggie is taling to him from the other side of the door asking "What are you doing?" Mike's tape recording said, "Whatever it is it sure smells good."

Laughed my head off.

Ben: Wait a minute, we're not wetting the bed, the bed's wetting us
A few lines later in the same scene
Mike: Are you guys just going to stand there or are you going to help me drink my bed?

I loved that show especially the one where Ben was sleeping and he woke up and was like "Ow what's poking me?" And you see Kirk Cameron behind him smiling as he whispers "quiet, alter boy!" the love scene was ultimately cut but I think I remember seeing it on the E true Hollywood story.

I would like to go back in time and kill the idiot who created the term "reimagining."

(When questioning Mike about the test answers written on his shoes)
Ben: You know a kid named Appomattox Courthouse?
Mike: Yeah, black guy...plays on the basketball team.

(Reading fortune cookies)
Mike: Every dog has his day. Oops, Carol, I think I got yours!
Carol: Then I must have yours, One day you will meet a handsome man and fall in love with him!
