Nope.
Speaking of Nimoy on the simpsons, i loved this scene...
Hello. I'm Leonard Nimoy. The following tale of alien encounters is
true. And by true, I mean false. It's all lies. But they're
entertaining lies. And in the end, isn't that the real truth? The
answer is: No.
Haha, that is a good one.
I really like this one from The Office (UK).

I could think of many office scenes which qualify for this thread. This is the one which comes to mind immediately though.

Wife Of Gob: I'm in love with your brother-in-law.
Gob: You're in love with your own brother? The one in the army?
Wife Of Gob: No, your sister's husband.
Gob: Michael? Michael!
Wife Of Gob: No, that's your sister's brother.
Gob: No, I'm my sister's brother. You're in love with me - me.
Wife Of Gob: I'm in love with Tobias.
Gob: My brother-in-law?
Wife Of Gob: I know it can never be, so I'm leaving. I'm enlisting in the army.
Gob: To be with your brother ..
Wife Of Gob: No!
Speaking of guest stars of the simpsons my favorite guest star moment is when Ron Howard is pitching that movie, then he uses Homer's script about the talking pie and the Fox exec hands him a bag of money.
Here's a great comedy scene.

Another one from AD
*George Snr's lawyer Barry is talking to him in prison*
Barry Zuckercorn: So are all the guys in here....you know?
George: no ....not all of them
Barry: no....it's never the ones you hope
George: Hope?
Barry: ...think

He's a classic.
Favourite was when he was "back in the dating game".
*Drives up to random prostitute.*
Barry: You're not one of those silly men who dresses up like a woman, are ya?
Hooker: No baby, I'm the real thing ....
*Speeds off*

It's close to it, but I also rate "I'd like a yellow boat please, with extra motors!"

The whole opening scene of "The fear Of Flying" episode of The Simpsons
Lenny: Hey, Moe...you got change for a five?
Moe: Yeah, sure thing Lenny.
[opens cash register]
[a cobra pops out and bites him repeatedly]
A snake in the cash register! [everyone laughs]
Great prank, fellas, great prank. Oh, I'm gonna be sick
tonight.
Barney: Hey Moe, you want to smell my flower?
Moe: Do I?! [walks over]
[Barney holds a lighter under Moe's chest]
Ooh! I'm burning up here. Ooh! [everyone laughs]
Aw, taking advantage of my alcohol-soaked clothes. Ho, ho, it's
funny and it makes you think. Oh, I need some coffee before I
pass out. Homer, pass me the sugar.
Homer: [unscrewing lid] This is going to be great!
[Moe pours sugar in his cup; a whole lot comes out]
Barney: Oh, jeez.
Moe: Aw, there's sugar all over the bar now.
Lenny: That's not funny, Homer.
Barney: Yeah! We were just messing around, and you had to go too far.
and the ever famous bar scenes from that same episode
Homer: Wow, classy.
Maitre D': Good evening, sir. Would you please leave without a fuss
right now?
Homer: [meek] OK.
________________________________________________________
Homer: Ooh, this looks like a nice friendly place.
Carla: Sammy, you're too old to go on a date with two twins on the same
night you're supposed to marry Diane without Rebecca knowing.
Sam: OK, Carla, I'll make you a bet: if this affects my major league
comeback, I'll sell my bar.
Norm: Woody...gimme a beer.
Woody: I think you've had enough, Mr. Peterson. My chiropractor says I
can't carry you home any more.
Norm: Just gimme another beer, you brain-dead hick! [grabs wine
bottle, smashes it, holds it by the neck]
I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you!
Cliff: [restraining him] Whoa, settle down, Normy. Gotta save those
pipes for Karaoke.
Homer: [gasps] Whoa! [runs out]
Norm: I love you guys...[weeps]
__________________________________________________________
Homer: Wait a minute...there's something bothering me about this place.
[looks around] I know! This lesbian bar doesn't have a fire
exit. Enjoy your death trap, ladies. [leaves]
Woman: What was her problem?
___________________________________________________________
Bartender: Uh, sorry, you gotta be a pilot to drink in here.
Homer: Um, but I am a pilot.
Bartender: Where's your uniform?
Homer: Um...I stowed it safely in the overhead compartment.
Bartender: Well, you talk the talk. Here's a loaner. [gives him a uniform]
____________________________________________________________
Man: We need a pilot, pronto! Who wants to fly to the Windy City?
[pilots all go, "Oh, I'll go!", "Me", "I'm your man", etc.]
Man: Conditions are a little windy.
[pilots all go, "Well", "I dunno", "Never mind", etc.]
Man: [to Homer] You!
Homer: [now dressed as a pilot] But I --
Man: Hey...you're not just impersonating a pilot so you can drink
here, are you?
Homer: Yeah. That's exactly why I'm here.
Man: [laughs] You fly boys, you crack me up.
Homer: [being pushed into the cockpit] But I keep telling you I'm not a
pilot!
Man: And I keep telling you you fly boys crack me up!
____________________________________________________________ _
Alan: Hi, I'm Alan. I'm your copilot.
Homer: Uh, yeah, uh, hmm. Er, uh, as a change of pace, I'm going to let
you do most of the work. I think you're ready for it, Alan.
[Alan makes a face]
And, um, I'll just get us started.
[flips a switch randomly]
Alan: Uh, we'll need that to live.
[Homer flips another switch; the wheels retract and the plane
smashes into the runway]
____________________________________________________________ __
Official: If word gets out about this, Krazy Klown Airlines will be a laughingstock. In exchange for your silence, I'm prepared to offer your family free tickets to anywhere in the United States. Excluding Alaska and Hawaii, the freak states.
Homer: Woo hoo!
[at home]
Good news, everybody! Because I endangered lives, we can fly
anywhere we want!
Bart: Alaska!
Lisa: Hawaii!

That scene from Extras where Ricky Gervais tries to pick up that girl and the bottle explodes in his mouth
Just about the funniest thing I have seen on TV. :thumbsu:
I also like the bit in The Office when David finds out the Swindon group are calling him Bluto and he goes out to confront them, only to find out he is also called Mr Toad.
"The toad is the ugliest of the amphibians".
This scene was great as it had the initial exchange with Gareth asking him to throw out some insults to show how to roll with the punches (all of which he couldn't take), and then confronting the group where he had a go at Keith.
"If we are handing out insults for being fat, why do we start with him? Look at him. Why don't we call him Fatty, Fatty Toad Boy? At least start with him and move on!"
"Mr Toad.... I can't believe it"
This thread is really made for The Office, Extras, The Simpsons, Fawlty Towers, Monty Python, and Arrested Development.
Not really an exchange, but the scene where Tobais fell through the coffee table acting as Mrs Featherbottom/Mary Poppins on Arrested Development rivaled the Andy Millman and the sparkling water incident as the funniest thing I have seen on TV recently. :D I wish I could find that on youtube.
