Grandpa: Ya know, Herman, I wonder if I should've stopped off at the freight
yard and bought a livestock permit before we boarded the train.
Herman: Why do you want to do that?
Grandpa: Because I've never traveled with a jackass before.

Herman: I just don't understand what went wrong with my child psychology.
It always worked on "Leave It to Beaver."

Grandpa: Lily, please let's not bring up the past. For once in this family, let's
let the dead stay buried.

Herman: [About the Funeral Parlor] "...We're just too busy. People are dying to get in here."

(from Tin Can Man)

Lily: [About Herman] "...You have a nack for going into a place just when there's a lull in business.
Grandpa: "Lily's right Herman. You know that, and being stupid, are the two things you do best."

(from Herman, the Tire-Kicker)

Herman: [About Marilyn's wedding] "...We're all so happy for you my dear, now that we've finally unloaded you."

(from A Man for Marilyn)

Those are good ones.

Herman:
Say, have you two guys ever heard the joke about the astronaut and the Playboy bunny?

Lou the bank robber:
No.

Herman:
I wish you had, because it sounds like a great one.

Dr. Frankenstein IV: "Johann, how many times do I have to tell you, this is a very respectable hotel, we do not eat the furniture."

Johann: "Run, run, run."

Charlie: "Ah Marilyn, you look pretty... pretty... uh, how you do in school dear?"

Mrs. Cribbins: "...And the one they call "Herman", he's got the kind of a body you'd expect to see fall out of a closet."

Lily: "Herman, if your head gets any bigger, you'll pop your bolts again."

How risquee for the '60s! Today they'd show the actual act, but then, that's like promoting nudist camps!

I remember hearing that line way, way WAY back and it really made me laugh that Herman seemingly started a joke only to find out he'd never even heard it himself.

And he was right. It did sound like a good one.

Fearing that Herman will be tortured while on board the Russian cargo ship, Lily and Grandpa arrive to see Herman dancing with the crew, particularly with a rather hefty short woman.

Grandpa: "Lily, maybe they are torturing him. I mean, you know, that's not exactly Juliet Prowse he's wiggling his watusi with."

Lilly: "Herman, you goofed it again".

Any line of Grandpa's that started with "Back in the old country..."

Eddie (to Googie): "You're a fink, and a rat fink, and a miserable little brat."

Lily - "Oh Marilyn, those circles under your eyes, how lovely you look today."

From "Munster Go Home" - but also repeated in a series episode I can't recall:

Eddie: "Kiss Woof Woof goodnight for me"
Terry Thomas (British snob): "I'd really rather not"
Eddie: "Then kiss me goodnight"

(Given this choice, TT picks takes Woof Woof from Eddie and kisses him goodnight)

A classic without question

Grandpa -"Hmm, what smells so good?"
Herman - "I cut myself shaving."
