I have to see the original Batman series. I don't remember it being quite so ridiculous when I was little.

BATMAN: I did think it would all end differently, somehow less ignominiously. To drown in my own anniversary cake!

*dead*

BRUCE: Most Americans don't realize what we owe to the ancient Incas. Very few appreciate they gave us the white potato and many varieties of Indian corn.
DICK: Now whenever I eat mashed potatos, I for one will think of the Incas.

The best ever is: "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!"

I'm especially fond of "I'll do anything to rehabilitate you, Catwoman!" "Marry me." "Except that."

My favourites include:

ROBIN: If we close our eyes, we can't see anything.
BATMAN: A sound observation, Robin.

ROBIN: I am a little hungry.
BATMAN: Of course, Robin. Even crimefighters must eat. And especially you. You're a growing boy and you need your nutrition.

GORDON: Batman and Robin not available! You know what this means, don't you?
O'HARA: If you're thinking what I'm afraid you're thinking...
GORDON: Precisely, Chief O'Hara. The moment we've dreaded for years has arrived. This time, we're going to have to solve a case... ourselves.

I seriously do not remembering it being quite this ridiculous. I do remember watching it religiously though.

BATMAN: Go back outside and calm the flower children.
ROBIN: They'll mob me!
BATMAN: Groovy

*is dead*

I hear the 'groovy' in a Johnny Bravo voice as well, which makes it that little bit worse.

Some local channel or other showed the series as summer reruns when I was in high school. It was just surreal, but I think it's practically impossible to retain any feel for how insane it is when you're not actively watching an episode. Or something. 'Cause those quotes? Whack!

Man, now I want to see it again!

ROBIN: Whoa! You came down that pole like a pro, Alfred.

Am I the only one who had a disturbing mental image reading that one.

I snerked a lot *g*

Am I the only one who had a disturbing mental image reading that one.

Not just you. Also:

BATMAN: Careful, Robin. Both hands on the Bat Rope.

BATMAN: Just as I expected. The agile crook also managed to slip an induction receiving antenna into your left trouser leg.

BATMAN: Just what are you doing, and to whom are you doing it?

Now my tummy hurt from laughing so hard. XD

ROBIN: Where'd you get a live fish, Batman?
BATMAN: The true crimefighter always carries everything he needs in his utility belt, Robin.
