IMHO Mrs. Richards was the best foil for Fawlty
Fawlty speaking to Mrs. Richards
Is this a piece of your brain?
I wish you were a ratI'd drown you.
I shall visit you in the small hours and put a bat up your night dress.
Mind you, these quotes are permanently etched into my brain
and I use them frequently.

Haha yeah Mrs.Richards is such a jerk! She stands for every difficult customer who stays at hotels.
"First they give me a room without a bath, and then there's no lavatory paper!"
I still can't speak that whole line without breaking out laughing.
Also her confusion with Manuel's spanish speaking was classic. -

His screaming at the car and beating the hell out of it with a tree branch in Gourmet Night. "Start you vicious bastard."

In 'The Germans' where Basil is trying to explain the difference between the burglar alarm and the fire alarm, he is shouting at all the guests in the lobby, and the phone rings for about the third time, and Basil shouts at it "WE'RE HAVING IT!!" not even stopping to think that it may or may not have been Sybil calling from the hospital.

"I'm a doctor and I want my sausages!!" always does it for me, but so do loads more scenes in every episode.
"Oi loike a woman with spirit!" another.
"Basil, if you're going to grope the guests do have the common courtesy to stay in the room with them!" -

When Basil has the oil on his hands and grabs that woman (thinking she's the girl the guy has sneaked into his room), Sybil sees his handprint on her chest and Basil grabs her again ("Sorry, I got confused!").
That never fails to crack me up.
"Sir, let those laugh that win." -

I have a tie between two lines:
Basil: He's from Barcelona. You might as well ask the cat!
Manuel: (after hauling the basket with the dead lady in it) Meester Fawlty, I no want to work here anymore!
It's called a BRAIN. ~USE IT! -

The fire drill scene in "The Germans", where he accidentally sets off the burglar alarm as well and then argues with the guest about the difference between the fire alarm and the burglar alarm.
Still cracks me up after all these years.
When I said I wanted to be a comedian, they all laughed at me. Well, they're not laughing now! -

Yeah, that might be my favourite scene in the entire series!
Other things that can make me giggle just by thinking of them: Basil giving his car a good thrashing with that ridiculous tree branch; Basil attempting to strangle a garden gnome, Manuel confidently announcing "I know nothing!" -

"Gourmet Night": Basil is at the typewriter in reception frantically typing up a new menu, and Sybil asks him why.
Basil: He's drunk!
Sybil: Drunk?
Basil: Drunk. Soused. Potted. Inebriated.
Got it?
Sybil: I can't believe this!
Basil: I don't, either. Maybe it's a dream! [Basil abruptly leans over and pounds his head on the desk next to typewriter several times, sits up, looks around.] Nope, it's not a dream - we're stuck with it. -

The scene in which Manuel is under the counter practicing his English and the Major walks in and thinks the moose head is talking to him. I've seen that about five times and it still makes me laugh every time.
