There are so so many, but yes the ratatouille is probably my favorite. It was a beautiful punchline with the world's first ever triple-pun at the climax of building confusion. Utter genius.

When Basil sees the Major with a shotgun and tells him there are no Germans staying in the Hotel that week
He was doing very well last night! Maybe someone around here gave him lessons!

In The Psychiatrist, when Sybil catches Basil hiding in the wardrobe in the beautiful Australian girls room, she says to Basil Do you really imagine even in your wildest dreams that a girl like this could possibly be interested in an aging, brilliantined stick insect like you?
Now THATS a great line!
I wonder how many times they had to reshoot some of these scenes before they could do them without laughing.

ArkEng- Zero re-shoots! FT was rehearsed and then filmed in one fell swoop like a stage play. That and Cleese/Booth's month-long writing process (for each episode) is the reason why it is so wonderful. It is also why there are only 12 of them.

I've watched each episode a few hundred times at least. But I still laugh heartily including many in Gourmet Night. I think my favorite scene in that is where after destroying the first duck, Basil sends Polly and Manuel to entertain the Halls and Twitchens. Manuel comes in playing his guitar though he's not very good. Then Polly sings "I'm just a girl who can't say no" in a voice that is truly awful. The four dinner guests, upper class English blueboods, are not amused by this entertainment. When Polly finishes her horribly off tune singing, the whole room is in silence. Manuel though suddenly screams and starts applauding Polly and in doing so, he screams in right in Mrs. Twitchen's ear.
That whole episode is funny but just that sequence, interspersed with Basil attacking his own car, is still gut busting.
