I have a lot
Fran eating the wasabi covered sushi in "Val's Boyfriend." The look on her face was EPIC!
Fran dressing up like a man to get into the men's club in "Stock Tip."
When Max tells CC that Fran lost the Shakespeare note that was in her stolen purse, CC goes "I'LL KIIIIIILLLL YOOOOU!" and tries smothering Fran with a pillow. Just before that, Fran says "please let Macbeth be something you eat with McFries!"
The entire Kibbutz episode, with the flashback of Fran and Val as teenagers and we see younger versions of Niles and CC on Virginia Graham. I love how Yelsie's son asks Maggie if he'll take her hat when they're at the Kibbutz and Fran runs over and says "OH NO YA DON'T!" (lol Fran losing her "hat" at the same place was really when she had sex for the first time
)
The Liz Taylor episode. Especially Fran's fake "buzzer" noise and when Niles sees her and Max in the jacuzzi and says "Miss Babcock's on the phone but I'll just tell her you'll call right back (speaking into the phone) Right after you and Miss Fine get out of the jacuzzi!"
Fran imagining herself as Barbra Streisand at the hockey game
Like the proverbial cheese, I stand alone. Even while seated. -

I just watched the Episode with Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop and I LOLed so hard and loud.
Lamb chop really made the episode much funnier.
The part where CC walks in wearing a sheepskin coat and She was saying Hello to Shari and all off a sudden lamb chop starts screaming at the sheepskin coat. lol then chester eating lambchop and fran was trying to make Chester puke lambchop out by shaking him next to the sink. LOL -

My favorite line - partially because I can relate, but also just because of the way Fran delivers it - is in Shopaholic, when the lady at the Jersey outlet tells Fran she's had enough, and then she goes, "Just a couple of hoops for the ROAD, lady!" Classic.

I would just add that I forgot another one I love, though maybe not quite as much - When Fran is lecturing Brighton in the cab about not rejecting Brooke, and the loser from her high school who turns out to be the cabbie bitterly starts butting in - The look on her face and the way Fran just irritatedly says, "Uh, I work alone here" slays me every time.

When she moves in with Val in the Laverne and Shirley looking apt and they see a roach and Fran screams to Val "take off your shoe and kill it!" And Val takes off her shoeand steps on the roach with her bare foot lol!!

I forgot about one of my favorites: When Niles is using the obvious metaphor of Maxwell's love for Fran being the fruit (the "aching hunger" for the apple that got away), Maxwell just looks appalled and says, 'Good God, man, have a bloody pear!' totally not getting it.

The line that makes me laugh every time I see it is when C.C. comes running in the front door and screams, "Maxwell, it's your worst nightmare!" and Niles says, "Oh, will you please stop announcing yourself. You'll put me out of a job." Those two were the funniest.

I have many but they've almost been said except for the scene when Niles quits over salary and CC meets Fran in the hallway asking what happened and she says "Niles quit!" And the lights dim and you hear the song of angels focusing on CC LMAO. Love that.

There were a million jokes about Fran's voice but two stand out in my mind:
- Fran accidentally ingests a huge gulp of wasabi (Japanese horseradish eaten with sushi) and loses her nasal-ness.
- They're in France (I think) and Fran says, "croissant" with an English pronunciation. Niles corrects her with the French pronunciation and says, "I never thought I'd say this but more nasal"

I can't believe you think this show is funny! I thought The Nanny was just complete rubbish! There is nothing remotely funny about it - the character of Fran is an absolute idiot! It would be halfway watchable if she didn't speak in that ridiculous voice!

On the episode where Fran thinks Niles is a murderer when she and Val are sneaking through his room and the phone rings;
"It's Jim from the morgue. In answer to your question it takes 24 hours for rigamortis to set in", hangs up.
I laugh everytime! -

My favorite scene is when Fran is pregnant and Niles and Fran are in Maxwell's office pretending to be Max and CC to sell Niles' play. And Niles has a cigar and Fran sits on his lap, making fun of Max and CC and just then Maxwell walks in on them.

Two with Yette: Maxwell says in shock, That was you? Yette smiles and asks gleefully, That was you?
Yette is caught in bed with a man after burning her bagel sets off an alarm. Fran asks, What did you do with all the cream cheese? Yette pulls the covers up and looks VERY guilty.
"Great theater makes you smile. Outstanding theater may make you weep."
