Each character has a catchphrase like that, though, if we go into that we're going to have include Bart's "Ay Caramba!", Mr. Burns' "Excellent!", Apu's "Thank you, come again!" etc.

I'd argue that D'oh is by far the most recognisable catchphrase. D'oh has pretty much ascended from the show in that you can read youtube comments on videos that have nothing to do with The Simpson's and "D'oh" is used to indicate a mistake. I've seen D'oh used in that sort of situation far more than I have any other catchphrase from the Simpson's.

"Thank you, come again" seems to hit a lot of sarcastic, unrelated contexts when people post "I quit" threads on forums for various MMOs, however.

I have seen it used in that context, albeit less commonly that "D'oh" but I don't really play MMOs, so that might explain why I've heard "Thank you, come again" less.

You people and your disregard for the classics.

"Something tells me we're not in Kansas anymore, Toto..."
"Here's lookin' at you, kid."
"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."
"Rosebud..."

"Surely you don't mean...."
"Don't call me Shirley."

I'd say "Play it again, Sam," but that's not really a line in the movie.
