Ed Norton favorite (nuttiest) lines/moments

Lately I've been watching clips,sometimes(more often than not)Norton really had some loose screws.
Examples:
'Unconvential Behavior', Getting on the wrong train,handcuffing Ralph all the way to Norfolk Virginia. Driving Ralph crazy,
complaining about everything. Hey Ralph.do you mind if I smoke?

'Bensonhurst Bomber' Ralph backs down from fighting Harvey,but Norton opens his big mouth and tells Harvey "My friend ain't scared of you,he'll fight you anytime'.
'Tv or not Tv' Captain Video space helmet.
Just to name a few.

How about this advice:
When the tides of life turn against you and the current upsets your boat, don't waste those tears on what might have been, just lay on your back and float.

Seen more earlier 'Jackie Gleason pre Honeymooners'funny sketches.
One in particular 'Hot Dog Stand', Ralph,Ed+ the wives open up food stand,customers are few til actor George Petrie shows up as first customer.
Ralph tells him "you're our first customer,yesterday I was a busdriver",Petrie ready 2 bite into hot dog when Norton adds "Yesterday I worked in the sewer", just then Petrie says "You know what I'm not hungry anymore".

'One Big Happy Family', in which the foursome share nicely furnished apartment,yet Ralph screams at Ed cause he's hogging the bathroom when they both have to go to work,then Ed says "I don't have go to work,its my day off,you'd think i'd take a bath the same day I gotta work in the sewer".

There r dozens more.

'Matter of Life and Death' Dr.Norton just where do you practice medicine? "I don't have to practice it I know it, but I wanna spend my life in prison".

'The Loudspeaker' Ralph has hiccups trying to memorize speech while Ed sprinkles hard candy on the floor so Ralph slips and falls.
"Why are you hollering at me for,you got rid of your hiccups/hiccoughs".

'Man from Space' he dressed up as Jean Paul Della Briosci(?).

For me, without a doubt Ed's funniest moment was during the " My Aching Back " episode where upon looking at the thermometer he just heated up to have a better look at, breaks down and yells out "A hundred eleven"....the audience almost loses it
