Anyone have a guess as to how many characters have said "Excellent" in Burns style? And as a sub-group, how many also did the finger roll thing. I don't know. The thought just came to me the other day.

Finger roll? You mean when Burns tents his fingers?

Or do you mean the "finger twiddle" as invented by David Silverman and used by Homer when ever he sees something he likes?

Bart says it in Burns' Heir. Can't think of any more times they say excellent in the Burnsish way.

Well I know Lisa says it in some episode and Snake's ex (who was dating Burns at the time) also says it. Dont know how many others

I could have sworn that there's an episode where Lisa says it.

The episode where she's egged on by the ghost of Lucy Ball to paints Bart and Homer during the night to make them think they have leprosy. They come running down the stairs in the morning all in a panic because they think they have the disease. Lisa steeples her fingers and says, "Excellent."

Bart and Homer each say it (separately) in Principal Charming.
