Some of the funniest moments in the show come straight from old Burnsie. One of my all time favorites is when he pulls up to the Kwik E Mart in a quadricycle dressed in full driving gear and says: To Marge: You there, fill it up with petroleum distillate, and re-vulcanize my tires, post-haste.

any others?

I think it hung on until the sixties. he was like paul harvey - still on the air after he was dead.

As for Burnsisms:

Don't know when it started, but it was still on the air in the late 60's, when ABC split into 4 networks.

That's my favorite one, too. Some other goodies:

"I had my share of wieners that day!"

"Good news, I bought 'munchies'! Smithers, the Cheetos."

Burns: "Have the Rolling Stones killed" Smithers: "But sir, those weren't the..." Burns: "DO AS I SAY!"

"Oh, take a copy of my new book, 'Will there ever be a rainbow?'"

"You don't have to sue me to get my pants off..."

"I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro?"

Smithers: Someone is charging room service to the company, sir.
   Burns: Well, we'll just see about that.

"Ketchup...Catsup...Ketchup...Catsup; I'm in way over my head."

"Since the dawn of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun"

Let's check the old stock ticker, where did I leave it last...September 1929... oh no, oh no! Smithers! why didn't you inform me of this "stock market crash"?

"What!? I'm not made of airports! Get out!"

"How dare you disturb me during my lime rickey!"

Hahaha....good call.

Did he actually say anything after "Mr. Burns" as Elvis, or was it all incomprehensible after that?

Also, didn't he do a Nixon impression. (Something about him being nervous so Burns let him win at golf).

i don't have the whole quote memorized, but the "mother nature started the fight for survival, and now she wants to quit because she's losing? well, i say hard cheese." it starts with something about draught and acid rain and poison monkeys. man, i love that part! shut up little girl! i have to go.

Yes, that one my favourite too: "Oh, so Mother Nature needs a favour? Maybe she should have thought of that when she was besetting us with droughts and floods and poisoned monkeys. Nature started the fight for survival and now she wants to quit because she is loosing, well I say 'hard cheese'."

And the one where he tries to get Smithers to board the model airplane, just mentioned a couple of messages ago.

I've always been partial to this one from "Homer Goes to College":

Burns: Remember, your job and the future of your family hinges on
          your successful completion of Nuclear Physics 101.
          Oh, and one more thing: [ominously] you must find the jade
          monkey before the next full moon.
Smithers: Actually sir, we found the jade monkey; it was in your glove
          compartment.
   Burns: And the road maps?  And ice scraper?
Smithers: They were in there too, sir.
   Burns: Ex-cellent!  It's all falling into place.

And this one from "Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?":

Burns: Now before we begin, let me make one thing clear for you. I want your legal advice. I even pay for it. But to me you're all vipers! You live on personal injuries, you live on divorces, you live on pain and misery! I-- [getting ahold of himself] Oh, but I'm rambling. Would anyone like some coffee? Lawyer: Yes, I would like some coffee. Burns: Want it black, don't you? Black like your heart? It's so hard for me to listen to you, I hate you all so much! [pause] I'm sorry, it's my problem, I'll deal with it. Please continue. Lawyer: If you offer Homer Simpson a token cash settlement, say a couple of thou, he'll be so dazzled, he'll sign anything you shove under his nose. Burns: [sarcastic] Oh, brilliant, a cash settlement. I could have figured that out, you buttoned-down maggot! Lawyer: Got any cream? Burns: Oh yes, of course, where are my manners?

In the same vein, when Burns makes a speech to his employees:

"Campadres, we must crush the revolution before the start of the rainy season. And remember, a shiny new donkey for whoever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya!"

"Smithers, I don't like being out-of-doors. For one thing there are too many fat children."

"I specifically requested NO romantic music!"

Bea: "Oh Monty, you're the devil himself." Burns: "WHO TOLD YO- oh, yes, of course."

But my favorite Burns moment is when he is sitting in front of all the screens in his office and the "Imperial March" from Star Wars is playing.

I like practically every exchange with Smithers, e.g. the time he thanks Smithers for making the last moments of his life personally awkward.

But the "destroy the sun" comment is the best. I love the concept of this joke and the offhand delivery.

and references mans destructive tendencies, holacausts, nukes, genocides, hitlers all that fun stuff. Burns is evil.
