“Hey, kids, Batman!” – Homer Simpson
“Dad, that’s not the real Batman.” – Lisa Simpson
“Of course I’m Batman.  See, here’s a picture of me with Robin.” – Adam West
“Who the hell’s Robin?” – Bart Simpson
“Oh, I guess you’re only familiar with the new Batman movies.  Michelle Pfeiffer?  Ha.  The only true Catwoman is Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, or Eartha Kitt.  And I didn’t need molded plastic to improve my physique, pure West.  And how come Batman doesn’t dance anymore?  Remember the Batusi?” – Adam West

    Oh, how I miss the days when the guest stars actually made fun of themselves…

    And to think this was 8 years before Family Guy.

      Dah, I mean 8 years before his first appearance on Family Guy.

    Yes! One of my favorite celebrity cameos of all-time. If there’s anything funnier than him saying “pure West,” it’s him saying “remember the Batusi?” This was pure genius from end-to-end.

    FG nailed him with their “Mayor West”. This was funny, but only for a cameo (The Simpsons didn’t go any further with it). On Family Guy, they milk him of jokes with the recurring character idea.

    “remember the Batusi?” is probably my most-used quote from the show

    I think around the same time, he did “Beware the Grey Ghost!” on Batman TAS. It was a pretty brilliant episode. But it wasn’t “Remember the Batusi?” brilliant.
