This smells of a setup, so (without cheating) I'll just start by matching The Muscle's name to one of the good lines

Given the sample sizes involved, isn't this sort of like asking someone to pick the best 5 Boy Meets World episodes? aka impossible
edit (b/c every episode is super-awesome, if that wasn't already clear)
No, not really. That's an opinion question, whereas this question has answers. It's more like a quiz asked with the expectation that the answers will not fit into the preconceived notions of most people.
