Funniest rapid-fire quote

Heard on "Most Extreme Elimination Challenge" (American voice-overs of a very funny Japanese game show), educators vs. outdoorsmen contest.

Woman contestant: "Peace through ignorance!"

Male announcer: "That was Audrey Salzano. She teaches world history at Sean Penn High School."

This show was filmed in Japan, and overdubbed in America with very obviously false "translations." The dialogue is rapid-fire, no stopping for humorous comprehension, no laugh-track, no-holds-barred funny. I almost wish I could watch the episode twice - once for the physical comedy of Japanese contestants getting themselves knocked silly on the obstacle course, and again for the wealth of barbs, double-entendres, and punch-lines.
