I found this and thought it was pretty funny.  Sunny has always had little gems of economic insights and some girl put them all together.

It is not quite the order I would have put them in.  And there are some that I wouldn't have included.  But, the best one is the Mac and Dennis capital theory from S05E03 - The Great Recession. 

"If we just reditribute these, then people just continue to drink for free.  How does this work?  The money keeps moving in a circle. How does this work?  I thought you knew; I was following you, the other night at dave and busters...  Oh, that night.  I blacked out that night."

"We've got no money and no inventory...that's still a business somehow."

Charlie: "You don't pay for health insurance....that's craaazzzyyy" - haha I love the way they deliver their satire.

Yeah this was in Low Content a few months ago.  I was kind of surprised there wasn't more response.  I laughed out loud when I saw it.
