Data Put-Downs.

Let's face it. Data is the master of the p0wn.

From "Measure of a Man"

DATA: "Sir, Lieutenant LaForge's eyes are far superior to human biological eyes, true?"

PICARD: "Yes"

DATA: "Then why are not all human officers required to have their eyes replaced with cybernetic implants?"

Picard is utterly at a loss for words. We can see the confusion on his face as he struggles for an answer to this unanswerable remark. Data rises with great dignity.

DATA: (continuing) "I see. It is precisely because I am not human.

PICARD: (defeated) "That'll be all Mr. Data."
 
Let's face it. Data is the master of the p0wn.

I've always been partial to this line from the third season's 'The Ensigns of Command"

Data: "I could reduce this pumping station to a pile of debris...but I trust my point is clear. I am one android with a single weapon. There are hundreds of Sheliak on the way... and their weapons are far more powerful. And the Sheliak may not even offer you a target. They can obliterate this colony from orbit. You will die never having seen the faces of your killers."

Warmest Wishes,
Whoa Nellie
 
Data: "Does the Admiral have children, Sir?"
Picard: "I believe he does. Why?"
Data: "I am forced to wonder how much experience he had as a parent when his first child was born."
 
One of the few moments in "Code of Honor" that doesn't retard your mental development:

Data: For example, what Lutan has done is similar to what certain American Indians once did, called "counting coup." That is from an obscure language called French—
Picard: A language which for centuries on Earth represented civilization, Mister Data.
Data: Indeed?
Riker: I suggest you drop it, Mister Data.
 
Most of the stuff he said to Hobson in "Redemption", heck every last word he said to Hobson.
 
Data: "Does the Admiral have children, Sir?"
Picard: "I believe he does. Why?"
Data: "I am forced to wonder how much experience he had as a parent when his first child was born."

Another favorite of mine.
I don't recall this. What episode was this?

The Offspring. :)

From Deja Q:

Q: "Who does he think he is, giving me orders like that!"
Data: "Geordi thinks he is in command here. And he is correct."
 
Speaking to Dr. Marr after she had just destroyed the Crystalline Entity

and

"Resistance is futile!"
 
Data always made me laugh. The funniest thing was the way Brent made those quizzical faces like a dog makes when you say something they don't understand. Like "Wha?"
 
Forces of Nature (The ONLY good part in the whole thing.) When Geordi recommends phasering Spot as a training method for keeping her off the console.

Data: Geordi.....I cannot shoot my cat...
 
From Time's Arrow I think...

Riker: It's just that our mental pathways have become accustomed to your sensory input patterns.

Data: I understand. I am also fond of you, Commander. And you as well, Counselor.

:lol: I'll have to look that one up.

Neither of these probably count, but for moments where Data dishes out a big bowl of pwn, I'd say:
1: grabbing a Borg by the throat and saying through clenched teeth "Stop... stop it... STOP.. STOP IT!" has got to be on the list?

2: Insurrection, Riker's just shaved off his beard. "Smooth as an android's bottom, eh Data?"
Data strokes it, thinks about it, shakes his head and walks off :p
