Mr. Burns' favorite expression is the phrase "Excellent," ususally said in a sinister voice while steepling his fingers, said whenever something is going right for him. This phrase, as well as "Release the hounds," have become trademark expressions for the character in pop culture, with one of the two often appearing on items and collectibles based around him.
