>>78654167This is the correct answer, but I saw this thread on the front page and I'm pleased with /co/'s taste, so now I'll have some memes of my own.
"L' Artiste d'e Morte" in its entirety is pretty good.
There is also a scene where Jay appears as a "thought bubble" being formed, as his son is thinking of him and wondering what his father's advice would be (he has a little gf in Cuba or somesuch). But after dispensing fatherly advice, Jay in the thought-bubble sniffs some food nearby and the bubble moves off-frame in a two-frame chewing motion while Pac-Man music plays. As a kid I thought that was the most ebin memes mane xDDD.
The Critic has even had an impact on early 4chan culture that I don't believe most users are aware of. The phrase "and nothing of value was lost!" itself originally derives from a Critic episode, and later became popular in the early days of 4chan itself, being used by moot himself, on banners, and other front matter IIRC. In the show, Jay's son Marty attempts to construct a statue-float of a horse for a parade for some reason, but he only succeeds in completing the horse's rear end. The piece is marched in the parade, catches fire and crashes into a Broadway production of "Cats", to which Jay cheerfully replies, "And nothing of value was lost!"
