In context, that's a strong competitor for funniest line uttered on television, period. I think it was preceded by "If I can't find a dress to wear for Col. Butler, it'll be curtains," or maybe I'm conflating it with an older joke. My nominations for funniest line on television ever would be:
"Don't blame me; I voted for Kodos."
"I'm the luckiest man on the face of the Earth, now that Lou Gehrig is dead."
As much as I hate to do it, I'll give runner-up status to "Monica: 'Hey, the camera adds ten pounds!' / Chandler: 'How many cameras are on you?'" And at that moment, "Friends" stopped being funny.
