She's spunkier than most people half her age, but Betty White turns an astonishing 90 years old today.

"I’ve been the luckiest old broad on two feet to have all the jobs that I’ve had," White said Monday night during an NBC tribute in her honor featuring Tina Fey, Ellen DeGeneres, Hugh Jackman, Mary Tyler Moore, Ed Asner, William Shatner and Carol Burnett. Even President Obama got in on the jokes, asking White in a pre-taped message, "Will you please produce a copy of your long-form birth certificate?"

When she's not busy inspiring nonagenarians to keep having fun as long as there are still birthdays to celebrate, White has a new hidden camera prank show in the works, called "Betty White's Off Their Rockers," in addition to her hit sitcom, "Hot In Cleveland."

And while White says she's "lucky" to be in demand, we're actually the ones who are lucky to have Betty. We're still chuckling over her racy "muffin" sketch on "Saturday Night Live" back in 2010 and the way she urged Jon Hamm to "back that mother up" at the Emmy Awards. And that's not even getting into all of her hilarious moments as the sweet but dim-witted Rose Nylund on "The Golden Girls."

From her "SNL" double entendres to her hit Super Bowl ad, click through our slideshow and let us know: What was Betty White's funniest line ever?

    It's supposed to be.

    This is unquestionably her in the TV series "Life With Elizabeth" in 1953

    No, just no

    There's something seriously wrong with you. First of all, this topic was choosing the funniest line that has been said by Betty White, so I'm not sure why you would even come here if you didn't like her. Second of all, she's living her life how it's supposed to be lived: young and carefree and she doesn't give a damn about what is 'okay' for someone her age to do or say. Third, who are you to say she's well past her prime? She has a lifetime achievement award, what do you have? Fourth, who decides when it's too late to do anything! I sincerely hope that if you survive till age 90, and you have a healthy libido left for someone like you when someone else comes around and tells you, you can't. Please change your SH name to Douche, it's more befitting.

    hope survive age 90 healthy libido change sh douche befitting

    Talk about nasty and rude, and totally uncalled for. He should be so lucky as to be as vivacious as she is. Atleast she has a personality, which is more than i can say for Sir Douche-alot. ; )

    I had to vote for the "muffin" line in order to comment. I always laugh when I see Betty White's performance in "The Proposal" with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. I think it is very funny when she is trying to fit Sandra's wedding gown and she cannot find Sandra's boobs. She says "I feel like I am on an easter egg hunt."

    Only Betty could deliver these lines with a straight face and perfect timing.
    I love her..
    I can only pray that I could live as long and as well as she has thus far...
    Jam on, Betty.
