Why you little!

"Why you little!" is one of Homer's catchphrases. Most of the time, it is followed by Homer strangling Bart for whatever reason, commonly being Bart insulting Homer verbally. Once, Homer doesn't strangle Bart because he is too far away, and another time, Homer strangles Bart for no reason. On this occasion, the catchphrase is echoed (“Mona Leaves-a”). Another time, Homer eats a fire stick and tries to burn Bart while strangling him (“Father Knows Worst”). In some episodes, Homer doesn't say Why, you little! before strangling Bart, but instead says something different (i.e, in Blood Feud, when Homer learns Bart already mailed his letter to Mr Burns, he says I'll show you mad in the morning! before choking Bart.
