I always wondered how the actor voicing Marvin managed to get through his first line without laughing, because I never could: I think you ought to know I’m feeling very depressed.

I've occasionally used some variation of "the first [xxx amount of time] was the worst... the second was the worst too..."  
I agree he should've stopped after 3.  I remember more HHG that I could still quote today, than the high-school Shakespeare we were supposed to be memorizing

I recall a lot of it, too. I read the book a lot and listened to the radio play as well as watched the original TV show, but it really should have been a duology, after Restaurant at the End of the Universe it was the law of diminishing returns.
