The best line, IMO, isn't a humorous one.

Nice tries, but you're all wrong.

This is the clear winner:

Idk if it's considered a line...but I always loved the part when he tells Jenny

"You know what I think? I think you should go home to Greenbow, Alabama!"

I say Alabama the same way he does in that scene. Cracks my tailgate buddies up.

"If it wouldn't be such a waste of a damn-fine enlisted man I'd recommend you for OCS! You are gonna be a general someday, Gump, now disassemble your weapon and continue!"

I've always been partial to this exchange:


Lieutenant Dan: "Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?"
Forrest Gump: "I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him, sir."
