Where does the “I Like The Part Where...” meme come from?

The form that became a meme circulated on several 4chan forums, notably /a/, in early 2008. The first documented occurrence dates back to February 8, 2008, in a discussion about Masako Nozawa, the Japanese voice actress for Goku in the original Dragon Ball series. The exact author's name and the full wording of this comment are unknown. An older documented origin traces back to the “Last Exit to Springfield” episode of The Simpsons, aired on March 11, 1993: Bart watches a TV segment titled When Buildings Collapse and says: “The best part was when the buildings fell down”. The platform and exact air time are unknown. On YouTube, the formula is used by replacing the end with the video's obvious action; “when” is also used instead of “where”.
