Punctuation of direct speech, edge cases

I wrote the following into my Facebook status:

Drinking coffee with a saucer for the first time in my life and it's making me want to shout stuff like, "Dandy!" and "What a toot!"

I wasn't sure if after the Dandy! and before the and, I'm meant to put a comma.

The answer at Punctuation of direct speech, edge cases answers this: it even has an example using an exclamation mark. – Andrew Leach Nov 27 '12 at 10:55

You don't need any commas in your sentence. The one after "like" is like totally unnecessary.
