* Creator/SatoruIwata always says "Directly to you" in his Nintendo Directs. (Though other Nintendo Direct hosts say this too)

* Michael Caine: "Not a lot of people know that" (actually a BeamMeUpScotty- it's from a PeterSellers spoof) and "My name is Michael Caine". Madness turned the latter into a hit record.

* BarackObama's "''YES! We can!''" It has also been used by several other democratic campaigns over the years. There is also the Spanish version (Sí se puede!).

* [[CountdownWithKeithOlbermann Keith Olbermann's news cast]] is awash with catchphrases, from the opener ("Which of ''these'' stories will ''you'' be talking about tomorrow?") to the signoff ("That's Countdown for this the ''xxxx''th day since the previous President declared 'Mission Accomplished' in Iraq. Good night, and good luck"), the last in {{Homage}} to Edward R. Murrow. In between there is "Worst Person in the woooorrrllld!!!" (which is another homage, in this case to BobAndRay).

* WalterCronkite [CBS Evening News, 1962 - 1981] ended almost every broadcast with "...And that's the way it is". He even carried it over to when he voiced a character in ''We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story''.

* The great radio broadcaster Walter Winchell (1897-1972) began every radio broadcast with "Good evening Mr. and Mrs. America from border to border and coast to coast and all the ships at sea. Let's go to press." He would then proceed to talk at 197 words PER MINUTE.

* Paris Hilton famously overuses, "That's hot."
* "AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!"
** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Hachem OI! OI! OI!]] (Interestingly, a CatchPhrase ''is'' mentioned on this page, but it has nothing to do with that little bit of responsive cheering.)

* Toy critic Michael Mozart has a couple "Really!" and "What were they thinking!"
* Difficult to categorize is Creator/AndyKaufman's [[FunnyForeigner Foreign Man]] character, who didn't understand comedy but was so enthusiastically inept that one couldn't help but feel bad for him. Anyway, his catchphrase was "Tannk You Veddy Much."

* The historian Robert Caro's epic [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning Moment of Awesome]], ''The Years of Lyndon Johnson'' has two that are used as themes throughout the books.

From ''The Fast Show'' they [[strike:nicked]] borrowed "I'll get my coat" (usually rendered as "IGMC") as a way to abruptly end a post. An even more abrupt (and usually euphemistic) ending is [NO CARRIER] or some variant.

[[http://www.worldofspectrum.org/cssfolklore/index.html The list goes on.]]

* Bruce Forsyth has a lot which all started on specific TV shows but which he then seemed to carry into everything else he ever did. Most famous are "Nice to see you, to see you...

** It shouldn't be possible for "Sir" to be a catchphrase, [[LargeHam but somehow...]]

* RingoStarr, in keeping with his NewAgeRetroHippie image, signs on with the phrase "Peace and love, peace and love." This became especially hilarious when he put up his much-derided video update telling the world not to send him any more fanmail: "I'm warning you with peace and love."
