Later, when Jeffis doing his "You Might Be A Redneck" jokes, Bill contributes one of his own.

** Charlie himself used it on one episode, which is lampshaded.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', [[AntiVillain Prince Zuko]] normally had a monopoly on honor related phrases (to the point where in the play version of the show, just about every line actor Zuko used had the word honor in there somewhere).

* In ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'', Buzz Lightyear's signature catch phrase "To infinity, and beyond!" has had its fair share of being used by other characters just as much as Buzz does, including, but not limited to: his teammates Mira, Booster, and XR, his enemies such as Torque [[spoiler: with Buzz's personality]], and Evil Buzz, and even friends and family of his teammates, such as Booster's father.
* ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' has had three occasions where the episode's antagonist borrowed Eustace's catchphrase of addressing Courage as "stupid dog".
** King Buffo from "Feast of the Bullfrogs" yells "Stupid dog!" as he leaves after his defeat.

He shows up at a press conference to defuse the situation and tells the crowd that the rumors are "a bunch of blathering blatherscythe", even attributing the phrase to Fenton Crackshell. Unfortunately, he doesn't realize Fenton is Gizmoduck, "blathering blatherscythe" is the phrase he uses to activate the Gizmoduck armor, and Fenton's mother is watching the televised press conference with the armor in the background. End result: the armor attaches to Launchpad, ruining his attempt to deny being Gizmoduck.
* The ''[[WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017 DuckTales]]'' reboot does this on a few occasions with [[WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck Donald]] as the subject:
** Launchpad adopts a few, lamely delivered, when Scrooge has him pretend to be Donald.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'': In "Fairy Idol", when Cosmo and Wanda quit their jobs after taking abuse from Timmy ([[EvilKnockoff actually an evil clone of him]]), Wanda calls him a "twerp" like Vicky normally does.
* A mix between this and PhraseCatcher shows up in the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Griffin Winter Games", wherein Meg actually says "Shut up, Meg" when she's competing against her former voice actress Creator/LaceyChabert in the tryouts for the Winter Olympic Biathlon.
-->'''Meg:''' Shut up, Meg!\\

** Another episode had a moment where Bender exploded; after he put himself back together, he walked in with a triumphant "Good news, everyone!" The Professor was thrown for a loop.
** Fry says "Good news, everyone!" in "Jurassic Bark," [[ActorAllusion imitating the professor's voice]].
** During the fourth movie, Fry tells Bender he can bite his shiny metal ''[[TinfoilHat hat]]''.
** After Bender's death in "The Ghost in the Machines," Hermes exhibits a graph which shows that "requests to bite one's shiny metal ass are down 98%." He's interrupted by Scruffy the Janitor's vacuum.
--->'''Hermes:''' Do you mind doing that later?
--->'''Scruffy:''' Bite my shiny metal ass.
** Cubert has done this twice and gotten a LiteralMinded reaction from his dad both times:
*** In "The Route of All Evil":
---->'''Farnsworth:''' This is my latest invention: a device that lets anyone sound exactly like me!
---->'''Cubert:''' ''(talking into it)'' "Good news, everyone. I'm a horse's butt!"

* Lampshaded in ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' when in one episode, Arnold uses Gerald's catchphrase.
-->'''Arnold:''' You know, you're a bold kid, Gerald.
-->'''Gerald:''' Hey, that's my line.
-->'''Arnold:''' Oh yeah.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/HigglytownHeroes'' episode "Twinkle Tooth", Twinkle is unable to come up with a convoluted idea on how she could get her loose tooth back from the sink drain, so the others do the honors for her, right down to them using her catchphrase "Aw, pickles!" when Fran points out the one fatal flaw in their idea - there are no whales in the sink drain.
* Penny from ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' uses her uncle's "Wowsers" once or twice, thought it's usually not PlayedForLaughs when ''she'' does it.
* In a few episodes of ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'', Tohru said Uncle's "Aieeya!" when something went wrong for him.
** Jade eventually started copying Jackie's "bad day" when having an OhCrap moment.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Jabberjaw}}'' considered it plagiarism when someone other than him complained about [[DudeWheresMyRespect lack of respect]], which is ironic since it was [[Creator/RodneyDangerfield a borrowed catchphrase to begin with]]
* Normally, when ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' does a parody, Johnny's the one to catch on with a "Now where have I seen this before?", but in the Literature/TheCatInTheHat parody, when Bling-2 shows up, Dukey delivers the line.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': In the episode "Let's Play Golf", Kaeloo uses one of [[TheDitz Stumpy]]'s own catchphrases when talking to him [[HypocriticalHumor ("Are you stupid or what?")]].
** In another episode, Kaeloo uses Stumpy's "I hate your guts" catchphrase on Mr. Cat (though it's more for comedic effect than actual hatred).
* In the ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' episode "Lucky See, Monkey Do", when Bobby sees how ridiculous lives the kids of Lucky's sister live, he says [[LikeFatherLikeSon "Those boys ain't right."]]
** In the episode "Bystand Me," Peggy starts writing a column about household hints. She tells her latest column to Hank, where she told her readers to mix pneumonia and bleach to clean their bathroom fixtures. When Hank tells her that that's the recipe for ''mustard gas,'' Peggy lets out Hank's trademark "Bwahhh!"
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' asserts that Yoko won't be a problem after all the other villains that had been [[Creator/DwayneJohnson smacked down.]] Funny given she isn't a wrestling fan. (Though Ron is, so she probably cribbed it from ''him''.)
** In "Oh No! Yono!", Ron shows his parents baby Hana's karate skills, and he borrows the phrase they use whenever they drop a life-changing bombshell on him.
-->'''Ron:''' This is my way of telling you.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' has [[FaceHeelTurn Zhu Li]] using Varrick's phrase "Do the thing" against him when he gets arrested.

--> '''Bolin:''' Will you "do the thing" [[spoiler: forever]]?
* In a couple of WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes shorts Daffy Duck uses Sylvester's catchphrase "Sufferin' Succotash!".
** On a episode of the game show ''Series/PressYourLuck'', one of the questions was which character used that catchphrase. The show had Daffy as the correct answer, which was incorrect. All three contestants were invited to come back on the show because of this, and in the next episode Creator/MelBlanc called in as Sylvester and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxDLzg2ubDU complained that Daffy was always stealing from him.]]
** At the end of "Rabbit Transit", when Cecil Turtle's trick on Bugs causes Bugs to get arrested for speeding, Cecil is the one who says "Ain't I a stinker?".
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'':
** In "Potty Mouth", Lisa is [[GooGooGetup disguised as baby Lily]] and says Lily's catchphrase "Poo-poo!".
** In "Cover Girls", Lincoln says Lily's "Poo-poo" catchphrase as a synonym for OhCrap when he [[ItMakesSenseInContext has to play video games with his classmates dressed as Lily]].
** When Leni is pretending to be Lori in "Change of Heart", she says Lori's "literally" catchphrase, as does Lynn when she's pretending to be Lori over the phone in "Sitting Bull".
** In "[[ThanksgivingEpisode The Loudest Thanksgiving]]", ''all'' members of the Loud, Santiago, and Casagrande families say, "Let's do this!" (which is usually Lincoln's line) except for Lori, Bobby, and Lily.
* In the episode "Friend In Deed" in ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'', Rabbit once borrowed Christopher Robin's "Silly old bear." And yes, he used it with the same amount of endurance.
** A non-verbal example, Roo has also bounced a couple of characters just like his idol, Tigger.
** Roo has also imitated Tigger’s “hoo hoo, hoo hoo” a couple times.
* ''WesternAnimation/PegPlusCat'':
** Downplayed in "The Doohickey Problem" when Cat says, "I doohickey what I can", which resembles Ramone's catchphrase "I do what I can."
** In "The Beethoven Problem", Peg ''does'' say her catchphrases "Really big problem" and "Cat's right, we should count backwards from five to calm down", but Beethoven says them [[SpeakInUnison along with her]] and, in the case of the former, so does Cat.
** In "The Halloween Problem", Richard instead of Peg says that he's got a big problem and then later, he's the one who brings up counting backwards instead of Peg.
** In "The Cleopatra Problem", Cleopatra says Peg's "totally freaking out" catchphrase with her.
** In "Yet Another Tree Problem", Cat's the one to say that he's "totally freaking out" instead of Peg. He also says, "You're a genius" which, again, is usually Peg's line.
** Usually, it's Peg and/or Cat who sing the "Problem Solved" song, but in "I Do What I Can: the Musical", it's the singers who sing it.
** In "The Girl Group Problem", Aki says, "Really big problem" instead of Peg, then all the girls say, "totally freaking out".
* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'':
** The episode "Hail, Doofania!" does a role reversal for the title characters and Dr. Doofenschmirtz, so Phineas delivers Doof's "Behold, the (Subject)-inator!", "...the ENTIRE TRI-STATE AREA!" and "Bless you, Perry the Platypus!", while Doofenshmirtz does Phineas's "I know what we're going to do today!", "Aren't you a little old to be..." "No. No I'm not" and "Oh, there you are, Perry." His daughter also takes on Candace's role, including her outfit (there was a mix-up at the laundromat) and catchphrase "Mom! Mom! You gotta see this!" And even her mother assumes Candace's mother's role, right down to her saying, "I think it's time you got out of the sun for a while."
** Vanessa adapts her father's catchphrase in another episode when she says "Thank you, Perry the Platypus!"
** Isabella's catchphrase "Whatcha doooin'?" is borrowed by a few other characters, but [[HeyThatsMyLine she's very protective of it]]. She elbows Buford in the ribs when he starts to say it in "Out of Toon", she acts visibly irritated when Suzy and Candace use it to Phineas in "Suddenly Suzy", and [[MySignificanceSenseIsTingling she can sense Candace using it from across town]] in "Phineas and Ferb's Christmas Vacation". However, she doesn't mind when Phineas says it to her in "I Scream, You Scream", "That Sinking Feeling" and "At the Car Wash", and Phineas even alters it as "Whatcha waaatchin'?" in "Run Away Runway".
*** In a RealLife example, the cast does this in the final panel; HilarityEnsues.
* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'': Benson once used a particularly long "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" when getting fired by his new boss whom he detests.
* In ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'', while laying in bed during a nervous breakdown in "She's the Toad", Ed Bighead says "Garbage day is a very dangerous day", echoing Rocko's usual "(blank) day is a very dangerous day" catchphrase.
* At the end of the "Treasure of Monte Zoom" arc in ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'', Natasha Fatale borrows Boris Badenov's catchphrase of telling her "Shaddup your mouth!"
* Twice in ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'':
** In her intro episode, the Scotsman's wife tells the Scotsman to "shut it!" (which is the Scotsman's catchphrase). He responds with "yes, dear."
** Ashi borrows Aku's catchphrase in episode 4 of season 5 when she rants to Jack.
* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'':
** ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyAndScrappyDooShow'' episode "No Thanks, Masked Manx" ended with Shaggy emulating Scooby's catchphrase of "Scooby Dooby Doo" by exclaiming "Shaggy Shaggy Doo".
** ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'':
*** In "The Wild Brood, when the Gang unmasks that episode's MonsterOfTheWeek and finds that it's someone they don't recognize, the episode's supporting characters (who ''do'' recognize the guy under the mask) end up delivering the Gang's trademark [[OnceAnEpisode synchronized announcement of the villain's identity]].
*** Also in "Dead Justice", after the Gang helps Sheriff Stone collar the MonsterOfTheWeek:
-->'''Fred:''' Y'know, Dad, [[spoiler: Bucky]] [[PhraseCatcher would've gotten away with it, if it weren't for us meddling kids]]! [[WellDoneSonGuy Maybe a "Thank you" would be, uh...]]
** Three examples occur in the ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'' episode "A Terrifying Round with a Menacing Metallic Clown": first Shaggy says, "Jinkies" (which is Velma's catchphrase), then he says, "Let's set a trap" (which is usually what Fred says), then Velma joins in on the catchphrase-stealing and says, "[[LikeIsLikeAComma Like]]" (which Shaggy is known for saying).
* Throughout the first season of ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'', [[EvilFormerFriend Catra]] would sarcastically greet her ex-friend with a mocking and flirtatious "Hey, Adora." Adora gets to return the favor in the season two premiere, saying it to a camera that Catra and her allies were watching a battle from before destroying it.
** Double Trouble gets in on the action fairly spectacularly. [[ShapeshifterGuiltTrip They transform into Adora to say,]] "Hey, Catra", and in the same scene, [[spoiler:they become [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal Scorpia]] to deliver a brutal verbal blow by calling Catra, [[AffectionateNickname "Wildcat"]]]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** Throughout the show, when things go south, members of the Simpson family tend to borrow their patriarch's "D'oh!" Rare occasions have other characters, such as Krusty and Mr. Burns, use it.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS1E10HomersNightOut Homer's Night Out]]", when Homer realizes Bart took a photo of him dancing with Princess Kashmir, he prepares to strangle him with his trademark "Why, you little...!" But [[CatchPhraseInterruptus he's interrupted]] by Marge shouting "Why, you big...!" and trying to strangle Homer.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E25SummerOf4Ft2 Summer of 4 Ft. 2]]", to impress her new friends, Lisa said "Don't Have a Cow, Man!" and "Ay, Caramba!", two of Bart's catchphrases. As of this episode, they became Lisa's catchphrases.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E17LisaTheSimpson Lisa the Simpson]]", Lisa worries that her genetics will lead to her becoming as dumb as Homer. When she learns that it's only ''male'' Simpsons who carry the dumb gene, and subsequently solves the puzzle she's been stuck on all episode, she lets out a Homeresque "Woo-hoo!" before catching herself.
** Homer Simpson's "D'oh" in itself was borrowed from somebody else, namely actor James Finlayson from the Creator/LaurelAndHardy series, who used to say it in a very long outstretched way, more like "D'oooooooooooooooooooh". It was shortened because things have to go a lot quicker in animation.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E10MiracleOnEvergreenTerrace Miracle on Evergreen Terrace]]", it's Lisa, rather than Homer, who shouts "Why you little--!" and strangles Bart.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E25NaturalBornKissers Natural Born Kissers]]", Moe borrows Helen Lovejoy's "Won't someone [[ThinkOfTheChildren think of the children]]?" line.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS11E10LittleBigMom Little Big Mom]]", after tricking Homer and Bart into thinking they have leprosy, Lisa utters Mr. Burns' "Excellent," while tenting her fingers like he does when saying it.
** Multiple cross-show examples appear in [[Recap/FamilyGuyS13E1TheSimpsonsGuy the Family Guy crossover]], including Homer responding to Peter's "Woohoo!" with a kick to the face and a "Road House!"
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS13E3HomerTheMoe Homer the Moe]]", [[Music/{{REM}} Michael Stipe]] borrows Homer's "Mmm, [food item]..." while eating tofu turkey, saying "Mmm, curds..."
** Nelson's "Haw-haw!" has been used by other characters on ocassion.
*** Lisa uses it towards Bart when he has to sit next to Nelson on the bus in "The Haw-Hawed Couple".
*** In "The Wreck of the Relationship", Martin somehow manages to [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome beat up Nelson]]. Standing over him, he proclaims, "It is ''I'' who wears the vest! Haw-haw!"
*** In "Stealing First Base", Nelson encourages another student to laugh at a girl for having kissed Bart. The student does so, although slightly confused. Nelson is still very satisfied. Later, he nails it perfectly, to Nelson's amazement.
*** Reverend Lovejoy does it to Bart in "500 Keys", after his attempts to cause trouble only end up helping everyone instead.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** A couple of times Stan and Kenny have said Cartman's "Screw you guys, I'm going home!"
** There have been instances where Stan and Kyle's usual "Oh my god! They killed Kenny!" "You bastards!" is taken by other characters:
*** In "[[Recap/SouthParkS3E14TheRedBadgeOfGayness The Red Badge of Gayness]]", when Kenny got killed, Grandpa Marsh yelled "You bastard!" which Kyle responded with an annoyed "Hey!"
*** In "[[Recap/SouthParkS2E18PrehistoricIceMan Prehistoric Ice Man]]", Cartman causes Kyle to fall into a hole. Stan tells him "Great job, fatass, you killed Kyle!" and Kenny followed with a muffled "You bastard!"
*** In "[[Recap/SouthParkS2E12Clubhouses Clubhouses]]" Cartman is the one to say the "Oh my god! They Killed Kenny!" line, while Kyle finishes it by randomly walking past and shouting "You Bastards!"
** In [[Recap/SouthParkS4E2CartmansSillyHateCrime2000 "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000"]], when Stan and Kyle declare Clyde the new "fat kid" in order to replace Cartman for [[BattleOfTheSexes the upcoming sled race against the girls]], Clyde says Cartman's old catchphrase word for word:
-->'''Clyde''': For the last time, I'm not fat, ''so stop calling me fat'', '''GODDAMMIT!''' (Covers his mouth when he realizes he's beginning to act like Cartman)
** In "[[Recap/SouthParkS16E11GoingNative Going Native]]", Cartman borrows Butters' "Fellas! FELLAS!"
* From the ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "Return of the Spider-Slayers":
-->'''Spider-Man:''' I hate to borrow someone else's line, but... it's clobberin' time!
* In ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Zeb's]] favorite curse word is "[[PardonMyKlingon Karabast]]." Season 2 shows that [[KidHero Ezra]] had picked up on using it.
* This occurs at the end of ''WesternAnimation/TurtlesForever'', as the 1988 and 2003 turtles say goodbye to each other by trading catchphrases. Another example occurs in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'' episode "Turtle X-Tinction", where Serling uses the phrase "It's Serling time" -- borrowed from the turtles' own "It's ninja time!" -- before embarking on his mad dash to save Cody.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'':
** Emily borrows Thomas' "Cinders and ashes!" in "Tickled Pink" when she sees James' pink undercoat.
** Henry borrows Gordon's "Express coming through!" in "Henry Gets the Express" while pulling the express coaches. Gordon lampshades it: "[[HeyThatsMyLine But...that's my line!]]"
** Gordon's "Oh, the indignaty!" is said by Sir Topham Hatt in "Buckled Tracks and Bumpy Cars". Again, Gordon lampshades it.
** Percy borrows ''the narrator's'' "and then there was trouble" in "Reds vs Blues".
* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'': Not necessarily a catchphrase, but Butch the black cat has used Tom's signature [[StockScream Stock Screams]] in the handful of episodes he appeared in after suffering an injury.
* Borrowed (and altered) catchphrase as a show title: ''[[Series/ToTellTheTruth Will The Real]] Creator/JerryLewis [[Series/ToTellTheTruth Please Sit Down?]]''
* ''WesternAnimation/XavierRiddleAndTheSecretMuseum'': In "We Are the Wright Brothers", Brad says Xavier's Catchphrase — "To the Secret Museum!"
* Yogi Bear makes a swipe using his signature rhyming in ''WesternAnimation/YogisTreasureHunt'', with apologies to Mr. B. Bunny:
-->'''Yogi:''' At the risk of stealing a line most appealing: "What's up, Doc?"
* On ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice,'' M'gann's "Hello, Megan!" line is revealed to be from an old, forgotten sitcom that she watched growing up. Wally, in turn, borrows it twice: as playful ribbing in "Image" and legitimately in "Failsafe." (The latter turns out to be FridgeBrilliance when you find out [[spoiler:that the Team are unknowingly mind-linked and that M'gann's PsychicPowers are accidentally brainwashing them all]]).
** By the third season, about seven years have passed in-series, and all of the characters have picked up each others' catchphrases as a sort of in-joke. Artemis says "Hello, Megan!" when she realizes things and Oracle uses Impulse's FutureSlang when she discovers things. Even ''Superman'' gets caught using one of Nightwing's early backformations and confusing the ''hell'' out of the Justice League when he tells them to "Stay whelmed."
[[/folder]]

If the catch phrase is a VerbalTic, this is GotMeDoingIt.

If the catch phrase is less wanted than wordtaken out of the other character, it's HeyThatsMyLine. See also OneLinerEcho, PhraseCatcher and SharePhrase.

!!Examples:

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* In ''Series/TheAdventuresOfSuperman'', ComicBook/JimmyOlsen, after being appointed editor for a day, uses Perry White's CatchPhrase "Don't call me Chief!" on Perry.
* In ''Series/AlloAllo'' one of the [[RunningGag Running Gags]] involved Leclerc entering the café in a PaperThinDisguise, and then, as if it was a big reveal, raising his glasses and whisper "Psst! It is I -- Leclerc." Then, when Mme. Edith had to disguise herself:
-->'''Edith:''' Psst! ''[raises her glasses]'' It is I -- Leclerc.\\
'''Leclerc:''' Hey! What are you playing at? ''[raises his glasses]'' It is '''I''' - Leclerc.
* This is a CharacteristicTrope on ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'':
** "I've made a huge mistake", GOB's catchphrase (and motto, practically), is also used by Marta (when she realises she likes Michael, not GOB), Michael (when he realises that "hermano" is Spanish for "brother" and the one Marta likes is him), George (when he regrets his affair with Kitty in Mexico), Steve Holt (when he realises he [[spoiler:slept with Maeby, his cousin (he didn't actually sleep with her)]]), and Lucille (when she realises that [[spoiler:her grand plan is about to fall apart]] in the finale).
** Michael's reaction of "Her?" to his son's bland girlfriend, Ann is shared with the rest of the family.
** After Gob fails his fire trick in front of [[spoiler:the mentally retarded]] Rita, her response is an astonished "But wherever did [the lighter fluid] come from?"
** Maeby's standard deflection of "Marry me!" was borrowed by Michael (to use on a woman he suspected to be his long-lost sister), and GOB (when [[spoiler:Ann agrees to give GOB some space in Season 4. Unluckily, she takes it literally]]).
** Oscar's "...dot com" following his cries of "I'm Oscar!" was later borrowed by [[spoiler:the Saddam Hussein impersonator sent to trial in his place with "I'm No-Scar! ...dot com!"]].
** Steve Holt's catchphrase of "STEVE HOLT!" was apparently borrowed from his mother, "EVE HOLT!"
** "The very fact that you call it that tells me you're not ready" in response to the phrase "Pop-pop" was used approximately once a season.
* ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' plays this for drama in the first season finale, as Moira uses Oliver's CatchPhrase to describe herself when opening the press conference [[spoiler: exposing [[BigBad Malcolm]]'s plans]]:
-->"My name is Moira Dearden Queen, and God help me, [[ArcWords I have failed this city]]."
* ''Series/AshesToAshes2008'': The catchphrase "You are surrounded by armed bastards!" belongs to Gene Hunt, but Jackie Queen, upon [[TookALevelInBadass leveling in badass]] borrows it in 2.04.
* ''Series/TheATeam'': Other characters occasionally use Hannibal's "I love it when a plan comes together."
* ''Series/{{Bunkd}}'': In the Season 2 finale "We Didn't Start the Fire", after Hazel was demoted to CIT for being found responsible for the cabins catching fire, Ravi and Emma utter Hazel's SignatureLaugh, "Ha-ha!".
* ''Franchise/{{Buffyverse}}'':
** On ''Angel'', after making a violent prison escape, Faith asks if Wesley's okay. His response: "Five by five."
** In ''Buffy'', this is also how the audience realises [[FreakyFridayFlip Faith and Buffy have swapped bodies]] when Buffy says "[[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay Five by five]]".
** In Season 8 of ''Buffy'', the titular character calls Twilight an ass clown.
* ''Series/{{Castle}}'': in "The Final Nail" when Beckett tells Castle that a suspect's alibi checks out, Castle replies with Beckett's usual phrase, "Shut the front door!"
* The Mexican sitcom ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'' would sometimes have a musical number near the end of the episode. In "Oyelo, Escuchalo", at one point Quico says "Eso, eso, eso, eso", one of El Chavo's catchphrases.
* In an episode of ''Series/{{Community}}'' when Jeff has to move into Abed's dorm. After awhile living there, Jeff borrows Abed's catchphrase "Cool, cool, cool".
** This happens to Abed again when Annie pretends to be him in the Dreamatorium.
* Late in the run of ''Classic Series/{{Concentration}}'', contestants would say [[Series/WheelOfFortune "I'd like to solve the puzzle."]]
* They're only catchphrases in this one episode, but in the ''Series/{{Coupling}}'' season 2 finale "The End of the Line", the first evidence that Susan and Steve's relationship is in trouble is that she complains he never makes a decision, just saying "It's up to you", and he complains that every time he moves she asks him where he's going. At the end of the episode, when Susan leaves, Steve asks where she's going, and gets the reply "It's up to you."
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** You '''know''' it's a grim episode on those very, very few occasions when the ''Doctor'' (Nine in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E6Dalek "Dalek"]] and Twelve in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E1TheMagiciansApprentice "The Magician's Apprentice"]]) borrows the ''Dalek'' CatchPhrase of "Exterminate!"
*** Eleven also borrows it in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E3VictoryOfTheDaleks "Victory of the Daleks"]] while trying to persuade Winston Churchill that the "Ironsides" he's using as secret weapons (read: Daleks) are actually dangerous aliens.
** [[Recap/DoctorWho2005CSTheChristmasInvasion "The Christmas Invasion"]]: At the end, Ten uses Nine's "Fantastic" while reassuring Rose about the adventures they can go on.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E7TheIdiotsLantern "The Idiot's Lantern"]]: "I'm sorry... so sorry", which is usually said by Ten, is said by Mr. Magpie when [[spoiler:Rose is attacked by the Wire]].
** Both Martha and Rose use the Tenth Doctor's "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" at least once apiece.
** When Capt. Jack [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E11Utopia returns]] in Series 3, he uses the Ninth Doctor's "Fan''tas''tic!" when talking to the Tenth Doctor, who grins fondly.
** Played one hell of a lot more darkly in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E10Midnight "Midnight"]]. [[spoiler:The alien stealing the Doctor's voice, and with it his habit of saying, "Molto bene!" is all that gives it away and saves him from a horrible death.]] When Donna quotes it back at him at the end, his "No... no, don't do that" is less "RunningGag" and more "[[BreakTheCutie PTSD symptom]]".
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E11TurnLeft "Turn Left"]]: [[spoiler:Rose Tyler]], taking the role of the Doctor [[spoiler:because she's in a BadPresent where he's dead]], says "I'm sorry... ''so'' sorry..." to [[spoiler:Donna Noble while explaining she's going to have to die in order to reset the timeline back to normal]].
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E7AGoodManGoesToWar "A Good Man Goes to War"]]: [[spoiler:Sontaran Strax's]] last words are "I'm a nurse." Said to Rory.
** When River [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E8SilenceInTheLibrary meets]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E9ForestOfTheDead the Doctor]] [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble early/late on]], she introduces him to "Spoilers!". [[TimeyWimeyBall Later]]/[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E8LetsKillHitler earlier]]:
--->'''[[spoiler:Melody]]/River:''' Who's River Song?\\
'''The Doctor:''' [[StableTimeLoop Spoilers]].
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E13TheWeddingOfRiverSong "The Wedding of River Song"]]: When Amy [[spoiler:kills Madame Kovarian,]] she says "River didn't get it all from you, ''sweetie''", borrowing River's VerbalTic.
** This exchange in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E1AsylumOfTheDaleks "Asylum of the Daleks"]]:
--->'''The Doctor:''' Don't be scared, Amy.\\
'''Amy:''' Who's scared? Geronimo.
** The Eleventh Doctor borrows Ten's "Allons-y" while struggling with the Cybermen taking over his head in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E12NightmareInSilver "Nightmare in Silver"]].
** When River ''finally'' figures out the strange man who's been accompanying her in [[Recap/DoctorWho2015CSTheHusbandsOfRiverSong "The Husbands of River Song"]] is an incarnation of the Doctor she's never seen before, he says "Hello, sweetie" to her.
* In ''Series/TheFallAndRiseOfReginaldPerrin'', the head of Sunshine Desserts has two yes-men: hip groovy Tony who constantly says "Great!", and neurotic David who constantly says "Super!" After Sunshine crumbles, they react thus to being reunited at Grot:
-->'''David:''' ''[dismayed]'' Great.\\
'''Tony:''' ''[dismayed]'' Super.
* In an episode of ''Series/FamilyMatters'', when Laura accidentally causes Steve Urkel's car to break down, Steve glares at Laura as she says, "Did I do that?"
* In ''Series/FawltyTowers'', "He's from Barcelona" is Basil's catch-all way of explaining Manuel's shortcomings. In [[Recap/FawltyTowersS2E6BasilTheRat the final episode]], it's Sybil who says it.
* ''Series/{{Friends}}'': Rachel (and a few others) have borrowed Joey's pickup line, "How you doin'?" upon occasion. In one episode, Monica says Rachel's "Nooooooooo" catchphrase, immediately followed by Rachel saying Monica's "I knowwwww!" catchphrase. Chandler's habit of enunciating incorrectly "Could that report BE any later?" is more commonly used by his friends to tease him than by Chandler himself. Also, Ross's sullen "Hi" was said by Chandler when he and Ross were miserable after being bullied.
* ''Series/GetSmart'':
** A commercial for the show promoted the "Catchphrase Redistribution Service", showing a montage of scenes of other characters saying Max's catchphrases.
** In one episode, 99 says, "Sorry about that" instead of Max.
** In one episode, this other guy is following Max around and is interested in his job. He keeps borrowing Max's "the old X trick" catchphrase, which annoys Max.
* ''Series/HappyDays'':
** Mrs. Cunningham would, very occasionally and when she ''really'' thought he was in the wrong, tell Fonzie to "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BtALkegKQQ sit on it]]." (Normally, the catchphrase was used by all the teen characters on the show, but not by the parents and NEVER to Fonzie.)
** There is a scene where someone brings an embarrassing document (an old yearbook photo, or something) to the dinner table. Marion put it on her seat, sits down, and continues eating. Husband Howard says "That's right, Marion. Sit on it."
* In ''Series/HappyEndings'', Brad tries to make the term "chicksand" catch on. Max thinks it's stupid until the end.
-->'''Max:''' You drowned, bro, in chicksand. I like it and I'm taking credit for it.
* PlayedWith in ''Series/HogansHeroes'', when at one point Newkirk says "Formidable" while [=LeBeau=] says "Ruddy marvelous". Next second, they're both looking at the other [[HeyThatsMyLine with funny looks on their faces]].
* In ''Series/{{House}}'', Tritter uses House's {{Catchphrase}} "Everybody lies". Possibly done in order to emphasize that Tritter and House aren't so different.
* ''Series/HouseOfAnubis'' had many characters borrow Victor's famous pin-drop speech. Fabian did it once in the school play (where he was playing Victor, of course) and he did it again with Patricia and Alfie when they [[spoiler:became sinners]].
-->'''Fabian:''' It is ten o'clock!\\
'''Patricia:''' You have five minutes...\\
'''Alfie:''' And then I want to hear you all drop.
* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'': Mildly [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]]:
-->'''Ted:''' Permission to say "Lawyered"?\\
'''Marshall:''' I'll allow it.\\
'''Ted:''' Lawyered!
* In something of an inversion, Rio in ''Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger'' borrows Jan's VerbalTic during his HeelFaceTurn, to which Jan only chuckles.
* ''Franchise/KamenRider'':
** Done multiple times in ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'':
*** In the ''Final Chapter'' finale movie, Decade activates the Final Form Ride -- All Riders, allowing the rest of the Riders to transform into their Final Form Rides (basically, a good guy version of OneWingedAngel). To do so, however, the Riders have to line up behind each other and activate the transformation of the one in front of them. They ''all'' say one of Decade's {{catchphrase}} throughout the whole sequence: "[[PainfulTransformation This will]] [[BodyHorror tickle a bit]]." HilarityEnsues.
*** In the TV series (specifically, the [[Series/KamenRiderHibiki Hibiki]] arc), [[TheRival Diend]] performs the requisite NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech, usually given by Decade. When Decade comments on the theft, Diend completes it by taking another of his catchphrases:
--->''"I was a [[IWasJustPassingThrough passing-through]] Kamen Rider long before you came along! Remember that!"''
*** And when attempting to {{Power Copy|ing}} Series/KamenRiderDenO's attacks, Decade ends up performing Den-O's ''catchphrases'' instead.
** In ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'', other characters would sometimes borrow Gentaro's "Uchuu kitaaa!" ("Space is heeere!", usually translated "It's space tiiime!") and occasionally replace "uchuu"/"space" with something else relevant to the situation. At the very least, they may be in the background shouting it with him when he transforms.
** One of ''Series/KamenRiderGaim'''s movies had the main characters use powerups based on previous Riders. Each of the Riders used their predecessor's catchphrases... until the end:
--->'''Gaim:''' [[Series/KamenRiderWizard It's showtime!]]\\
'''Ryugen:''' [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Now, count up your crimes!]]\\
'''Baron:''' [[Series/KamenRiderOOO Seiya!]]\\
'''Zangetsu:''' [[Series/KamenRiderFourze Uchuu ki]]... and that's as far as I'm willing to humor ''that'' notion.
** [[Series/KamenRiderExAid Ex-Aid's]] catchphrases, "I'll clear this with no continues" and "I'll change the patient's fate with my own hands!" gets twisted by two villains - first by Parad ("I'll change the fate of Bugsters with my own hands!"), and later by [[spoiler: Shin]] Dan Kuroto ("I'll clear this, even if I have to use continues!")[[labelnote:spoiler explanation]]When Kuroto does use this catch phrase, he's been revived as a bugster with 99 extra lives; fortunately, he's on the side of the heroes by this point[[/labelnote]].
* In the ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' TrappedInTVLand episode, the sitcom versions of Nate and Behran have the catchphrase "On the other hand ... why not?" before they do something stupid, much to the irritation of WomenAreWiser Zari. Once their memories are restored and [[spoiler: Charlie]] is pleading with them to stay in TV Land because if they return to the real world they'll be killed, the [[ItMakesSenseInContext two Zaris]] look at Nate and Behran, then turn and say "On the other hand..." "...why not?"
* Everyone on the ''Series/{{Leverage}}'' has repeated Hardison's "Seriously?!" at some point.
** Nearly every catchphrase gets borrowed repeatedly, mostly because the writers loved seeing the actors make it their own (with Seriously?! being their favorite).
* ''Series/{{Lost}}'':
** After [[spoiler:Ben Linus]] is clubbed with an oar:
--->'''Frank Lapidus:''' I thought you said you trusted that guy!\\
'''Sun:''' [[spoiler:ILied.]]
** In season 6, after Jack and Desmond [[spoiler:bring back the light]]:
--->'''Desmond:''' But what about you, Jack?\\
'''Jack:''' I'll see you in another life, brother.
** Actually, it happens [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fHQQZXe88c twice]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycEv9QU0chU brotha]].
** Sawyer's old standby, "Son of a bitch!" has been borrowed by Jack, Hurley, and Bernard, among others.
* In ''Series/MrYoung'', Mrs. Byrne borrows Dang's "You called?" in "Mr. Alligator" when Derby says he's looking for a scaly, leathery, prehistoric beast.
* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'': Many catchphrases originated by the character of Joel Robinson (e.g. "I'm weird, which results in creativity", "Wha' happa?", "What do you think, sirs?") became {{Running Gag}}s when other characters picked them up later.
* ''Series/TheNanny'': In "Franny And The Professor", [[GameShowAppearance Fran Fine goes on]] ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'', and during "Final Jeopardy!", Creator/AlexTrebek is trying to show Fran's response to the "Final Jeopardy!" question [[SeinfeldianConversation when she goes into a tangent about how she came up with her response]], leading Alex to shout "MISS FINE!" in exasperation, [[PhraseCatcher something that Maxwell Sheffield usually does]].
* In the ''Series/OneFootInTheGrave'' episode "The Futility of the Fly", the West End backer looking at a play based on the Meldrews complained about the string of {{Contrived Coincidence}}s and [[RiddleForTheAges unexplained incidents]]. His final verdict was "I don't ''believe'' it."
* In ''Series/PersonOfInterest'' while there are a few minor examples, there are a couple of particularly dramatic ones. Reese reverses [[BenevolentAI The Machine's]] catchphrase "Can you hear me?" at a time when The Machine was [[spoiler: going into shutdown]]. Finch borrows Root's catchphrase "I wasn't talking to you." But while Root almost always used it comedically, as one of the traits that made her appear crazy, Finch uses it seriously. [[spoiler:He was also talking to and threatening Samaritan, while Root is always saying it to The Machine.]]
* ''Series/PushingDaisies'':
** Both Olive and the Narrator have said Emerson Cod's catchphrase of "Oh, hell no!"
** And at another point, an incidental character borrows the catch phrase of the Narrator:
--->'''Rob Wright:''' I know how it must sound, but the facts were these...\\
'''Chuck:''' Huh?\\
'''Rob Wright:''' These were the facts...
* ''Series/RedDwarf'':
** Rimmer adopts [[AlternateUniverse Ace Rimmer's]] catchphrase 'Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast' when he has to take over Ace's life. He says it when leaving the ship, and mangles it completely.
** Subverted when Lister fails to teach Kryten to call Rimmer his catchphrase of "smeghead". He says "smeerr hee" instead because of his built-in censorship. It's later played straight when he eventually breaks it.
** Lister has also used Rimmer's catchphrases to make fun of him, such as 'up the ziggurat, lickety-split'.
* ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'':
** When Kramer and Jerry trade apartments, Jerry started talking about "Bob Sacamano" as Kramer usually does, while [[{{Cuckoosnarker}} Kramer responds]] to George's complaint that Jerry has become more like Kramer with Jerry's "That's a shame."
** In another episode, Jerry dates a woman who is essentially a female version of himself. He starts getting creeped out when she uses "[[BeamMeUpScotty What's the deal with...?]]" and "That's a shame."
** A nonverbal variation when Elaine tells Jerry about her new job with the J. Peterman catalogue: he gives her her trademark "Get out!" shove, but without the line.
* ''Series/StargateSG1'' seems to trade catch phrases more often than a group of elementary schoolers trade ''TabletopGame/{{Pokemon}}'' cards. Notably, an alien boy who latches on to Jack complains "Oh, for crying out loud!" at least once, as does pretty much everyone else. Sam apparently picked up her early catchphrase "Holy Hannah" from her father. The final scene of Season 10 has the whole team (except Teal'c) ending a conversation with exclaiming Teal'c's catchphrase "Indeed". This makes this trope the second to last line in the series.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** Dr. [=McCoy's=] "ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder" has been used by other characters throughout the franchise, especially the [[Series/StarTrekVoyager Emergency Medical Hologram]].
** In "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E2WhoMournsForAdonais Who Mourns For Adonais]]" from ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', when Mr. Spock wasn't part of the landing party:
--->'''[=McCoy=]:''' To coin a phrase... fascinating.
** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'':
*** In "Hero Worship", a little boy emulates Data and says his catchphrases "I am operating within normal parameters" and "That is correct."
*** In "The Offspring", Lal, Data's "daughter", says, "I am operating within normal parameters", but eventually gives it up in favour of "I am fine."
*** Any member of the crew acting as the commanding officer in Picard's place will use his catchphrase "Make it so."
** On ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'', Saru attempts to come up with his own catchphrase. Tilly suggests that he use Captain Pike's "Hit it" but put his own spin on it; it fails, and he goes back to finding one of his own.
** The Klingon warlord T'Kuvma is fond of saying "tlhIngan maH! taHjaj!" which means "Remain Klingon! or "We are Klingons! Let it remain!" After his death, it gets appropriated by his disciples Voq and L'Rell.
* In ''Series/That70sShow'', when Eric refuses Donna's plea to get back together, after having pined for her all season, Kitty calls him a "dumbass", which is normally Red's catchphrase.
* When James May does his first track test on ''Series/TopGear'', they send him out in the Pagani Zonda F Roadster, a supercar that is insane by even supercar standards. He borrows Clarkson's catchphrase for the occasion:
-->'''May:''' ''[voiceover]'' I think I know what to do at this point. ''[amidst engine noises]'' '''POWEEERRRRRRR'''!
* In ''Series/TrueJacksonVP'' every main character borrows True's "You said what now?!" catchphrase at least once.
* In ''Series/WhatILikeAboutYou'', Ben very hilariously uses Gary's "oh my damn".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]

** In ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Battle Tendency]]'', Eisidisi uses Joseph's "Your next line is..." mind trick against him, prompting Joseph to get peeved over falling for his own trick.

* Giorno Giovanna of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind'' seems to have inherited his father's battlecries of "MUDA MUDA" as well as "WRRRYYYY" for no reason other than the fact that [[RapidFireFisticuffs punching things really fast]] [[{{Kiai}} while screaming]] appears to be a genetic trait of [[TangledFamilyTree the Joestar family tree]].

** The episode "Hail, Doofania!" does a role reversal for the title characters and Dr. Doofenschmirtz, so Phineas delivers Doof's "...the ENTIRE TRI-STATE AREA!" and "Bless you, Perry the Platypus!", while Doofenschmirtz does Phineas's "I know what we're going to do today!", "Aren't you a little old to be..." "No. No I'm not". His daughter also takes on Candace's role, including her outfit (there was a mix-up at the laundromat) and catchphrase "Mom! Mom! You gotta see this!" And even her mother assumes Candace's mother's role, right down to her saying, "I think it's time you got out of the sun for a while."

** Isabella's catchphrase "Whatcha doooin'?" is borrowed by a few other characters, but [[HeyThatsMyLine she's very protective of it]]. She elbows Buford in the ribs when he starts to say it in "Out of Toon", she acts visibly irritated when Suzy and Candace use it to Phineas in "Suddenly Suzy", and [[MySignificanceSenseIsTingling she can sense Candace using it from across town]] in "Phineas and Ferb's Christmas Vacation". However, she doesn't mind when Phineas says it to her in "That Sinking Feeling".

* ''Series/{{Bunkd}}'': In the Season 2 finale "We Didn't Start the Fire", after Hazel was demoted to CIT for being found responsible for the cabins catching fire, Ravi and Emma utter Hazel's SignatureLaugh, "Ha-ha!".
