Catchphraes could be said anywhere. While an episode, at the start of the episode, before the episode even premieres, and then there's the catchphrase at the end.

Simply put, catchphrases are phrases that the character uses a lot during his or her dialogue in order to convey his or her message. But a catchphrase can be important to a character, as it can [[CharacterCatchphrase show their personality.]] And also, they might say a catchphrase that they'll mostly use at the end. This is very common in {{News Broadcast}}s, to help set the reporters and anchors apart from the crowd. It can also be used sometimes to tel the viewers they aren't leaving yet. Also, they might use this trope in children's shows so the kids can still remember them. Like every catchphrase, once they say it, it always stays with their personality.

I think this is enough time when we say, "That's all folks!" I think that catchphrase was already used though...

It can often overlap with ThatsAllFolks (if it's the outright end of the show) or TheStinger.
