1* {{Glurge}}: Some of his stories delved into this territory, especially a few of his "Rest of the Story" stories. One famous one, "God Made a Farmer", was used in a 2013 UsefulNotes/SuperBowl ad for Ram Trucks.
2* MemeticMutation: "And ''now'' you know... the ''rest'' of the story!"
3* OlderThanTheyThink: Borrowed a ''lot'' of his mannerisms from old time radio sportscaster and newsreel narrator [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Stern Bill Stern]]. Harvey's signature reading of page numbers was based on Stern calling out reel numbers in newsreels.
4* ReplacementScrappy: Gil Gross and Doug Limerick (both of whom had previously filled in for him on occasion) tried to carry on with Paul Harvey-esque formats after his death. Their replacements lasted ''three weeks'' before ABC replaced them with Mike Huckabee's ''Huckabee Report''.
