Hello, I'm the The Nostalgia Critic, and I remember it so you don't have to!

Examples

• Nikki and John: Pranksters in Love - John frequently starts off videos by saying "What's going on guys, John here." and Nikki usually responds to getting pranked with "Are you f*cking kidding me right now?"
• Spoofed a few times on Homestar Runner. In Strong Bad's "crazy cartoon" "Sweet Cuppin' Cakes", the character of Eh! Steve seems to exist only to say his Catch Phrase, which is also his name ("Eh! Steve!"). At the end of the Strong Bad Email "the facts", Homestar says he's decided to change his Catch Phrase from "Seriously" to "That's bupkis!" Strong Bad used to say "Holy Crap!" with some regularity, as well, but due to inverse-Flanderization, he's been weaned off that aspect of his personality, and now groans whenever the word 'crap' comes up in an email.
  • Although he then began regularly yelling "DELETED" as he did so to many of the e-mails he was sent.
  • Parodied again with the Cheat Commandos, whose original Catch Phrase was "Cheat Commandos... rock rock on!"
    Gunhaver: Cheat Commandos... riggidy-roll!
    Silent Rip: Uh... that's not what we usually say -
    Gunhaver: (the Cheat Commandos theme music stops abruptly) Yeah, whatever, it's riggidy-roll from now on.
  • Parodied again with "Limozeen ...But They're In Space!", in which manager Teeg Dougland starts every sentence with "I'm afraid I have some bad news, boys."
  • And who could forget Teen Girl Squad's "Soooooooooooooooo good!", as well as Tompkin's characteristic Unusual Euphemism, "Awwww, peas!"
  • Bubs' alter ego, "The Thnikkaman," has several that either he says or are associated with him.
    Kids: "Can we have some?"
    The Thnikkaman: "Yeah, shut up, kid!"
    Or:
    Singers: "Here comes the Thnikkaman!" (When he leaves, it's "There goes the Thnikkaman!")
  • According to Homestar, Coach Z uses "You can't always rush into the score zone!" as a metaphor for everything.
  • Also, a standard call-and-response for private eye, crooked cop, secret agent, and celebrity pharmacist Dangeresque:
    Reynaldo: Sounds pretty dangerous!
    Dangeresque: No, sounds... Dangeresque!
    • "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!"

• "Son of a bitch!" - said by anyone who's about to get blown up (or who's seen someone else nearby get blown up).
  • "My name is Michael J. Caboose and I! Hate! BABIES!" Even though he only said it once it still became his most famous phrase.
  • Whenever Sister says something someone will almost always say "Wait, What?!"
  • "Shotgun." "Shotgu...fuck!"
  • "Bow chicka wow wow" is Tucker's catchphrase.
  • His son (whose other father is a male alien (It Makes Sense in Context)) adopted "Bow chicka honk honk".
  • "Hey guys!"
  • "Firing main cannon."
  • "Tucker did it!"
  • Everyone uses "cockbite", and they use it a lot. Why? Remember, Red Vs Blue is made by Rooster Teeth.
  • "Suck it, Blue!" is used a lot by the Red Team.
  • "It's not pink, it's lightish red!"
  • "HURK! Bleh." Whenever someone dies.
  • "HEGUHURGERK!" Whenever someone gets possessed by a ghost/AI
  • "That was the worst <x> ever! Of all time." is turning into Washington's catch phrase.
• Himei of Sailor Nothing: "This should not be happening..." (Brace yourself for the Unstoppable Rage.) Also, when it's her turn to narrate, "I'm very tired."
  • Later on, she gains a new one: "I want to live."
• lonelygirl15 has a few:
  • Bree: "Proving science wrong!"
  • LaRezisto: "Fight the Order!"
  • Edward Salinas: "We will build a stronger community."
  • The Hymn of One: "The Hymn of One is fun!"
• KateModern: After footage from a sex tape featuring him finds its way onto the Internet, Gavin accidentally gains the catchphrase "Keep your socks on!" At first he is somewhat embarrassed, but he quickly embraces it.
  • Later, there's also Tez On Toast, with his insistance on the need to "finish people off".
• Lampshaded in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog -
  Dr. Horrible: I'm Dr. Horrible. I've got a PhD in horribleness!
  Moist: Is that the new catch phrase?
  • Also NOT Lampshaded by Captain Hammer: "The hammer is my penis."

    • That Dude in the Suede uses some kind of variation of "Hi, I'm That Dude in the Suede" in Animenia.

• Husky Starcraft: "Hello everyone, this is H-to-the-usky Husky here!"
• Barry "The Blender" Henderson from the online Irish comedy series I Am Fighter has "What about you?". The phrase is (somewhat obscure northern) Irish slang for "How are you"? Of course, since the series has become so widely recognised in Ireland (moreso in the the North), the phrase has exploded in popularity. Barry's thick culchie accent makes it sound more like "Whadda boutchee?". It's frequently shortened to "Boutchee?", even by the man himself.
  • And its variants:
    • Ra-ra-radaboutchee?

    • Nothing. Fuck all from him. He loves it, though. He loves it.

  • Kingdom Hearts!
• You could fill pages upon pages of catch phrases from Let's Players. Especially, every single one seems to have a catch phrase for starting and finishing the video. A few examples

• The host of Warning Readers Advisory has one, combined with Every Episode Ending: "Until the next time you get lost down here, this is Derek the Bard. Be seeing you."
