— The Simpsons, "Bart Gets Famous"

Cartoon Catchphrases. Wacky, fun, and often inescapable if there are any impressionable children around.

Due to the sizable nature of the page, and the fact that it will keep growing, please keep them in alphabetical order by series on this page so it doesn't delve into chaos.

If the phrase has become popular due to the audience repeating it, and not the characters in the show, it belongs in Memetic Mutation.

  • A similar exchange (the above with "tonight" replaced by "tomorrow night") appeared at the end of each episode, after their plan had failed.
  • Pinky has a small collection of odd words he'll use all of a sudden. The three most common being "Narf!", "Poit", and "Zort!".
    • For one episode, he continually said "Troz!" When Brain asked him about it, he truthfully replied that it was "zort" backwards.
    • The exact line was: "It's zort in the mirror! Troz!"
    • He's also been known to pick up other words that sound silly and start verbally ticking with them, for example "Fjord!" and "Hark!"
  • And who could forget Brain asking Pinky "Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering??", to which Pinky's reply will always start with "I think so, Brain.." but it almost never has anything to do with the actual plot of the episode.
  • Brain: "I'm going to have to hurt you."
  • The Brain is also fond of exclaiming "YES!" at any given opportunity.
  • After the Brain has finished explaining his latest scheme, Pinky will often respond, "Egad, Brain, brilliant! Oh... wait... no..." Followed by some objection (e.g. "Won't that cost a whole lot of money?")

• Popeye:

(The Mayor walks into view, hops onto the couch, and pulls out a compact disc.) The CD of Townsville! (Close-up of a record player turntable. The disc is set on this, and the needle is lowered. Pull back to show the player as an old victrola, the needle screeching and squeaking against the plastic. Pull back across the office; the Mayor snaps his fingers to the "beat.") The pity of Townsville! (Ms. Bellum steps into view, her back to the camera; cut to in front of her, at the office door, and tilt up from her feet. She has one hand on her hip.) The pretty of Townsville!
  • and:
  (The city skyline.)
  Narrator: The city of Townsville! (Pull back to bring the subdivision into view.) Pokey Oaks County! A sleepy suburb of the city of Townsville. (Pull back again to bring Pokey Oaks Kindergarten into view.) Pokey Oaks Kindergarten! A school in Pokey Oaks County, a sleepy suburb of the city of Townsville. (Zoom in and dissolve quickly to Ms. Keane in the classroom.) Ms. Keane! The teacher of Pokey Oaks Kindergarten, a school in the sleepy suburbs of? (She glares at the camera.) I'm...oh, I'm sorry.
  • Mojo Jojo often says "Curses", and when he is foiled, he says "Curse you, Powerpuff Girls!" His way of reiterating everything, connecting it with "which is to say", could also be counted as a catchphrase.
    Mojo: Curse you again, Powerpuff Girls! I'll be back. But next time, I will not be defeated, it is you who will be defeated, and once you are defeated, it is you that will have lost!

    • "Stay Frosty" starts off as one of Bob's catchphrases. AndrAIa starts using it after Bob is shot into the Web and the following Plot-Relevant Age-Up for her and Matrix happens five episodes later.
    • Enzo's "Alphanumeric!" got lampshaded in season 4. When Little Enzo says it in front of Matrix, Matrix is embarrassed that he used to say it all the time. As an adult he only used it sarcastically, and rarely.

    • The episode "Total Rickall" shows that Rick habitually comes up with random catchphrases such as "And that's the waaaaay the news goes" or "lick lick lick my balls".
  • Morty doesn't so much have a catch phrase as a catch wail, a long "Ooooooooooooooooh".
    • He also has "Oh jeez, Rick."

  • In the Scooby-Doo! and the Samurai Sword movie, while facing a serious danger, the four of them (except for Scooby, who says "Rikes!") utter their respective catchphrases - and Fred sulks because he doesn't have one of his own... Okay, technically, he DOES have TWO - "Let's split up, gang!" and "We have a mystery to solve!" - but they weren't exactly appropriate in that very moment. As of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, Fred has a new one with "Hold the phone!"
  • "Now let's see who this (insert monster's name here) REALLY is!", said prior to unmasking the Monster of the Week.

• Sonic the Hedgehog:
  • Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog:
    • Robotnik's infamous cry of "I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!".

• Multiple Teen Titans (2003) characters have them. Robin's is "Teen Titans Go!" (other characters have said this as well) and also seems to enjoy saying Slade's name with a snarl, Cyborg's is "Boo ya!"

  • Beast Wars gave fans several much-loved Catch Phrases, including "We're all gonna die" (generally followed by "Shut up, Rattrap"), "That's just prime", "For the Royalty!", and Megatron's immortal "'Yeeeeesssss...". While they don't use "roll out" because, well, they don't have anything to roll, Primal once used it while holding the spark of Prime.
    • There was also Cheetor's "Ultra gear" and Scorponok's "I'm second in command!"
    • Rattrap also let would let out an exasperated "For bootin' up cold!" from time to time.
  • It should be noted, that along with stats, every character has a catch phrase or motto printed on the box the toy comes in. However, only one (Optimus Prime's "Freedom is the right of all Sentient Beings") has ever been used in any other media (specifically, the 2007 movie), and in some cases, the quote is something the character would never say in a million years (for example, "You ain't heard nothin' yet!" for Animated Soundwave, who is basically the Transformers version of HAL.)
    • As a Mythology Gag, Optimus Primal in Beast Wars actually says it to Megatron while he's holding Prime's spark (aka Soul).

      Megatron: Then they better stand out of my way!

  • In Animated, many characters have been known to say some version of "Give me some warning next time!" The exact phrase varies, but many, many characters have told others to warn them before doing something again.
  • In Animated, Bulkhead tends to break things. Hence, at least in the first season, "[Oops/Sorry,] my bad!" would often ring out. This is also partially a Mythology Gag, as in the live-action 2007 film, Optimus Prime says this after he ruins the Witwickys' lawn.
  • Me Grimlock no bozo! Me Grimlock king!

• Work It Out Wombats!: Louisa frequently says "Did you not know?"
• Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! is full of them. Widget says "That wasn't supposed to happen" and "no problemo!", Walden says "very interesting" and "yes, yes, yes!", Wubbzy says "wow, wow, wow!", and Daizy says "lavender lollipops" at least once an episode.
  • And don't forget all those random people who always say "That's kooky!"
• Xavier: Renegade Angel actually reuses sound clips of some of its catch phrases.
  • "Take that!"
  • "Taste the pain!"
  • "What doth life?"
  • "Oh, fritata!"
• Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum:
  • Xavier:
    • "To the Secret MUSEUM!"
    • "I wonder who the Secret Museum will send us to meet."
    • "We're getting something!"
    • "Amazing fact:________"
  • Yadina:
    • "Hang on, Dr. Zoom!"
    • "It is pretty fabulous."
  • Brad:
    • "Time travel. It's always time travel with you two."
    • "Oy vey."
• Yogi Bear: "I'm smarter than the average bear" (occasionally with something else substituted for 'bear').
  • He also has "watch me swipe that pic-a-nic basket".
  • Boo Boo: "The ranger's not going to like this, Yogi."
• Young Justice (2010): "Hello, Megan!" for M'gann and "Souvenir!" for Kid Flash in Season 1 and Beast Boy in Season 2, which leads to a hilarious debate between Impulse and Blue Beetle about whose catchphrase "Souvenir!" actually is.
  • Beast Boy also has "Noted."
  • "Hello, Megan!" is an Invoked Trope. M'gann, a shapeshifter, deliberately modeled herself after her favorite 70s sitcom character, which included inserting her catchphrase wherever it would fit. She eventually develops enough confidence to just be herself, but her friend group also all adopt each other's catchphrases as an in-joke, so it still gets used once or twice a season.
  • Terra and Geo-Force both have "Mother of GOAT!" whenever they're frustrated.
• Zeroman
  • Zeroman: Great Flaming Hole!
  • Zeroman: Out, out, and away!
  • Don: Ba-Wango!
