Harpie Siren: I may be loosing my mind but this confuses me ... "In late 2006, the TV Land cable network compiled a list of the 100 greatest TV catchphrases, and broadcast them in a special miniseries, "The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catch Phrases," over five days in December of that year." Isn't this November of 2006? I know why the person did it, but it just weirds me out... Hiro Nakamura: Soon all will be clear. Looney Toons: If you're going to wipe out my stuff wholesale, Harpie, you could at least have left the link to the article  in place.
Gus: Actually, Harpie Siren, people frequently "post-date" in the text of entries that deal with timely info. A reference to "the current season", for example, is only good for a few months, so "the 2006 season" is a better play. It is a good practice in that it saves edits to keep the language time-neutral.
Couldn't Joey's (from Friends) "How ya doin'?" catch phrase be included?
Looney Toons: Dr Thinker? Think about learning to speak English. Prfnoff: I'm pretty sure that a few of the examples toward the end of the Film section are just memorable lines, not Catch Phrases. Could someone more familiar with movies of the 70s and 80s make the necessary adjustments? Bring The Noise: Moved pro-wrestling to it's own section and cleaned it up a bit, including removing the ridiculous claim that only faces have catchphrases. Probably needs more work though. Lynx: I was tempted to add O'Neills "As a matter of fact, it does say Colonel on my uniform" from Stargate SG-1 to the examples-list, but it somehow doesn't fit. It has been used three or four times (including the feature film and "The First Commandment"), but was phrased a bit different every time, and once used by a clone of O'Neill ("Fragile Balance") and once by an actor, playing O'Neill ("Wormhole x-treme"). It's still very characteristic for O'Neill and recognized by many. Where might I best put it? Freezair For A Limited Time: So THAT'S what Terriermon was saying! I never could figure it out! Thank you, whoever added that example, for satisfying my inner child. Haven: Took out "When you shout it, This Is SPARTA!" because that trope. does not. work. that. way. Scud East: Had to take a wild guess at what this entry even meant, and rewrote it based on that guess:
Matrix: Would Ozzy Osborne's shouting "Sharooooooooon!" when something bad happens be his catchphrase? Dentaku: Yes. Sharm Hedgehog: Anyone mind explaining what the image has to do with the article at all? |
