History Main / AbandonedCatchphrase

* After it showed up in the very first "Your Grammar Sucks" [[WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}} Jack]] started calling his followers "biches" (pronounced with a rough 'ch', like ''achtung''), making it an early CharacterCatchphrase of his; but that tailed off after a few years. In a 2021 episode of "Jackask" he was asked if he really called his fans "biches", and he said it was just an old joke and he actually called them "subscribers". The headnote for the YGS Youtube playlist still says "The origin of BICHES".

* Ray Narvaez Jr. used to have multiple catchphrases during his time at Creator/AchievementHunter, although as time's gone on he's retired a large number of them. The reasons for these vary; some were retired after he left, some he just stopped using, and he stopped using "YOLO" among other catchphrases [[WhyTheFandomCantHaveNiceThings thanks to fans quoting it to him ad nauseum and annoying him repeatedly]].

* In early ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' cartoons, Strong Bad would say "Holy crap!" a lot, and just use the word "crap" pretty frequently. Eventually, the creators started to find this less and less funny, to the point where Strong Bad himself would groan in annoyance if people forced a "holy crap" or a "crapfully yours" or something like that into the [[WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail emails they sent him]].

-->'''Nick:''' I don't say that as much anymore.\\

In their early ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' videos, Nick would sarcastically tell the others to "take their time" whenever they had to think about their next move. Nowadays, you'd be hard-pressed to find him saying this in any ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' session after the ''Party Crashers'' channel had been created, likely because [[{{Hypocrite}} Nick himself tends to take just as long (if not longer) to make up his decisions]], something both him and Brent even {{lampshade}} in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZylQDefRTc&t=814s Ranking EVERY Party Crashers joke]]":

* The Hero Cortez from ''VideoGame/TimeSplitters'' had a catchphrase, 'Time to Split' which he always loudly exclaims before shifting to another time. Viciously played upon in the [[VideoGame/TimeSplittersFuturePerfect third game]], where this is met with blank stares and disbelief by his partners in time, sometimes causing Cortez to falter and just give up. It could be an example of CharacterizationMarchesOn, since the characters in ''VideoGame/TimeSplitters2'' were pretty one-dimensional, until ''Future Perfect'', in which the characters actually have personalities and dialogue.

** The Ninth Doctor had "Fantastic!" while the Tenth had "Brilliant!" and "Allons-y!" all of which were dropped when they [[TheNthDoctor regenerated]]. "Fantastic!" does get the occasional nod here and there, like in "Silver Nemesis".

* LetsPlay/PartyCrashers:

* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': Ed would say "Dork(s)?" in response to Kevin referring to him and his friends as such. He no longer says it after the first season.

{{Character Catchphrase}}s are a great and simple way to help a character's image. But sometimes, catchphrases don't stick. Perhaps the writers were experimenting with one early on, but eventually decided against it. Or perhaps a catchphrase was done to death and is no longer funny. Or sometimes, a character simply evolves and [[CharacterizationMarchesOn the catchphrase no longer fits the character]].
