Go To

A Wick Check for Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo. One of these wicks is the Italian Provisional Page C and another is Catchphrase's Dutch page two others are just the Needs TRS and Needs Wick Check page.

Wicks checked: 42/42

    Correct use per trope page's description (X/Total, %) 
  • Checked Page: The example with the trope wicked, copied verbatim. Checker's personal comment
  • ...
    Should Just be Catchphrase or a Catchphrase Sub-Trope (X/Total, %) 
  • (Each category needs a separate folder depending on the alleged issue, like misuse, alternative interpretations of the trope, misplacements, potential splits, and etc)
    ZCE and Unclear use (X/Total, %) 
  • (Lack of context is also a valid reason to believe there is a systematic problem)
    Non-tropes, like a wick in an index page (X/Total, %) 
  • (Many prefer to test few extra wicks since this category is rarely useful)
    Unsorted 
  • Borrowed Catchphrase: Dante's "Jackpot!" seems to be one of these, as both Vergil (in unison with Dante during DMC3) and Nero (in 4) adopt it while finishing off that game's Big Bad. (Trish also sets up Dante's use of it in the first game, right before he takes out Mundus.) Given Dante's words in 3 ("Remember what we used to say?"), it's implied he coined the phrase alongside Vergil, back when they were still close in their childhood. Does not explain how they are a Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo.
  • Catchphrase: Having a Catchphrase is not actually a required part of being a Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo.
  • Duo Tropes: This is a Trope about a duo so it does belong on the index.
Ensembles: There are several other duo Tropes on here so it makes sense that this one is here too.
  • High-School Rejects: If there's more than one of them, and they hang out together, they may also be the Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo. I suppose Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo's one-line description sort of implies they're High School Rejects.'
  • Those Two Guys: May overlap with Overly Polite Pals and Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo. Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo's own page corroborates this.
  • Weird Trade Union: In Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, the Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo present their union cards to gain the trust of and help from an LA dealer. (Jay and Silent Bob are members of Jersey local 404; the LA dealers are Los Angeles local 305.) The two groups even spend time talking business (the Jersey union might have to strike in September because they don't have medical yet). Doesn't explain what makes them a Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo. Also doesn't explain what the Weird Trade Union they're a part of actually is but that's not the purpose of this Wick Check.
  • Comic Books: He then teamed up with demons Ab and Zab, a Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo, and fought vampires and British cannibals. Doesn't explain how they're a Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo.
  • Anime & Manga: The perennial villains, the Team Rocket trio, are a Catch Phrase Spouting ''Trio''. There is is a Lampshade Hanging in an early episode where Ash asks why they always insist on saying "that dumb stuff". They give no straight answer. There most famous, besides their motto, is "We're blasting off again!" ("Yana kanji!" in Japanese). In later Japanese episodes, they started saying "Ii kanji!". It does explain what at least one of their catchphrases are (though more through the virtue of this being a page on catchphrases than actually explaining things) but the Team Rocket Trio aren't young or slackers nor do they throw out a bunch of made up words.
  • Characters.Better Call Saul Petty Criminals: They really like their discount for legal consultation, becoming the namesake for the second episode of Season 5. Doesn't do an adequate job explaining how they fit the Trope, neglecting to actually explain what the catchphrases they're shouting are or to mention if they're young slackers.
  • Characters.Chikara: "BOOYAH!!!" Should just be a Catchphrase example.
  • Characters.Donkey Kong Kongs:
    • DK and Diddy in the DKC cartoon; they also give off this vibe in the games, though they never actually speak besides some brief exclamations. Doesn't explain how they fit the bill in the cartoon and they physically can't fit the bill in the games since they, you know, don't speak meaning they can't make up words and neologisms.
    • Him and DK in the DKC cartoon; they also give off this vibe in the games, though they never speak intelligible words. Doesn't explain how they fit the bill in the cartoon and they physically can't fit the bill in the games since they, you know, don't speak meaning they can't make up words and neologisms.
  • Characters.Jewelpet 2009: Already commented out for being ZCE and incorrect usage.
  • Characters.Kamen Rider Den O Protagonists:
    • Oftentimes, with Deneb. Straight up Zero Context Example.
    • Sometimes gives the tail-ends of Yuto's phrases. Doesn't have the Young and Slacker parts
  • Characters.Pokemon Digimon Mon Wars Team Rocket:
    • Meowth's part maybe small, but it contributes This explains approximately nothing and is a pointless sub-bullet of an already perfectly fine Catchphrase entry. It also lacks proper punctuation.
    • An alternate version of the usual trio's motto. Having a catchphrase does not a Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo make.
  • Characters.Pokemon The Series Team Rocket Organization: An alternate version of the usual trio's motto. As said before, just cause they have a Catch-Phrase doesn't make them a Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo.
  • Characters.Pokemon The Series Team Rocket Trio: Trio, In the Japanese version, they tend to describe defeat as "bad feeling" and success as "good feeling". The TRio aren't young slackers and they don't make up words on the fly.
  • Characters.Sailor Moon Abridged: Amy and Raye get this at times Even with the quote it's still a ZCE.
    Amy: But Molly, he's evil!
    Raye: AND NOT THE GOOD KIND!
  • Characters.The Amazing Race 9: Possibly the most catchphrase-heavy racers ever, with their power word "T-TOW!" and "Frat Boys!!!" featuring most prominently. Just cause they have Catchphrases doesn't mean they're a Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo.
  • Characters.The Amazing Race Asia 2: Most prominently they had, "Money," which they used during tasks, and, "Base," for checking into the Pit Stop, usually accompanied by a dance. Just cause they have Catchphrases doesn't mean they're a Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo.
  • Characters.The Amazing Race Australia 1: "Focus, Believe, Achieve!" Should be a Catchphrase example.
  • Spawn: Unsure of his past life and having trouble with his costume changing and becoming wild all the time, Spawn starts to interact with former cops Sam and Twitch, and finds out Mammon sent Ab and Zab to release Urizen, a soul-destroying Eldritch Abomination that makes its enemies Deader than Dead. After resealing Urizen, Spawn hand waves his way back to Hell and, with the help of Angela, kills Malebolgia. Doesn't explain how they're a Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo.
  • Facing the Future Series: Ever since Sam became his partner, Danny has shared his 'Going Ghost!' line with her. Just cause they have Catchphrases doesn't mean they're a Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo.
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990): Donatello and Michelangelo. Zero Context Example made worse by the fact that the quote is only from one of the two characters involved.
    Donatello: Bossa Nova! *Beat* Chevy Nova? Excellent!
  • The View Askewniverse: Just a ZCE.
  • Wings: "All set?" "OK!" ZCE and also should probably be a Catchphrase example.
  • PewDiePie: Pewdie and any character he manages to get hold of. Doesn't explain how they're a Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo.
  • Spike and Barley Play: Both Spike and Barley spout out the strangest things, but notably recurring ones include "Lil' Ol' man!" "You tiny man." "Mister man!" "Laugh it up!" and "GET THE FUCK!". "Free Willy/Willeh!" exclusive for Spike. Just cause they have Catchphrases doesn't mean they're a Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo.
  • EPMD: They do incorporate a lot of pop culture references in their rhymes. Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo isn't about pop-culture references.
  • Pantheon.Film Live Action N To Z The characters that are supposedly the gods of this Trope are also part of multiple Zero Context Examples of this Trope.
  • Pantheon.Friendship Dynamics A To L The characters that are supposedly the gods of this Trope are also part of multiple Zero Context Examples of this Trope.
  • Pantheon.Villainous Success And Failure: The Team Rocket Trio, who are listed as this, are neither young nor slackers.

    Alice: Who is the spider?
    Vic: I AM THE SPIDER!
    Alice: Who is the spider's keyboard player?
    Bob: I AM THE FRESHWATER SHRIMP!
  • Lingo: A Zero Context Sub-Bullet under a perfectly serviceable Catchphrase example
  • Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!: Bullseye! Nice. ZCE
  • Wheel of Fortune: Should just be a Signing Off Catchphrase example.
  • Tropes A to G: Is there evidence for this?
  • Quake Champions: Battle Couple: Anarki and Slash. Also counts as a Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo. Doesn't explain why they're a Catch-Phrase Spouting Duo, which also doesn't have an example on that page.
  • Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff: Everything out of the boys' mouths is some kind of meme. Everything. The characters actually are an example of this but this example is very ZCE.
  • Wild Kratts: most episodes of the show end with Chris saying his [[signing off catchphrase]] and Chris complimenting it with his own. Should just be a Signing Off Catchphrase example.
  • Caged Heat (Wrestling): Should just be a Catchphrase example.
    LOCA: "Whazzup!!"
    DELTA LOTTA PAIN: "Whazzup!!"
    LOCA: "Hey, Delta! What time is it?"
    DLP: "It's Hard Time!"
    LOCA: "That's right. Caged Heat is about to lay a beatdown on somebody!"
  • Chikara: 3.0. BOOYAH! Catchphrase Example
