205* ''Series/ChappellesShow'':

245*** Before the series ends, every major character has used it at least once as well. Danny even comments when Jo does it.
246-->'''Jo''' [finding evidence at a scene]: Boom.
247-->'''Danny''' [to Sheldon]: Did she just use my word?

292*** "Oh my word!" — the Second Doctor, in trouble. (Although this only really began to be emphasised from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E1TheDominators "The Dominators"]] onwards.)
293*** "Oh, my giddy aunt!" — the Second Doctor, in deeper trouble. (Only used once during his era of the show, but his later appearances in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS10E1TheThreeDoctors "The Three Doctors"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E4TheTwoDoctors "The Two Doctors"]] turned it into a catchphrase.)
294*** "When I say 'run', run... ''RUN!''" — the Second Doctor, in deep and immediate trouble.
295*** "I should like a hat like that" — discarded Second Doctor catchphrase, but still remains in wide use in his first two serials.
296*** "You've redecorated... I don't like it." — associated primarily with the Second Doctor, but tends to be borrowed by other characters (like the Tenth Doctor and Clara).
297** "Creag an Tuire!" — Second Doctor companion Jaime [=McCrimmon=], before any reckless charge at ImmuneToBullets MonsterOfTheWeek (the motto of the [=MacLaren=] clan, which has historically been the "parent clan" of the [=McCrimmons=], meaning "Boar's Rock").
298** The Third Doctor has a number of them:
299*** "[[ReversePolarity Reverse the polarity!]]" was his go-to bit of TechnoBabble, most notably "Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow!" on one occasion.
300*** He's fond of "Now you listen to ''me''," usually to get the attention of either The Brig or the villain of the week.
301*** When he figures something important out, he often signals it with "Yes, of course!"
302*** Addressing people as 'my man/my good man' or 'dear'.
303*** He likes singing and has a habit of singing to himself while driving or doing science.
304** The Fourth Doctor has several:
305*** "Would you like a jelly baby?"
306*** "Hello-o-o!" (said in a slightly sing-song, 'aren't you adorable?' sort of tone) -- The Fourth Doctor, [[NightmareFetishist confronting some unspeakable horror from a planet of nightmares]].
307*** "Off you go".
308*** While walking or in an idle moment, the 4th Doc may whistle "[[StandardSnippet The Colonel Bogey March]]".
309*** Variations on the following exchange:
310---->'''The Doctor:''' Shut up K9.\
311'''K9:''' Affirmative, Master!
312*** An extended "''weeell''" while tilting his head while explaining something clever he just did. (Also incorporated into the Tenth Doctor later.)
313*** He has the slightly odd habit of pronouncing "Gallifrey" like "Galli''free''".
314*** "''Fascinating!''" Usually stage-whispered with plenty of relish.
315*** "I doubt it, Brigadier." [[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E1Robot "Robot"]]-exclusive response to most of what the Brigadier says.
316*** Responding to characters stating apparently obvious things about him with "Do I?!" (or a grammatically-appropriate variation), in a distinctive sing-song tone of voice. (This was a real habit of Creator/TomBaker that Creator/TerranceDicks found amusing and incorporated into the character.) e.g.:
317---->We know the world didn't end in 1911.\
318Do we?!\
319You came with Doctor Warlock, didn't you. \
320Did we?!\
321It's nice to see you again.\
322Is it?!
323** The Fifth Doctor has a few:
324*** "Brave heart, Tegan." Or whoever else needed bucking up.
325*** "I cannot allow that." Usually followed by the villain claiming that the Doctor can do nothing to stop him.
326*** "Sorry, must dash!" when confronted by the usual contingents of armed guards
327** "Mmm, I wonder… Aha" — the Sixth Doctor
328** "Not this time…" — the Seventh Doctor
329*** The Seventh Doctor was famous for a while for malapropisms which were strangely apt; Mel is returned by a baddie in exchange for a device but turns out she's a hologram version. Rationalizing the villain's reason, Doc 7 states "a bird in the hand keeps the Doctor away!"
330** "Fan''tas''tic!" — the Ninth Doctor
331** The Tenth Doctor has ''many'':
332*** "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." — One of Ten's less optimistic catchphrases, used when something horrible has happened/is about to happen. Notably parodied by the Eleventh Doctor — [[spoiler:when he says it, he's not apologizing for the disaster that's about to ensue, he's apologizing because he's about to ''bite'' Amy]] — and reused by the Fourteenth Doctor [[spoiler: before realizing he's broken a piece of a prototype Dalek]].
333*** Another pessimistic catchphrase he seemed to use a lot was "There's nothing we can do."
334*** About as often, "No, no don't do that," usually when his companion says something in a botched attempt to fit in with the current time period.
335*** He also adopts the phrase "Allons-y!" and uses it repeatedly.
336*** He also tends to say "Molto Bene" when a situation is, well, good.
337*** "What? ''What?? WHAT?!?''" — Often with a falsetto on the final word. An expression of disbelief spoken by the Tenth Doctor in the {{Cliff Hanger}}s leading to the second and third {{Christmas Episode}}s. And by Tenth and Fifth in a charity special. The first two "Whats" appear at the end of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E5ThePoisonSky "The Poison Sky"]]. The opening scene of the fourth ChristmasEpisode has it as well. He also says it when he gets a new companion against his will in the ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' comic strip. On the other hand, if it ends on a FlatWhat, something has just gone very badly wrong indeed. Thirteenth uses it at the end of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E10TheTimelessChildren The Timeless Children]]". These also happen to be part of the Fourteenth Doctor's first words, as a reaction to returning to Creator/DavidTennant's face.
338*** "Brilliant!"
339*** "''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RssnpE9U6IU Well...]]''" accompanied by a head tilt, used to change the flow of a monologue. The Fourth Doctor used the "well" a lot before. Creator/DavidTennant is very much a PromotedFanboy (as are some of the writers), and it also may been quite calculated (because they ''are'' the same guy, there's some of every Doctor in every other Doctor).
340*** "Hoh, yes!" Also used by Donna in the series 4 finale.
341*** "Oh, you are/I am clever!"
342*** "Come with me" when offering to rescue someone.
343*** "I really should go", and variants. Subverted horrifically in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E9ForestOfTheDead "Forest of the Dead"]] when said by "Other" Dave.
344*** "It's X. Well, it's more like Y. ''Well'', it's more like X + Y + ABCDEFG..."
345*** Despite being his last words, "I don't want to go" has somehow turned into one, shared by other Doctors, and mostly outside the series itself: he says it when he learns about Trenzelore in "[[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor The Day of the Doctor]]" with Eleventh claiming "He always says that"; in ''Film/AnAdventureInSpaceAndTime'' Creator/WilliamHartnell is show saying it when he is told he's being replaced; and different performances of ''Franchise/TheMuppets Take the 02'' had either Tennant or Creator/PeterDavison saying it as Scooter tried to hurry them offstage.
346** Eleven has a couple too.
347*** "Come along, Pond!" — when taking Amy Pond someplace else. Becomes "Come along, Ponds!" in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E13TheBigBang The Big Bang]]" and "Come along, Smith!" when he guests in ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures''.
348*** The Eleventh Doctor seems to like his Trio of "No"'s with a [[BigNo "Big No"]] at the end.
349*** "Bowties are cool." Also sometimes used to refer to other unlikely accessories such as the unfortunate (in two senses of the word) fez.
350*** "Look at you" and "I'm/You're/She's fine" are said by multiple characters.
351*** "Geronimo!" [[note]]During his appearance at a panel at Toronto's Fan Expo 2014, Matt Smith confessed that he was only supposed to say "Geronimo" during his first appearance, as the TARDIS crashed, but looking for a catchphrase of his own, began to force it in where ever he could[[/note]]
352*** Eleven also has "Ooh, it's an (X)! ''Love'' an (X)!" and "Imagine an (X) if it were a (Y) and maybe a/or with a little bit of(Z). [[{{Dissimile}} Except don't, because it's nothing like that]]."
353*** "Am I people?" and variants.
354** When anyone sees the [[BiggerOnTheInside inside of the TARDIS]] for the first time, they'll almost always say, "It's bigger on the inside." By the revival series, the Doctor has come to expect this. Ten mouthed along when Martha said it.
355*** Turned on its head by [[Recap/DoctorWho2012CSTheSnowmen Clara]]:
356---->'''Clara:''' But it's -- look at it, it's ... \
357'''Eleven:''' Go on, say it. Most people do. \
358'''Clara:''' It's smaller on the outside! \
359'''Eleven:''' ...okay, that is a first.
360** Amy says "Shut up" a lot.
361** The Daleks have "[[AC:Exterminate!]]" and "[[AC:What is happening?]]", older Daleks have "[[AC:I obey!]]" and the matching "[[AC:You will obey the Daleks! Obey! Obey!]]"; the new Cybermen are very fond of "[[AC:You are compatible]]", "[[AC:You will be deleted]]" and "[[AC:Delete! Delete! Delete!]]" Another phrase associated with the Cybermen of the 80s is "[[AC:Excellent]]", delivered in a somewhat camp manner.
362*** A Dalek catchphrase was "[[AC:My vision is impaired! I cannot see!]]" when their eyestalks get compromised. In the new series a Dalek with paint over its eyestalk ''melts it'' and announces (rather smugly, for a Dalek) "[[AC:My vision is ''not'' impaired!]]"
363** The Master has the phrase "I am the Master", often followed by "and you will obey me" when he's trying to hypnotize someone.
364** In the new series, the Master developed a tendency to say "It's good, isn't it? Isn't it good?" Or sometimes, "It's funny, isn't it?" Mostly when he'd done something especially psychotic.
365** Then there's Missy, and her "Say something nice!" [[PreMortemOneLiner Usually said before killing someone,]] since that's a memory that tends to stick around [[TheSociopath so Missy likes to have a compliment to remember it by.]] [[spoiler:And since she's the Master, that's another new series catchphrase for them.]]
366** Harriet Jones always introducing herself while showing her ID, and stating her position: "MP for Flydale North", "Prime Minister" and finally "Former Prime Minister". The latter two are always [[PhraseCatcher replied to with]] "Yes, I know who you are." or "Yes, we know who you are," and had a truly awesome payoff in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E12TheStolenEarth "The Stolen Earth"]].
367** Jack Harkness, on meeting anything, [[ExtremeOmnisexual ever]], will say the following:
368--->'''Jack:''' Well, ''hel''lo. And ''who'' are ''you??''\
369'''Jack's Object of Interest:''' *blush, giggle* I'm X.\
370'''Jack:''' Nice to meet you, X!\
371'''The Doctor:''' Oh, stop it! (or some variation thereof)\
372'''Jack:'''I was only saying hello! (or some variation thereof)\
373'''Jack's Object of Interest:''' I don't mind. (or some variation thereof)
374** Pete Tyler has "Trust me on this". It comes from his ads, but he uses it at least twice in person.
375** Lady Cassandra uses "Moisturise me" so many times that it becomes a habit, saying it even when she gains her own limbs and, moreover, it becomes unneccessary.
376** River Song:
377*** "Spoilers!" [[spoiler:Occurs again in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E4TheTimeOfAngels "The Time of Angels"]] when the Doctor unintentionally blurts out a fact from her later life that he learned in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E8SilenceInTheLibrary "Silence in the Library"]].]]
378*** "Hello, Sweetie!" In [[Recap/DoctorWho2015CSTheHusbandsOfRiverSong "The Husbands of River Song"]], the Twelfth Doctor introduces himself to River with her own phrase, after she has just gone on a rant to the MonsterOfTheWeek that the Doctor wouldn't be dumb enough to stand next to her if she was in danger.
379*** The following exchange between her and the Doctor:
380---->'''The Doctor:''' Hi honey, I'm home.\
381'''River Song:''' And what sort of time do you call this?
382** There is a reason "[[DontAskJustRun RUN!]]" is the Doctor's first line in the revived series. Every single incarnation says variations on it all the time. Donna even once explained to another character that there was an ''outrageous'' amount of running involved.
383*** There's also "When I say run, run" and finishing a BadassBoast with telling the villain to "Basically, run." (They usually do.)
384** Brigadier Winifred Bambera in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E1Battlefield "Battlefield"]] has "Oh, shame".
385** The Twelfth Doctor has attempted to avoid catchphrases, unsuccessfully, with two being identified: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sENMHOY1wTs Shut up]]" (during Series 8 — shared with other characters in particular Clara), and he utters the name "Clara" so many times [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux9NeXTqjD4 it's become seen as a catchphrase]] (yes, it's not unusual for a lead character to utter the name of his co-lead character in dialogue — but the Doctor says her name ''a lot'' more than is considered standard.)Also uses a stranger VerbalTic of prefacing his sentences with what they are. "Question! *insert question here*", etc. While not a catchphrase, it's appeared every season of his and sticks out.
386* ''{{Series/Dollhouse}}'':
387** "Did I fall asleep?" whenever any of the Actives wakes up after being wiped and left a blank slate.
388** The proper response to this is, "For a little while." At this point, the Active will ask, "Shall I go now?", the response to which is "If you'd like" or anything affirmative. Failure to carry out the exchange in full after a wipe can have [[HeroicBSOD dire consequences.]]
389** In the episode "Gray Hour", the safecracker persona used by Echo has "Blue skies". It is later used by Sierra to inform the audience that she has been imprinted with the same persona.
390** Terry Karrens, the serial killer from Belle Chose has "goodness gracious"
391*** Both this and the "blue skies" catchphrase above are also used by Echo, to indicate that she is retaining memories from her imprints.
392** "Lock and Load!"
393** "Would you like a treatment?"
394* ''Series/DonkeyHodie'':
395** Donkey Hodie has four: "Hee-haw!", "Hee-hawesome!", "I, Donkey Hodie..." and "Think, Donkey Hodie, think!"
396** Purple Panda has "Hey-o!", which is usually accompanied by him looking up to the sky.
397** Duck Duck has "Kay kay!"
398** Bob Dog has "Bow wow!" and "Bow wowie!".
399* ''Franchise/{{Dragnet}}'':
400** "The story you are about to see is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent." Often parodied over the years in other media.
401** The beginning of every episode started with Sgt.Friday saying "This is the city, Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm a cop." Later, beginning with 1967, it was changed to "I carry a badge".
402** Friday is also credited with the signature line "Just the Facts", but it's a BeamMeUpScotty.
403* ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'':
404** The show has a few including "Ah geez!" (Josh). In the earlier seasons though Josh would repeat words for emphasis...''EMPHASIS!''.
405** HUG ME BROTHAH!!!
406** Megan has a tendency to call her brothers "boobs".
407** Drake's and Joshes response to Megan's pranks is usually a hissed "Megan!"
408** [[SadistTeacher Mrs. Hayfer]] has "I hate you, Drake."
409* ''Series/DueSouth'':
410** Benton Fraser would often say 'Thank you kindly.', as well as: 'Oh dear.' Ray had the very succinct, 'Fraser!'
411** Also in the last season, when people would ask what a Mountie was doing in Chicago, Fraser would answer, 'I first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of my father and, for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I've remained, attached as liaison with the Canadian Consulate.' After which people would stare at him, for some reason.
412* ''Elvira's Movie Macabre'': Creator/ElviraMistressOfTheDark would end by telling her audience to have "Unpleasant dreams".
413* ''{{Series/Emergency}}'': “Squad 51,KMG 365” or “Station 51,KMG 365” (the squad’s call sign and the number of the radio frequency.)
414* Almost several characters in ''Series/EureekasCastle'' had one:
415** Eureeka: "Wand wiskers!" (whenever one of her spells backfired)
416** Mr. Knack: "Heavens to bootsy!" and "As my Granny Tusnelda used to say..."
417** Batly: "IMeantToDoThat."
418* ''Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond'': It seems as if Frank said "Holy crap!" at least once per episode.
419* ''{{Series/Extras}}'': Mocked with an appalling ShowWithinAShow ''When the Whistle Blows'' with CatchPhrase "Are you 'aving a laff?; Is he/she 'aving a laff?"
420* ''Series/ExtremeMakeoverHomeEdition'':
421** "I'm Ty Pennington, and the renovation starts right now."
422** "Let's do it!"
423** "We got 24 hours til the family comes home!"
424** "There's just one thing left to say. Welcome home *insert name* family, welcome home."
425** "Bus driver, MOVE THAT BUS!"
426** "Good morning *insert name* family! *insert names* come on out!"
427* ''Series/TheFallAndRiseOfReginaldPerrin''
428** This show was Catchphrase Heaven, with almost every single character having their own stock phrase "Great!", "Super!", "I didn't get where I am today by..", "Bit of a cock up on the old....front"
429** When Chris, CJ's counterpart in TheRemake ''Reggie Perrin'', said "I didn't get where I am today by..." it got a huge laugh from the studio audience. Since this ''doesn't'' appear to be a catchphrase for Chris, its appearance may qualify as a MythologyGag.
430** And, of course, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
431* ''Series/FamilyFeud'':
432** What is the catch phrase of this show? "Survey says..."
433** "Number one answer!"
434** Though for the UK version, ''Family Fortunes'', the "number one answer" is simply referred to as the "top answer". But it's still a catchphrase nontheless.
435* ''Series/FamilyMatters'':
436** Character Steve Urkel is a case study in catch phrases, so much so that a talking doll was produced with most of them included. Phrases like "did I do thaaaaat?" or "I don't have to take this. I'm going home!" were uttered almost every episode. Also, there's Urkel's trademark laugh/snort.
437** "Did I do that?"
438** "Look what you did."
439** "No sweat, my pet!"
440** In the later episodes, he had "Well at least no one was hurt," and someone else (usually Carl) would reply, "Not yet!"
441* ''Series/FantasyIsland'': Tattoo: "Da plane! Da plane!"
442* ''Series/TheFastShow'':
443** This show is a SketchShow pretty much based on catchphrases. In fact, the only sketches without a catchphrase are the Ted&Ralph sketches. Examples of Catchphrases include:
444** "I'll get me coat...",
445*** It has also become a CatchPhrase for Outpost Gallifrey The Doctor Who Forum]], the comment pages of ''[[http://www.theregister.co.uk/ The Register]]'', the comp.sys.sinclair newsgroup, and the Usenet group alt.fan.[[Creator/TerryPratchett pratchett]], the latter two usually abbreviating it into "IGMC..."
446** "Suit you, sir!" (''Not'' [[BeamMeUpScotty Suits you, sir!]])
447** "Does my bum look big in this?"
448** "You ain't seen me, right"
449** The only aversion of this being the Ted&Ralph sketches.
450* ''Series/FatherTed'': Father Jack is a catchphrase in an armchair: "DRINK! FECK! ARSE! GIRRRRRLS!!''
451* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'':
452** "Does that seem right to you?" --Jubal Early, about every other sentence.
453** The ''Serenity'' crew, especially Kaylee, has [[FutureSlang "Shiny."]]
454* ''Series/{{Flashpoint}}'':
455** The team has "Let's keep the peace!" and, somewhat less frequently, "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast, fast is lethal."
456** Once he starts feeling at home with SRU, Sam Braddock develops a habit of saying, "Nowhere else I'd rather be."
457* ''Series/FlightOfTheConchords'':
458** Mel: "Oh hey guys!"
459** Murray: "Band meeting. Bret? ....... Jermaine?"
460*** "And Murray: present."
461* ''Series/{{Forever|2014}}'''s Dr. Henry Morgan, along with being the main person to say the show's ArcWords of "It's a long story," also says, "I couldn't agree more!" repeatedly in a characteristic way, and he uses "It's complicated…" often enough that he gets called out on it in-universe, making it highly recognizable to fans of the series and characters within the series alike.
462* ''Series/ForeverKnight'': Don Schanke: "Man oh man oh man" and "Hasta la bye bye".
463* ''Series/{{Frasier}}'': "I'm listening." "This is Dr. Frasier Crane, wishing you good mental health", "Oh, dear God!" and "Oh, for God's sake, Niles!". Interestingly, his catchphrase from ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' ("You will rue the day you did that!") only turns up once, and then in truncated form.
464* ''Series/TheFreshBeatBand'': "Wouldn't it be cool if..." Twist says before coming up with some ridiculously complicated scheme. Marina always responds "That would be cool." Then she or another character suggests another, simpler, way of doing the same thing. Twist says, "Well sure, if you want to do it the easy way."
465* ''Series/{{Friends}}'':
466** "''Noooooo''", Rachel
467** "''I know!''" Monica
468** "''Oh, no.''" Phoebe
469** "''How you doin'?''" Joey
470** "''Could _ be...''" Chandler
471** "''Hi.''" Ross
472** "We WERE ON A BREAK!!!!!" Ross (though Rachel said the line the first time)
473*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQa5mgnquDM This video has a nice compilation.]]
474** "''Oh... My... God!''" Several characters, especially Janice
475** "''Oh, come on!''"
476** "''Why? Wh-why, WHY?!?''"
477* ''Series/FawltyTowers'':
478** "He's from Barcelona." - Basil Fawlty, usually in reference to Manuel.
479** "Qué?" - Andrew Sachs as Manuel.
480* ''Series/{{Fringe}}'':
481** In the first eight episodes, Peter Bishop has developed the catch phrase, "You're not going to believe this, but I think this might actually work."
482** Also Walter's "How wonderful!"
483* ''{{Fugitivos}}'': "And you, WHAT SIDE ARE YOU ON?"
484* ''Series/FullHouse'': Seemingly every character had their own catch phrases. Joey's was "Cut. It. Out." Stephanie was always saying "How rude!" or "Pin a rose on your nose." D.J.'s line was "Oh Mylanta!" Uncle Jesse's was "Have mercyyyyy!" Kimmy's was "Hola Tanneritos!" And then of course there's Michelle, the queen of catch phrases with gems like "You got it, dude!" and "You're in big trouble, mister!"
485* ''Series/FullerHouse'':
486** DJ, Stephanie and Kimmy still have theirs from ''Series/FullHouse''.
487** Uncle Jesse also still has "Have Mercy!"
488** Max has "Holy Chalupas!"
489** The phrase "it's always open!", whenever someone knocks also qualifies.
490** Then there's "hug it out!", which is said by all of them at least once.
491[[/folder]]
492
493[[folder:Shows G-J]]
494* ''Series/{{Galileo}}'':
495** Yukawa has several, and the other characters will occasionally imitate him.
496** "Every phenomenon has a cause."
497** "Not the slightest clue."
498** "Truly interesting."
499** "Truly illogical."
500* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
501** The ever-lambasted "You know nothing, Jon Snow." Later episodes even begin subverting it such as during Jon and Ygritte's sex scene when it provides one of the series' rare moments of outright comedy.
502** Each house has a motto that serves as their creed:
503*** '''Stark:''' "Winter is coming."
504*** '''Lannister:''' "A Lannister always pays his debts," is far more ubiquitous than the Lannisters' actual motto, "Hear me roar," which has yet to be heard on-screen. "As rich as a Lannister" is another common saying about the family. A more derogative saying is, "The Lannisters shit gold".
505*** '''Targaryen:''' "Fire and blood."
506*** '''Tyrell:''' "Growing strong," which Lady Olenna describes as "the dullest words of any house."
507*** '''Tully:''' "Family, duty, honor."
508*** '''Baratheon:''' "Ours is the fury."
509*** '''Martell:''' "Unbowed, unbent, unbroken."
510*** '''Greyjoy:''' "We do not sow."
511*** '''Bolton:''' "Our blades are sharp."
512** Irri and Jhiqui: "It is known."
513** Sam: "I read it in a (very old) book."
514** Syrio Forel: "Just so."
515** The Hound: "Fuck the X." His favourites seem to be "Fuck the king," and "Fuck the water."
516** Varys: "The city has been made brighter by your presence."
517--> '''Lady Olenna Tyrell:''' Is that your usual line?
518** '''THE KING IN THE NORTH!''', seems to be shaping up to be a battlecry of sorts for the Greatjon and the Northern army.
519** The Tickler: "Where's the Brotherhood? Is there gold hidden in the village? Jewels?"
520** "Dracarys" — the Valyrian word for dragonfire — becomes Daenerys' PreAssKickingOneLiner as it's the word she uses to order her dragons to KillItWithFire.
521** "Pay the iron price" has been said by House Greyjoy more times than their actual motto, "We do not sow".
522* ''Series/GetSmart'':
523** Would you believe... this show was a virtual cottage industry of catch phrases?
524** "Missed it by THAT much!"
525** "Sorry about that, Chief."
526** "This is KAOS! We don't (x) here!"
527** "I asked you not to tell me that!"
528** In the Latin American dub, Maxwell would try to shoehorn his "aunt from Acapulco" into every single conversation.
529** "Good work, 99!"
530** And many more. Finding them all would mean facing every sort of danger imaginable!
531** "...and loving it!"
532* ''Series/{{Ghostwriter}}:'' "Let's rewind."
533* Many of Max Gillies political impersonations on ''Series/TheGilliesReport'' had their own catch phrase. Probably the most famous was Pope John Paul II's "Stop it, it or you'll go blind!", said in a broad Italian accent.
534* Invoked on ''Series/GilmoreGirls''. Lorelei decides that since "oy" and "poodle" are both {{Inherently Funny Word}}s, she's going to start using "Oy, with the poodles already!" as a catchphrase. It doesn't stick.
535* ''Series/GirlMeetsWorld'':
536** Farkle has "Ladies!" and "Thank you, I am Farkle!", though he uses them less as the show progresses.
537** Ava sings hers: "It's Ava Morgenstern, yeah!"
538** Maya uses "Hope is for suckers" a few times.
539* ''Series/{{Glee}}'':
540** Principal Figgins' "It's out of my hands, Will!" is definitely starting to qualify.
541** Sue's 'You think this is hard? Try RefugeInAudacity, that's hard!' and 'HORROR!', Will's 'From the top' under any and all circumstances, and Kurt's 'Mr Schue/Warblers, if I may?' do also.
542** Holly Holliday herself claims that "I thought you'd never ask" is her catch phrase.
543** Mercedes' "Hell to the no!". She even writes a song for it.
544* ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'': Rose started her stories with "back in St. Olaf..." while Sophia was fond of "Picture it, Sicily..." (or sometimes "New York)". Dorothy had a habit of telling Sophia "Shady Pines,ma" when she was misbehaving. Stan's usual greeting also fits "Hi, it's me, Stan"
545* ''Series/GomerPyleUSMC'':
546** Title character: "Surprise, surprise, surprise!"
547** "Like my Grandma Pyle always used to say..."

551** "Your patience will be rewarded."
552* ''Series/TheGoodPlace'': The most common effect of Chidi's anxiety issues is him going "Oh, my stomach hurts". He is also fond of the phrase "I am vexed, [name]! Vexed!"
553* ''Series/GoodTimes'': J.J. Evans's classic ''DYN ... NO ... MITE!!!!; “Well you know, what can I say?”
554* ''Series/GossipGirl'':
555** Two primary ones... Cyrus Rose's "Not enough!" and the infamous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjvI8PSvpxE "... I'm ''Chuck Bass''."]]
556** The latter was lampshaded by Blair in the season 2 premiere. "Give me one good reason why I should stay, and 'I'm Chuck Bass' doesn't count."
557*** Although as of season 3 he's not Chuck Bass without Blair...
558** Gossip Girl herself has a couple of her own: "You know you love me" and the "XOXO" sign-off
559* ''GranHermano'': "You are nominated/not nominated."
560* ''Series/TheGreatBritishBakeOff'': Several.
561** "On your marks, get set -- ''bake''!" from Mel and Sue.
562** "You've got a soggy bottom" and many variants, from Paul.
563** "Ooh, don't they look tempting!" and many variants, from Mary.
564** "Sheer perfection" and "Scrumptious!" also from Mary.
565** Cathryn of series 3 was prone to exclaiming "Oh, my giddy aunt!" in moments of high stress.
566** In series 7, "It's a bit informal" and variations thereof from Mary ("informal" being a codeword for "messy as anything")
567* ''Series/TheGreatestAmericanHero'': Ralph lets out an annoyed, "Damn!" every time he crash lands... which is nearly [[RunningGag every time he tries to fly]].
568* ''Series/GreysAnatomy'': ''Seriously''. Seriously? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G6_c8jvcjk Seriously.]]
569* ''Series/HappyDays'':
570** Best known for Fonzie's thumbs-up "Ayyyyyy!," also popularized the term "nerd," and the insult "Sit on it!" When Chachi was introduced, ABC demanded that he have a catchphrase, so Scott Baio came up with "Wa wa wa" - which didn't catch on.
571** Richie's singing "I found my thrill.....", Ralph's "I still got it!", Al's "Yep...yepyepyepyepyep".
572* ''Series/HannahMontana'':
573** Has "Sweet niblets!"
574** [=TVtropeseditorsay=]''what??''
575** Ya think?
576** Then there's Rico's "Mua-haha" (which is actually a sort of Catch EvilLaugh), His company is even called "Mua-haha Inc."
577** Lilly had a habit of stating something embarrassing only to question whether she really just said that.
578---> 'Listen, everyone, it's Hannah Montana and she knows what's on my butt! [Beat] Did I say that out loud?'
579** In what might as well be a VerbalTic, Sarah would sometimes state something rather depressing and immediately afterwards say "Bye!" in an extremely cheerful voice.
580---> 'I'm sure you two will find dates! Except if global warming is faster...Bye!"
581** Then there's Amber and Ashley's "Oooooooh! Hsssssss..." whenever relating to something at the same time:
582* ''Series/HawaiiFiveO'':
583** Each episode ended with Steve [=McGarrett=] (Jack Lord) saying, "Book 'em Danno!".
584** "Be there. Aloha."
585* ''Series/{{Heroes}}'':
586** Hiro, when achieving some goal, would often yell, "YATTA!" And upon meeting Nathan Petrelli, would often throw his arms in the air and exclaim, "FLYING MAN!"
587** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] and poked fun of by the actors in one of the season one commentaries, though they talk more about how some characters seem to be saying different versions of the same line over and over. Creator/SendhilRamamurthy points out how Mohinder is always saying things like: "Someone killed my father, I must avenge my father's killer, who murdered my father?" etc. Zachary Quinto is then asked what Sylar's catchphrase is, and he replies: "Braaaaaaiiiiiiiins."
588* ''Series/{{Highlander}}'':
589** When Duncan met another immortal, he would often say "I am Duncan [=MacLeod=] of the Clan [=MacLeod=]."
590** And of course the catch phrase of all the immortals "There can be only one!"
591** Richie picked up the catchphrase "I'm sorry, Mac, I know he was your friend" because Mac lost so many friends.
592* ''Series/HenryDanger'':
593** Captain Man's "[[ImOkay I'M OKAY!!]]"
594** Henry's "Feels goooood!"
595** Piper used to say "I am NOT okay!"
596** Vice Mayor Willard has "I'm the vice mayor, not the [whatever rhymes with -ice] mayor!"
597* ''Series/HillStreetBlues'':
598** "Let's be careful out there".
599** Also, its replacement: "Let's to it to them before they do it to us." (Later dropped after one of the other cops objected.)
600** Belker inevitably refers to suspects as "Dirtbag" or "Hairball."
601** Davenport's nickname for Furillo: "Pizza-Man."
602* ''Series/HogansHeroes'': Sgt. Schultz: "I know NUZZING!", Major Hochstetter's "What is this man doing here?", and of course, "[[BlatantLies Nobody escapes from Stalag 13!]]"
603* ''Series/TheHollywoodSquares'':
604** "Circle / 'X' gets the square!"
605** "For the win!" (whenever a contestant picks a square that will lead to a win, pending the correct answer to the question.)
606* ''Series/HolmesOnHomes'' and spinoffs: "Make it Right!" Also, "Gut it" and "Tear it all down" are practically catchphrases on there as well.
607* ''Series/HomeImprovement'':
608** "More power!", "I don't think so, Tim," and of course Tim Allen's ever-present grunting.
609** "Hidey-ho, neighbor!"
610* ''Series/TheHoneymooners'':
611** "One of these days, Alice, straight to the moon."
612** "Har Har hardy har har" "To the moon, Alice!"
613** "Baby, you're the greatest."
614* ''Series/HorribleHistories'':
615** "That's 100% accu-rat." "The rat knows all!"
616** "We Romans had a lot of crazy emperors, and one of the craziest was a bloke called Caligula."
617** "HI! I'M A SHOUTY MAN!"
618** "You're dead funny."
619** "Good day."
620** "I concur."
621** "Hot sausage!"
622** "Whallop!"
623** "BUT NOT FOR LONG!" "OR SO THEY THOUGHT" "...right? WRONG!!!" "[historical fact], [humorous anachronism], and [another historical fact], except not [aforementioned anachronism]"
624* ''Series/{{House}}'':
625** House will often remark "Everybody lies" in how patients hamper the diagnosis by lying about their personal history, like drug use or extra-marital affairs. Most of the doctors in the hospital tend to utter "House was right" more often than they get to say ''they'' were right. There's also "It's not lupus," although that's more of a RunningGag.
626** When they're diagnosing the patient of the week one of them usually says "It fits".
627** "You can't always get what you want" pops up numerous times (usually in season openers and closers), both in dialogue and when they play the actual Rolling Stones song.
628** "You're an ass" is said by Wilson with such regularity that it's seen as his. Not that other characters don't commandeer it.
629** And, of course, "It's ''never'' Lupus". Which stopped around that episode in Season 4 when it actually ''was'' Lupus.
630** Also, "Interesting", when something peaks his interest; and "You idiot.". [[spoiler:In the series finale, at House's funeral, Wilson got a text with the phrase in it, [[FakingTheDead and he immediately knew who it was.]]]]
631* ''Series/HouseOfAnubis'': Victor has "It is TEN O'CLOCK. You have five minutes precisely, and then I shall want to be able to hear a pin...drop." He probably got it from his father, considering he said the same thing when Victor was a kid.
632** Which is later [[BorrowedCatchphrase borrowed]] and changed by Patricia, Fabian and Alfie, after they [[spoiler:became sinners]].
633--->'Patricia':"It's Ammit O'clock!"
634--->'Fabian':"You have five minutes..."
635--->'Alfie':"And then I want to hear you all drop!"
636** Fabian also borrowed it earlier, when he played Victor in the school play. Trudy also did it once.
637** Willow has her own catchphrase- {{Squee}}!
638* ''Series/HouseOfCardsUK'':
639** "You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment." Usually when Francis says it (with a genial tone, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz8RjPAD2Jk almost with a wink]]), it means "Yes, but I can't confirm it for the record" (which may or may not be a deception). Occasionally it's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMRUHGnN29s said with a colder tone,]] and means "think what you like, you bastard, I won't dignify it with a response".
640** Used in the American ''Series/{{House of Cards|US}}'', though less often -- it's more of a ShoutOut to the British original.
641* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'':
642** Barney has many, including "Suit up!", "It's gonna be legen - wait for it - dary!", and countless variations therein. As well as "What up?", often said as he offers a high-five for any ribald joke he makes. And, of course, "Awesome"- though technically that's a catch-word, according to Ted.
643*** And let's not forget, "Haaaaave you met Ted?"
644*** Nor "True story".
645*** What about "This is going to my blog!"?
646*** "When I'm being (sad/sick/whatever) I stop being (sad/sick/whatever) and be awesome instead."
647*** "Daddy's home!"/"Who's your daddy?"
648*** "Challenge accepted!"
649*** "Go for Barney." when picking up the phone.
650*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozLMx1E_Oac Everything in this video]]
651** Marshall has "Lawyered."
652** "But, umm..." seems to have become Robin's--so much so that it inspired an in-universe DrinkingGame.
653*** In later season, she also has "NOBODY ASKED YOU, PATRICE!!!" and several variations.
654** Lily says "yooouuuu, sonuvabitch!" enough to count.
655*** In season 9, she also has "Thank you, Linus."
656** Also in season 9, "What the damn hell?" was used by several characters.
657** "That's the dream" is mainly used by Barney, but has also been used by Ted and Robin.
658* ''Series/{{Hunter|1984}}'': The title character's "Works for me."
659* ''Series/ICarly'':
660** Carly's soft and sweetly delivered ''"Please, for me?"'' definitely guarantees that Freddie won't resist her request.
661** Sam usually calls herself ''Mama'' to describe herself or whenever she feels competitive.
662** Recent episodes have Freddie showing a habit of saying random Spanish words, usually as alternatives for saying "goodbye" like "''Pantalones!''" or "''Agua!''", and he also tends to say 5, 4, 3, 2... even outside the show.
663** Nevel has "You'll rue this day, YOU'LL RUE IT!"
664** Guppy, Gibby's little brother, has "Happy birthday!" - Gibby even asks if that's his catchphrase now.
665** Gibby in later episodes has "Gibbey".
666* ''Series/ILoveLucy'':
667** Has "Lucy, I'm home" and "Waaah!".
668** Not to mention "Somebody's got a lotta 'splanin' to do!"
669** Or "I'm gonna teach (him/her) a lesson (he'll/she'll) never forget."
670** And what about Lucy's obligatory "Ewwwwwwwww...!" whenever something went wrong?
671* ''Series/{{Imposters}}'': "Always forward, never back." A phrase Maddie likes to say a lot, that Ezra, Richie and Jules each remember her saying to them. The three of them later appropriate it for themselves.
672* ''[[Series/ICPTheater Insane Clown Posse Theater]]'': Sugar Slam announces that it's time for the "Venereal (viral) Video." Someone asks "Why is it a 'Veneral Video'?" J says, "Because it WON'T GO AWAY!"
673* ''Series/{{Interceptor}}'': "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I liikkke it!"
674* ''Series/TheInvisibleMan'':
675** Has Darien Fawkes reacting to his frequently hostile circumstances with an "Aw, crap." that ranged from ThisIsGonnaSuck to full on OhCrap. When Darien has LaserGuidedAmnesia, and an enemy tries to convince him that they're best friends, this is all Darien can remember about his identity and uses it to figure out that the other guy is lying.
676** The Official also had "Shut Up, Eberts!" to reign in his infomaniac right hand secretary. And it wasn't an episode until Bobby Hobbes threw in a "my friend!" to a line of dialog.
677*** An episode, where the Official meets his Chinese counterpart, also has Eberts eagerly discussing some pointless typographical thing with his counterpart Wang. This is quickly followed by "Shut up, Eberts!" and "Silence, Wang!"
678* ''Series/TheITCrowd'':
679** "Hello, IT, have you tried turning it off and on again?"
680** Also Jen's "TAXI!"
681* ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'':
682** SubvertedTrope in Season 2 when Frank starts saying "What's the Action" and Dennis questions him by saying, "What's that, your catchphrase?"
683** Also played straight with Mac always saying, "What's up, bitches?" whenever he enters a room.
684* ''Series/{{Jackass}}'':
685** "I'm (speaker's name), and this is (stunt name)."
686** "Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville, and welcome to Jackass!"
687* ''Series/{{Jessie}}''
688** Zuri has a doubting "Mhm".
689** Bertram has "But it's soo far!" whenever he's too lazy to get something.
690* ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'':
691** Art Fleming of classic ''Jeopardy'' had phrases he used pretty much OnceAnEpisode... if not more:
692** When the clue was revealed (yes, ''every time''): "The answer is...!"
693** When it was time to cue to commercial, some variant of: "Please watch along with us! Thank you."
694** "Of course, [[TheAnnouncer Don Pardo]] is an expert at that." (Whenever the right question involved alcoholic drinks, such as in the "Potent Potables" category.)
695** Modern contestants must sometimes still be reminded "Your response must be phrased in the form of a question."
696* ''Jimmy [=MacDonald's=] Canada'':
697** "Good evening, Canada. I'm Jimmy [=MacDonald=], and I'm going to give it to you straight," would open every show.
698** The first commercial break would be preceded by "Now let's hear a word from our sponsor: Provincial Cigarettes. If you're Canadian, you've got to be Provincial."
699** Marg Margison's portion of the show ("A Woman's Advice") would end with "Let's build a great Canada. Back to you, Jimmy."
700** And finally, Jimmy would close with "Goodnight, Canada. Hug your children."
701* ''Series/JudgeJudy'': Has a few. Her most popular one is "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!". Her other ones include "If something doesn't make sense, it's not true", "Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining", "I'M SPEAKING!" (said when someone interrupts her), "(S)he's a nut!" and "That falls under the category of 'Too bad'."
702[[/folder]]
703
704[[folder:Shows K-N]]
705* ''Series/{{Kaamelott}}'': Percival has been told to answer "C'est pas faux" ("That's quite right") whenever someone says something he doesn't understand. He gets to use that phrase quite a lot.
706* ''Series/KaiketsuZubat'': Ken's mostly known to say, when encountering an enemy who's skilled in a particular [[MartialArtsAndCrafts bizarre fighting style]]: "However, your skills are only #2 in Japan." With #1, of course, being Ken himself.
707** As Zubat, he has a few: "Zu-BAT! I'm on the scene! Zu-BAT! I solve the case! They call me the wandering hero, the Magnificent Zubat!" for when he first reveals himself, "You did crimes X, Y, and Z... (Crime boss), [[ThisIsUnforgivable you will pay!]]" after that, and then finally after his victory, he leaves a calling card saying "This man is guilty of (crime)!"
708* From the [[LongRunners long-running]] ''Franchise/KamenRider'' franchise:
709** [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Shinji Kido]]: "'sha!" (a misspoken "yossha" which is a rough way of saying "Alright!")
710*** [[AxCrazy Takeshi Asakura]]: "I'm rather vexed."
711** [[Series/KamenRiderKabuto Souji Tendou]]: "Grandma said this..." and "Walking the path of heaven, ruling over all."[[note]]Which is a play on his own name; Tendou means "path of heaven" and Souji means "ruling everything"[[/note]]
712*** [[UnknownRival Tsurugi Kamishiro]]: "The man who replaces the gods with a sword's slash!"[[note]]Like Tendou, this is a play on his name; Kamishiro means "replacing god" and Tsurugi means "sword"[[/note]] "I will stand on top of (whatever he's attempting at the moment)." and "My best friend [=KaGAmi!=]"
713** A significant portion of ''[[Series/KamenRiderDenO Den-O]]'''s cast:
714*** [[BoisterousBruiser Momotaros]]: "[[IncomingHam Ore, sanjou!]]" ("I've arrived!") and "[[PreAssKickingOneLiner From start to finish, I'm always at a climax!]]"; both are also considered emblematic of the series as a whole. He also has "[[BringIt Let's go, let's go, LET'S GO!!]]", which gets less attention.
715*** [[ChivalrousPervert Urataros]]: "Do you mind if I string you along?" and less often "Every word contains a thousand hooks."
716*** [[GentleGiant Kintaros]]: "My strength has made you cry. Wipe your tears with this", sometimes shortened to just "You'll cry!" or "You cried!".
717*** [[LaserGuidedTykebomb Ryutaros]]: "Mind if I (relevant action)? Can't hear your answer!". Most commonly "Mind if beat you?"
718*** [[ShelteredAristocrat Sieg]]: "Advent! At the top!" as well as "[[ItsAllAboutMe The world revolves around me]]", and "[[KneelBeforeZod Bow your head!]]"
719*** [[SixthRanger Yuto]]: "Let me say this to start...", followed by a statement about how strong (or pissed off) he is; his partner [[BattleButler Deneb]] shares the intro, but always messes it up by following it up with an honest statement that [[MomentKiller confuses and annoys everyone]].
720*** [[BigBad Kai]]: "Does my face show it?", after [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry saying how he feels]].
721** [[Series/KamenRiderKiva Keisuke Nago]]: "Please return that life to god."
722*** And, at first, the Aso family had "God has erred", referring to the Fangires.
723*** [[KavorkaMan Otoya Kurenai]]: "All people are music" and "There are only two things that annoy me, marriage and (relevant annoyance)".
724*** [[ThePowerOfRock Kengo Eritate]]: "Let's get shaking!"
725*** [[DeadpanSnarker Kivat-Bat the 3rd]]: "Kivatte ikuze!" ("Let's go Kiva!")
726*** Kivat-Bat the 2nd: "You should be grateful, it's extinction time."
727*** As well as Tatsulot's "Tension Fortissimo!"
728** [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Tsukasa Kadoya]]: "I'm just a passing-through Kamen Rider - remember that!" Kaitou will occasionally steal this one, [[PhantomThief of course]].
729*** Also, for his Final Form Rides: "This might tickle a bit."
730*** And Kaitou has one for the same: "It'll only hurt for a moment."
731*** And Narutaki, to the point of MemeticMutation: "Damn you, Decade!" or "Onore, Dickeido!" [[BeamMeUpScotty He actually only said it once in the series]], but it retroactively became a catchphrase after it was used in the net movies and subsequent movies that aired after the series had finished.
732** [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Shotaro Hidari and Phillip]]: "Now, count up your crimes!" and "This clinches it!" The former comes from Shotaro's mentor Sokichi Narumi.
733*** Shotaro alone: "Let's go, partner."
734*** Phillip: "Beginning lookup", "How thrilling", and "We two are a single (detective[=/=]Kamen Rider[=/=][[ItMakesSenseInContext Kamen Singer]])!"
735*** Ryu Terui: "Despair awaits you at the finish line," "Let's break away!" (sometimes translated as "Let's get shaking!"), and "Don't ask me questions" and, upon gaining his SuperMode, "X.Y seconds. That is the time til your despair."
736*** Akiko Narumi: "I didn't hear about this!"
737*** Shun Makura: "That's 'Makura'[[note]]Makura des'[[/note]]!", said in response to Shotaro calling him "Makie".
738*** [[TheMovie Katsumi]] [[BigBad Daido]]: "Now, enjoy your Hell!"
739** [[Series/KamenRiderFourze Gentaro Kisaragi]]: "Uchuu KITAAAAA~!!"[[note]]Literally "Here comes SPAAAACE!!", but everyone has a different translation[[/note]], "[[LetsFightLikeGentlemen Let's do this man-to-man!]]" and "[[AllLovingHero I'm Gentaro Kisaragi, the man who will befriend everyone in this school!]]"
740*** Amusingly, later shows have demonstrated that whenever someone uses Fourze's powers (via a "Legend Rider" item), they shout Gentaro's main Catch Phrase reflexively: [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Takatora Kureshima]] managed to stop himself ("Uchuu...and that's as far as I'll entertain ''that'' notion."), while [[Series/KamenRiderGhost Makoto Fukami]] says the whole thing, leaving his friend Takeru wondering why he was shouting about space (his response was "How should I know?!"
741*** Ryusei Sakuta: "I will decide your fate!" After his MidSeasonUpgrade, he starts saying "My fate will call down a storm!"
742*** [[LovableAlphaBitch Miu Kazashiro]]: "[[GratuitousEnglish Oops.]]"
743*** [[TheSmartGuy Kengo]]: "Don't say my name so casually!" (Meaning he wants to be called Kengo-san, not just Kengo.)
744** [[Series/KamenRiderWizard Haruto Souma]]: "Now, it's showtime!", "I am the last hope." He also has a tendency to make a particular sound of relief (which sounds like "Fwee...") after a battle has ended.
745*** Kousuke Nitoh: "Now, it's breakfast time/lunchtime/time for the main dish!"
746** [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Kouta Kazuraba]]: "This is my/our stage now!"
747** [[Series/KamenRiderDrive Shinnosuke Tomari]]: "You're coming along for the ride!", "I'm done thinking about it!", "My brain cells are in top gear!"
748*** Gou Shijima: "Tracking! Terminating! Always at...Mach speed! Kamen Rider... Mach!"
749** [[Series/KamenRiderGhost Takeru Tenkuji]]: "My life is burning bright!"
750*** Makoto Fukami: "I'll show you my way of life!"
751*** Alain: "Listen to the call of your heart!"
752** [[Series/KamenRiderExAid Emu Hojo]]: "I'm gonna clear this with no continues!"
753*** Hiiro Kagami: "Commencing Bugster removal operation."
754*** Taiga Hanaya: "Mission start."
755*** Kiriya Kujo: "Now we're revving it up!" (before fight), "I'm on board!" (when he wants to be involved in battle)
756*** Kuroto Dan: "I'll clear this even if it means using continues!"
757*** [[spoiler:Masamune Dan: "It's time for Judgement."]]
758** [[Series/KamenRiderBuild Sento Kiryu]]: "Now, shall we begin the experiment?" (before transforming), "Build Up!" (changing form), "The law of victory is set!" (after finding the winning match)[[note]]Which has a ton of alternate translations including "I've found the formula for victory/the winning formula" and "Victory conditions have been cleared!"[[/note]], "This is terrible." (whenever things go wrong), "Ain't I great? Ain't I awesome? Ain't I a genius?" (praising his own work)
759*** Ryuga Banjou: "I feel like I can't lose right now!" (as Cross-Z), "I don't feel like losing!" (as Cross-Z Charge), "My power is overflowing, my soul is burning, and my magma is surging!" (as Cross-Z Magma).
760*** Kazumi Sawatari: "I'll let my passion burn, and crush you!"
761*** Gentoku Himuro: "You shall be a sacrifice for the greater good."
762** [[Series/KamenRiderZiO Sougo Tokiwa]]: "I feel like I can do this!" (before fighting)
763*** Woz (black and white): "Rejoice!"[[note]]Iwae![[/note]]
764*** Swartz: "I don't care about your opinion!"[[note]]Iken wa motomen![[/note]] (before forcing a person to become an Another Rider)
765** [[Series/KamenRiderZeroOne Aruto Hiden]]: "There's only one person who can stop you, and that's me!" (before finishing a Magia), "And that's how you know it's Aruto!"[[note]]Aruto ja nai to![[/note]] (as a kind of {{Rimshot}} after telling a bad pun)
766*** Isamu Fuwa: "I'll crush them all!"
767*** Yua Yaiba: "Violations of the Special A.I. Act spotted. Destroying targets."
768*** Gai Amatsu: "Kamen Rider Thouser. My power is on a completely different level." He's also extremely fond of declaring that things are 1000% complete, 1000% certain...pretty much 1000% anything and everything.
769** [[Series/KamenRiderSaber Touma Kamiyama]]: "This story's ending is for me to decide!", which makes sense considering that he is a writer.
770*** Rintaro Shindo: "I swear in the name of Suiseiken Nagare, that I will protect (this world/the people I value)!"
771*** Kento Fukamiya: "My feelings will pierce through!" (pre-battle), "End of story." (post-finisher)
772*** Yuri: "Amazing (saikou), isn't it?"
773*** Ryoga Shindai: "Don't anger me!"
774*** Storious: "How the story ends... is my decision!", an IronicEcho of Touma's catchphrase due to his goal being TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.
775** [[Series/KamenRiderRevice Ikki Igarashi]]: "Let's do this in one shot!", which contains elements of his given name (Ikki).[[note]]Ikki ni ikuze![[/note]]
776*** Hiromi Kadota: "I'll lay down my life, if it means [[[OncePerEpisode X]]]!"
777*** Daiji Igarashi: "Let's settle this for real!", which contains elements of his given name (Daiji).[[note]]Daiji ni kimeyouka![[/note]] He also has "Let's settle right from wrong" (or "black from white").

780** [[Series/KamenRiderGotchard Hotaro Ichinose]]: "Gotcha!"
781*** Supana Kurogane: "What a ridiculous joke."
782** Quite a few characters even have physical "Catch Phrases" (CharacterTics), such as [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga Yusuke's]] thumbs up, [[Series/KamenRider555 Takumi's]] wrist flick, [[Series/KamenRider555 Kusaka]] adjusting his collar, [[Series/KamenRiderHibiki Hibiki's]] salute, [[Series/KamenRiderKabuto Tendo's]] skyward pointing, [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Tsukasa]] dusting his hands...
783* ''Series/KenanAndKel'':
784** Kel's famous exchange. "Who loves orange soda?" "Kel loves orange soda!" "Is it true?" "Mm-hmm. I do, I do, I do-oo!"
785** Aaaaaaaaaaaw, here it goes!
786** WHHHHYYYYYY?!
787* ''Series/KidNation'': Taylor: "Deal with it!"
788* ''{{Series/Kojak}}'': "Who loves ya, baby?" - Creator/TellySavalas as Kojak.
789* Each gnome from {{Creator/Studio100}}'s Series/KabouterPlop would say their own names when they get surprise or excited.

792** Klus: "Klus De Klus"
793** Lui: "Lui De Lui"
794** Smal: "Smal De Smal"
795** Smul: "Smul De Smul"
796* ''Series/TheLarrySandersShow'' examples:
797** Larry ends each of his monologues with "No flipping!" as he mimes clicking on a remote, as a mock warning not to change the channel during the first commercial break.
798** Hank Kingsley uses his "Hey, now!" catch phrase during the ShowWithinAShow... and at pretty much all other times. He even gets fired from a StuntCasting gig as a plumber on ''Series/CarolineInTheCity'' because he insists on repeatedly ad-libbing his catch phrase.
799* ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent'': Detective Alex Eames often uses the phrase "No, see..." during questioning. It usually signals that the suspect being questioned is about to be hit over the head with proof that they just lied about something.
800* ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'': Elliot Stabler has "IDidWhatIHadToDo". His much-maligned wife lampshades this in "Clocks":
801-->'''Elliot''': IDidWhatIHadToDo!\
802'''Kathy''': Well, that's refreshing.
803** Guest character [[LabRat Dale Stuckey]] has a habit of saying "bing, bang, bong" when the pieces of a case come together. Given that he's an in-universe [[TheScrappy Scrappy]], it's mocked more than once.
804* ''Series/LazyTown'': Has quite a few:
805---> '''Sportacus''': "Someone's in trouble!"\
806'''Stephanie''': "There's always a way!" (She even has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKVNf6kuhv0 song that goes with it]])\
807'''Robbie Rotten''': "I meant to do that!" and "It's disguise time!"
808* ''Series/TheLeagueOfGentlemen'':
809** Has quite a few (listed on the show's page). They manage to avoid becoming the main source of the humour, and are mostly used for [[IncomingHam announcing the character's presence.]]
810** "You're my wife now."
811** "Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting? We'll have no trouble here."
812* ''Series/LegendsOfTheHiddenTemple'': Olmec: "The choice(s) is/are yours, and yours alone!"
813* ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''
814** Martin Stein's "Astonishing", whenever he sees something that, well, astonishes him. Gets lampshaded a few times by others.
815** More of a nickname than a catch phrase, but Savage always refers to Rip as "Gareeb", a word he called him during their first encounter in Ancient Egypt, even after he learns his name. "Gareeb" is Arabic for "stranger" (Rip obviously doesn't look Egyptian), which leads into FridgeLogic of Savage using a word from a language that wouldn't appear for centuries after that (then again, we have no idea what Ancient Egyptian sounded like).
816* ''Series/{{Leverage}}'' has mostly MadLibsCatchPhrase examples, but plays it straight with a few.
817** Hardison: "Age of the geek, Baby."
818** Elliot: "Dammit, Hardison!"
819** Parker: "What? I'm a thief!"
820** Nate: "Let's go steal a ______." Miracle, school, hospital and movie have all been used. When dealing with his ex-wife, Nate's catchphrase is "I can explain!" which WordOfGod says he used '''a lot''' when they were married.
821** Also Elliot, whenever he's asked how he knows something, replies "I slept with a lot of ________" (referring to some relevant occupation), or occasionally "It's a very distinctive ________" (weapon or fighting style usually). Also uses "There's something ''wrong'' with you" whenever Parker is...being Parker.
822* ''Series/{{Lexx}}'': Kai: "The dead do not _____."
823* ''Series/Lidsville'': Hoo Doo: "I want my mommy Hoo Doo!"
824* ''Series/LieToMe'':
825** Cal Lightman has this tendency to call women ''love'' (people just assume it's a British thing). And Loker, on one occasion.
826** He also has a tendency to point at someone and say "Ya see that[[note]]"That" being the look on that person's face[[/note]]? That's X", X being some emotion.
827* ''Series/{{Life On Mars 2006}}'': Sam frequently says. 'We have no evidence!', mostly because the other coppers in the CID are willing to put someone away with flimsy and/or planted evidence. Gene does a ShoutOut to that in episode 2x01 when he says. '..We have no flippin' evidence, and I can't believe I just said that!'
828* ''Life With Elizabeth'':
829** Creator/BettyWhite's early sitcom featured, "Elizabeth, aren't you ashamed?"
830** "I shall leave you at this point, Elizabeth."
831* ''Series/LittleBritain'':
832** Has quite a few, including:
833** Vicky: "Yeah, but, no, but..."
834** Lou: "What a kerfuffle!"
835** Dafydd: "I'm the only gay in the village!"
836** Dennis Waterman: "They want me to star in it, write the feme toon, sing the feme toon"
837* ''Series/LivAndMaddie'':
838** Liv and Karen singing instead of saying "Sing it Loud!"
839** Maddie's ''"BAM! WHAT?!"''
840** Joey has "Booya!"
841** Parker has "Challenge accepted!", whenever he's told something is impossible to build
842** Artie has "Burner!", usually followed by a highfive with his minions as well as "Minions, let's go!"
843** Johnny Nimbus's "HELLOOOOOOOO STEVENS POINT!!!"
844** Gemma's "Look at me -- CLOSER!"
845* ''Series/LoisAndClark'': In a ShoutOut to ''Series/TheAdventuresOfSuperman'', Perry's catchphrase became "Great Shades of [[Music/ElvisPresley Elvis]]!"
846* ''Series/LookAroundYou'': "Write that down in your copybook now." and "Look around you. ''Look'' around you. Just ''look'' around you. Do you know what we're looking for? Correct, the answer is..."
847* ''Series/{{Lost}}'':
848** Hurley has said "dude" 328 times as throughout the series, with an average of 3.2 D.P.E (dudes per episode). Yes, the fans [[http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Dude have counted]].
849** John Locke: "Don't tell me what I can't do."
850** Sawyer: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_YHV5fdUiQ "Son of a bitch."]]
851** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcatQSyRK6c What?]]
852** Michael: "WAAAAAAAALT!"
853** Desmond: "See you in another life, brother."
854*** Just calling people "brother" is something of a catchphrase for him.
855** Jack: "WE HAVE TO GO BACK!", which he only says in some form twice and in the same scene, but has since evolved to be his most well known saying (likely as it was the final sentence spoken at the end of the series' most famous cliffhanger). It is later revealed Locke first said this phrase to Jack.
856** Some fans joke about the amount of times characters say some variant of "why are you telling me this?" after being told a startling but seemingly irrelevant piece of information. Jack and Kate are the most common repeat offenders.
857** "Live together, die alone" is one of the more thematic catchphrases of the show and sometimes used as the quote that defines the series. It is first used by Jack at the beginning of the series to make the survivors work together ("if we can't live together, we're going to die alone"), and characters like Kate have repeated it. The season 2 finale is named "Live Together, Die Alone." Parodied in the season 3 finale, when Rose tells Jack that if he says the phrase she'll punch him in the face.
858** "What did one snowman say to the other snowman?" is a codephrase used by people in the Swan station to identify their replacement, the answer being "smells like carrots." "What lies in the shadow of the statue?" is a similar phrase used by several mysterious characters in season 5; its answer is [[spoiler: ''"Ille qui nos omnes servabit"'' - "He who will save/protect us all."]].
859** "Whatever happened, happened" (along with "What's done is done" and "Dead is dead") is the show's motto regarding time travel: whatever happened in the past always happened and always involved the time travelling characters; they just don't remember the events because they hadn't happened to them yet. Outside of ''Lost'', this idea is called Novikov's Self Consistency Principle.
860*** These three mantras are also used fairly often in season six outside of the context of time travel.
861** The idea that a character has "work to do" is commonly stated by others; this "work" usually involves the island. Characters who have been said to have "work to do" include Jack, Locke, Michael, and Hurley. Upon completing his "work," Michael was told by Christian Shephard that he "can go now" and was promptly [[spoiler:killed in the freighter explosion]].
862** Sayid: "My name is Sayid Jarrah, and I am a torturer."
863* ''Series/LostInSpace'':
864** Dr. Smith was fond of boasting "Have no fear, Smith is here!" Of course, given Smith's incompetence it was actually a warning that the stuff was about to hit the fan.
865** "Danger Will Robinson" from the Robot.
866* ''Series/MadMen'': Pete Campbell: "A thing like that."
867* ''MadMoney'': Host Jim Cramer's "Boo-yah!" and "Are you ready, Skee-Daddy?"
868* ''Series/MamasFamily'':
869** Iola's "Knock, knock!"
870** Vint's "Thanks a lot, Mama!"
871** Mama's "I'll bet the neighbors are just lovin' this!"
872* ''Series/TheMandalorian'':
873** "This is the way." The catchphrase for Mandalorians in general, but obviously gets the most mileage from Din Djarin, as well as the Armorer.
874** "I can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold." Djarin uses this line both on his own show and in ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'' when confronting one of his bounties. He also gets annoyed when a rival bounty hunter uses the line on him.
875** "I have spoken." Used by Kuiil when he's decided to do something and won't hear any further arguments. Later revealed to be commonly used by other Ugnauts.
876* ''Series/TheManyLovesOfDobieGillis'': Dobie's indolent beatnik pal Maynard G. Krebs would pop into a scene saying "You rang?" immediately after someone else referred to something dirty, dense, or otherwise undesirable. Co-opted decades later in ''Series/LaverneAndShirley'' by Lenny and Squiggy, saying "Hello!" in unison.
877* ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'':
878** Had Al's occasional catchphrase, "Let's rock." When the show moved to Saturdays, they ran ads with him saying "Let's [[Film/SaturdayNightFever disco]]!"
879** "Awww, Peg!"
880** Peg's way of getting Al's attention for a chore..."Oh Aaaa-yul!"
881** Whenever Al screws up...
882-->'''Peg:''' Thank your father, kids.
883-->'''Bud and Kelly:''' ''(scarastically)'' Thanks Dad!
884* ''Series/{{Martin}}'':
885** Everyone: “Tommy, you ain’t got no job!”
886** Sheneneh: “Oh no you di’int!”
887* ''Series/TheMightyBoosh''
888** Has several, some of which date back to the radio incarnation:
889-->'''Howard:''' "I can't die...I've got so much to give!" and "I'll come at you like a ??"
890-->'''Naboo:''' "I'm going to have to turn my back on you." ''(rotates 360 degrees while music plays)''
891-->'''Tony Harrison:''' "This is an outrage!"
892-->'''Bollo:''' "I got a bad feeling about this."
893** Vince Noir wants you to know that catchphrases are ''genius''.
894* ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}'':
895** There are frequent loud whispers of "Merlinnnn" on the cuts between scenes.
896** Uther is fond of "Camelot will not fall to magic while I am king." and telling Arthur "When you are king, you will understand."
897* ''Series/MillionaireMatchmaker'': Patti introduces every single matchmaking party with "Meet my Millionaires!"
898* ''Series/MimpiMetropolitan'':
899** Bambang has two: his go-to introduction "My name is Bambang, Bambang Soedarmo", often followed by "A good, nice and wise guy", and preceding his advice with some variation of "My father said".
900** Mami Bibir has "What did you just say?!" that is usually spoken incredulously.
901** Alexi likes to end his statements with "Am I right?", usually repeated three times.

903* ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood'': "Won't you be my neighbor?"
904* ''Series/{{Monk}}'': The title character Adrian Monk had several phrases:
905** "Here's what happened." (spoken just before TheSummation)
906** "Here's the thing."
907** "I don't know how he did it, but he did it."
908** "He's the guy." (or alternatively for RedHerring characters, "He's not the guy.")
909** "You'll thank me later." (this one he appeared to have picked up from his mother)
910** "It's a blessing, and a curse."
911** "Unless I'm wrong -- which you know, I'm not."
912** "Wipe!"
913* ''Series/TheMonkees'':
914** Had dozens of catchphrases and one-liners, many of them ad-libbed as inside jokes between the group. A few notable examples:
915** "Don’t do that!"
916*** Peter Tork stated that this was popularized by a funny line Creator/StanFreberg said on his guest appearance in the episode “Monkee vs. Machine.” Soon enough, everybody caught on to saying it.
917** "Isn’t that dumb?"
918** "Save the Texas Prairie Chicken!"
919** "You must be joking!"
920** "Love is the ultimate trip."
921** "Who WRITES that stuff???"
922** "I AM standing up."
923** Davy's high-pitched "Oooh!"

925** "Long-haired weirdos"
926* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'':
927** "It's...." - Michael Palin as the "It's" man
928** "And now for something completely different." - Creator/JohnCleese (although Creator/EricIdle said the line first in the series)

951** Echo, after making a {{pun}}: "You guys always take all the good ones!"
952** Anyone: "Dang!" Dang: "You called?"
953* ''Series/TheMuppetShow'':
954** "Wocka Wocka" - Fozzie Bear, after telling a joke. Notably, he rarely says it in the show proper; it was established as a catchphrase in later material.
955** "Do-hohohoho" - Statler & Waldorf after a sarcastic remark
956** "Kermie, Kermie, Kermie" - Miss Piggy, usually about to ask a favor.
957** "Yaaaaay!" - Kermit the Frog
958** "Bork bork bork!" - Swedish Chef, about to start his segment
959** "Meep!" - More often than not, [[OneWordVocabulary the only word Beaker can say]].
960* ''Series/MurdochMysteries'':
961** Murdoch is apt to say, "I have an idea," when he wants to use a new invention or technique to solve a problem, gather needed evidence or catch a culprit. When asking Constable Crabtree for an update on his inquiries, he says, "What have you, George?" or "George, what have you?"
962** Brackenreid shouting "Bloody hell, Murdoch!" whenever Murdoch does something he can't comprehend. He also calls Murdoch "me old mucker" at least Once per Episode, and calls Constable Crabtree "buggerlugs". And while he has "many aphorisms", his motto is, "Follow the money."
963** Agent Myers has "I can't tell you that; it's top secret." Also, he invokes "national security" so often that Murdoch comes to anticipate him and says it first.
964** James Gillies, that sick, sick bastard: "I'm flattered."
965* ''Series/MyHero2000'': Parodied with Dr. Piers Crispin, who is constantly saying "I am always here" in a desperate attempt to establish it as his CatchPhrase. It never sticks.
966* ''Series/MyNameIsEarl'':
967** Joy uses "Oh snap!". (A phrase shared with ''Series/ThatsSoRaven''.)
968** "Hey Crabman!" "Hey Earl!"
969* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'':
970** "We've got Movie Sign!"
971** In the ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S08E22OverdrawnAtTheMemoryBank Overdrawn at the Memory Bank]]'' episode, Crow tries to claim that his Catch Phrase is "You know you want me, baby!" in order to sell T-shirts, with Mike observing that he's never actually heard Crow say it before[[note]]In reality, the [=MST3K=] fanclub got a bunch of shirts with that phrase instead of one of Crow's ''actual'' Catch Phrases like "Bite me!" and had trouble selling them[[/note]]. Mike tries to find a Catch Phrase by reading a list of suggestions, but they all stink ("We're all out of toner!", "Don't run on my wet floor!" and the like). Ironically, he ''does'' have a Catch Phrase: "Pearl's calling."
972*** "Lawgiver!" for Bobo, "Boobies!" for Doctor Forrester, "Bite me! It's fun!" for Crow, "CROW!" for Mike and/or Joel. Also, in MSTings, "Intense (x) action!", "SUUUURGE!", "Sleeep!".
973** At the end of Joel & the 'bots' portion of the invention exchange: "What do you think, sirs?"
974** For the first (cable) season, Larry would send each movie up with a cheerful "Enjoy!", and Dr. Forrester would cap off the episode by telling him to "File this". When Larry was replaced in the second season by TV's Frank, both lines were likewise replaced with Forrester's "Push the button, Frank". Frank himself had... that, uh, noise he made. Kind of a "Hyuck-a-goo!"
975** Also from the first season, once Forrester and Erhardt had finished showing their invention:
976-->'''Forrester:''' Well, what do you think, [demeaning nickname for Joel]?
977-->'''Joel:''' I think it's the most [long, rambling discription, usually including the word "evil" as well as some variation on "stupid" and a lot of adjectives] I've ever seen!
978--> '''Forrester & Erhardt:''' [[InsultBackfire Why, ]]''[[InsultBackfire thank]]'' [[InsultBackfire you!]] (''They also had a tendency to lean into each other and the camera while saying this, and use falsetto on the word "thank".'')
979*** In "Earth vs. The Spider", which was basically a homage to season one, the exchange happens again; Forrester and Frank look somewhat embarrassed after their finishing line.
980* ''Series/MythBusters'':
981** "Well ''there's'' your problem!"
982** Not to mention all the great throwaway lines that become catchphrases via repetition in the opening credits, like: "I reject your reality and substitute my own!", "Jamie want big boom!", and "I just had one of those what-the-''hell''-are-we-doing moments."
983*** Someone forgot, "Am I missing an eyebrow?"
984** While the disclaimer changes now and then, the one that remains indelibly linked to the show is "Please, don't try this at home." "EVER!"
985** "If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing."
986** "When in doubt... Lubricate." Or "When in doubt...[[MadeOfExplodium C4]]."
987** Anyone order some exploding pants?
988* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'':
989** Gibbs lets out a "You ''think?''" go at least once an episode, usually directed at someone who has made a [[SarcasmMode brilliant insight helpful in solving the case.]]
990** He also says "English, Abbs/[=McGee=]" in response to TechnoBabble.
991** Gibbs also has a catch-gesture: giving other characters (most often Tony) a DopeSlap because they're standing around/saying something stupid/just for the hell of it.
992*** He also likes to add "un-" in front of verbs. If someone tells him they have lost something or someone has disappeared, he usually says "unlose it" or "undisappear him" instead of "find it/him".
993** And Tony has a habit of saying "You see my dilemma" quite often.
994*** And inherited the DopeSlap while Gibbs was incapacitated.
995** And a catch-exchange between Gibbs and Tony:
996---> '''Gibbs:''' Gear up! We got a dead marine at [insert location].\
997'''Tony:''' On your six, boss!
998** Abby's catch-phrase is an excited "Gibbs! Gibbs! Gibbs! Gibbs! Gibbs!" whenever she learns something important. She even lampshades it herself when she calls the bullpen while Gibbs is away.
999---> '''Abby:''' Which one of you wants to be "Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs"?
1000* ''Series/NoahsArc'': Alex: Whats the T! (Often followed by "gurl")
1001* ''TheNewYankeeWorkshop'' has host Norm Abram's warning to the viewers to exercise the proper cautions when working with power tools. "Be sure to read understand and follow all the safety rules that come with your power tools. Knowing how to use your power tools properly will greatly reduce the risk of personal injury. And remember this, there is no more important safety rule than to wear these(points to his glasses)safety glasses!"
1002* ''Series/NobutaWoProduce'': Has several. One of the most iconic is used in almost every episode by Nobuta to try to up her confidence level: "Nobuta power, CHUU NYUU!", which comes with a Magic Girl-esque pose. Shuji has a couple too, the most common being "Bye Bye-cycle!" (accompanied by a mine of bicycle handles) and "Do~nichi~getsu~ka~sui~mo~kin~doOOoOoOoo!" But Akira has by far the most out of all the characters, due to his habit of exclaiming certain phrases when surprised. "Kon kon!" is the most recognized of all these among fans(as with the previous characters, it comes with a signiture move; a hand barking like a fox) Also, theres "Akira SHOCK!", "Akira DOWN~" and "Shu~u~ji-kun!"
1003[[/folder]]
1004
1005[[folder:Shows O-R]]
1006* ''Series/OddSquad'': Most of the main characters, as well as some side characters, have at least one.
1007** By far the most famous one of the series is Oprah's "There you [two/three/four] are, something very odd has happened", which she uses when giving agents cases and which is often followed by "Well, what are you waiting for? Go!". She also has "[name of agents], in my office, now!" when calling agents up to her office, although this was dropped in Season 3.
1008** Olive has "Let's go" and "Go for Olive", the latter of which is used for answering her phone.
1009*** Otis has "Go for Otis" which he uses when answering his phone, similar to Olive's. Bonus points go to the fact that he is her replacement in Season 2.
1010*** Opal has "Go for Opal" as her catchphrase for answering her phone. Unlike Otis, she's not Olive's replacement, but she is a partial {{Expy}} of her.
1011*** Even Oprah gets in on it, often saying "Go for O" or "Go for Oprah" when picking up her badge phone.
1012** Otto has the MadLibsCatchphrase "Boom-____-a-lotta", and also has "O-T-T-O" as his go-to phrase for answering his phone.
1013** Oscar often greets others by saying "Hey guys!" He also has "Yello!" for answering his phone, although he doesn't use it often.
1014** Similarly, Oona greets others (both physically and on the phone) by saying "Howdy-do!"

1023** The show was the source of the name for DuringTheWar, an article originally intended to be UsefulNotes/WorldWarII specific.

1025** Uma: "Nice!" and "Pretty."

1047** "I'm/he's a ''very'' private person."
1048** "A concerned third party"
1049** "Our mutual friend" is used a lot, usually to refer to Reese or Finch.
1050** "I wasn't talking to you."
1051* ''PinonFijo'': "Chu-chu-hua, chu-chu-hua, chu-chu-hua-hua-hua" from
1052* The Dutch show ''Series/PipoDeClown'' does this a lot.
1053** Pipo:
1054** "Hup, Nononono, vooruit met de voetjes!" [[labelnote:Translation]] "Go, Nononono, with your feet!"[[/labelnote]]
1055** "Hou 's even vast, Mammaloe" [[labelnote:Translation]] "Hold on, Mamaloe."[[/labelnote]]
1056** "Sapperdeflap!" (this one reached MemeticMutation levels into becoming standard Dutch vocabulary).
1057** Klukkluk:

1065* Series/{{Pizza}}:
1066** '''Pauly:''' "Stooge!/. (He learned that word from a teacher back in his high school days).
1067** '''Bobo:''' "Get Back to Work!", "Shut Up!", "Fat Pizza, Pizzas, they're big and they're cheesey".
1068** '''Habib:''' "Oh Mah God", "Uleh", "Tuk it easy".

1076** '''Toula:''' "Oh Mah God", "Habibi".
1077** '''Aussie Pub Guy:''' "LET'S GET 'EM!"
1078* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'': (Not including InTheNameOfTheMoon or ByThePowerOfGreyskull phrases, or [[CallingYourAttacks attack/weapon names]], which would make this section endless.):
1079** Rita: "I have a headache!" She even used it when she made a cameo appearance seasons later as [[spoiler:Mystic Mother]].
1080** Rangers Season 1: ""Morphenomenal"
1081** Alpha Five: "Ay-yi-yi!" (For particularly stressful situations, four or even ''six'' yi-s might be needed.)
1082** Alpha Six: "Yo, yo, yo!" (And then "Ay-yi-yi," once he becomes seen as TheScrappy, and so [[AuthorsSavingThrow winds up damaged and repaired]] with speech circuits meant for Five.)
1083** Zordon: "My worst fear(s) has (have) been realized!" (For such a powerful and ancient sage, he's got a lot of worst fears.) An occasional variant was "the thing that I fear the most has happened."
1084** Zordon's also got "Report to the command center immediately" and "Observe the viewing globe."
1085** Jason: (and later others) "Back to action!"
1086** Nearly every BigBad (or the minion whose job includes monster growth) has a unique monster-growth phrase. From the top:
1087*** [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Rita]]: "Magic wand, MakeMyMonsterGrow!"
1088*** [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Rita and Zedd]]: "Make our monster grow!"
1089*** [[Series/PowerRangersZeo Klank]], spinning to throw Orbus: "Around and around and away we go!"
1090*** [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Divatox]]: "Fire the torpedoes!"
1091*** [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace Astronema]]: "Fire the Satellasers!"
1092*** [[Series/PowerRangersWildForce Toxica]]: "Evil spirits of toil and strife, give this fallen Org new life!"
1093*** [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Lothor]] or minions: "Scroll of empowerment, descend!"
1094*** [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder Mesogog]] or minions: "Activate/Engaging the Hydro-Regenerator."
1095*** [[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Koragg]], user of Harry Potter-ish spell words: "''Uthra Mejor!/Uthe Mejor!''" (Uthra's proper. Uthe tends to start any spell that applies to Koragg himself.)
1096*** [[Series/PowerRangersRPM Venjix]]: "Begin the download. Now." Other villains try, but they just can't say it the way he does.
1097*** Not that unlisted series don't employ the MakeMyMonsterGrow ''phenomenon,'' just that the same thing isn't said every time.
1098** Various: "Your brand of evil will never win!" ([[FridgeLogic So another sort of evil might]]?)
1099*** [[Series/PowerRangersRPM Apparently]], [[AfterTheEnd Venjix's brand works just fine]].
1100** Various: "That's how it's done/we do it, [color] Ranger style!"
1101** Various: "Let's Ranger up!"
1102** Time Force team, post monster-finishing: "Your time's up!"
1103** SPD team, post monster-finishing: "You're going down!"
1104** Mystic Force team, post monster-finishing: "Checkmate!" Sometimes with a finger-snap. ([[FridgeLogic With gloves]].)
1105** Oddly enough, Tommy said something along the lines of 'With the Power Rangers, there's always possibilities' as a throwaway line that was then used once or twice more by his character, once almost a decade after he first said it. Halfway between a catchphrase and a callback.
1106** Various: Once a Ranger, always a Ranger.
1107* ''Series/PressYourLuck'': "Big bucks, no [[{{Whammy}} Whammies]]... STOP!"
1108* ''Series/ThePretender'':
1109** Jarod: "Oh by the way, I'm not really [a/an whatever]."
1110** Miss Parker almost always answers the phone by demanding "What?"
1111** Kyle, before his heel-face turn: "I decide who lives or dies."
1112* ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'':
1113** Has used "the actual retail price" ever since 1959. Prior to that, the big reveal phrase was "the actual retail value."
1114** Also, "Come on down!" on the CBS show since 1972.
1115** "...and it/all of this can be yours if the price is right!"
1116* ''Series/APrinceAmongMen'':
1117** From the show, we have Gary's "Hey, I'm always right!"
1118* ''Series/{{The Prisoner|1967}}'':
1119** Repeatedly uses the phrase "Be seeing you", with a characteristic hand gesture of making a circle around one eye, referencing the surveillance in The Village.
1120** And there's the ultimate question "Why did you resign?"
1121** That would be telling.
1122** "I am not a number...I am a free man!"
1123* ''Series/ProjectRunway'':
1124** Host Tim Gunn has "Make it work," as a way to encourage the contestants. He'll also say, "I'm concerned," when a designer's work isn't going well.
1125** Host Heidi Klum has a number of stock speeches she makes in each episode. She ends many with "...one of you will be out." Upon elimination, she bids the departer farewell with a kiss on the cheek and "Auf Wiedersehen." She does this with the designers and the models.
1126* ''Series/PunkyBrewster'': "Holy Macanoly!"
1127* ''Series/PushingDaisies'':
1128** Before the narrator lists the things that happened in the crime of the week, he says "The facts were these..."; when switching from the A to the B plot, he'll almost always say "At this very moment, in the town of Coueur d'Coueurs..."
1129** Emerson Cod has "Oh ''HELL'' no!"
1130* ''Series/QuantumLeap'':
1131** After assessing his situation after each leap, Sam will declare (in various inflections) "Oh, boy."
1132** AvertedTrope in one episode, in which he says, "Oy vey, I'm the rabbi."
1133* ''Series/QueerAsFolkUS'': Brian: "Listen to me! Are you listening?", especially when he's talking to someone who's upset.
1134* ''Series/ReadingRainbow'': "But you don't have to take my word for it..."
1135* ''Series/RedDwarf'':
1136** Someone saying ''"What a guy!"'' whenever [[spoiler: Ace Rimmer, Arnold Rimmer's dashing action hero counterpart from another dimension]] shows up. And his own catchphrase: ''"Smoke me a kipper - I'll be back for breakfast"''.
1137** Does that really have to be covered up? there were two episodes about that and with no mystery.
1138** Smeg!
1139* ''Series/TheRedGreenShow'':
1140** Ended each episode according to a set formula, with Red assuring the camera that "if my wife is watching, I'll be coming ''straight home''".
1141** Marg Margison's portion of the show (e'' after the meeting and...[changes every episode]", then adding "And to the rest of you, thanks for watching. On behalf of myself and Harold and the whole gang up here at Possum Lodge... keep your stick on the ice."
1142** Also heard during the closing meeting is the Lodge motto: "Quando omni flunkus, moritati." Loose translation: "When all else fails, play dead."
1143*** Sit down.
1144** Then there's Red's snappy advice, usually given just before whipping out the duct tape: "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!" Also, each of his frequent pep talks to fellow middle-aged schlubs concluded thusly: "Remember, I'm pulling for you, 'cause we're all in this together."
1145*** In at least one episode, Harold gave the advice segment instead of Red, and inverted his closing catchphrase to "Remember, you're on your own, don't push it."
1146** Don't forget the Man's Prayer: "I am a man... but I can change... if I have to... I guess."
1147* ''Series/{{Revolution}}'':
1148** Randall Flynn says "I just want us to be friends," only twice in the episode "[[Recap/RevolutionS1E7TheChildrensCrusade The Children's Crusade]]". Still, it is quite a memorable line.
1149** Drexel in "[[Recap/RevolutionS1E6SexAndDrugs Sex and Drugs]]" is quite fond of saying "Fun and games". Since he's a violent, sadistic, AxCrazy drug lord, his definition of "fun and games" is a little warped.
1150* ''Series/{{Riget}}'': Danskjävlar! (Danish devils!)
1151* ''Series/RobinHood'':
1152** This show loves these:
1153** The Sheriff has "A clue: no" (the name of an episode), as well as the sarcastic "Oh, la-de-dah-de-dah." Allan-A-Dale gets "I'm not trying to be funny, but...", and Little John has "We go to (insert place)", "(Insert name or item) I like/do not like" and "It's a good day to die"
1154** In the second season, the whole gang adopts "We Are Robin Hood", which also becomes an episode title.
1155** Every single one of these was dropped in the third series, which featured more or less a completely new team of writers, with the exception of one use each for the Sheriff's 'la-de-dah-de-dah', Little John's 'we go to Nottingham' and one 'We Are Robin Hood!' in the finale.
1156* ''Series/{{Rolli}}'': "Kautta likaisten varpaitteni!" (Finnish: "By my dirty toes!")
1157* ''Series/RowanAndMartinsLaughIn'':
1158** A six-note pattern preceding a code-word or punchline to an off-color joke, such as "do-doo-doo-da-do-doo ... smack!" or "... family jewels!" (sometimes extended to 18 notes by repeating the GGGDEC pattern two more times before the code-word). This same musical phrase had been used as a "signature" at the end of many pieces played by Spike Jones and his City Slickers.
1159** "I didn't know that." (Dick Martin's occasional response to what happened on an episode)
1160** "Easy for you to say!' (Dan Rowan's reply whenever Dick Martin tripped on his tongue during a joke)
1161** "Ohhh, I'll drink to that." (Martin's response to something Rowan said that he liked.)
1162** "I was wondering if you'd mind if I said something my aunt once said to me." A phrase that Dick Martin would always say to interrupt Dan Rowan's announcements on what would happen during their next show; this phrase was followed by a story about a bizarre situation that his aunt went through.
1163** "Look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls!" (a lesser-known set of reference books whose phonetically funny name helped both ''Laugh-In'' and ''Series/TheTonightShow'' with Johnny Carson to poke fun at NBC censors)
1164*** Usually followed by an AsideGlance to the camera and "That's a ''dictionary'', don't ya know."
1165** "Go to your room."
1166** "Uncle Al had to take a lot of medicine last night" (line by Uncle Al, the Kiddies' Pal, played by Alan Sues)
1167** "You bet your sweet bippy!"
1168** "Here come de judge!" (reprising comedian Pigmeat Markham and further popularized by guest stars Flip Wilson and especially Sammy Davis Jr.)
1169** "Beautiful downtown Burbank" (various actors/characters, referring tongue-in-cheek to the Los Angeles suburb in which the NBC studios (and thus the program) were located; the same term was frequently used by Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson).
1170** "'Ello, 'ello! NBC, beautiful downtown Burbank" (the response to calls received by a switchboard operator played by Judy Carne). When the series was syndicated in 1983, the NBC logo and the network's name were edited out.
1171** "And that's the truth." (Edith Ann, summarizing whatever she just said, and capping it with a juicy raspberry)
1172** "One ringy-dingy...two ringy-dingies..." (Ernestine's mimicking of the rings while she was waiting for someone to pick up the receiver on the other end of the telephone lines)
1173** "A gracious good afternoon. This is Miss Tomlin of the telephone company. Have I reached the party to whom I am speaking?" Ernestine's greeting to people whom she would call
1174** "I just wanna swing!" Gladys Ormphby's catchphrase
1175** "Is that a chicken joke?" Jo Anne Worley's outraged cry, a takeoff on Polish jokes
1176** "Here comes the big finish, folk!" (usually before the last of a series of a star's bad puns)
1177** "Sock it to me!" experienced its greatest exposure on Laugh-In although the phrase had been featured in songs like Aretha Franklin's 1967 "Respect" and Mitch Ryder's 1966 "Sock It To Me, Baby!"
1178** "Oh, that Henny Youngman"
1179** "Marshall [=McLuhan=]... what're you doin'?" (Henry Gibson)
1180** "I don't know. I've never been out with one!" (First introduced by guest star Marcel Marceau, this catch-all punchline would be uttered by any guest star. Goldie: "Are you of the opposite sex?" Tiny Tim: "I don't know, Miss Goldie, I've never been out with one.")
1181** "Blow in my ear and I'll follow you anywhere."
1182** "Now, that's a no-no!"
1183** "Tune in next week when Henny Youngman's wife burns Jell-o!"
1184** "If [so-and-so] married [what's-his-name], divorced him and married {etc.}" The purpose being to try to set up a tongue-twister, involving the last names of celebrities. Example: "If Rosemary Clooney married Regis Toomey, divorced him and married Mickey Rooney, divorced him and married Paul Muni, divorced him and re-married Regis Toomey, she'd be Rosemary Clooney Toomey Rooney Muni Toomey!" Sometimes, the punchline results would be take-offs of songs or plays or products: "If Kaye Ballard married former astronaut Wally Schirra, divorced him, married his brother, she'd be [singing "Que Sera, Sera"] Kaye Schirra Schirra."
1185** "Morgul the Friendly Drelb" (a pink Abominable Snowman-like character that appeared in the first episode and bombed so badly that his name was used in various announcements by Gary Owens for the rest of the series (usually at the end of the opening cast list, right after Owens himself: "Yours truly, Gary Owens, and Morgul as the Friendly Drelb!") and credited as the author of a paperback collection of the show's sketches)
1186** "That's the most beautiful thing I ever heard."
1187** "Ring my chimes!"
1188** "Veddy Innnnnnnnteresting!"
1189** "Want a Walnetto?", was a pick-up line Tyrone would try on Gladys, which always resulted in a purse drubbing.
1190** "We have to stop meeting like this. My wife's getting suspicious." (or some other variant form of the phrase)
1191* ''Radio/RoyalCanadianAirFarce'': Had a few of these, though without a doubt the best ones went to characters played by John Morgan before his untimely death. The two most famous are "Ach, get stuffed!" (as Jock [=McBile=] the left-handed, West Coast immigrant bagpipe technician) and "I'm Mike...from Canmore..." (as...well, yeah.) Roger Abbott's impersonation of Jean Chretien also deserves mention for his tendency to begin speeches with "Hello, pipples of Canada!" (Including a segment where the former PM, on vacation, wrote a postcard beginning with that exact phrase, spelling included.)
1192[[/folder]]
1193
1194[[folder:Shows S-V]]
1195* ''Series/SamAndCat'':
1196** Sam still calls herself "Mama" like she did on ''Series/ICarly'' and Cat still has "Yay" and "Kay kay" from Victorious.
1197*** In addition to calling herself "Mama", Sam also tends to call people, especially Cat and Dice, "kid". Usually when they are upset and she tries to console them.
1198** Dice usually enters the apartment saying: "I'm coming in with a...", he also has a habit of saying "Dude!" when he's upset or annoyed at someone.
1199** Goomer often says "I am Goomer!" when he's being introduced, he also adopts Cat's "Kay kay".
1200** Nona often starts her stories with "Back when I was young...", which leads to the listener sighing in annoyance.
1201** Tandy has a very sarcastic sounding "Oh No!" as a response to someone telling him a bad/sad fact.
1202* ''Series/SanfordAndSon'':
1203** Fred: "You big dummy!"; "It's the big one!"; "You hear that, Elizabeth? I'm coming to join you, honey!"
1204** Aunt Esther: “Watch it, sucker!”; “You old fish-eyed fool.”
1205** Grady: “Good googly goo.”
1206* ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures''
1207** Clyde Langer has used the phrase "Clyde Langer, [occupation]" on numerous occasions (eg "Clyde Langer, secret agent", or "Clyde Langer, alien hunter").
1208** Especially in Season 1 but sometimes also later, Luke responds with "Is that good or bad?" when someone states something he did
1209* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'':
1210** Entire seasons are memorable solely for what {{Catch Phrase}}s they developed and then beat into the ground. ''Series/TheState'' parodied this mercilessly with their sketch about "Louie, the guy who comes in and says his catch phrase over and over again." (Louie's catch phrase was "I wanna dip my balls in it!")
1211** ''[[Series/SaturdayNightLive SNL]]'' itself parodied this with an animated sketch detailing "The life and death of a CatchPhrase".
1212** John Belushi's catchphrase on SNL was "But nooooooo..." and Steve Martin's was "Excuuuuse me".
1213** Hard-of-hearing senior Emily Litella would mishear the topic of her commentary; when corrected she would respond, "Never mind."
1214** The Olympia Grill's "Chee'burga chee'burga."
1215** "Hello, I'm Chevy Chase and you're not!"
1216** Point/Counterpoint, where Dan Aykroyd would start his response to Jane Curtin's remarks with "Jane, you ignorant slut."
1217** Then there's Chris Farley as Matt Foley. "I am 35 years old, I am thrice-divorced, and I ''live in a van down by the river''."
1218** "[[OnceAnEpisode Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!!!]]"
1219** Creator/PhilHartman as Frankenstein's monster: "Fire bad!"
1220** Dana Carvey's Grumpy Old Man: "[[WhenIWasYourAge And that's the way it was]] and we ''liked'' it!" (or variants).
1221** Dana Carvey's Church Lady had "Could it be... ''Satan?''" when inferring evil motivations behind anything and everything. She'd also mock whatever her guest or subject had to say with, "Well, isn't that special?"
1222* ''Series/TheSavageEye'':
1223** Hector Ó hEochagáin: "Rahoo! Rahoo! Rahoo!"
1224** John Duffy: "How did that make you feel?", "Ah jeeyaysus"
1225** Mick 'The Bull' Daly: "Fuckin' quaaares!"
1226** Pat Kenny: "Woooooooow"
1227** Patsy: "Stick it in a pan!"
1228* ''Series/{{Scandal}}'': Olivia has two: "Tell the president to", usually followed by something that will be roughly meaning "go screw himself" and "It's my name on that door", followed by something among the lines of a "we'll do what I decided".
1229* ''Series/SchittsCreek'': The one character specific catch-phrase is Alexis's "Eww, David." Additionally, all the Roses have a tendency to say "Oh my God!" when stressed.
1230* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'':
1231** The Todd: "*insert event or statement* Five!"
1232** J.D. says "Eeeeeagle!" when being spun in the air (which happens surprisingly often.)
1233** Elliot's "Frick!". Often made into something like "double frick!", or, once, [[RefugeInAudacity "Frick, fricky frickfrick!"]]
1234** Ted has a disappointed/frustrated "Awwwwww...":
1235-->'''Dr. Cox:''' (''giving a speech to Carla explaining what makes each staff member funny'') ...and Ted is the hospital [[TheEeyore Sad Sack]].\
1236'''Ted:''' I am?\
1237'''Dr. Cox:''' Yes.\
1238'''Ted:''' Awwwwww...
1239* ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'':
1240** Has more than a few; Elaine's "Get out!" George's indignant "We're living in a SOCIETY" and frightened "Lupus? Is it lupus?!" are among the more memorable ones for the main characters, but many come from incidental characters such as the Soup Nazi's "No soup for you!" and Babu Bhatt's "You are a very bad man".
1241** "Hello, Newman."
1242** "Gold, Jerry! Gold!"
1243** "Giddy up!"
1244** "That's a shame." - Jerry, when something bad happens to others.
1245** "I'm kind of in the middle of something." - Jerry, when interrupted.
1246** "Snapple?" "No thanks."
1247** "But I don't ''want'' to be a ______!"
1248** (Sarcastically) "who is this?" - Usually Jerry when another of the gang desperately needs his help and is speaking in a jumbled manner.
1249** Following Season 6's "The Jimmy", "[[ThirdPersonPerson George]] [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry is getting (emotion)]]!"
1250* ''Series/SesameStreet''': "Hi-ho, Kermit the Frog here, with a Sesame Street News Flash."
1251* "Conundrum" in ''Series/SevenDays''. Justified, since this is a code word to be used by Frank (or another chrononaut) to indicate that something [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble has/will gone/go]] to hell within the next week, necessitating a [[TimeTravel Backstep]].
1252* ''Series/ShearGenius'': The host says to each week's winner, "Congratulations, your work is sheer genius." To the loser he says, "I'm sorry, this was your final cut."
1253* ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'': Both Sherlock and Moriarty like to throw the words [[InsufferableGenius "boring" and "bored"]] around a lot.
1254** Sgt. Sally Donovan tends to greet Holmes with "Hello, Freak!"
1255* ''Series/{{Shtisel}}'' has Nuchem's ''"reshoim arurim"'' (damn evil people), which he says about anyone he doesn't like.
1256* ''Series/SisterSister'': "''Go home'', Roger!''
1257* ''Series/SledgeHammer'': "Trust me. I know what I'm doing." [[HilarityEnsues Disaster ensues]].
1258* ''Series/SlingsAndArrows'': Geoffrey seems to go through one of these every season, to explain why he won't be directing whichever Creator/WilliamShakespeare play the StoryArc is focusing on. The first season, he's "not mentally equipped for the task at this time." The second season, it's "extraordinarily difficult to stage effectively." Also, there's this recurring dialogue snippet:
1259--> '''Geoffrey''': Get me a coffee. Black.
1260--> '''Anna''': Cream and sugar?
1261--> '''Geoffrey''': Yeah. Black.
1262* ''Series/{{Soap}}'': Doorbell rings, nobody moves. An awkward silence passes as all characters present wait for the door to be answered. Benson, the butler, after a few seconds, will ask "You want me to get that?", at which point Jessica responds with some variation of "If you don't mind, Benson."
1263* ''Series/SonnyWithAChance'' has several:
1264** "Are there, troper? Are there really?"
1265** [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Chad. Dylan. Cooper]] and also Chad being the greatest actor of his generation.
1266*** "Peace out, suckers!"
1267** "Fine!" "Fine!" "Good!" "Good!"
1268* ''Series/TheSopranos'':
1269** Has "fuhgeddaboutit" often said by Tony and a few other characters. This is an {{homage}} to the movie ''Film/DonnieBrasco'', where all the gangsters are perpetually using it, and Creator/JohnnyDepp and Tim Blake Nelson get into a conversation about its exact meaning.
1270** It has also been claimed that Tony says "You've gotta be fuckin' kiddin' me," in every episode. Which, incidentally, is a line from ''Film/TheThing1982''.
1271** And of course...[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRkE_Gv6ALM OH!]] They also like to say "there he is" where most people would just say ''hello''.
1272* ''Series/SordidLivesTheSeries'':
1273** Sisay has a lot of them: "Sweet baby Jesus!" "I know it...I know it...I know it..." (when talking on the phone) "Woooooo!" (in reply to Noleta calling out likewise when she is at the front door)
1274** There's also Juanita's "Is this WCNT, where country is still cool?"
1275* The BBC SketchComedy ''Series/SorryIveGotNoHead'' bases a lot of humour around catchphrases (many of them [[MadLibsCatchphrase Mad Lib]]):
1276** "Sorry, it's just that I've got no head."
1277*** "Of course I can't tell, because I haven't got a head, but it sure feels like good [task]."
1278** "You're going to use your time machine to go into the future and see [something] so we can go to the [building] earlier!"
1279** "A THOUSAND POUNDS! THAT'S ABSURD!"
1280*** "Nothing's free these days." "Except for those free [thing]."
1281** "I think I picked [country] by mistake. Is that a problem?" "Not for me."
1282** "Is there a bee in here?"
1283** "Do you have trouble [everyday action]? [More specific rephrasing]? Well, that's because you're using a [random object] instead of [object normally used for task], you idiot!" (for example, "Do you have trouble mowing the lawn? No matter how hard you try, your lawn always ends up the same as it was before? Well, that's because you're using a horseshoe instead of a lawnmower, you idiot!")
1284** "Remember [person]?"
1285*** "He would have loved that [singer]."
1286*** "So what happened to [aforementioned person]?"
1287* ''Series/SportsCenter'':
1288** Especially during the Creator/KeithOlbermann-Dan Patrick era, was a virtual catch phrase factory.
1289** Chris Berman with his "Backbackbackbackbackbackback..GONE!", and "HE. COULD. GO. ALL. THE. WAY!
1290* ''Series/SportsNight'': Jeremy had "And I'm sensing that..."
1291* ''Series/StargateAtlantis'':
1292** "OhCrap...!" -Rodney [=McKay=]
1293*** Sheppard was fond of it as well. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yig5CBGPzs Once]], when the situation that had prompted whoever used it this time to say it was explained, ''an Asgard'' said, in that deadpan voice, "Crap, indeed."
1294* ''Series/StargateSG1'':
1295** Teal'c's usual "Indeed". It was "I see" in the first few episodes before he switched. Eventually {{Lampshaded}} by Ronon, to which he responded, "Do I? I had not noticed." Also, in Teal'c pitch to Martin Lloyd for a show called ''Teal'c PI'' has Teal'c throwing a guy through a glass door, while wearing a trenchcoat and a fedora and then delivering his usual line "In-deed".
1296** Jack O'Neill has:
1297*** "Oh, for crying out loud!"
1298*** "...riiight."
1299*** "Yeah, sure, you betcha!" (eventually mimicked by Carter a few times, most notable as she goes through the Stargate with Thor to save the entire Asgard Race as O'Neill tells her to have fun)
1300*** And his immortal responses to any technical problem: "Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai" or "Don't tell me, I know this... magnets!"
1301*** Also, in response to any CaptainObvious moment: "Ya ''think?''" Which sounds even better when it comes out of Teal'c mouth during a FreakyFridayFlip.
1302*** "It's "O'Neill," with two L's"
1303*** The first time this is said, Jack references another Colonel O'Niel who has just one L in his name, who has no sense of humor. This is most likely a reference to Kurt Russell's original portrayal of Jack O'Niell in the first Stargate film, in which it is spelled with only one L. Despite this, these two characters are undoubtedly the same character.
1304** Sam Carter's catch phrase in early seasons was "Holy Hannah!" She dropped this eventually, though.
1305*** And then her dad became a recurring character, and ''he'' said it. Makes sense she'd pick it up from her father.
1306** Jonas Quinn is a fast learner. He also started out the series with "It's my first time * insert event here* ," but he eventually quit.
1307** Cameron Mitchell has been accused of using "What?" as his catch phrase. He also has "That's what I'm talking about!"
1308** Hammond's: "Open the iris." Also, "Godspeed," and when authorizing the team to go on a mission he says, "You have a go."
1309** The unforgettable "Chevron seven, locked."
1310*** Sgt. Harriman (Walter) [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lantern]] on his own catch phrase in one episode where he's describing his duties to a journalist.
1311--->'''Sgt. Harriman:''' “Basically, when the ’Gate is dialing, I say ‘Chevron One, encoded; Chevron Two, encoded’ and so on, incrementally, until the seventh Chevron, which is a little different because that’s when the wormhole connects. When that happens, I like to change things up a little bit and just say ‘Chevron Seven, locked.’”
1312** And from any Goa'uld-affiliated character: "Jaffa, kree!" ("Jaffa" refers to any member of the Jaffa race, or any subordinate in general. ''Officially,'' "Kree" is a call to attention, though in practice, it's been used to mean pretty much anything and everything. ''Some'' situations could be summed up as "yoo-hoo!" and "Hello?! Pay attention, and respond to the situation as I trained you!" - mostly after this revelation.)
1313*** "Kree" is used in so many different contexts that O'Neill, [[DeadpanSnarker of course]], eventually [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it by asking Daniel, "All right, just what the heck does 'Kree' mean?" It's also apparently the only Goa'uld he knows, as seen in his [[MostDefinitelyNotAVillain abysmal attempt]] to impersonate a snakehead:
1314--->'''O'Neill:''' "Jaffa, Kree!"
1315--->'''First Prime:''' [Rapid stream of Goa'uld]
1316--->'''O'Neill:''' "...You heard me, I said 'kree'!"
1317** Also Daniel's "I have no idea."
1318** The Ori have "Hallowed are the Ori."
1319** IDieFree is practically the motto of the Jaffa rebellion.
1320* ''Franchise/StarTrek'': The various shows in this franchise have a lot of these, having been around a while:
1321** Each captain, starting with Picard, has his/her own [[TrademarkFavoriteFood favorite drink that s/he's constantly ordering from the replicator]] in any ready room scene: "Tea, Earl Grey, hot" for Picard, "Raktajino" for Sisko, and "Coffee, black" for Janeway.
1322*** Because of this, a magazine's interview with Patrick Stewart was captioned "Stop sending him tea-bags."
1323*** Played with in non-canon novel ''Ship of the Line'' where Picard muses to Riker that maybe he should order a "Hot grey tea earl," and give the computer a stroke.
1324** Various AppliedPhlebotinum commands, such as "Engage," "Energize," "Hailing frequencies open," "Raise shields," or "Warp factor [number]." Janeway adds "Compensate" when someone tells her that something's interfering with the Phlebotinum in question.
1325** Taking place before the days of shields, Enterprise replaces "Raise shields" with "Polarize the hull plating."
1326** Contrary to popular belief, ''no'' permutation of "BeamMeUpScotty" was a catch phrase. As the chief engineer, Scotty wasn't a frequent transporter operator -- there's a guy whose job is apparently only that! -- and Scotty was only asked to beam someone up on special occasions (something wrong with the transporter, etc.) For some reason, he can NeverLiveItDown. The ''actual'' usual transporter commands are "[Number] to beam up" (and sometimes "[number] to beam directly to sickbay") and "Energize."
1327** "Bones" [=McCoy=] started a tradition of [[ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder "I'm a doctor, not a..."]] phrases. Voyager's EMH ran with it. Most of the other regular character doctors also use it on occasion, although Beverly Crusher never did.
1328*** [=McCoy=]'s also known for "HesDeadJim."
1329** Let's not forget Spock's "Fascinating," (accompanied by a FascinatingEyebrow) followed by Data's "Intriguing" and Tuvok's "Impressive."
1330*** Lampshaded by [=McCoy=] in the episode "The Ultimate Computer":
1331--->'''[=McCoy=]''': Please, Spock, do me a favor and don't say it's fascinating.\
1332'''Spock''': No. But it is... interesting.
1333** Spock's "Illogical."
1334** "We are the Borg. YouWillBeAssimilated. ResistanceIsFutile." It's actually pared down from a much longer 'greeting.' Expect to hear "Resistance is futile" at least once during any Borg encounter.
1335*** Also, "[noun] is irrelevant."
1336*** The first part is usually present, except for when they are encountered by Archer's ''Enterprise''. It's almost as if they're deliberately trying to preserve the continuity by skipping that part of the speech.
1337** The Klingons frequently say "Q'apla" ("Victory." or "Success.") Less frequently than you think (though not so rare as to become a beam-me-up case) is "It is a good day to die." (Klingonese: "Heghlu'meH [=QaQ=] jajvam.") (That last is most often spoken by Worf, making it more his own personal catchphrase.)
1338** Another Klingon catchphrase, first spoken by the warlord T'Kuvma from ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' and [[BorrowedCatchphrase appropriated by his disciples Voq and L'Rell]], is "Remain Klingon!" (Klingonese: "tlhIngan maH! taHjaj!" Also translated as "We are Klingons! Let it remain!")
1339** Any Ferengi Rule of Acquisition.
1340** "Live long and prosper." -- various Vulcans (often accompanied by the Vulcan salute).
1341** "Get us out of here!" -- various captains. Usually answered with "Warp drive / Thrusters / Propulsion off-line."
1342** Picard: "Make it so." and "Engage." (Both often accompanied by his signature hand gesture.) Janeway: "Do it." All captains: "Onscreen!" (which is almost always stated in the exact same tone, regardless of the situation).
1343*** In the Season 6 episode "Chain of Command," Capt. Edward Jellico's catchphrase, "Get it done!", was chosen to emphasize the difference between his detached, brusque manner and Picard's warmer and more personal style.
1344** The Doctor, and any other Emergency Medical Hologram: "Please state the nature of the medical emergency."
1345** Seven of Nine borrows two Borg catchphrases: "Resistance is futile" and "(X) is irrelevant". She also has two all her own: "State your intentions", when she's questioning someone's motives; and "Comply", a terse but direct command.
1346** A catch-gesture; 'The Picard Maneuver', that way Patrick Stewart tugs his tunic down when he stands up. An actual in-joke among the cast and crew. Every other Starfleet character does it too, although they were instructed to keep their shirt tucking subtle.
1347*** Also a catch-gesture, there is Riker's method of sitting down by lifting his leg over the back of the chair in order to straddle down on the seat (it was because Jonathan Frakes had a old injury that makes sitting down the normal way very painful).
1348** Quinto!Spock uses the Picard Maneuver in the reboot movie.
1349** The original series had catch dialogue between Kirk and Scotty:
1350--->'''Kirk''': I need X ''now''/in Y number of minutes/hours!
1351--->'''Scotty''': That's not long enough, Cap'n! (or "I'm givin' her all she's got, Cap'n!)
1352--->'''Kirk''': Work faster!
1353--->''(cue Scotty pulling a miracle out of... [[AssPull somewhere]])''
1354*** Lampshaded in the TNG episode "Relics", where Scotty remarks to Geordi [=LaForge=] that he always used to exaggerate the time needed to do things, so when he did them in less time, they would think him a miracle worker.
1355*** One of the movies contained the following dialogue
1356---->'''Kirk''': How long until the Enterprise is repaired?
1357---->'''Scotty''': Eight weeks, sir. Only, you don't have eight weeks, so I'll do it for you in two.
1358---->'''Kirk''': Mr Scott, do you always multiply your repair estimates by a factor of four?
1359---->'''Scotty''': Of course, captain. How else could I keep my reputation as a miracle worker?
1360** Data's "It is possible, Sir." Which was even said in the same tone each time.
1361** Garak saying, "There's hope for you yet" whenever he realizes someone doesn't trust him.
1362** Odo's suspicious harrumphs.
1363** Q's habit of addressing Picard as "''[[GratuitousFrench Mon capitan]]''".
1364** [[Series/StarTrekPicard Elnor]] has a PreMortemOneLiner catchphrase which he says either in English or in his native Romulan.
1365--->'''Elnor''': Please, my friend(s). Choose to live. (in Romulan: "Feldor stam torret.")
1366** Narissa has "We have our work to do." There's also the singular variation, "I have my work to do."
1367** Lampshaded in ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' when Captain Saru and his first officer workshop a cool captain's catchphrase for him to use. He first tries to put his own inflection on Captain Pike's "Hit it" and immediately regrets doing so. His next choice -- "Execute!" -- goes over like a lead balloon with the bridge crew.
1368** Worf has "Klingons do not [insert activity here]", e.g. in the TNG episode "Liasons", Worf says "Klingons do not procrastinate; [[InsistentTerminology it is merely a tactical delay]].". He also tends to introduce himself by saying "[[IAmXSonOfY I am Worf, son of Mogh]]."
1369* ''Series/TheState'': Due to ExecutiveMeddling, the show had to include a character with a catch phrase. Their answer was to turn this into a DeconstructedTrope with [[MeaningfulName Louie, the Guy Who Says His Catchphrase Over and Over Again]]. His sketches were based around getting him to say "I wanna dip my balls in it!" as often as possible.
1370* ''Series/SteptoeAndSon'':
1371** "You ''dirty'' old man!" ~ Harold Steptoe, in nearly every episode.
1372** Also Albert's plaintive bit of emotional blackmail: "'AAAAROLD!!!"
1373** Although ''Steptoe'' was rather lacking in {{Catch Phrase}}s compared to most other sitcoms of it's time and place (1960s Britain), as it was aiming for a more Kitchen Sink approach to the sitcom and most real people don't tend to have a collection of stock phrases they repeat over and over.
1374* ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'' has several. London has "Yay, London" and "Yay, me!". Muriel has "I'm not cleaning this". Carey has "I used to have this friend...", which makes the listener sigh in annoyance. Moseby has "No (insert fun activity the twins are doing) in the lobby/in the halls/in my hotel!", "Oh, pish, posh!", "Good luck with that!", "[[HatesBeingTouched Don't touch me]], don't touch me!" and "Oh dear...!" Esteban has "Oh, Mr. Moseby!" and "Ohhh, this is a DISASTER!"
1375* ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOnDeck'': Woody: "Daaang it..." (whenever he realizes he did something stupid) and "Hurtful!" (whenever someone subtly/bluntly insults him, mainly his weight)
1376* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'':
1377** It isn't exactly a catchphrase-based show but Dean has said both "I'm tired" and "How am I supposed to live with that?" far too many times for them not to be noted as catchphrases.
1378** A slightly more adorable {{catchphrase}} is the ever-popular "Bitch"/"Jerk" call-and-refrain.
1379** "Son of a bitch" is easily the most common phrase to come out of Dean's mouth other than "Crap" or "Sammy, bring me some pie".
1380*** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in the episode ''Changing Channels'' when Dean yells "Son of a bitch!" and then waits for the "studio audience" to cheer the catchphrase.
1381** Dean also has a habit of saying "Awesome." It gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in an early season 8 episode, when one of the characters-of-the-week says that he doubts that real FBI agents say "awesome" all the time.
1382** So, get this! You know those catchphrases and verbal tics? Well, it turns out...[[LampshadeHanging that Sam has a few.]]
1383** Sam, when he's doing research, never fails to say, 'Every culture in the world has some kind of [insert something Dean doesn't believe in here] lore.' Cue killing it.
1384** Sam's "what's that supposed to mean?".
1385** Bobby's "idjit" and "balls". [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in season 8 when Garth began taking over Bobby's duties and also using the words. Dean took offense and coached him on using them properly.
1386** If Cas swears, it's usually "ass" or some variant, the most famous being [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment "assbutt."]]
1387* Several ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' series do have this trope, esp. their Red rangers.
1388** ''Series/ChourikiSentaiOhranger'': "Ole!", said by the whole team.
1389** ''Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger'': Signalman's "Nobody's passing...", since he always chooses to set the Kobaan Base up in deserted places.
1390** ''Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger'': Before they finish off the MonsterOfTheWeek with the Galaxy Mega, they call out "Game Over!"... and then dropped it by the time they use the Mega Voyager.
1391** Series/SeijuuSentaiGingaman: Not with the heroes, but ''with the MonsterOfTheWeek''. Every of Budo's monsters will say "I will have the final roar!" before enlarging themselves with Barba X, Iliess' monsters go with "Iliess' Demon clan members are stubborn!", and Batobass' monsters go with "Change of plan!"
1392** ''Series/KyukyuSentaiGoGoV'': "Mission Complete!". Also used as one of the "The End" phrases at the end of each Mission, which can vary depending on how the episode ended, as well as Mint's "Emergency Signal! Emergency Signal!", which is also used by the episode previews as they start.
1393** ''Series/MiraiSentaiTimeranger'': After the FinishingMove is dealt on the MOTW, it's either "Time's Up!" if it's the Timerangers, or "The End." if it's Time Fire.
1394** ''Series/HyakujuuSentaiGaoranger'':
1395*** Soutarou's "''[[GratuitousEnglish Nebaa]] [[HeroicSpirit Gibaapu!]]''"[[note]] "Never give up!"[[/note]]
1396*** Yabaiba has... "''Yabaiba!''", meaning "[[OhCrap This is bad!]]" while also a direct pun on his name.
1397*** [=TsueTsue=]'s "[[MakeMyMonsterGrow Oni in, luck out!]]".[[note]] "Oni wa uchi, fuku wa soto!" This one is a pun on a traditional Japanese saying which is recited during New Year's time to attract good fortune, which is the exact reverse of Tsutsue's quote: "Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi!" (Oni out, luck in!)[[/note]]
1398** ''Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger'': Mikoto's "How exciting."
1399** ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger'':
1400*** Tetsu's [[GratuitousEnglish "Nonsense!"]].
1401*** [[ShoutOut "Kore nite, ikken]] [[GratuitousEnglish COMPLETE!"]] (With that, the case is complete!)
1402*** Also Jasmine's "Bye-nara!" (Good bye!). Occasionally.
1403*** Or Hoji's [[GratuitousEnglish "Super Cool." and "Perfect!"]]
1404*** No mention of Sen-Chan's occasional "There is no mystery in this world that cannot be solved!"?
1405*** And of course, after defeating a tough enemy: "Got you!"
1406** ''Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger'': "Checkmate!" First used by Miyuki, taken over by her kids. It doubles as a PreMortemOneLiner.
1407*** Nai and Mea have their own: "Shall we?" (yacchou ka?; always said before they fuse back into Vancuria)
1408** ''Series/GoGoSentaiBoukenger'':
1409*** Satoru has his utterly-spammed "''Attack!''", and occasionally, "''Mission Start!''".
1410*** Souta's "''Sou sou Souta!''"[[note]]a pun on "sou sou sou da!", lit. "yeah, yeah, that's right!"[[/note]] also counts.
1411*** Sakura usually responds with "Use code names whenever in a mission" whenever she's called by name, not 'Pink', in missions.
1412** ''Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger'':
1413*** Retsu: [[GratuitousEnglish "I made it!"]]
1414*** Gou: "Man..." or "My God..." while tapping his brow with his fist.
1415*** Ken: "Osu!" and "I'm great!"
1416*** Sha Fu: "In [insert name of activity], there is training."
1417** ''Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger'':"Go-on!" for everyone; perhaps even too often.
1418*** "Go-onger - Checker Flag!"
1419*** "Go-on Wings - Touchdown!"
1420*** Sōsuke, Renn and Saki in particular; Their catchphrases "Mach", "Zubari" and "Smile, Smile." make their way into their daily conversations more than any prior Super Sentai characters possibly could.
1421*** Hant and his "Doki doki". Not as often as the other three, but that's not saying much.
1422*** Hiramechimedes' "Pok-pok-PING! I just had a flash of brilliance!"
1423*** "Break the limit! Go-on Gold!"
1424** ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'':
1425*** Takeru's got two: "''That's as far as you go, Gedoushu.''" and "''This brings the chapter to a conclusion.''" [[PhraseCatcher The others quickly started using them too]] after he started it. [[spoiler:And the latter is used by TheNarrator to wrap up the series.]]
1426*** Ryunosuke's "TONOOOOO!" (LORD!) and variations on "Do not X our lord that way!"
1427*** "[[TheNarrator The [No.]th Act of Shinkenger shall conclude here.]]"
1428*** Unless, of course, it's "[[ToBeContinued The [No.]th Act of Shinkenger... shall continue in the [Next No.]th Act...]]"; None of these were used for the Acts 45 to 47, to a ''very'' effective dramatic effect.
1429*** And Genta started the tradition of "''Yosh! A clap of victory!''" in his very first Mecha battle[[note]][=Ika-ShinkenOh=][[/note]] together with the others. Genta is also fond of pulling BigDamnHeroes moments on the Ayakashi when arriving with his "Wait, wait, wait, WAIT!". Often accompanied by a hail of his [[strike:razor-sharp]] [[StuffBlowingUp firework]] chopstick packets.
1430*** [[spoiler:When Kaoru takes over as the true lord]], the initial PhraseCatcher is replaced with either "''Gedoushu, that's as far as you go.''" or "''Gedoushu, do not make these civilians suffer anymore!''"
1431** ''Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger'':
1432*** Alata: "For now, let's just try."
1433*** Eri: "It'll work out somehow~!"
1434*** Gosei Knight: "From now on, it's my turn."
1435** ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'':
1436*** Captain Marvelous: "Let's make this showy!", which gets [[BorrowedCatchphrase adopted and adapted by the others over the course of the show]], When it's time to wrap it up, he usually goes "Let's pull out the stops!", and "Well, ain't that interestin'?"
1437*** Luka Millfy: "Shut it, stu~pid!". Seems to have become this in her appearances post-Gokaiger.
1438*** Don Dogoier: eventually uses "Let's blow them up!"
1439*** Gai Ikari: "Let's do it ecstatically!", a pun on the Japanese word for silver, ''"gin"''. This is why it's sometimes translated as "I'm in the silver spotlight!" in subtitles.
1440* ''Series/{{Survivor}}'': Host Jeff Probst's sendoff is "The tribe has spoken," said as he snuffs out the torch of the departing contestant. He also says, "Worth playing for?" after describing challenge prizes.
1441* ''Series/{{Survivorman}}'': Les Stroud is fond of the mantra "I hate to kill any living thing, but in a survival situation, everything is fair game" whenever he dispatches and devours something cute and fuzzy. A mantra that is markedly absent whenever he scarfs down insects (usually still moving) or fish.
1442* ''Series/{{Taxi}}'' had "Tank you veddy much" ("Thank you very much") for Creator/AndyKaufman's character Latka Gravas. The character and phrase - the whole mock language - originated in Kaufman's stage act when the persona was usually known as "Foreign Man".
1443* ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'':
1444** "Oh snap!" (Shared with ''Series/MyNameIsEarl''.)
1445** As well as "Ya NASTY!" Or, if Raven's really irked she'll go, "Ya little NASTY!"
1446** "You gon' git it!", starting in ''Series/RavensHome''.
1447* ''Series/That70sShow''
1448** Has a few, though not every character has one.
1449** Fez: "I have ''needs.''"
1450*** Also:
1451--> "Good day."
1452--> "But Fez..."
1453--> "''I said 'Good day!'''"
1454** Red: "Dumbass!" and increasingly extreme threats to put his foot in someone's ass.
1455** Kelso: "BURN!"
1456** Hyde: "So there's this car that runs on water..."
1457* ''Series/TheThundermans'' :
1458** Chloe usually ends her sentences with "Baby" (e.g. "You messed up, Baby!")
1459** Hank has "Thunderman, away!"
1460** Max during his evil phase constantly points out that "It's NOT a phase!"
1461* ''Series/ThirdRockFromTheSun'': Harry has "INCOMING MESSAGE FROM THE BIG GIANT HEAD!"
1462* ''Series/ThirtyRock'': Liz Lemon has "Blerg!" and "Nerds!" And they even parody the catchphrase on the [[ShowWithinAShow The Girly Show with Tracy Jordan]] with Liz's sketches for Jenna in which Jenna gives women relationship advice. The catchphrase is "That's a dealbreakuh!"
1463* ''Series/ThisIsWonderland'': Judge Malone gradually acquired "There must be something we can do to help this man/woman/child," as a CatchPhrase.
1464* ''Series/{{Today}}'':
1465** Before each commercial break, the segment host will tell the audience what is coming up in the next segment, followed by "But, first, this is ''Today'' on Creator/{{NBC}}."
1466** Weatherman Al Roker wants you to know that's what's going on around the country. "Now here's what's happening in ''your'' neck of the woods."
1467*** He's also fond of "How sweet it is" during the birthday segment.
1468* ''Series/TheTonightShow'':
1469** During the Johnny Carson era had "Heeeere's Johnny" (of course later used in ''Film/TheShining'') and since it's in the Leno era now it has... "And now... Jaaaaaaaaaaay Leno!".
1470** Also during the Johnny Carson era, Ed [=McMahon=]'s "[=HiYooooooooo=]!"
1471** "How _____ was it?" was a catchphrase Carson encouraged his audience to shout out when he set up a certain type of joke. For example:
1472--->'''Johnny:''' "It was so ______ today..."
1473--->'''Audience:''' "''HOW ______ WAS IT???!!!''"
1474--->'''Johnny:''' "It was so ______ that ______."
1475** "Attention K-Mart shoppers!" - spoken by Carson after pulling down the overhead boom mic to mouth level, creating an echo effect. Occasionally uttered during monologues after jokes that fell flat.
1476** "Follow Route 1 to the Slauson Cutoff. Get out of the car, cut off your slauson." - Carson as Art Fern during his Art Fern Tea Time Movies skit.
1477* ''Series/TopChef'': Padma Lakshmi has the sendoff, "Pack your knives and go."
1478* ''Series/TopGear'': Each of the presenters has a couple:
1479-->'''Clarkson:''' '''''"Poweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!"''''', "...in the World.", and "How hard can it be?"
1480-->'''May:''' "Oh, ''cock''.", "As you'd expect, I've done this properly..."
1481-->'''Hammond:''' "That's not gone well!", "Don't like that."

1566** Sen. Clay Davis: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ync3_77m5r4 "Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit!"]] This also doubles as the actor's catchphrase, which he had used in other roles (such as ''Film/TwentyFifthHour'').
