Top 100 TV CatchPhrases

Ahh some of these bring back memories. It should be noted that due to my age/TV knowledge, I don't recognize most of them on the long list... but here are some of my favorites, in alphabetical order!

For the full list, go here:

  • "Bam!" (Emeril Lagasse, "Emeril Live") I just LOVE Emeril!!
  • "Come on down!" (Johnny Olson, "The Price is Right") I remember watching the Price is Right when I was little! Recently I saw some flashbacks and saw Bob Barker with dark hair - I never knew he had drak hair, it never even occurred to me! (Of course he did, duh... but still!) Even when I was little he had white hair, that's how I know him...
  • "Good grief" (Charlie Brown, "Peanuts" specials) Aww poor Charlie Brown
  • "Heh heh" (Beavis and Butt-head, "Beavis and Butthead") These two slackers are forever immortalized in my mind with tampons up their noses...
  • "Here it is, your moment of Zen" ("The Daily Show")
  • "Holy crap!" (Frank Barone, "Everybody Loves Raymond")
  • "Homey don't play that!" (Homey the Clown, "In Living Color") This show is by far one of the funniest that I remember from the 80's. Fire Marshall Bill was hilarious - as well as the two homeless guys, one of whom carried urine around in a pickle jar!
  • "How you doin'?" (Joey Tribbiani, "Friends")
  • "I'm Larry, this is my brother Darryl ..." (Larry, "Newhart") This is my other brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl.
  • "I'm Rick James, bitch!" (Dave Chappelle as Rick James, "Chappelle's Show") 'Nuff said.
  • "It keeps going and going and going ..." (Energizer Batteries ad)
  • "Makin' whoopie" (Bob Eubanks, "The Newlywed Game") I wasn't quite old enough (or even born) to see these the first time around, but some of the reruns are just hilarious!
  • "No soup for you!" (The Soup Nazi, "Seinfeld")
  • "Oh, my God! They killed Kenny!" (Stan and Kyle, "South Park") Classic
  • "Schwing!" (Mike Myers and Dana Carvey as Wayne and Garth, "Saturday Night Live")
  • "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids" (Trix cereal ad)
  • "We are two wild and crazy guys!" (Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd as Czech playboys, "Saturday Night Live")
  • "Well, isn't that special?" (Dana Carvey as the Church Lady, "Saturday Night Live")
  • "Whassup?" (Budweiser ad) My favorite of these ads was a SuperBowl commercial, where a golden retriever goes into a spaceship. He takes off his golden retriever disguise to reveal he's an alien, and the head alien asks him what he learned during his time on Earth. His response? "Whasssssssup!"
  • "Yabba dabba do!" (Fred Flintstone, "The Flintstones")

There is one though that I think needs to be added, and probably didn't make the list because it is fairly new. "Seriously!" from Grey's Anatomy. I LOVE that show, and I have picked it up and say it WAY too often!! ;)

Just a fun list for the day. Happy Tuesday! ;)
