[[Real Life]] [[Catch Phrase|catch phrases]].
==Subpages==
{{subpages}}
==Other Examples==
* [[Hello! Project]] examples:
** Niigaki Risa: USOOOO!
Line 12 ⟶ 14:
** W: W desu!
** Ishikawa Rika: Happy~♥!
* Humor columnist Dave Barry: "[["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer|I am not making this up]]" and "(Silly phrase) would be [[A Good Name for a Rock Band]]."
* [[Walter Cronkite]] [CBS Evening News, 1962 - 1981] ended almost every broadcast with "...And that's the way it is". He even carried it over to when he voiced a character in ''We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story''.
** Parodied BTW in ''[[Bruce Almighty]]'' with "...and that's the way the cookie crumbles."
Line 50 ⟶ 52:
** "From New York, goodnight America."
* The historian Robert Caro's epic [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], ''The Years of Lyndon Johnson'' has two that are used as themes throughout the books. The first, said by Lyndon himself is, "If you take care of everything -''everything''- you'll win." The second, said by one of Lyndon's childhood friends is, "He just had to win. ''Had'' to!"
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20181117103635/http://www.roughlydrafted.com/ This blogger] ends the first paragraph of several articles with "He's wrong, here's why." Recently [[Lampshaded]].
* "God Bless America" was a popular speech closer among U.S. politicians. It's dropped off in popularity over the past several years, though.
* "Hello everybody, I'm Don Newman, welcome to the brooaaadcast." Longtime CBC political correspondent Don Newman.
* Michael Caine: "Not a lot of people know that" (actually a [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]- it's from a [[Peter Sellers]] spoof) and "My name is Michael Caine". Madness turned the latter into a hit record.
* The newsgroup comp.sys.sinclair has many Catch Phrases amongst long-term regulars. From ''The Fast Show'' they <s>nicked</s> borrowed "I'll get my coat" (usually rendered as "IGMC") as a way to abruptly end a post. An even more abrupt (and usually euphemistic) ending is [NO CARRIER] or some variant. Then there's replying to "name this game" requests with "it's definitely not Stonkers", and responding to sundry remarks with "you said that yesterday"... [https://web.archive.org/web/20130501003317/http://www.worldofspectrum.org/cssfolklore/index.html The list goes on.]
* Joe Elliott says "Don't forget us, and we won't forget you" at the end of every live gig.
* Thomas Babington Macaulay (who was very intelligent) was wont when he was a child to refer to some item of knowledge as "what every schoolboy knows".
Line 74 ⟶ 76:
* [[Countdown with Keith Olbermann|Keith Olbermann's]] [[Countdown with Keith Olbermann|news]] [[Countdown with Keith Olbermann|cast]] is awash with catchphrases, from the opener ("Which of ''these'' stories will ''you'' be talking about tomorrow?") to the signoff ("That's Countdown for this the ''xxxx''th day since the previous President declared 'Mission Accomplished' in Iraq. Good night, and good luck"), the last in [[Homage]] to Edward R. Murrow. In between there is "Worst Person in the woooorrrllld!!!" (which is another homage, in this case to [[Bob and Ray]]).
** It shouldn't be possible for "Sir" to be a catchphrase, [[Large Ham|but somehow...]]
* [[HM
* Foster Hewitt had a couple when he was the announcer for ''[[Hockey Night in Canada]]'':
** He started every broadcast with, "Hello, Canada, and hockey fans in the United States and Newfoundland" (until Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949)
** "He shoots, he scores!"
