Line 94:
** "When you're a spy..."
* ''[[Caiga Quien Caiga]]'': "What a good question, Mario!"
* ''[[Catchphrase (game show)|Catchphrase]]'': The [[Game Show]] has host Roy Walker's "Say what you see" and "It's good, but it's not right". This was [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in one episode, where the phrase the contestants had to guess was in fact "Say what you see". They didn't get it.
* ''[[Chapelles Show]]'': "I'm Rick James, Bitch!" It bacame so annoying to Chappelle when fans would holler this out at his shows that he would walk off stage and probably contributed to his [[Creator Breakdown]].
** He has indicated to enthusiastic fans in the wild, "I'd appreciate you not calling me 'bitch' in front of my kids."
Line 261:
** And many more. Finding them all would mean facing every sort of danger imaginable!
** "...and loving it!"
* ''[[Ghostwriter (TV series)|Ghostwriter]]:'' "Let's rewind."
* ''[[Glee]]'''s Principal Figgins' "It's out of my hands, Will!" is definitely starting to qualify.
** Sue's 'You think this is hard? Try [[Refuge in Audacity]], 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.
Line 294:
* ''[[Hogan's Heroes]]'': Sgt. Schultz: "I know NUZZING!", Major Hochstetter's "What is this man doing here?", and of course, "[[Blatant Lies|Nobody escapes from Stalag 13!]]"
* ''[[Holmes On Homes]]'' and spinoffs: "Make it Right!" Also, "Gut it" and "Tear it all down" are practically catchphrases on there as well.
* ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'''s "More power!", "I don't think so, Tim," and of course Tim Allen's ever-present grunting.
** "Hidey-ho, neighbor!"
* ''[[The Honeymooners]]'':
Line 454:
* ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'' There are frequent loud whispers of "Merlinnnn" on the cuts between scenes.
** Uther is fond of "Camelot will not fall to magic while I am king." and telling Arthur "When you are king, you will understand."
* ''[[Mission: Impossible]]'': "Your mission, should you choose to accept it..."
* ''[[Mister Rogers' Neighborhood]]'': "Won't you be my neighbor?"
* ''[[Monk]]'' has 'here's what happened' (spoken just before [[The Summation]]), 'here's the thing', 'I don't know how he did it, but he did it', and 'he's the guy' (or, alternatively, for [[Red Herring]] characters 'he's not the guy').
Line 500:
'''Forrester & Erhardt:''' [[Insult Backfire|Why, ]]''[[Insult Backfire|thank]]'' [[Insult Backfire|you!]] (''They also had a tendency to lean into each other and the camera while saying this, and use falsetto on the word "thank".'') }}
*** 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.
* ''[[Myth BustersMythBusters]]'': "Well ''there's'' your problem!"
** 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."
** 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!"
Line 655:
* ''[[Sesame Street]]''': "Hi-ho, Kermit the Frog here, with a Sesame Street News Flash."
* ''[[Shear Genius]]'': The host says to each week's winner, "Congratulations, your work is [[Title Drop|sheer genius]]." To the loser he says, "I'm sorry, this was your final cut."
* ''[[Sledge Hammer!]]'': "Trust me. I know what I'm doing." [[Hilarity Ensues|Disaster ensues]].
* ''[[Slings and Arrows]]'': Geoffrey seems to go through one of these every season, to explain why he won't be directing whichever [[Shakespeare]] play the [[Story Arc]] 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:
