Fun fact: the first instance of Columbo using his catchphrase “oh and one more thing” was actually due to the fact his actor began leaving the scene forgetting he had more to say, so to quickly save it he said the line and kept going
This could be a correction or a variation of the same slightly apocryphal account, but as I understood it, this actually happened at the writing stage - they had completed typing a full page before realising Columbo still had something else to say. Instead of retyping the whole page on the typewriter, they just tagged on "one more thing"
Phineas and Ferb is basically 90% catchphrase - Ferb I know what we're going to do toady - Hey, where's Perry? - Ah, agent P - What 'cha doooin? - Phineas and Ferb, you are so BUSTED! - MOM! - Ah Perry the Platypus... - Curse you Perry the Platypus!!! - Oh, there you are Perry (edit: forgot what cha doing)

But most of these were from North America? I mean c'mon, you can't tell me 'Scooby-Dooby-Doo!, Hulk Smash, Aye Caramba! (Bart Simpson), BART! (Homer Simpson), Cowabunga! (TMNT), Avengers Assemble!, They killed Kenny you bastards! (South Park), etc. etc.' aren't from somewhere in America, or Canada?
@@koolaid33 True, but I’m moreso referring to the long periods of the video spent discussing The Fast Show, One Foot in the Grave, and Friday Night Live and their cultural impacts.
4:15 : My family actually has a saying that's been passed down either four or five generations (can't remember the amount at this time). It's "wear your old coat", and it's used when you do something that hurts you in an attempt to get back at someone, to middling or nonexistent effect. It came from an ancestor who got a new coat but had an argument with the person who gave it to her, and subsequently refused to wear it when she next met them, instead opting to wear her old coat. The old coat was not warm and it was a cold day; you can guess how it became a family legend.
I only knew it from the Killing Floor games. Characters will say it when you drop cash for your teammates. Makes sense know because the studio Tripwire Interactive is UK based
The catchphrase with my group has been "egg juice" whenever someone can't remember the word for something. My friend once asked what the juice inside of an egg was, I said "the yolk" he replied, "Yeah, the egg juice"
Despite mentioning The Fast Show quite a bit, I'm surprised Eddache didn't even mention Arthur Atkinson. Who's entire joke is that he only ever mentions one-liners and Catchphrases, namely 'Where's me Washboard?'. And respect to Chester Drawers for putting up with him.
Like Willem Dafoe in No Way Home, where he said: "I'm something of a Scientist myself" If it wasn't for memes, that small line from the original movie wouldn't be in NWH.
it dosn't even sound natural, in the original it was casual talk of course he will approach like that to peter. Here he was warn that his life will be doomed if he comes back, so the better dialogue would have beeing "i can help! im also a scientist in my universe", sure you could say its an indication that he has a little bit of the gobling inside but if he wanted to be subtle he should leave the meta dialogue aside
4:14 This is one I can personally relate to. Thanks to a situation between the two of us while playing LEGO The Hobbit my brother and I have adopted "wait... boat" as our go-to comedy line, clocking in at over half a decade of use at this point.
This was a fantastically well produced and edited video. The silent clips in the background which we all knew what they were saying because they were memorable link up to the voice over and prove the point about their position in the pop culture canon.

Holy shit, you’re right, memes are modern catchphrases… Also I’m slightly disappointed you never mentioned Monty python, but I’m glad you showed off some more obscure shows
He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy. Tis but a scratch. But besides x, y, z, what have the romans ever done for us? Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition (which actually did morph from Catchphrase to meme)
Catch phrases are VERY much still a thing. Say ‘road work ahead’ to a group of anybody under 30 and they’ll all go ‘yeah I sure hope it does’. ‘Look at all those chickens,’ is another I hear a lot. ‘Oh feck were flying away’ ‘do you ever want to talk about your feelings David’ ‘and they were roommates’. Any of the top 100-ish vines that good massive got massive BECAUSE of their catch praises.
My favorite "catchphrase" is the one from Bojack Horseman Season 2, the line "what are you doing here" gets mentioned around 10 times through out the whole show and it takes a bunch of different meanings, starting as a sort of gag and ending as more of a "what are you doing here in the world" vibe, I absolutely adore how you can repurporse a phrase to have a darker or more meaningful meaning
I never realized how much I appreciated Rick and Morty forced meaningless gibberish to be a catchphrase to its audience, winking to the audience in the process, only to later reveal that it was actually a coded cry for help.
What I find interesting is the rare occasion when they give a character a catchphrase but it doesn't catch on so the character stops saying it. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.
As a big Simpsons fan, I was quite excited to see my birthday gift which was a hoodie (If you know me, you might not even know if I have forearms because I'm always wearing hoodies) and it says "D'oh" with the "O" being the Simpsons style pink donut. I go out of my way to wear it as much as possible. I love catchphrases, as they're a fun way to separate your shows from others, like if I said some random joke from a show, you might know which one it's from, but it's hard to say given how similar some shows can be, whereas catchphrases instantly remind you of that show and you know exactly where it's from.
Actually, the most famous Laurel & Hardy catchphrase is "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into." It's frequently misquoted though, such as "another fine mess you've gotten us into."
I liked how The Amazing world of Gumball parodied it, twice: Principal brown: "what? Miss simian is trapped down the old abandoned well? I'm coming!" *He jumps out a window* "Elbows, don't fail me now..." Then less than a minute later: Miss simian: "What? I'm trapped down the old abandoned well? I'm coming!" *She jumps out a window* "come on, chin. Don't fail me now"
On the audience influence, one catchphrase I thought it would be mentioned is Sherlock Holmes's one, "Elementary, my dear Watson". In the original books Sherlock never said this sentence, only "Elementary" and "My dear Watson" in different occasions and never together, but the audience started using it like it was one thing and it got popular, leading to being used in the subsequent medias
Another great video Eddie! There is one aspect of scripted entertainment that utilises catchphrases on a large scale, that I’m surprised wasn’t brought up: Professional wrestling. In a world that is live sport posing as theatre, catchphrases in this field are a weird combination of spontaneity and/or purposely marketable creative writing. Especially when it comes to their reusability and longevity. They have to be ‘natural’ and catchy enough to resonate and instigate audience participation, and then are commercialised for profit. When one hits they can be a slow burner or be immediate successes depending on the wrestler or the context being exploited with it… when they don’t it’s so blindingly obvious that forcing it down the audiences throat via commentary or the wrestler themselves can be very damaging in the eyes and ears of the viewer. If not for the reliance on prolonged repetition and the nostalgic fixation that the industry has had for the last few decades, we’d not be saying Austin 3 16, If You Smell What The Rock Is Cooking or Randy Savage’s Oooooh Yeah or saying ‘Brother’ with a gruff accent like Hulk Hogan if it weren’t for that.
A catchphraze I tried to make and still sorta works is: "Chicken Rice Noodles on a stick" Since I am just saying it and it's like what? But my actual catchphraze became: "You have issues" As I am the weird straight man... somehow... This is actually an in friend catchphraze yes :P Figured it be a fun comment. Video was fun!
Probably my favourite catchphrase is "screw the rules, i have money" And "good news everyone" Or kais from lexx "the dead do not ..." The show th 100s "there are no good guys" is neat too. (through i think thats more in the theme and refered to than said most of the time) Indeed. (tealc cough cough) I have a plan! Burn it with fire! Sus! Some more newses channel some more news is nice. We live in a society is fun, because its from an edgelordmovie but can be added to anything really to remind people that the world does not only revolve around them too. And people die when they are killed!
I'm surprised you didn't mention any Animaniacs or Pinky and The Brain. "Hello Nurse", "Goodnight Everybody", "Narf", "are you pondering what I'm pondering?". Some great ones
as you've watched HLVRAI, and anyone who might know, Coomers catchphrase (of many) being "hello gordon" and then ending on a melancholy note related to such (no spoilers!), it's another way that tone and depth can be added to something that was used over and over as a comedic device the amount of times i've heard people say they've teared up at that line is quite remarkable, especially for a series that had extremely limited emotional moment that wasn't just comedic improv
I don't think it would count as a catchphrase but I love the "What are you doing here" motif across season 2 of BoJack Horseman. Or how "I am Groot" was a joke for the entire first guardians movie until they hit you with "We are Groot" and I know I cried
Awesome video! Here in Brazil we had this phenomenon from the 80s all the way to the 2010s where catchphrases from famous soap operas would slip into everyday life and conversation. It got so bad that the producers would always try to one-up each other with each new soap opera. Some of those phrases are used even today.
Fucking love when Eddache uploads, they're always so interesting. I love that you can talk about topics that cover many cartoons so everyone can understand well!! I also really appreciate that you do the little things like put warnings for upsetting topics and even just animating yourself instead of still images, it adds so much more to it, you really stand out from other creators with similar content. Absolutely love it, keep it up bro!!
3:17 I finally understand Donkey’s line in Shrek 2. Donkey: “The sun’ll come out tomorrow. Bet your bottom…” Shrek: “Bet my bottom?” Donkey: “I’m coming, Elizabeth!”
One of the more sadder examples of typecasting comes from The Big Bang Theory (of all shows), where Star Trek’s George Takei shows up for a brief cameo and outright says that life as someone who always gets typecasted is just plain difficult “Do Strindberg, O’Neill, but all anyone wants is “Course laid in, Captain” “. For some reason, That line has always stuck with me
I feel like two recent shows had good ideas about catchfrases Marvelous Ms Maisel mocks comedies that rely on catchfrases to be funny (put that on your plate!), but also uses a catchfrase not a joke but as a sign of friendship between the protagonists (Tits up!) The Good Place with it's creative workaround to be able to curse, has allowed to have every swear word be a potential catchfrase (motherforking shirtballs, etc)
I think one of the best modern shows that has catchphrases and works is Brooklyn 99. A lot of them feel like inside jokes in the station, or just “this is a quirk of the character, this is just a thing they do.” For example, “title of your sex tape” started out as jakes catchphrase, but is used by everyone else now and again. “Noice” just feels like a quirk of Jake.
One of my favorite uses of a catchphrase was in Red vs. Blue. For context, the series opens with the line, "You ever wonder why we're here?" In this first instance, one of the characters, Grif, responds with a philosophical answer ("It's one of life's great mysteries"), but the asker, Simmons, was talking about why they are in their current situation (stuck in a box canyon just because some blue guys built a military base there). Since then, the question has been asked several times throughout the series, each with its own twist on why the question is asked and how another character responds. In season 15, Simmons is grappling with a doppelganger (long story), and Grif has to do the classic "Who do I shoot?" trope. So, he asks, "Why are we here?!" One responds, "To stop the bad guys." The other, "It's still one of life's great mysteries." Needless to say, Grif gets it right.
Creating a catchphrase or signature gesture can really help if you work in a retail environment and have issues with anxiety or depression. Sounds very dumb but playing the part of a character is easier than being yourself sometimes. Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks is a good starting point for a persona if you want to just get through the day with minimum drama.
"Inconceivable!" "It'll never fly, Orville." "That dog won't hunt." "Not in a million years." "These are not the droids you are looking for." "D.D.D.D..That's all folks."
Some catchphrases a Swede like me would know of are "En sån jädrans smäll" (What a darn boom) said by Dynamite Harry from the movie series Jönssonligan. The leader of the group, Charles Ingvar Jönsson also has his catchphrase; I got a plan! Catchphrases like you said certainly does capture an era and popularity of certain movies and shows.
20:30 “The DNA of the soul. They shape our will. They are the culture - they are everything we pass on. Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate. They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair... All memes, all passed along. You can’t fight nature, Jack. Wind blows, rain falls, and the strong prey upon the weak”
And Catchphrases such as Arnie's "I'll be back." Which Originated From Terminator (1984-1985). and My "Ciao For Now." Give a sense of Farewell but Not Permanently. My Catchphrase is in My Outro. On Quantum Leap Sam Becket had "Oh Boy." Well he did Say You got Some Splainin' to do Followed by Splain, Splain. I didn't Notice, Maybe That's because I Fell asleep when The Ogre Popped The Balloon That was filled with Yellow Paint. And Speaking of Jaleel White, Sonic The Hedgehog Voiced by Jaleel White has Way Past Cool, or Way Pass Cool.
Alright, I've watched the whole video and you may have failed to mention the major reason catchphrases are dying. Originally, before reruns, things had to be repeated in shows because that was the only way people could hear it again. Once we had reruns, we still were at the mercy of the air-time schedule, meaning we might only hear it once a week. VHS changed that somewhat, but it wasn't until streaming overtook cable that we finally can watch things as often as we want, even on a loop if we choose. One funny scene only has to be one funny scene now, because people will rewatch it a million times due to being their "comfort show." Catchphrases were meant to keep the show in mind between episodes, but now there no longer is a such thing as "between episodes," so there's no place for them, no space for them to breath, except in those small places where it's meant to be a stereotypical tv gag (Rick & Morty) or it's referencing something that vastly predates streaming (Hulk Smash).
I would say one of the best modern uses of catchphrases that are unapologetically repeated but still have substance is Ryan George’s Pitch Meetings. He’s included “super easy, barely an inconvenience” since his very first Pitch Meeting video and even 300 videos later, the way he incorporates the line in the sketches always works.
When I was in high school I was obsessed with finding my own personal catchphrase. If you've ever seen the scene in Community where Magnitude gets "Pop Pop!" taken away from him, that was a pretty close approximation 😂
4:45 Father Ted is the peak TV of and I know not many people outside of Ireland will have heard of it or understand half the jokes but that makes it so much better
OBJECTION! Catchphrases tend to show up a lot in video games, especially those some voice acting, but not much, because characters will repeat phrases as a sort of catchphrase, Think scorpion from mortal combat “GET OVER HERE” or Mario “it’s a me Mario” or, from ace attorney, literally any of the MANY words put in white speech bubbles, OBJECTION, HOLD IT, TAKE THAT, SILENCE etc…
Always glad to see a league of gentlemen mention even if it is a second, tbh you could make a really interesting video around reece shearsmith and Steve Pemberton career
I feel like something relevant is that these days we're sort of living in an age where saying that something is overused or unfunny is a better way to get praise and attention than actually doing almost anything that has been considered "done to death" in the last few years, kinda like how the "amogus" memes sorta started as people getting angry over people committing the unforgivable crime of having fun playing video games, those people who make fun of the "nobody:" format, those spontaneously popular TH-cam videos that have the creator have "please stop watching this wow you comments are unfunny" or something along those lines in the description or a pinned comment, that extremely ironic time Adam Ellis killed the "let people enjoy things" meme because reasons, and that one time where Did You Know Gaming did a really awkward derail where they talked about how "mario 2 is doki doki panic" is a meme to lead into a fact instead of just bringing it up and immediately moving on to the point where ironically it feels like trying to say something is overused and unfunny is the most overused and unfunny thing in human history. To specifically me, because I never hear anyone actually talk about this phenomenon. Please for the love of god tell me someone else has picked up on this and is sick of it as I am because good lord it has been driving me insane for years
Great vid. Also please continue to mention Rik Mayall, don't care how it's crowbarred in, the man was an absolute legend. Always makes me smile when he appears.
One of the most common "fake" catchphrases is from Scarie Movie 2: the butler never actually says "TAKE MY STRONG HAND!" but I'd be damned if anyone doesn't say it when reminded of that movie IF you're curious he says: "my other hand isn't strong enough, you take my little hand!"
one of the most quoted lines of the mass effect games ("we'll bang ok?") actually came from a YTP and was never actually uttered by Shepard a single time

In a world that is live sport posing as theatre, catchphrases in this field are a weird combination of spontaneity and/or purposely marketable creative writing. Especially when it comes to their reusability and longevity. They have to be ‘natural’ and catchy enough to resonate and instigate audience participation, and then are commercialised for profit. When one hits they can be a slow burner or be immediate successes depending on the wrestler or the context being exploited with it… when they don’t it’s so blindingly obvious that forcing it down the audiences throat via commentary or the wrestler themselves can be very damaging in the eyes and ears of the viewer. If not for the reliance on prolonged repetition and the nostalgic fixation that the industry has had for the last few decades, we’d not be saying Austin 3 16, If You Smell What The Rock Is Cooking or Randy Savage’s Oooooh Yeah or saying ‘Brother’ with a gruff accent like Hulk Hogan if it weren’t for that.
Can ya smellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll....
A catchphraze I tried to make and still sorta works is:
"Chicken Rice Noodles on a stick"
Since I am just saying it and it's like what?
But my actual catchphraze became:
"You have issues" As I am the weird straight man... somehow...
This is actually an in friend catchphraze yes :P Figured it be a fun comment. Video was fun!
1:24 can you hear me mother was the original hello Gordon
You know, if you said "Smokebomb!" one more time, that would've become a catchphrase.
My favorite catchphrase is
“Have you ever heard the tragedy of darth plagueis the wise?”
Probably my favourite catchphrase is "screw the rules, i have money"
And "good news everyone" Or kais from lexx "the dead do not ..."
The show th 100s "there are no good guys" is neat too. (through i think thats more in the theme and refered to than said most of the time) Indeed. (tealc cough cough)
I have a plan! Burn it with fire! Sus!
Some more newses channel some more news is nice.
We live in a society is fun, because its from an edgelordmovie but can be added to anything really to remind people that the world does not only revolve around them too.
And people die when they are killed!
Ah a Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan
Aw crap baskets.
@middle aged man in extreme debt you can fill in almost anything, thats just making it better.
Screw the money i have rules.
I'm surprised you didn't mention any Animaniacs or Pinky and The Brain. "Hello Nurse", "Goodnight Everybody", "Narf", "are you pondering what I'm pondering?". Some great ones
I think so Brain, but this time; you wear the tutu.
Catchphrases aren't all dead, i think.
Most youtubers share the same catchphrase: "Subscribe and hit that bell"
as you've watched HLVRAI, and anyone who might know, Coomers catchphrase (of many) being "hello gordon" and then ending on a melancholy note related to such (no spoilers!), it's another way that tone and depth can be added to something that was used over and over as a comedic device
the amount of times i've heard people say they've teared up at that line is quite remarkable, especially for a series that had extremely limited emotional moment that wasn't just comedic improv
Something I really would've liked to add is how Kenny dying really evolved, particularly with Mysterion.
YOU FOOL. HIS CATCHPHRASE IS "MMMMMMMMMMMMM" basically "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
I don't think it would count as a catchphrase but I love the "What are you doing here" motif across season 2 of BoJack Horseman. Or how "I am Groot" was a joke for the entire first guardians movie until they hit you with "We are Groot" and I know I cried
Awesome video! Here in Brazil we had this phenomenon from the 80s all the way to the 2010s where catchphrases from famous soap operas would slip into everyday life and conversation. It got so bad that the producers would always try to one-up each other with each new soap opera. Some of those phrases are used even today.
Fucking love when Eddache uploads, they're always so interesting. I love that you can talk about topics that cover many cartoons so everyone can understand well!! I also really appreciate that you do the little things like put warnings for upsetting topics and even just animating yourself instead of still images, it adds so much more to it, you really stand out from other creators with similar content. Absolutely love it, keep it up bro!!
Out of pop culture, I would say the most popular evolved phrase into everyday saying would be the "yada, yada, yada" originated from Seinfeld
Quantum leap had the classic “oh boy” every beginning of an episode
One of my favorite things is when real life people have catchphrases. Case and point, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash."
3:17 I finally understand Donkey’s line in Shrek 2.
Donkey: “The sun’ll come out tomorrow. Bet your bottom…”
Shrek: “Bet my bottom?”
Donkey: “I’m coming, Elizabeth!”
One of the more sadder examples of typecasting comes from The Big Bang Theory (of all shows), where Star Trek’s George Takei shows up for a brief cameo and outright says that life as someone who always gets typecasted is just plain difficult “Do Strindberg, O’Neill, but all anyone wants is “Course laid in, Captain” “. For some reason, That line has always stuck with me
I feel like two recent shows had good ideas about catchfrases
Marvelous Ms Maisel mocks comedies that rely on catchfrases to be funny (put that on your plate!), but also uses a catchfrase not a joke but as a sign of friendship between the protagonists (Tits up!)
The Good Place with it's creative workaround to be able to curse, has allowed to have every swear word be a potential catchfrase (motherforking shirtballs, etc)
My favourite catchphrase is "It's Morbin' time"
Such emotion
Such grace
Such morb
You forgot to mention the best catchphrase of all…
“Catchphrase!”
Always worth waiting for another Eddache.
Interestingly enough the most replayed part of this video is the section highlighting the memes.
So what you're telling me...the TH-camr's catchphrase is: And now a Word from our sponsor!
I think the catchphrase "Technoblade never dies" is a good example of how emotioanl catchphrases can be, especially in changing context.
I think one of the best modern shows that has catchphrases and works is Brooklyn 99. A lot of them feel like inside jokes in the station, or just “this is a quirk of the character, this is just a thing they do.” For example, “title of your sex tape” started out as jakes catchphrase, but is used by everyone else now and again. “Noice” just feels like a quirk of Jake.
I love when you upload, this video sounds great
"And the dangerous brothers" "CLANG"
Why that made me laugh I will never know 😂
One of my favorite uses of a catchphrase was in Red vs. Blue.
For context, the series opens with the line, "You ever wonder why we're here?" In this first instance, one of the characters, Grif, responds with a philosophical answer ("It's one of life's great mysteries"), but the asker, Simmons, was talking about why they are in their current situation (stuck in a box canyon just because some blue guys built a military base there). Since then, the question has been asked several times throughout the series, each with its own twist on why the question is asked and how another character responds.
In season 15, Simmons is grappling with a doppelganger (long story), and Grif has to do the classic "Who do I shoot?" trope. So, he asks, "Why are we here?!" One responds, "To stop the bad guys." The other, "It's still one of life's great mysteries."
Needless to say, Grif gets it right.
Creating a catchphrase or signature gesture can really help if you work in a retail environment and have issues with anxiety or depression. Sounds very dumb but playing the part of a character is easier than being yourself sometimes. Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks is a good starting point for a persona if you want to just get through the day with minimum drama.
I’d like to see something about letterkennys constant change of running gags and recalls. Or something like that bc that is a gold comedy show.
"Inconceivable!"
"It'll never fly, Orville."
"That dog won't hunt."
"Not in a million years."
"These are not the droids you are looking for."
"D.D.D.D..That's all folks."
Some catchphrases a Swede like me would know of are "En sån jädrans smäll" (What a darn boom) said by Dynamite Harry from the movie series Jönssonligan. The leader of the group, Charles Ingvar Jönsson also has his catchphrase; I got a plan!
Catchphrases like you said certainly does capture an era and popularity of certain movies and shows.
20:30
“The DNA of the soul. They shape our will. They are the culture - they are everything we pass on. Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate. They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair... All memes, all passed along. You can’t fight nature, Jack. Wind blows, rain falls, and the strong prey upon the weak”
And Catchphrases such as Arnie's "I'll be back." Which Originated From Terminator (1984-1985). and My "Ciao For Now." Give a sense of Farewell but Not Permanently. My Catchphrase is in My Outro. On Quantum Leap Sam Becket had "Oh Boy." Well he did Say You got Some Splainin' to do Followed by Splain, Splain. I didn't Notice, Maybe That's because I Fell asleep when The Ogre Popped The Balloon That was filled with Yellow Paint. And Speaking of Jaleel White, Sonic The Hedgehog Voiced by Jaleel White has Way Past Cool, or Way Pass Cool.
Omg you helped me realize asdfmovie is all just fucking catchphrases
Alright, I've watched the whole video and you may have failed to mention the major reason catchphrases are dying.
Originally, before reruns, things had to be repeated in shows because that was the only way people could hear it again. Once we had reruns, we still were at the mercy of the air-time schedule, meaning we might only hear it once a week. VHS changed that somewhat, but it wasn't until streaming overtook cable that we finally can watch things as often as we want, even on a loop if we choose. One funny scene only has to be one funny scene now, because people will rewatch it a million times due to being their "comfort show." Catchphrases were meant to keep the show in mind between episodes, but now there no longer is a such thing as "between episodes," so there's no place for them, no space for them to breath, except in those small places where it's meant to be a stereotypical tv gag (Rick & Morty) or it's referencing something that vastly predates streaming (Hulk Smash).
I would say one of the best modern uses of catchphrases that are unapologetically repeated but still have substance is Ryan George’s Pitch Meetings. He’s included “super easy, barely an inconvenience” since his very first Pitch Meeting video and even 300 videos later, the way he incorporates the line in the sketches always works.
When I was in high school I was obsessed with finding my own personal catchphrase. If you've ever seen the scene in Community where Magnitude gets "Pop Pop!" taken away from him, that was a pretty close approximation 😂
4:45 Father Ted is the peak TV of and I know not many people outside of Ireland will have heard of it or understand half the jokes but that makes it so much better
I'm from England and I love Father Ted! :D
@@FH4Player6397 awesome, I wish it was more well known outside of Ireland because it's so good
17:48 hey,what’s the name of the Fire Haven mythical again?
OBJECTION!
Catchphrases tend to show up a lot in video games, especially those some voice acting, but not much, because characters will repeat phrases as a sort of catchphrase,
Think scorpion from mortal combat “GET OVER HERE” or Mario “it’s a me Mario” or, from ace attorney, literally any of the MANY words put in white speech bubbles, OBJECTION, HOLD IT, TAKE THAT, SILENCE etc…
This video has helped remind me to add the fast show to my dvd comedy collection. Thanks very much.
and we cant forget one of the most famous early catchphrases, "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into!'
The most underrated catchphrase:
"Lavender lollipops!"
-2008-2010, Daizy, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!
My favorite catchphrase is "brush your teeth, bitch!"
Always glad to see a league of gentlemen mention even if it is a second, tbh you could make a really interesting video around reece shearsmith and Steve Pemberton career
"My ex wife still misses me, but her accuracy is improving." - Grunkle Stanley
It's "but her aim is getting better!"
@@nathanstarkey9527 That was the joke, misquoting it and making a new quote.
You never see Eddache and Dankmus in the same room at the same time
I feel like something relevant is that these days we're sort of living in an age where saying that something is overused or unfunny is a better way to get praise and attention than actually doing almost anything that has been considered "done to death" in the last few years, kinda like how the "amogus" memes sorta started as people getting angry over people committing the unforgivable crime of having fun playing video games, those people who make fun of the "nobody:" format, those spontaneously popular TH-cam videos that have the creator have "please stop watching this wow you comments are unfunny" or something along those lines in the description or a pinned comment, that extremely ironic time Adam Ellis killed the "let people enjoy things" meme because reasons, and that one time where Did You Know Gaming did a really awkward derail where they talked about how "mario 2 is doki doki panic" is a meme to lead into a fact instead of just bringing it up and immediately moving on to the point where ironically it feels like trying to say something is overused and unfunny is the most overused and unfunny thing in human history. To specifically me, because I never hear anyone actually talk about this phenomenon. Please for the love of god tell me someone else has picked up on this and is sick of it as I am because good lord it has been driving me insane for years
Nope. You're the only one who has a problem with that. The only one.
My least favorite catchphrase is Eddache's "STAR TREK, THE NEXT GENERATION..." because it gets stuck in my head.
My Catchphrase Is "That's A Lawsuit Wait-A-Nin To Happen"
Great vid. Also please continue to mention Rik Mayall, don't care how it's crowbarred in, the man was an absolute legend. Always makes me smile when he appears.
zootopia's "let it go" line is one of the best lines in cinema you take that back
Luke is added to "I am your Father" to give the line context whomever is speaking that line.
Fun fact: That Mark Williams character at 6:15 was a rip-off of Bill Murray's character in the movie 'Caddy-shack'.
I love saying "So I got that going for me, which is nice." And then going "where is that from?"
One of the most common "fake" catchphrases is from Scarie Movie 2:
the butler never actually says "TAKE MY STRONG HAND!" but I'd be damned if anyone doesn't say it when reminded of that movie
IF you're curious he says: "my other hand isn't strong enough, you take my little hand!"
one of the most quoted lines of the mass effect games ("we'll bang ok?") actually came from a YTP and was never actually uttered by Shepard a single time
The best catchphrase is “Zoinks”
That's inconceivable!
Never thought I’d hear one of my favourite TH-camrs talk about the fast show and one foot in the grave
