tv top 50 catchphrases

[bando1234]

I did not watch the Brewer game to watch TV's top 50 catchphrases. I was waiting for wachu talkin about Willis & Dy-no-mite. Those were the top ones I could think of. They did not make the top 50. Im a little disappointed.

"D'oh!"

[Schlitz001]

Probably not on the list, but my favorite was always, "Hey, hey, hey. WHAT is going on here?"

 

I also like...

"Oh my God they killed Kenny."

"Hey now" (LS Show)

"Wohw" (Joey Lawrence)

"Norm!"

"Aaaaaayy" (Fonz)

 

I don't understand how they leave "Willis" out.

If it'll make you feel better, this list of 100 has "Dyn-o-mite" at #12 and "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" at #8.

[brewdude15]

That's where I got #6 - "D'oh!"

[brewdude15]

Probably not on the list, but my favorite was always, "Hey, hey, hey. WHAT is going on here?"

 

I also like...

"Oh my God they killed Kenny." #35

"Hey now" (LS Show) #87

"Wohw" (Joey Lawrence)

"Norm!" #29

"Aaaaaayy" (Fonz) #11

 

I don't understand how they leave "Willis" out. #8

How is "Yada, Yada, Yada" from Seinfeld number one? That is pretty lame.

[Menotti80]

well seinfeld is the greatest TV show ever, so they had to find a phrase from there...

 

but there are better seinfeld catchphrases than yada-yada

[burniebrewer]

While I love Seinfeld more than anything on TV, I have to wonder about the choice as well. Isn't a catchphrase considered something you would here on a recurring basis? "Yada" was basically a one show deal, it's not like they used it every week.

 

I would just expect it to be something you'd be hearing in each episode, that's all.

Exactly. "Hello Jerry...Hello Newman" would have been a much better Seinfeld pick.

[CheezWizHed]

Agreed. My name rhymes with Jerry, so everytime I hear someone say Hello to me, I want to reply with "Hello Newman" and I've barely watched the show...

Cuprison has the full list. http://www.jsonline.com/b...ertainment/46264837.html Hello Newman made it at 50.

[NeedMoreFans]

I would say that "Yada, yada, yada" had a lot of staying power. People still say that quite a bit.

[thablingster]

I still use "homey don't play dat" every so often. Definitely one of my favorites.

That's a pretty weak list, I'll have to admit.

[temke]

NBC compiled the list. without having looked at it yet, i would think that NBC shows are heavy on the list

 

EDIT: just looked at the list and noticed that there were about 7 (i didnt count that close) lines from SNL

What is that from? I know Mr. Belding once said it on Saved by the Bell, but other than that, I dont know.

[Schlitz001]

 

"Damn Gina!" is another one I will quote occasionally in real life.

[logan82]

I have to agree a catchphrase to me means something that would be repeated over the course of several episodes at the very least. "Yada, yada, yada" doesn't really fit that.

[razzzorsharp]

They've made a huge mistake.

[OglivieHomePerm]

"That's what she said"

[Oldcity]

Razzzor, pretty sure you were going for an Arrested Development reference there? Because that one from GOB is a great one.
