Whazzup! Where's the beef? D'oh! That's hot. Fierce. What's your favorite pop culture catchphrase? What do you catch yourself saying? What ones do you hate? What can you live without ever hearing again?

Back to page topNot sure it qualifies as a catchphrase, but I often find myself asking "Are you gonna eat your tots?" when someone I'm dining with has something yummy-looking, tots or not, that I want to try (I limit this to close friends and family and don't approach random diners).
I don't think I have a favorite, unless "The snozzberries taste like snozzberries" counts, but I am so over "Can you hear me now?"
Dude!...

- Eat my shorts (Bart)
- Excellent (Burns)
- Why you little... (Homer)
- Ay, carumba (Bart)
- Yoink! (Snake)
- Okily-dokily (Ned)
- Thank you come again (Apu)
- Oh yeah! (Duffman)
- If anyone wants me, I'll be in my room (Lisa - from an episode that was mocking their own catch phrases)

Back to page topA few Simpson's quote that get thrown around our household al lot.
Ralph Wiggums: My cat's breath smells like cat food. (I use this one when I get caught daydreaming and don't know what my husband has just said)
Homer: Here's to alcohol, the cause of—and solution to—all life's problems. (It's a good toast to give when you're drinking)
Homer: I am so smart! S-M-R-T! I mean S-M-A-R-T... (When I gaff something off or say something completely stupid)

Back to page topOh yeah! Good ones. My sister and I do the SMRT one all of the time. It never gets old.

Back to page top"Ba Bye" from the SNL airlines skit.
"I live in a VAN down by the RIVER" Farley's Motivational speaker
"More Cowbell" the don't fear the reaper sketch (my favorite of all time)
"Yea, Yea, That's the Ticket" the pathalogical liar, Tommy Flanagan.
and who hasn't used the air/fiinger quotes like that Chris Farley character, Bennett Brauer - Maybe I'm not "the norm." I'm not "camera friendly." I don't "wear clothes that fit me." I'm not a "heartbreaker." I haven't "had sex with a woman;" I guess I don't "fall in line." I'm not "hygenic." I don't "wipe properly." I have no "charisma" or "self esteem." I don't "own a toothbrush" or "let my scabs heal." I can't "reach all the parts of my body." When I sleep, I "sweat profusely."
As long as we're on an SNL...
Back to page topAs long as we're on an SNL roll, I love the Jeopardy skits and often find myself saying "I'll take the rapist for $200, Alex." "That's therapist!"
I miss Will Ferrell's presence on the show. He could make the blandest skit funny with his no-holds-barred approach. The "Family Dinner" skits always had my sister and I cracking up. "I am a division manager!" "I drive a Dodge Stratus!" "I can do 100 pushups in 20 minutes!"
My new favorite quotable SNL character is Kristin Wiig's Penelope. "I'm best friends with all of the Muppets, including Scooter." "I have a condo on Jupiter so I probably know the area better."

Back to page topAnd we can't forget Mike Myers as Linda Richman - the host of Coffee Talk:
"I'm vaclempt, talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic - the chick pea is neither a chick nor a pea. Discuss."
"Her voice is like buttah" (Sorry, couldn't resist!)

Back to page topI'm not a devout 'Project Runway' viewer, but after SNL speared Christian, the most recent winner, I have been known to throw a "hot mess" or "tranny" out once in awhile.

Back to page topWhat about that dreaded Survivor catchphrase "The tribe has spoken" used just before a contestant's torch gets snuffed out?

If Regis Philbin was on...
Back to page topIf Regis Philbin was on Survivor and the tribe voted him off, would he reply,
"Is that your final answer?"
If Richard Dawson were the host, would he announce the vote by saying,
"Survey says..."
If Howie Mandel tried to form an alliance as a contestant, would he ask
"Deal..or no deal?"
If Donald Trump was in charge of Survivor and turned the tribes into casino workers or made them do slave labor for a small cottage industry he owned, would he get rid of them by saying,
"You're fired!"
If Anne Robinson brought her haughty British demeanor to rule the island, would she dismiss the contestants by saying,
"You are the weakest link!"
Inquiring minds want to know.*
*Another catchphrase, but I'm unsure of the origin.
How about "Four out of five...
Back to page topHow about "Four out of five dentists recommend"? And don't you just wonder what that fifth dentist thought you should use?

"Allrightythen," I could...
Back to page top"Allrightythen," I could definitely live without ever hearing again. Seems like Jim Carrey popularized that one, and I have no idea how it ever caught on - was it ever funny?
"You're so money!" is a lot of fun, but only when Vince Vaughn is the one talking.
Instead of trying to fit it into daily conversations, "Nobody puts Baby in the corner!" is probably best left for some ironic laughter when watching The Swayz on a lazy Sunday.
And speaking of, "... equals crazy delicious" may be past its prime.

Also, Maxwell Smart was known to say - "Missed it by *that* much"

Back to page topThis may not of swept the nation, but I like this line. It comes from the movie "GI Jane."
She knocks on the Master Chief's door and wants to be treated fairly and like one of the guys. He tells her to stand at attention and says ....
"Lt. O'Neill, when I want your opinion, I'll give it to you."
Try that one on your spouse.
