TV Land has decided to get into the ranking business by announcing the top one hundred TV catchphrases and quotes. We don’t know the order yet, but the cable network has released in alphabetical order all one hundred quotes. Most of the choices are pretty good, but I have to question some (“Denny Crane”?). Of course, as will happen with any major list, there are some glaring omissions (most of which from ABC, oddly enough):
- “Did I do that?” from Urkel (Family Matters)
- “Don’t be reediculous!” cousin Balki (Perfect Strangers)
- “Cut It Out,” Uncle Joey (Full House)
- “Angela,” Tony (Who’s The Boss?)
- “Picture It: Sicily 1942,” Sophia (Golden Girls)

Which quotes do you think were overlooked?
49 Comments
Okay, I’ll get the ball rolling. I know I shouldn’t hog quotes, but I can’t help it!
-”For me to POOP ON!” (Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”)
-”Niice.” (Borat, “The Ali G Show”)
-”Make It Work.” (Tim Gunn, “Project Runway”)
-”Congratulations. You’re still in the running to be America’s Next Top Model.” (Tyra Banks, “America’s Next Top Model”)
-”Seacrest Out.” (Ryan Seacrest, “American Idol”)
Okay, I’ll stop, even though I have many more…
My personal favorite is “Look into the nipples of the future!”, from Rocko’s Modern Life.
How about “You got it dude,” said by Michelle in Full House?
OK OK
So how can they omit the greatest catchphrase in all of televison history?
That catch phrase being….
BUT FIRST!!!
Zwicker,
“Live from New York, It’s Saturday Night” is a good one.
Also, along the lines of SNL, I also nominate: “In a van down by the river!”
‘I’m so excited….I’m so scaaaaaared!” — Saved by the Bell
“Physical Challenge!”–Double Dare
“Goodnight Nanny”– Muppet Babies
Um, these quotes suck. They left out a lot that I’m sure I’d be able to think of if I compliled a list.
Here’s some:
“Your tribe has spoken” – Survivor, Jeff Probst
“He’s just not that into you” – Sex and the City
“Save the cheerleader. Save the world” – Heroes
“Next stop, the Twilight Zone” – The Twilight Zone, Rod Serling
Oh, and one more:
“To the moon, Alice!” – The Honeymooners, Ralph Kramden
Seriously, how did they think up a less popular quote for the Honeymooners to put on this list? Amateurs…
Well¦ this list is terrible. I feel like every one people have listed in the comments is more relevant than 10 actually on the list¦ but here are my contributions:
“¦ what happens when people stop being polite, and start being real” “ The Real World
“How rude!” “ Stephanie Tanner
“I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” “ some old ad, but we’ve all heard it.
“Truthiness.” “ Steven Colbert
“Go go Gadget arms (or whatever)!” “ Inspector Gadget
“But wait! There’s more!” “ Every infomercial ever, but originally one for knives
“You like me! You really like me!” “ Sally Field
“…And knowing is half the battle” “ GI Joe psa’s
“Wilmaaaaaa!” – Fred Flinstone
Ok ok, I’m done
“Dumbass” Mr. Foreman That 70′s Show
“Hey” Mischa Barton – OC
“He broke up with me on a Post-it” Carrie – Sex in the City
“I ain’t your Bitch Bitch” Top Chef
“What you talkin’ about, Willis?” Diff’rent Strokes
“Beam me up, Scotty!” – Star Trek
I’ve got a few…
“Make it so.” — Capt. Picard
“Mmmmm … donuts…” — Homer Simpson
“Are you still Master of your Domain?” — Seinfeld
“Wonder Twin powers – activate!” — Zan and Jayna
“I’m Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?” – Bart Simpson, The Simpsons
I have to go with “Not that there’s anything wrong with that…” Jerry Seinfeld. I still say that one.
How about “Whoa!” by Joey Lawrence?
or “It’s a Good Thing” by Martha Stewart
I thought of a few omissions:
“NEWMAN!” -Jerry Seinfeld
“Hi, neighbor!” -Fred Rogers
“I’d like to buy a vowel” – any jabroni on Wheel of Fortune
“Will you accept this rose?” – The Bachelor
I can’t believe they used “Angela” by Tony from Who’s the Boss and overlooked when Tony says “Eh oh! Oh eh!”
“Don’t squeeze the Charmin”
“Ancient Chinese secret”
“Pretty sneaky sis”
“You’re killing me Larry!”
I dig commercials.
P.S. “Hey you guuuuyyyys” from Electric Company. Children’s television is riddled with catch phrases.
*off to do more research*
i’m not your bitch, bitch!
“just the facts, ma’am, just the facts” – sgt. joe friday
“oh boy” – dr. sam beckett quantum leap
“eat my shorts” – bart simpson
“i pity the fool” – mr. t
“have mercy” – uncle jessie
MalloryS- that real world one really should be in the list. that show changed tv forever!
“Oh Hell No” Maya Wilkes (girlfriends)
What, how can “SEACREST, OUT!” not be on that list
lol
“You’re in big trouble mister!” Full House
“Screw you guys, I’m going home!” South Park
“Ha! I kill me!” Alf
“Shes not a CHRRRISSTTIIAANN!!” – Margaret Perrin, Trading Spouses
“That’s so Mission Viejo.” – Roz
“FLAVOR FLAVVVV!” – Flavor Flav
“New York is in the mo***f*** building, ya’ll!” – New York, Flavor of Love
“Hello.” Lenny and Squiggy, Laverne and Shirley
“Hiddily Ho!” Ned Flanders, The Simpsons
“Darn, Darn, Darn, Darn, Darn, Darn, Darn!” Herman Munster, The Munsters
“Yup, yup, yup, yup, yup.” Al, Happy Days
“OOOOOhhh… There’s gonna be trouble.” Tootie, Facts of Life
“Kiss my grits.” Flo, Alice
“Thanks a lot, Mama!” Mama’s family, Mama’s Family
” Can I get a ‘Woah Bundy’?” Al, Married with Children
“Face it, Keaton. She wants you.” Alex, Family Ties
HOW, I ask, HOW could they leave out Steve Urkel?!!! That catch phrase was the first one that I ever learned! Not to mention the ones from Full House by Michelle, Stephanie and Uncle Jesse that have been mentioned above.
Also, even though it’s a kid’s show, what about this one?:
“Care Bears, SHARE!!” and the Care Bear Countdown
Or what about Scooby-Doo?
“Jinkies!” – Velma
“Zoinks!” – Shaggy and of course
“Scooby dooby doo!”
Tsk. What a travesty.
~Georgia~
I just have to add the rest of the quote to dumbanddumber’s Capt. Picard quote:
“Make it so Number One.” -Capt. Picard. “Star Trek The Next Generation
Not one from Arrested Development?!
First of all, I created an account to complain about “Live From New York It’s Saturday Night.” Here is why…
That is the most universal quote, because it is a show that has been watched by all generations…IDIOTS
Also, way to ignore Friends in general. Do the words “Smelly Cat” mean nothing to you?
…or how about “Let’s hug it out, bitch.”
or how about ” “~Jason Waller and/or Alex
GEEZ
This is Sportscenter
Also, B-side, will you marry me?
How could they not include
“Crikey” from Steve Irwin?
“DONKEY!!!!” Chef Ramsey, Hell’s Kitcken
“… Excellent…” Mr. Burns, The Simpsons
“Why, I oughta…” Moe, The Three Stooges
“You’re going to have to trust me.” Jack Bauer, 24
“Frakin’ toaster.” Humans, Battlestar Gallactica
“The number one threat: Bears.” Steven Colbert, The Colbert Report
“WAAALLLTTTT!!!!!” Michael, Lost
“Haha.” Nelson, The Simpsons
And for those of us from the East Coast — Baltimore/Washington Area,
“G*d Damn Bitch Set Me Up!” — Mayor Marion Barry (DC) to FBI
“Dude.” Hurly, Lost
“The truth is out there.” X-files
“Damn good coffee!” Agent Cooper, Twin Peaks
“Yes, Master.” Jeanie, I Dream of Jeanie
How about:
“He could go all the way!” – Chris Berman ESPN
“No whammy. No whammy. No whammy. Stop!” some gameshow from a long time ago.
I really can’t believe they left out so much of SNL. “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night” is a must. But also, what about “We are two wild and crazy guys!” Old yes, but still. Also, all of the Sean Connery on jeopardy quotes: “I’ll take the Penis Mightier for $400″ or “The Rapists for $200.”
This list is seriously disappointing.
two words:
Just Jack!
Leaving out Urkel is an atrocity of epic proportions….however i will give kudos for putting in Luke from the OC…lol writer must be an OC fan
Oh man, I’m going to sound like a total idiot when I say this, but it really bothers me when people refer to Joey from Full House as the girls’ uncle. He was just Danny’s friend.
Anyway, there are some really good ones that people have mentioned that I can’t believe were overlooked. My contribution:
“Kissmyass!” Whitney Houston, Being Bobby Brown
