Subject: [PW] ? TV Catchphrases (Quotation Query #635)


This is a query that by its nature could clog up the list with
irrelevant postings, so please send responses to me offlist at
fred.shapiro at yale.edu. 
If I get any kind of significant responses, I can summarize for the
list.

TV Land has just issued a list of the 100 greatest catchphrases in TV
history.  Many of these do not appear on the list of Television
Catchphrases in The Yale Book of Quotations.  I am interested
particularly in considering adding catchphrases from recent decades to
the second edition of the YBQ.  Many of these I did not consider
because, frankly, I haven't watched as much television in recent decades
as I did in the 1960s and 1970s.  I would therefore welcome suggestions
as to which of the following catchphrases are truly famous enough to be
included among the 100 most famous catchphrases of TV history:


Bam!  -- Emeril Live

Denny Crane.  -- Boston Legal

Here it is, your moment of Zen.  -- The Daily Show

Hey now!  -- The Larry Sanders Show

Holy crap!  -- Everybody Loves Raymond

Homey don't play that!  -- In Living Color

How you doin'?  -- Friends

I'm Larry, this is my brother Darryl...  -- Newhart

I'm Rick James, bitch!  -- Chappelle's Show

No soup for you!  -- Seinfeld

Norm!  -- Cheers

Suit up!  -- How I Met Your Mother

Tell me what you don't like about yourself.  -- Nip/Tuck

That's hot.  -- The Simple Life

The tribe has spoken.  -- Survivor

Welcome to the O.C., bitch.  -- The O.C.

Well, isn't that special?  -- Saturday Night Live

Yada, yada, yada.  -- Seinfeld

Yeah, that's the ticket.  -- Saturday Night Live

You eeeediot!  -- Ren & Stimpy

You look mahvelous!  -- Saturday Night Live
