'Touched'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Did the Secret Service team just get on a plane and went home after the robbery, because ABC News producer Joe Goldman was able to walk right up to the twins in the lobby and “directly engage” Barbara as she screwed around on the Internet. >[link]Did they get on a plane and "went" home? Are first graders writing Wonkette, or just editing it?
I take issue with some of them--the news-related ones are just (eta: not "just" in a depreciated sense--but TV's acting a different mode for those) records of something that happened, not something designed for TV.
That having been said, I couldn't read the list to myself. I tried, but two of the phrases are the same, and I had to say the one I recognised out loud...and it was downhill from there.
My favourite? I'm going to (for now) go with "Holy (whatever), Batman!" (Robin, "Batman"). The one that I think should be #1 is "Good night, and good luck" (Edward R. Murrow, "See It Now"). The one I use most in real life...well, I'm going to have to go with "D'oh!" (Homer Simpson, "The Simpsons"), although I wish it were one of "Don't make me angry ..." (David Banner, "The Incredible Hulk") and "I love it when a plan comes together" (Hannibal, "The A-Team"). The one that's the most fun to say..."I'm Rick James, bitch!" (Dave Chappelle as Rick James, "Chappelle's Show").
Honourable mentions (i.e. not on the list): "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly" (Arthur Carlson, "WKRP in Cincinnati") and "Does Wayne Brady have to choke a bitch?" (Wayne Brady, "Chappelle's Show").
I agree, ita (and yes, I was going to post that as well).
"Have you no sense of decency?"is not in the same category as
"Welcome to the O.C., bitch"
I think I might say, "Danger, Will Robinson," the most.
And do the arm movements.
In front of Others.
Which is why we fear you.
I have to admit--when I went into Orange County for work a lot, I said "Welcome to the OC, bitch!" every time I crossed the county line.
For lo, I am a loser.
I am leaving. be back in 12 days. Hopefully at least one report from an internet cafe.
BYE!!!
SO EXCITED!!!
Safe travels!!!
Poor denial-y bon bon.
I think that list is awfully loose with the definition of "catchphrase." I mean, "Ask not..." is a catchphrase?!?
Bye, msbelle! I'm so excited for you and Mac!
