I guess the question is, if other people use it as a catchphrase, but it wasn't a catchphrase on the show, or speech, or whatever, is that what they're counting? Must be.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

What's the difference between a tagline and a catchphrase?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Good luck storming the castle!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tagline beats Catchphrase in Thunderdome.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think to be a catchphrase, it has to be an actual spoken line from the show. "The truth is out there" was text on the screen at the end of the opening credits -- it wasn't something Mulder went around saying to people.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think it was on a poster in his office....or was that "I Want to Believe"?

Yeah, the poster said, "I Want to Believe" with a picture of a UFO.

Oh. I always thought of a catch phrase as a phrase from the show (V.O./narration or a line of dialogue) that made it into people's everyday speech.
Plus sort of what Jesse said. I think. Blame Narrator.
Tagline beats Catchphrase in Thunderdome.
Now it all makes sense.

I think it could go both ways. "Hey hey hey" is the character's catchphrase. "The truth is out there" is a catchphrase in the popular culture.
I'm just not crazy about the mixing, is what.
