TV Land list of 100 Greatest TV Catchphrases


There is a list for everything. But along with some of those damn clip shows (100 Scariest movies was my favorite -- I got to know them all without being creeped out of my skin), I can't resist a good list. Some of my favorites from the list were:
  • "Here it is, your moment of Zen" (Jon Stewart, The Daily Show)
  • "Jane, you ignorant slut" (Dan Aykroyd to Jane Curtin, Saturday Night Live)
  • "The truth is out there" (Fox Mulder, "The X-Files")
  • "Suit up!" (Barney Stinson, How I Met Your Mother)
  • "Up your nose with a rubber hose" (Vinnie Barbarino, Welcome Back, Kotter)
  • "We are two wild and crazy guys!" (Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd as Czech playboys, Saturday Night Live)


I thought the list of catchphrases was good, but I thought there were some that I was dissappointed were not on there. Come on, I mean if Paris Hilton's "That's hot" makes it on there (which as a pop culture junkie -- I have never heard before) -- these ones should have made it:

  • "Into every generation, a Slayer is born." (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
  • "That's what she said." (Michael Scott, The Office)
  • "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!" (Jan Brady, The Brady Bunch)
  • "I was a boozer, a user and a loser." (Jerri Blank, Strangers with Candy)

Anyone have others they thought were neglected?
