Adam Carolla mentioned something on his podcast this week about how they tried to give Uncle Jessie on Full House a catch phrase. He would say "Have mercy" when crazy stuff happen or when hot chicks would flirt with him, but it never really caught on and by later seasons he didn't do it.

Can anyone think of any other attempts at catch phrases?

"That is so fetch!"

cut it out ... Mr. Sandusky

"That was pretty wizard"

I'm bringing it back!!

"And here's your host, Chevy Chase!"

"...to the extreme!"

Didn't they go through a few candidate catch phrases on Chico and the Man before settling on "Looking good"? I think one of them was "It's not my job". In fact, I think I owe that knowledge to some Nick at Nite/TV Land commercial campaign.

By that same token.... "streets ahead."

I try to reference the catch-phrase greatness that was Poochie on a daily basis

"This dead hooker isn't going to bury itself!"

Full House tried a lot of them:

"Have mercy!"
"You got it, dude!"
"Cut it out!" (with hand motions)
"How rude!" (JarJar actually says this one in Episode 1)

dy-no-mite!!!!!!

All of those caught on.

You don't understand the concept here, do you? lol

"I'll be in my room."

This one is from an old Dave Coulier show that aired on Nickelodean. He just brought it over to Full Huse.

"It's not my job" was a Freddie Prinze catchphrase from his standup act, much of which they tried to incorporate into "Chico and the Man", much as had been done for Gabe Kaplan with "Welcome Back, Kotter".

SG-1 Teal'c "Indeed"

These two:
"You got it, dude!"
"How rude!"

Got used a lot by my girls during their Full House phase ...

"Are you havin' a laugh?"

Chachi on Happy Days "Wah wah wah!"

Urkel- "Did I do that?" and "Anybody Got Any Cheese?" WTF?
Fonzie- "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" -although god knows I tried to help...
Balki- "Don't be Redikulas"
Balki- "Get out of the city!!!"
Joey- "Howya Doin?"

Producer Gary Marshall tried to have a catch-phrase for every single character on all of his '70s shows. They really seemed to push that bit with Richie Cunningham singing "I found my thrill (on Bluberry Hill)..."

I get so annoyed when people insinuate that Lucas was stealing "Full House" catchphrases for TPM.

C-3PO says "how rude" to the other protocol droid in Cloud City in TESB 2 years before Jodie Sweetin was even born.

I don't passionately hate TPM but it is legitimately the worst Star Wars movie by far and there's plenty there to criticize without drawing ridiculous connections to terrible sitcoms that simply don't exist.
