Cartoon Catch Phrases. Wacky, fun, and often inescapable if there are any impressionable children around.

Due to the sizable nature of the page, and the fact that it will keep growing, please try to keep them in alphabetical order by series on this page so it doesn't delve into chaos.

If the phrase has become popular due to the audience repeating it, and not the characters in the show, it belongs in Memetic Mutation.

    • And of, course, the film's mantra, "Keep moving forward."
  • Metalocalypse has several:
    • Dr. Rockzo: "I'm Dr. Rockzo - the rock n' roll clown!" "I DO COCAINE!!!" "K-K-K-YEAH!!!"
      • Rockzo says he does cocaine three times in the first 25 seconds he's on screen.
    • Nathan: "Brutal." "That's awesome!" "We are here to make (fill-in-the-blank) metal." Big No.

  • Mighty Mouse: "Here I come to save the day!" The 1966 follow up series, Ralph Bakshi's The Mighty Heroes had "Yahoo!" (Strongman), "Whee!" (Tornadoman), "Gung Ho!" (Ropeman), "Cuckoo! Cuckoo!" (Cuckooman), and "Up and away!" (Diaperman).
  • The Mr. Men Show: Every character has their own Catch Phrase. For example, Mr. Grumpy's is "Crooked Cucumbers!"
  • Mr/Magoo "Magoo, you've done it again!"
  • My Little Pony: The G3 Rainbow Dash used "Darling" all the time, to refer to everyone. It works since she gives off the aura of being older and more mature than other ponies. Later her catchphrase was changed to "Dashing".
    • From My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, we have Big Macintosh's "Eeyup" (sometimes "Nnope").
    • Twilight Sparkle has "Dear Princess Celestia..." which ends almost every episode.

    • Random Person: Aren't you a little X to be Doing Y? Phineas/Candace/Whoever: Why Yes, Yes I/We Are.
  • Pinky and The Brain.
    • There's the titular characters' standard exchange at the start of the opening credits:
Cquote1

 Pinky: Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight?

Brain: The same thing we do every night: try to Take Over the World!

Cquote2
    • A similar exchange (the above with "tonight" replaced by "tomorrow night") appeared at the end of each episode, after their plan had failed.
    • Pinky has a small collection of odd words he'll use all of a sudden. The three most common being "Narf!", "Poit", and "Zort!".
      • For one episode, he continually said "Troz!" When Brain asked him about it, he truthfully replied that it was "zort" backwards.
        • The exact line was: "It's zort in the mirror! Troz!"
      • He's also been known to pick up other words that sound silly and start verbally ticking with them, for example "Fjord!" and "Hark!"
    • And who could forget Brain asking Pinky "Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?", to which Pinky's reply almost never has anything to do with the actual plot of the episode.
    • Brain: "I'm going to have to hurt you."
    • The Brain is also fond of exclaiming "YES!" at any given opportunity.
    • After the Brain has finished explaining his latest scheme, Pinky will often respond, "Egad, Brain, brilliant! Oh... wait... no..." Followed by some objection (e.g. "Won't that cost a whole lot of money?")
  • Popeye:
    • "I yam what I yam", "Ug-ug-ug-ug-ug", "Well blow me down!" "I'm strong to the finnich cause I eat me spinach, I'm Popeye the Sailor Man! Toot, too!" and "Blow me down!"
  • The Powerpuff Girls: "So Once Again the Day Is Saved?", "The City Of Townsville!" The creators poke fun at this:
Cquote1

 (Opening shot: the city skyline in the afternoon.)

Narrator: The city of Townsville! (Shot of the exterior of Townsville Hall.) The setting of Townsville! (Shot of a couch in the Mayor's office.) The settee of Townsville! (The Mayor walks into view, hops onto the couch, and pulls out a compact disc.) The CD of Townsville! (Close-up of a record player turntable. The disc is set on this, and the needle is lowered. Pull back to show the player as an old victrola, the needle screeching and squeaking against the plastic. Pull back across the office; the Mayor snaps his fingers to the "beat.") The pity of Townsville! (Ms. Bellum steps into view, her back to the camera; cut to in front of her, at the office door, and tilt up from her feet. She has one hand on her hip.) The pretty of Townsville!

Cquote2
    • and:
Cquote1

 (The city skyline.)

Narrator: The city of Townsville! (Pull back to bring the subdivision into view.) Pokey Oaks County! A sleepy suburb of the city of Townsville. (Pull back again to bring Pokey Oaks Kindergarten into view.) Pokey Oaks Kindergarten! A school in Pokey Oaks County, a sleepy suburb of the city of Townsville. (Zoom in and dissolve quickly to Ms. Keane in the classroom.) Ms. Keane! The teacher of Pokey Oaks Kindergarten, a school in the sleepy suburbs of? (She glares at the camera.) I'm...oh, I'm sorry.

Cquote2
  • Punky Brewster: "Holy Macanoly!" and Glomer's "K.O. Dokey!"
  • Quick Draw McGraw had "I'll do the thinnin' around here, and dooooooon't you forget it!", usually after Baba Looey says something that starts with "I theen" (his broken version of "I think").
  • In The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, there's Race's "Fur on a catfish!" and Jonny's "Slammin'!"
  • Re Boot: Bob is infamous for making catchphrases out of several things he says, and the series even has a Running Gag of other characters using some of his more common ones.
    • Enzo's a repeat offender as well (Alphanumeric!), and Andr A Ia's got "Stay Frosty."
      • "Stay Frosty" starts off as Bob's, though. Andr A Ia doesn't really start using it until after Bob is shot into the Web and the following Plot-Relevant Age-Up for her and Matrix.
      • Enzo's Alphanumeric got lampshaded in season 4. When Kid!Enzo says it in front of Adult!Matrix, Matrix is embarrassed that he used to say it all the time. As an adult he only used it sarcastically, and rarely.
    • Another one that starts off as Bob's and then spreads to most of the cast is "This is bad. This is very bad.". At one point, it gets Lampshaded:
Cquote1

 Phong: This is bad.

Bob: Is it very bad?

Cquote2
  • Recess:
    • T.J.: "Tender."

  • Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby have their trademark "OHHHHHHHH!"
  • The Ren and Stimpy Show:
    • Ren:
      • "Ju eediot!" and the variant "Ju fat, bloated eediot!", the latter taken, like Ren's accent, from Peter Lorre's character in The Maltese Falcon.

    • "And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids!" was never actually said in the show, though similar things were.
    • The Scrappy: "Da-da-da-DA-da-daa! Puppy Power!", "Let me at 'em, let me at 'em!" and "I'll splat 'em!"

  • The Simpsons
    • Nearly every character who has appeared more than ten times has at least one, with the notable exception of Lisa. The writers and producers of The Simpsons deliberately changed Bart's catchphrase on a regular basis, even going so far as to do a Lampshade Hanging about it in one episode (where Bart becomes famous for his catchphrase "I didn't do it", and that ends with a long sequence of characters spouting their catchphrase, ending with all of them staring expectantly at Lisa, who has no catchphrase and goes to her room in a huff.
    • Also, parodied in The Simpsons' "Homer to the Max" episode, in which a TV cop, also named Homer Simpson, has the catch phrase "And that's the end of that chapter." When he was reworked to be a clumsy oaf, his catchphrase became "Uh-oh, Spaghetti-o!"
    • The changing of Bart's catchphrases was lampshaded a couple of times - in "The Summer of 4' 2" Bart complains to Marge that Lisa became popular by copying him, just as she says "Don't have a cow, man". Marge replies "You haven't said that in four years. Let Lisa have it." And in "Skinner's Sense of Snow", Bart reads "Underachiever and proud of it" in his permenant record and asks "How old is this thing?"
    • Bart Simpson: "Eat my shorts", "Don't have a cow, man", "Ay Caramba", (when introducing himself) I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?
    • Homer Simpson: "D'oh!", "Woo-hoo", "Mmmm... donuts", "Why you little!", (spotting something that interests him) "Ooh!", (disappointed) "Oh! or Aw!"
    • Marge Simpson: "Hrmmm"
    • Maggie Simpson: her "sucking pacifier" sound
    • Mr. Burns: "Excellent", "You're fired", "Release the hounds"

    • Apu: "Thank you, come again."

    • Lenny: "Oh my eye, I'm not supposed to get .... in it."

  • The early '90s cartoon of Sonic the Hedgehog (a.k.a Sat AM) gave Sonic the catchphrase "WAY past cool!" This carried over into Archies' comic version.
    • Also some variation on "Juice time!" for when Sonic started running.
    • Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (a.k.a Ao STH) had, "Up, over, and gone!"
    • And a number of others, including "Gotta speed, keed!" (occasionally with some other verb followed by a noun that rhymed with the verb, e.g. "Gotta roll, troll!") and let's not forget Robotnik's infamous cry of "I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!". Ironically, the first time he said it (in the first episode of the series, Super Special Sonic Search And Smash Squad) it was spoken normally, rather than as the drawn-out yell it's more famous as. "You took the words right out of my mouth! I hate that hedgehog!" It was also parodied in the episode Over The Hill Hero, with Captain Rescue ending the episode with "I LIKE that hedgehog!"
    • In Sonic Sat AM and Adventures, when impatient, Sonic would tap his foot and say "I'm waiiiiiiting!"
  • South Park
    • "Oh my god, they killed Kenny"
      • Whenever Kenny is killed, Stan and Kyle share the exchange: "Oh my god, they killed Kenny!" "You bastards!" In one episode, the two characters used this exchange to locate each other. Many episodes subvert the exchange in other ways.
      • "You know what? I learned something today!" Usually said by one of them to begin summarizing the episode's Anvilicious Aesop. Subverted in "Chinpokomon" when Stan makes up a new moral to stop Kyle from bombing Pearl Harbor. "You know what? I learned something... just now."
      • Stan often says "Dude, this is pretty fucked up right here!"
    • Eric Cartman has a number of catchphrases, including,
      • "I want cheesy poofs!" was popular in early seasons.
      • "I'm not fat, I'm big-boned!" was also popular in the early seasons.
      • "Screw you guys, I'm going home!" Parodied in the Phonics Monkey episode, when he says, "Screw you guys, I'm gonna go be home-schooled."
      • "I'll kick you in the nuts!"
      • "I hate you guys."
      • "I hate you Kenny."
      • "You black asshole!"
      • "You guys! Seriously!" In fact, whenever Cartman would normally say "serious", he says "seriously" instead, such as "Stop it! I'm seriously!"
      • "Respect my authoritah!"
      • "But moooooooooooooom!"
      • "No, kitty! That's a bad kitty!"
      • His most recent catch phrase is "'the fuck is this?" when disappointed by something.
    • Chef: "Hello, children!" Like the Cartman quote above, Chef always says "children" even if he is talking to or about a single child.
    • Mr. Macky: "Mmmkay?" Made the subject of a song in the movie.
    • Butters: "Awww, hamburgers!"
    • Sheila Broflovski: "What what WHAT?!"
    • Jimmy: "Wow, what a terrific audience!" as well as ending many sentences with "very much."

    • Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo: "Howdy ho!"
    • Mrs. Crabtree: "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?"
    • Towlie: "Always remember to bring your towel!" and "You wanna get high?"
    • Saddam Houssein: "Relax, guy! Take a rest!"
    • "They took our jobs!" by any redneck, which degrades as they repeat it.
    • Mister Slave: "Jethuth Chritht."
    • Al Gore: "I'm cereal," and "Excelsior!"
    • A number of one-shot characters make heavy use of a catchphrase during their episode:
      • The Hardly Boys: "I'm getting a clue..." in the episode "Mystery of the Urinal Deuce."
      • Mr. Big Record Producer: "I am above the law!" in the episode "Chef Aide."

  • The Super Mario Bros Super Show!'s animated segments had Mario's "Pasta Power!" While the live-action segments had "Uh-oh!"
  • Multiple Teen Titans characters have them. Robin's is "Teen Titans Go!" (other characters have said this as well) and also seems to enjoy saying Slade's name with a snarl, Cyborg's is "Boo ya!" (parodied several times; in the origin episode "Go!" he says "Okay, I'm only gonna say this once" before saying it, and when disguised as a cow in "Employee of the Month" he says "MOO YA!" and in "Deception" they had a robot copy of Cyborg that primarily said his catchphrase) Raven says "whatever" occasionally. Starfire often says "Glorious!" And Beast Boy tends to say "Dude" a lot, it was revealed in "Go!" he learned the word from Cyborg, his catchphrase before then appears to have been "Wowser". Más y Menos had the catchphrase "Más y Menos, sí podemos!" Literally meaning "More or less, we can"
  • The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have had several. The first cartoon's most notable ones were "Cowabunga" and "Turtle power!", while the second toon had "It's ninja time" for its sixth season, and several for its supporting characters, such as Casey Jones' "Goongala!", The Shredder's "None of you will leave here alive," and Hun's "Oh, Crud".
    • It's not something you would be able to identify him by, but 2003 Don has a habit of muttering "Come on, come on!" when he's concentrating... which is at least once a story arc, being The Smart Guy and all.
  • The Teletubbies has loads of catchphrases. There are so many catchphrases that all of their dialogue consists of these.
    • Take a sip of any time a teletubby says "Ehoh" "Uhoh" "Again, again" "Byebye" or their signature hum, and you'll be on the floor in a few minutes.

  • Tex Avery cartoons in general

Cquote2
    • Decepticons! Retreat!
    • MEGATRON HAS FALLEN! I, STARSCREAM, AM THE NEW LEADER OF THE DECEPTICONS!
    • Beast Wars gave fans several much-loved Catch Phrases, including "We're all gonna die" (generally followed by "Shut up, Rattrap"), "That's just prime", "For the Royalty!", and Megatron's immortal "'Yeeeeesssss...". While they don't use "roll out" because, well, they don't have anything to roll, Primal once used it while holding the spark of Prime.
      • There was also Cheetor's "Ultra gear" and Scorponok's "I'm second in command!"
    • It should be noted, that along with stats, every character has a catch phrase or motto printed on the box the toy comes in. However, only one (Optimus Prime's "Freedom is the right of all Sentient Beings") has ever been used in any other media (specifically, the 2007 movie), and in some cases, the quote is something the character would never say in a million years (for example, "You ain't heard nothin' yet!" for Animated Soundwave, who is basically the Transformers version of HAL.)
      • As a Mythology Gag, Optimus Primal in Beast Wars actually says it to Megatron while he's holding Prime's spark (aka Soul).
Cquote1

 Optimus: Freedom is the right of all Sentient Beings, Megatron!!

Megatron: Then they better stand out of my way!

Cquote2
    • Captain Fanzone: "This is why I hate [x]!" X is often "machines," but it's been other things on rare occasion.
    • In Animated, many characters have been known to say some version of "Give me some warning next time!" The exact phrase varies, but many, many characters have told others to warn them before doing something again.
    • In Animated, Bulkhead tends to break things. Hence, at least in the first season, "[Oops/Sorry,] my bad!" would often ring out. This is also partially a Mythology Gag, as in the live-action 2007 film, Optimus Prime says this after he ruins the Witwickys' lawn.
    • Me Grimlock no bozo! Me Grimlock king!
    • Ultra Magnus just can't deal with that now.
  • Tweenies: If interjections count, Jake likes to say "Wow-ee!", while Milo likes to say "Milo, away!" (or variants where applicable).

    • And don't forget all those random people who always say "That's [i]kooky![/i]
