Catchphrase

"Robin: Holy cow! Batgirl: You just had to say that."

- The New Batman Adventures, "Critters"

An expression used by a character in numerous episodes of a show. Merely uttering this phrase in the office will key others in to the character you're referring to. For a line to be a catchphrase, it should be always the same, and not just catchy. Note: To be a catchphrase, the phrase must be repeated multiple times—just because something is the most memorable line of a movie does not make it a catchphrase unless it is said more than once. Two like-minded characters can form a Catchphrase Spouting Duo, creating an entire lexicon of catch phrases with astonishing efficiency. When everybody gets in on the action, it's a Share Phrase.

By the Power of Grayskull and In the Name of the Moon are forms of Catchphrase, as is Verbal Tic. Beam Me Up, Scotty is a false or oft-misquoted catchphrase. If portions of the catchphrase vary depending on time, location, action, item, etc, then it's a Mad Libs Catchphrase. If the character has a Badass Creed, that will probably double as a catch phrase. If one character is imitating another character, it's a Borrowed Catchphrase; if they get it wrong, it's a Mangled Catchphrase.

See also Arc Words, Catchphrase Interruptus, Flashback to Catchphrase, One-Liner, Phrase Catcher, Stock Phrases, Verbal Tic and Word Power. Also: "On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase, if you're looking for those said in episode previews to keep the audience excited. If a character appears to be setting up their catch phrase but then says something different, it's a Subverted Catchphrase.

Contrast with Author Catchphrase, which is when a phrase is recycled across unrelated works by the same author/actor/creator. When the audience adopts a character's line as a catchphrase, then we get Memetic Mutation.

Anime
"Naota : Nothing amazing happens here. Everything is ordinary."
 * AIR: Misuzu's "gao".
 * The V-sign she makes while shouting "V" counts as well.
 * And who can resist her "nihaha"? Well, aside from Yukito, that is.
 * Akagi: Akagi's chuckle. Typically used when he's just about to destroy someone by playing mahjong.
 * Angel Beats: "Get chance and luck!" -TK
 * "How foolish." -Shiina
 * "Operation Start! -Yurippe
 * "Call Me Christ" -Takeyama
 * "What an Idiot!" -Yui
 * Aria: Aika often corrects her friends by shouting "Embarrassing remarks are not allowed!" (Hazukashii serifu kinshi!), but to her defense it has to be said that her friends are indeed very prone to saying awfully silly things.
 * Also in Aria, Alicia often utters "Ara ara" ("well well"), along with a giggle to signify her good-natured and easy-going disposition. That it tends to infuriate other people at times doesn't faze her in the least.
 * Axis Powers Hetalia:
 * "This trope will become one with Russia, da?"
 * Kol Kol Kol Kol Kol Kol
 * Let's get married! Married! MARRIED!
 * I'll be the hero, of course!
 * YOU BASTARD!
 * Azumanga Daioh: "Ah!"
 * Beauty Pop: Kiri often proclaims that she will "add some magic". And she does. Through hairstyling.
 * Black Butler:
 * Sebastian: "Aku made shitsuji desu kara." (Translated: "I am one hell of a butler." or "I am a butler to the core.")
 * This is a pun since "akuma" means "demon" and depending on the kanji used it can also be translated as "I am a demon and a butler." Sebastian's used this meaning once or twice before, as well... usually before slaughtering whoever it was he was ordered to kill.
 * "I am merely one hell of a deer"
 * "Yes, my lord."
 * "It is only natural that a servant of Phantomhive would be able to (insert whatever task was just accomplished)."
 * Funimation translated it as " A Phantomhive butler who isn't able to do (whatever just happened) isn't worth his salt" Ciel eventually ends the phrase after a while.
 * Black Cat: Train has his "I've come to bring some bad luck" line. Lampshaded as being his catchphrase by Creed, who repeats it and says that that is indeed the Black Cat's trademark line.
 * The Big O utilizes two catch-phrases: "Showtime!" and "Action!", which summon the titular robot to Roger Smith's current location and give Roger control, respectively. His android companion Dorothy asks him in one episode why he always says that, but receives no answer. Nietzsche Wannabe pilot Schwarzwald cleverly translated his catchphrase into German: "Es gibt Showzeit!", or rather the closest approximation the Japanese voice actor could manage. Note that this is in fact grammatically incorrect, "Es gibt" (which literally means "It gives") means something like "There is/exists". This was actually corrected to "Es ist Showzeit!" in the subtitles. ( Although you... can't really say that, either. )
 * In addition, in the final episode Roger activates the Big O's Finishing Move Wave Motion Gun with the command "Final Stage!"
 * The phrase is actually shown to be a literal vocal activation in one episode, when a villain builds a robot bust of Roger and has it learn to call "Big O!" in the exact same fashion. Combining this with Roger's watch led to an attempt to have Big O follow the robot off a pier and sink.
 * Several times R. Dorothy Wainright told the hero "You're a louse, Roger Smith".
 * Bleach: Nova has "Not a problem".
 * Don't forget Dondochakka, don'tcha know!
 * Don Kanonji "The spirits are always with you!" commonly followed by his other catch phrase "Bwahaha!"
 * Anyone who has ever achieved shikai has a catchphrase totally unique to themselves.
 * Except for Ichigo and Kenpachi.
 * What about Ichigo screaming "BASTARD!" at everyone he fights?
 * Don´t forget arrancars, niño.
 * Orihime: KUROSAKI-KUN! KUROSAKI-KUN! KUROSAKI-KUN!
 * Rukia: "Tawake!" in Japanese
 * Toshiro: "It's Captain Hitsugaya."
 * Bobobobo Bobobo: Why is this the best catchphrase? I'll tell why: It's because...I'M A TORPEDO!
 * Cardcaptor Sakura: "Zettai, daijyoubu dayo!" ("Everything will surely be alright!")
 * Code Geass: "All HAIL BRITANNIA!"
 * Yes, your majesty!
 * "Lelouch vi Britannia commands you..." and "...With all your strength!" for...well, it should be pretty obvious.
 * "the only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed!"
 * "All tasks at hand have been cleared" may also count.
 * "(With this) all the conditions have been cleared"
 * "What do people value most? That's right, their lives!"
 * "This is why I hate Britannians!" (At least for the first season).
 * Cutey Honey: "Kawaru wa yo!" (I'm gonna change!)
 * Dancougar: Shinobu Fujiwara has a tendency to yell out "Yatteyaruze!" (Let's do it!) when he is about to pull off some ass kicking.
 * Darker Than Black: November 11 is always just joking.
 * As is Itsuki Koizumi
 * Death Note has Mikami's cries of "SAKUJO!" or "DELETE!" with every name he puts down. Additionally, the number of times Light uses the phrase "Misa, you idiot!" must qualify.
 * What, we forgot "I will be the god of this new world"?
 * And "Exactly as planned"?
 * Despite the Memetic Mutation, he only says that once.
 * A solid four times, actually. Most people just remember the biggest one, but there were still others.
 * And "Humans are so interesting!"?
 * Misa: "I'll do my best!" "I'm an actress" "I'll do anything for you!"
 * Mello: "I'll be number one!"
 * Both L and Light: "I am justice!"
 * A lot of characters say, "Matsuda, you idiot.''
 * Detective Conan:
 * "I'm Conan Edogawa, Detective!"
 * "One truth prevails!"
 * "A re re"? (Used for Conan to create Eureka Moments.)
 * "Oi, oi." (For deadpan snarking.)
 * Diamond Daydreams has "Kita e" (meaning "To the north"), which happens to be the title of the Visual Novel series it is more or less based on.
 * Digimon:
 * In Digimon Savers, Yoshino is known for saying "this is the worst."
 * In the dub version of the series, Digimon Data Squad, Marcus has been assigned the catch phrase of "it's fightin' time!" This actually doesn't end up being very intrusive because... well, it is fighting time most of the time on this show.
 * Marcus parodies it himself in the series' eighth episode, when it's lunch... err, that is, eating time.
 * Yoshino also parodies hers at the end of the first episode, when she says that Marcus is the worst.
 * Gaomon's catchphrase is either "Yes, Master!" or "Sir, yes, sir!" depending on which version you're watching.
 * In Digimon Adventure 02, Miyako also ends up using the phrase "Bingo!" quite often, to the point where it becomes a phrase and part of the main title in her Image Song, "Crash de Bingo". In the dub, this became Yolei's "Perfecto!".
 * In Digimon Tamers—since his human tamer's But Not Too Foreign—Terriermon gets "Moumantai," a Cantonese phrase meaning 'take it easy'. The dub kept it, and it was also used in his Image Song, "Anytime Moumantai."
 * In Digimon Frontier, Izumi says "Commozione!" (Italian for 'commotion') whenever she's especially happy or pleased. She still speaks Italian in the dub (in which her name is Zoe), just not that particular word.
 * The dub also gives Izzy "Prodigious!" in Digimon Adventure and a group catchphrase of "Aw, nuts!" in Digimon Tamers. Almost everyone says it at least once.
 * Ahem. Does "It's SHOWTIME!" count? . Also used in both versions.
 * Digimon Xros Wars has a couple from the main leads.
 * Taiki has "I just can't turn my back on him/her!" to show his Chronic Hero Syndrome.
 * Shoutmon has "You really wanna know? Then I will tell you!" and variations of that quote whenever he is about to beat someone's ass. He even uses it in the final battle.
 * Dragonball Z: I don't know about either the Japanese or the English version, but in the Latin American dub, Vegeta has the catchphrase "Insect!".
 * "I am Vegeta, the prince of all saiyans!"
 * El Cazador de la Bruja:
 * Nadie: "If you've got any last words, say them now."
 * Ellis: "Yes sir!" (the jury is out as to whether she's being cute or sarcastic)
 * Ricardo: "Let's have a drink in hell, amigo!"
 * Excel Saga: Excel opens every ACROSS meeting with an over-enthusiastic "HAIL IL PALAZZO!" Hyatt follows it up with a weak "Hail...", sometimes collapsing shortly afterward.
 * "This world is corrupt!"
 * Eyeshield 21. Good lord, Eyeshield 21.
 * Hiruma has "YA-HA," as well as "fucking" nicknames for everyone he meets.
 * Taki has "A ha ha!" usually accompanied by a wink and an artful high kick. He also tends to describe things as "100%!" and his response to any failure on his part is "That's impossible!"
 * Monta punctuates his speech with "MAX!," and the most common variation on this--"Catch MAX!"—is probably a catchphrase in its own right. He's, like, Catchphrase MAX!
 * Kurita uses the nonsense word "Funnuraba!" when tackling or blocking players, which is eventually adopted by the entire line.
 * Ishimaru often says "It's okay, it's okay," though we can't blame you if you don't remember him.
 * Juumonji, Kuroki, and Togano as a group tend to, when encountering something unbelievable, outrageous, infuriating, or otherwise provocative, say "Hah?" "Haaah?" "HAAAAAAAH?!" in succession, progressively louder and more emphatic each time—leading people to refer to them as the "Hah-Hah Brothers."
 * In the anime, at least, Harao replaces "my" with "mine," leading to such constructions as "mine field," "mine team," et cetera. He's got antiquated speech across the board (occasionally slipping into "thou" and such in the manga); That's only part of it. Generally remarked upon as being annoying by other characters.
 * Agon Kongo calls those inferior to him (that is to say, everyone), "trash."
 * Ikkyu peppers his speech with the phrase "oni," which in Japanese serves to emphasize words, and is sometimes translated as "completely."
 * Actually, the official English translation by Shonen Jump is "freakin" (not to be confused with Hiruma's catch phrase, which is changed to Damn).
 * Kotaro Sasaki's catchphrase is the word "smart" in English, but in context means something more like "cool"—e.g. "That's smart," "That's not smart," "Smartly," et cetera.
 * Hayato Akabi, on the other hand, often punctuates his sentences with "Fu."
 * Kisaragi, being a ridiculously thin and sparkly Bishonen, says that most things are "beautiful," but the iteration that becomes his catchphrase is "Strength is beautiful."
 * Marco tends to end his sentences with "...I'd say," e.g. "He's a real monster, I'd say."
 * Two teams—the Deimon Devil Bats and the Oujou White Knights—even have their own catchphrases, chanted in the pregame huddle: "We're gonna kill 'em!" and "Glory on the Kingdom," respectively.
 * Ikari of the Ojou White Knights has an often-repeated battlecry of "Ora ora!"
 * Yamato Takeru of the Teikoku Alexanders has one of the more epic catch phrases in "It's settled! It's my win!" Bonus points are earned when he says it in a Crowning Moment of Awesome as he.
 * FLCL:

""Shinji": Okay, okay, okay. I mustn't run away, I mustn't run? Okay I got that, good, okay. Now, if I were to run away, let's analyze that - where the fuck would I go? I'm on a big blue ball!"
 * There's also Haruko's "CHAAAANCE!", and using "ITADAKIMASU!" ("LUNCH TIME!" in the dub) as Calling Your Attacks.
 * Fairy Tail:
 * Men!!!
 * "I'm all fired up" -Natsu
 * "Aye" And "S/He likes you." -Happy
 * Fist of the North Star: "Omae wa mo shindeiru." ("You Are Already Dead.") (Cue massive burst of blood from a random mook.)
 * Lampshaded occasionally by the villains. In one memorable case, Souther's overseeing of the humiliation and execution of a friend of Kenshiro's is interrupted by a bloodied and beaten mook sliding near him. Souther, instantly knowing who did this, casually says, "'You are already dead,' huh?" to the mook, who promptly explodes. Cue dramatic entrance of Kenshiro.
 * This catchphrase is also used by Kenshiro's predecessor and namesake, Kenshiro Kasumi from Fist of the Blue Sky. He says it in Chinese, "Ni yi jin su le!"
 * Kasumi's actual catchphrase in Blue Sky is actually "If you got a problem with Hokuto, tell it to me!" or some variation of it.
 * From Fullmetal Alchemist:
 * Alex Louis Armstrong's catchphrase: "This [.....] has been passed down through the Armstrong line for generations".
 * The catchphase itself appears to have been passed down through the family, as his sister uses it to describe her sword.
 * The family's flower lady does it too.
 * Gluttony's catchpphrase: "Tabete ii?" (translated as "Can I eat it?")
 * Izumi Curtis' catchphrase: "I'm just a housewife".
 * Edward Elric's Berserk Button: WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORT?!
 * "Fuzakenna!"
 * Nii-san! (brother) is practically Al's catchphrase. Count how many times he says it per episode.
 * Manga and 2th anime Sloth's catchphrase: Mendokusai (Translated as "How troublesome"), also acomppanied by the activity his is ordered to do but also used alone.
 * In the English Dub, Sloth usually says "Such a Pain."
 * Full Metal Panic! Sousuke Sagara says "Not a problem," often enough for it to be his Catch Phrase.
 * You were sayin'?
 * Futari wa Pretty Cure: Nagisa, who says an average of twice, maybe three times an episode, arienai ("That's impossible" or "That can't be"). Later, in Yes! Pretty Cure 5, Nagisa's pseudo-Expy Rin says "nano", a general exclamation, after every sentence, and Genki Girl Nozomi likes to say "kettei~" ("It's decided!") when she plans something, as well as "mite, mite, mite!", ("Watch it, watch it, watch it!"), to both the viewers at the next episode preview and someone she's trying to distract.
 * In Fresh Pretty Cure, all three four girls have a catchphrase.
 * More specifically:
 * Love: "Let's obtain happiness!"
 * Miki: "I'm perfect!"
 * Inori: "I believe!"
 * Setsuna: "I'll try with all my might!"
 * Heartcatch Pretty Cure has it a little different: instead there are limit phrases uttered by the Cures when they're at the limit of their patience. On the other hand, a more traditional catchphrase would be supporting character Nanami's "A smile is the best!"
 * GaoGaiGar, taken from the finishing of Goldion Hammer/Crusher: "HIKARI NI NAREEEE!!!" ("BECOME THE/TRANSFORM/BE REDUCED TO LIIIIGHT!!!!"). This one becomes so popular that it almost always become a staple object for GaoGaiGar parodies in other series, especially on characters voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama, Guy Shishioh's voice actor.
 * Guy also has "I'm the invincible/superhuman Cyborg Guy!" In FINAL, it becomes "I'm the superhuman Evoluder!"
 * In GetBackers, Ban usually ends his Evil Eye-induced illusions with "Just one minute." Once the victim looks around in shock, he adds, "Did you have a [nice] dream?"
 * They also have their slogan, "We get back what shouldn't be gone! The recovery service with the 100% success rate!"
 * And "The 'S' in GetBackers means we're never alone!"
 * Gintama: Katsura has "'Zura' janai. Katsura da."
 * Meaning: "It's not Zura. It's Katsura." Spoken whenever another character (usually Gintoki) calls Katsura by his nickname of Zura (which, incidentally, also means "wig"). Katsura also uses variations of this phrase at different times in the series.
 * Girls Bravo's Kirie says "______ in Hell!" before suplexing or punching someone that's pissed her off. The victim of the attack is usually Fukuyama for obvious reasons.
 * Golden Boy has Kintaro repeating "Study!" all through the entire series.
 * From the Gundam multiverse:
 * Amuro Ray: "Gundam, launching!", with most later protagonists having variations on that theme.
 * "You hit me twice...! My father will never hit me!!"
 * Also, "The Nu Gundam's not just for show!!" "That's egotism!"
 * Char Aznable: "No one likes to admit the mistakes of their youth." Also "Blame this on the misfortune of your birth!"
 * Garma Zabi: "Char, you tricked me! CHAR!!"
 * Ramba Ral: This is no Zaku boy, No Zaku!
 * Johnny Ridden: "I'm the Crimson Lightning, dammit!"
 * Kamille Bidan: "Kamille, Zeta Gundam, launching." Also, "I'll fix you!!"
 * In the SD Gundam series, "Nya~!" ("Meow~!")
 * Elpeo Puru: "Purupurupurupurupuru!"
 * Kou Uraki: "GATOOOOOOOOO!!"
 * Anavel Gato: "Solomon, I HAVE RETURNED!"
 * Domon Kasshu: "This hand of mine is burning red! Its bright glow tells me to grasp victory!" originally, "This hand of mine glows with an awesome power. Its burning grip tells me to defeat you!"
 * Master Asia: "You stupid pupil!"
 * Heero Yuy: "I'll kill you," "Mission accepted," and "Mission complete."
 * Harry Ord: "UNIVEEEEEEEERSE!!"
 * Gym Ghingnham: "GEKOCHOU DE ARU!"
 * Mu la Flaga: "I'm the man who makes the impossible possible."
 * Setsuna F. Seiei: "I am Gundam!" "Exterminating targets!" "There is no God in this world!"
 * Lockon Stratos: "Sniping the target!" from Neil, "Targeted and firing!" from Lyle.
 * Lyle actually invokes this trope in that he asked Haro if Neil said anything prior to going into a fight and Haro responded with the second line, hence why Lyle always says that one. Quite strange in that the only time Neil used that version, he was out of Haro's earshot and was so Haro should've no way of knowing Neil said that.
 * In the second season, Lasse casually snarks that very same line when Lockon.
 * And Lockon inverts it for the final battle in the movie: "Firing without targeting!" Justified in that with the Beam Spam he promptly unleashed, it was impossible not to hit the ELS' Zerg Rush. As well as the fact that his Gundam Zabanya had two Haros doing the targeting.
 * Tieria Erde: "Banshi ni ataisuru! "
 * Allelujah Haptism: "MARIE!"
 * When you hear him scream "Sōdaro, ALLELUJAH?!" though... run like hell as Hallelujah is the one in control.
 * Allelujah actually says the phrase right back during their brief Split Personality Merge in the first season finale.
 * Yazan Gable "I'm gonna violate you!"
 * On the note of Gundam, Gundam SEED and SEED Destiny had a catch phrase spoken generally by Naturals, "For a blue and natural world", usually just before doing something horrible to Coordinators (or sometimes not even that specifically).
 * SD Gundam cast: "BOPPIN'!!!"
 * Harukanaru Toki no Naka de has a few, most notably Yasuaki's "mondai nai" ("no problem"); other characters tend to have some as well, for instance, Yorihisa often uses "moushiwake gozaimasen" and similar phrases (with the meaning of "I'm very sorry" said in an incredibly formal way).
 * Hellsing:
 * "SAACHI ANDO DESUTOROI!" / "SEARCH AND DESTROY!"
 * "Yesu, mai masuta." / "Yes, my master."
 * Say it with me, everyone: "AAAAAMEEEEEEENNNNN!!!!!
 * Hentai Kamen 's Once an Episode "Justice/Judgement!"
 * Hidan no Aria: Aria has "I'll blast a hole in you!".
 * Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: "Nipaa~"
 * I'm Taking Her Home with Me: "Hauu! Omochikaeri!!"
 * USO DA!
 * Ironically she only uses that less then four times.
 * Gomen nasai gomen nasai gomen nasai gomen nasai gomen nasai gomen nasai gomen nasai...
 * From Inuyasha:
 * Kagome: "Osuwari!" / "Sit, boy!"
 * Miroku asks every lovely woman he meets: "Will you please bear my child?"
 * Hell Girl: Once an Episode, Enma Ai sends someone to Hell with an awesome speech that ends with her famous Catch Phrase: "Ippen, shinde miru?" This literally means something like "Want to try dying once?", but most subs use the more natural "Would you like to see what death is like?", and the dub goes with "Perhaps... it is time to die?" Some of the show's funniest moments involve other characters saying the line.
 * Another of Ai's Once an Episode lines, "The rest is up to you" (spoken to a contractor after she's explained the rules), has reached the level of catchphrase.
 * JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:
 * The words "Muda da" (or "It's useless/futile") are common for villains or anti-heroes, but saying them very quickly and repeatedly (especially if punching someone) will evoke memories of Dio Brando, the primary villain of Part 3. Screaming WRYYYYYY and pronouncing "The World" as "Za Warudo" have also become Dio's catchphrases.
 * Also from JoJo's is Jotaro Kujo's battle cry, "ORAORAORAORA!" and general catchphrase "yare yare daze" (gimme a fucking break!) Grandpa Joseph's "OH. MY. GOOOOOD!" is actually spelled in English in the manga, and spoken in English in the anime/video game. Josuke tends to say the same thing every time somebody says something (anything, really) about his pompadour haircut: "WHAT DID YOU FUCKING SAY ABOUT MY HAIR?!"
 * In the Part 2, Joseph Joestar also showcases a clever catch phrase in battle consisting of "Your next line will be X", after which his opponent repeats that line before saying "What?!?" At which case, Joseph typically overcomes his opponent. However, the sequence was subverted once, in which the enemy ACDC managed to predict one of Joseph's lines.
 * Kaiji: "Zawa zawa...zawa zawa..."
 * Kaleido Star: Was there an episode in which Sora didn't say, "Sugoi" ("Amazing" in English)? If there was, the episode titles, which always contained the word, made up for it.
 * Kamichu!: Mitsue often laments: "Nothing interesting ever happens to me". Having a Shinto god for a friend and being possessed by the local godhood at regular intervals is obviously nothing to get excited about in the universe in which the story is set.
 * Don't forget she complains immediately after that she wishes she could get a boyfriend. It's clear what her idea of 'interesting' is.
 * Plenty in Kanon.
 * Ayu: "Uguu~!"
 * Nayuki: "You liar.", "Nyuu...", "Fight-o dayo"
 * Makoto: "Auu!"
 * Shiori: "I don't like people who say such things."
 * Mai would have one to round out the harem, but...
 * So, her best friend Sayuri takes up Catch Phrase duty instead: "A ha ha"
 * Katanagatari: At one point, Togame tells Shichika that if he is to be taken seriously as a swordsman he must have the equivalent of a catchprasse, Shichika picks the last one she suggests because he doesn't really care, his catchphrase is now "However by that point you might be torn to pieces."
 * Togame herself had Cheerio!
 * Katekyo Hitman Reborn has Gokudera's "Jyuudaime!" (meaning the Tenth, referring to Tsuna), Reborn's "Ciaossu", Tsuna's "______ with my dying will!!!!", Ryohei's "KYOKUGEN!!!!!!" or "______ TO THE EXTREME!!!", Hibari's "I'll bite you to death", Squalo's "VOOOIIII!!" - to name a few.
 * Don't forget Colonello, KORA!!
 * Kikyo has a tendency to say "Ho ho" in the anime.
 * And Xanxus's "Trash." Or "Scum."
 * There's also Haru's "hahi!" and Bel's "because I'm the prince".
 * Ran from Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran likes to display her modesty by claiming: "I am just a beautiful traveler".
 * She also tends to find things "utterly inexcusable".
 * Kiddy Grade: Lumiere has "A lady should be more elegant", and several permutations thereof.
 * There's also "Ta-daaa!", courtesy of Éclair.
 * Kidou Tenshi Angelic Layer gives each Deus her own entry phrase, but Misaki also has her "Naa!" ("Eeks!" in the English manga) exclamation... and let's not forget wiggly Icchan...
 * The Kindaichi Case Files: "In the name of my grandfather..." (Kindaichi declaring his intent to solve the case) and "The mystery is solved!" (when Kindaichi makes that Eureka Moment connecting all of the clues together).
 * Kirby of the Stars: Kirby himself has the word "Poyo" as his catch phrase.
 * Also, King Dedede's famous catchphrase? "UNFORGIVABLE!"
 * Koi Koi 7: Otome utters "incomprehensible" several times an episode. You can't really blame her.
 * Konjiki no Gash Bell: Gash Bell says "Unu" frequently (usually means "Yes!") and often ends sentences with "na(ru) no da" (isn't that so?); in the dub (Zatch Bell), Zatch has a signature laughter ("Hahaha HA, haha") that becomes his catchphrase.
 * There's also Victoream's "Very shit!"
 * And let's not forget Kafka Sunbeam's "Groovy!"
 * Lost Universe: Millie has "I'm the best ___ in the universe" and variations of.
 * Lucky Star: Konata Izumi often remarks that she/they "triggered a flag" or some variation thereof. She also keeps talking about "event costumes" or saying "It's an event."
 * Lupin III: Inspector Zenigata in the English dub had a tendency to yell "Crap, crap, crap, crap!"
 * Not to forget Zenigata's other, more universal, catchphrase: "Lupin, you're under arrest!"
 * And there's also Goemon's "Once again I have cut a worthless object."
 * Machine Robo: Revenge of The Chronos After hearing his long dramatic speeches, when the villain asks his name, Rom Stoll usually exclaims his catch phrase: "You don't deserve to know my name!"
 * And before starting the long dramatic speeches, he'd demand the villain to stop whatever they're doing by yelling "WAIT!!" ("MATTE!!")
 * Macross 7's Basara would like you and that mountain to "LISTEN TO MY SONG!"
 * And Sheryl Nome from Macross Frontier quickly took this for her own. Understandable, since Fire Bomber is considered "retro" in the year Macross Frontier takes place.
 * Don't forget that Ranka used this in front of the Zentran army in episode 12, too!
 * Actually, Ranka uses her own pre-concert catchphrase (and consistently): "Everyone, hold tight to the ends of the galaxy!" (or some similar translation, but she says the exact same phrase at least twice, and I think after watching all of Macross 7 I know what "Listen to my song!" sounds like in Japanese. Thanks, Basara.)
 * Sheryl has her own catchphrase. Though she often varies the exact wording, the jist of it is always the same. "Because I'm Sheryl. Sheryl Nome!"
 * Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha's Catch Phrase was originally intended to be her incantation, "Lyrical Magical," but that tapered off and was replaced with something that fits the beam spamming White Devil a lot more: "Zenryoku Zenkai!" ("Maximum Power!")
 * Which quickly mutated into "Zenryoku Zenkai!" ("Full Power! Destroy Everything!")
 * Nanoha's Raising Heart also has its own Surprisingly Good English Catch Phrase: "Standby, ready."
 * Fate's Bardiche uses "Get set." as its catchphrase.
 * Mahoromatic: "Ecchi na no wa ikenai to omoimasu!" ("I think dirty thoughts are bad!")
 * Here's a fun drinking game, take a shot everytime Minawa says "I'm sorry", chances are you won't make it past her second episode.
 * Mahou Sensei Negima. Paio II. "Boobies!"
 * In the second series Negima!?, Chamo's was "Animal Abuse!", in response to Asuna's poor treatment of him (and in this continuity, he does little to deserve it).
 * Mai-HiME: Early episodes had the resident church lady Yukariko occasionally giving sermons about "the passions of youth" whenever students were sent to the chapel after getting into trouble. Eventually, these speeches got stuck into the head of stoic kendo captain Masashi Takeda, much to his displeasure (since he was sent to the chapel as punishment for the Panty Thief incident in episode 4).
 * Also, instead of referring to the lead character by name, aloof White-Haired Pretty Boy Nagi uses "Mai-HiME" when speaking solely about her.
 * Maji De Watashi Ni Koi Shinasai: Miyako's "... Shoumonai", roughly "There's no helping it." She gets rather happy when she hears Yamato use it.
 * Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro has Neuro saying "This mystery is already on the tip of my tongue" Once an Episode.
 * Martian Successor Nadesico: Ruri has "Baka bakka" - roughly, "I'm Surrounded by Idiots," translated simply as "Fools" in the subtitles, and funny every time. This just makes it all the more surprising when it actually gets a genuinely dramatic use midway through the series.
 * Akito's "I'm a cook dammit!'' also qualifies.
 * Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch: Sister Mimi likes to say "Hontou da yo ne?" ("That's true, isn't it?") after Sister Sheshe makes any statement.
 * "Love shower, pitch!", anyone?
 * Minami-ke: Chiaki Minami has a catch insult: "bakayarou" (it's a variant of "baka" and means the same thing, namely "idiot"). Her sister Kana is the most frequent target, but Chiaki's been known to direct it at everything from classmates to inanimate objects.
 * Haruka also tends to find things "fine every once in a while."
 * Moetan: "Don't mind the minor details" returns all throughout, delivered by several characters.
 * The maid Ruriko did a nice little Shout-Out to Kanon when she listed all their catch phrases as things she didn't want to hear Sumi say.
 * The infamous Naikaku Kenryoku Hanzai Kyosei Torishimarikan Zaizen Jotaro's phrase is "DA BOMB!" Unlike others on this page, he is fond of saying it for no good reason, at inappropriate times, in non-sequitur fashion. The writers didn't intentionally make him over-the-top: they honestly thought that Americans can use catch phrases for anything.
 * "If my husband finds out about this affair, he'll kill you!" "DA BOMB!"
 * Naruto has several:
 * Shikamaru has "What a drag." ("Mendokuse" ("How troublesome") in the Japanese.) He can also substitute "pain" for "drag" to give it some variety. He also like to say "This is Bad".
 * Sakura has "shannaro!", or "Cha!" in the dub.
 * She also had "Sasuke-kun" as a catchphrase until about the end of the Chunnin exam arc.
 * Don't forget Guy and Lee's "Youthful Moments"
 * Deidara's "[Oira no] Geijutsu wa bakuhatsu da!" or "[My] Art is an explosion!".
 * The titular character alone has quite a few.
 * There is of course, the ubiquitous Dattebayo ("Believe it!").
 * He also had "I want to become Hokage" for most of Part 1. This was lampshaded by Sakura, when she said, "Naruto keeps saying Hokage Hokage like an idiot."
 * Closely connected with the above is his other catchphrase, "I will make everyone recognise me." or equivalent.
 * Then there is "I will never give up," and "This is my ninja way."
 * In Part 2, all the above have given way to his new catchphrase, "I will definitely bring Sasuke back."
 * Also Kage Bunshin no Justu/Rasengan
 * Throughout the whole of Part 1 and for a large portion of Part 2, Hinata's catchphrase was "Naruto-kun". She has said it so many times, it was lampshaded in one of the omakes.
 * This is Defied by
 * Pain: "I will deliver judgment."
 * Neon Genesis Evangelion: Shinji and Asuka have catchphrases that are famous enough to be parodied in other works.
 * Shinji's "I mustn't run away". In the original Japanese it's "nigechatta dame da" (more literally, "to run away is no good"). Has become a famous enough phrase to be used in a Transformers: Beast Wars kids manga (aimed several years lower than Eva). It was also parodied when his English voice actor recorded a commentary track about the Gainax Ending:

"Brook: I can't help but have an eye for the pretty ones!! But being a skeleton, I haven't got any (eyes that is)!! YOHOHOHOHO!! Skull joke!"
 * Asuka has two: "what are you, stupid?" A pretty direct translation of "Anta baka?!" though the translation misses a bit of nuance (it's simultaneously intimate and insulting). And "This sucks!" for "Saite!" (the lowest).
 * Later on, she exchanges the former to "URUSAI!!!" (shut up) as she descends into depression.
 * Maya exclaims "It's no good!" ("Dame desu!") often enough to be her catchphrase.
 * Mari has a habit of saying "Nyaa" (the Japanese equivalent of "meow") at totally random moments. She also appears to remark "ii nioi" (good smell) whenever she catches the blood-like scent of LCL.
 * Ninja Nonsense has a couple of weird ones. Shinobu likes to say "My feelings are always swirling!", and Onsokumaru yells "GABORA" a lot, probably making an Ultraman reference. The dub hilariously changes this to "Banzai!"—which is still Japanese, just less obscure.
 * Nodame Cantabile- "GYABON!" and "MUKYA!" from Megumi.
 * Ojamajo Doremi: Doremi Harukaze says, "I'm the unluckiest pretty girl in the whole world."
 * Onegai My Melody: My Melody says "Onegai!" when she wants something she Melody Marked to save the day. Quite a Title Drop, to tell the truth.
 * Baku says "Zona" at the end of his sentences.
 * While One Piece generally forgoes catchphrases in favor of unique types of laughter, a few gems among the cast are Sanji (Mellorine!), Franky (SUPAAAAAA!), and Brook, who routinely makes bad jokes about his status as a skeleton.

"Luffy: I'm gonna be the Pirate King!!!"
 * And then there's Brook's "May I see your panties?" which he says to nearly every girl he meets.
 * "If you were to go on a trip, where would you like to go?" It's in your best interest to start running when you hear that one, though that still might not be enough to save you.
 * And of course:

"Gedatsu: How/So careless!"
 * A rather eccentric Skypiea arc character has one.

"Misty: That was great to do the whole thing!
 * Pani Poni Dash!: Along with VerbalTics, has
 * Rokugou: "...of the year", in English, often used strangely. ("I'm depressed of the year.")
 * Becky: "I'm a teacher! I'm a teacher, you idiots!"
 * Suzune: "CHOP!"
 * Yankee: "...dot com"
 * And the most frequent of all, Himeko's Verbal Tic: "Maho!" The second OP has the whole cast say it.
 * Please Teacher: Mizuho says "Saiyu sen jiko yo!" ("It's top priority!")
 * The perennial Pokémon anime villains, the Team Rocket trio, are a Catch Phrase Spouting Trio. There is is a Lampshade Hanging in an early episode where Ash asks why they always insist on saying "that dumb stuff." They give no straight answer.
 * In one episode the heroes dress up as the trio and go through the motto sequence, then conclude that they most likely do it for fun.

Ash: Now I know why they like saying that dumb stuff so much, it's fun!"

"Syrus: Aw, man!
 * How could anyone forget "We're blasting off again!" ("Yana kanji!" in Japanese)? In recent Japanese episodes, they have started saying "Ii kanji!".
 * Also in this series, whenever Ash catches a Pokémon he'll always say "Yeah! I caught _______!" ("_______, getto da ze!" in the Japanese version). Pikachu always follows suit with a "Pi-Pikachu!", which is lampshaded on Starly's capture as it isn't there.
 * Misty is the first one other than Ash to go through the routine when she catches her Horsea, and Ash complains about copying his pose. In the Orange Islands, Ash gave Tracey lessons on how to do it after Tracey caught Scyther.
 * Dawn frequently says "Daijoubu!" ("No need to worry!" in the dub). Half the time, this is played for irony—her mom has said that it's usually when she worries the most.
 * At the end of the next episode previews, the character doing it says "Minna no Pokémon, getto da ze!" or a slight variation. Even Pikachu has gotten in on the act.
 * In the Japanese version there's also May's "Kamo," which is a hint of her nervousness and inexperience as a coordinator.
 * Meowth uses "nya" at the end of his sentences in Japanese. The literal equivalent being "meow," the dub toyed with this in a few early episodes but ultimately abandoned it.
 * Kotone, the female playable character from HeartGold/SoulSilver, has a speech quirk in the Japanese version of the anime in which she frequently asks rhetorical questions that end in "kotto ne?" meaning "right?" which is a pun on her name.
 * Ash shouts "________, I CHOOSE YOU!" before he sends out a Pokemon.
 * As the anime has progressed, almost everyone has now done their own. Dawn would shout "Spotlight!" ("Charm up!" in Japanese), Paul would say "Stand by for battle!" ("Batoru standbai!"), and May would say "Take the stage!" ("Stage on!")
 * Even some of the attacks seem to turn into catch phrases. ", use your Vine Whip!" Not to mention the infamous "Thunderbolt!"
 * "Thunderbolt" is interesting, as the consistent use of it as a generic electrical attack makes the occasional uses of "Thundershock" (weaker in the games) and "Thunder" (stronger) stick out for the viewer.
 * One of the Pokemon contest judges, Mr. Sukizo, has a catchphrase that is truly...remarkable!
 * In the English dub, Paul's classic, "Pathetic!"
 * Prince of Tennis:
 * Echizen Ryoma: "Mada mada dane" ("You still have lots more to work on")
 * Actually, in the anime he says it in English once, and it was "No, not yet. You still have a long way to go."
 * Kawamura Takashi: "BUUUUURRRRNNNNIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!"
 * Shishido Ryoh: "Gekidasa daze" (translated as "Super lame")
 * Sengoku Kiyosumi: "Lucky!"
 * Atobe Keigo: "Ore-sama no bigi ni yoi na!" (More or less "Be awed by my prowess")
 * Shiraishi Kuranosuke: "Ecstasy!" (pronounced "ekusutashiii", which is frankly part of its charm)
 * Kabaji Munehiro: "Usu" (in response to whatever Atobe says)
 * Sanada Genichirou: "Tarundoru"
 * Tezuka Kunimitsu: "Yuudan sezu ni ikou." or "Don't let your guard down."
 * Momoshiro Takeshi: "DON..." (The onomotopoeia for a large impact, which he uses when he lands after a Dunk Smash)
 * Kamio Akira: "Rizumu ainori ze!" or "I'm riding the rhythm!"
 * Kikumaru Eiji: "Zannen munen mata raishuu" translates to "Too bad, no regrets, see you next week." and "Hoi Hoi" whatever that means
 * FUSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUU
 * Kirihara Akaya: I'll crush you
 * Nio Masaharu: Puri..
 * Inui Saddaharu: Illogical...
 * Mukahi Gakuto: Motto Tonde Miso (try to jump more) and Uwe ni a uwe ga iru (There's always someone better than you)
 * Hiyoshi Wakashi: Gekokujou (the lower rank takes the place of the higher)
 * Horio: ...two years of tennis experience
 * Princess Tutu LOVES these...
 * Autor: "Would you please be quiet?!" (Later parodied by having Fakir say this to Autor.)
 * Fakir: "Baka!" (Translated as "Moron" or "Idiot", depending on the translation/fan.)
 * Lilie: "Uso!" ("No way!" in the ADV dub, could also mean "You're lying!")
 * Ahiru/Duck: "Quack!"
 * Princess Tutu: "Please dance with me, [name]" while using the ballet mime of the same meaning. Also has "I am Princess Tutu! I dance to guide your heart!" in the manga.
 * Edel: "May those who follow fate be granted happiness. May those who defy it be granted glory."
 * Uzura: "Lovey-dovey." Also finishes most of her sentences with "-zura".
 * Mytho: "I don't know" and "not really" in the first season. in the second.
 * Professor Cat: "You have to __________, or I WILL HAVE YOU MARRY MEEEEE!"
 * Drosselmeyer: "All those who love stories come, gather 'round!"
 * Femio: "Oh, heaven! Please pour judgement upon... THIS SINNER!"
 * Puella Magi Madoka Magica:
 * Kyubey: "Make a contract with me!"
 * Homura Akemi: "That won't be necessary."
 * Ranma ½: Kasumi Tendo's catchphrase "Oh my" ("ara" in the original) became permanently enshrined in the english-speaking fandom (just try to find a Ranma Fanfic,any Ranma Fanfic, without it) but her little sister Akane's equally characteristic "honestly" ("mou") did not. Akane's habitual "Ranma no baka" could be considered a catchphrase in the original though it's variously translated as "Ranma you idiot" or "Ranma you jerk" in the dub.
 * Similarly, Ryoga's "Ranma, prepare to die!" (spoken only two or three times in the whole anime, possibly only once in the manga- and the first instance was his initial surprise attack against Ranma) and also "Because of you, Ranma/Saotome, I've seen hell!", which (again) only happened once or twice in the canon.
 * There's also a few phrases that get tossed around very frequently during battles. Most notable are "An opening!" and "The final blow!" This is done by quite a few characters (read: almost every single fighter).
 * Ranma also uses the word "kawaikunee" against Akane a lot, which translate to "you're so uncute." In fact, Akane's "Ranma no baka" and Ranma's "kawaikunee" is the whole basis and the title of their image songs.
 * Rosario to Vampire: (Evil) Moka seems to like shouting out "Know your place!" before kicking an enemy half to death. Incidently, the other characters steal this line as a form of parody.
 * Kapuchuu~
 * Ling-Ling has "Because I am already dead!"
 * Played for comedy, no less.
 * Rozen Maiden, Suiseiseki,  DESU .
 * Her Shugo Chara Expy by the same mangaka, Suu, does have the same tic, along with "Leave it to Suu!" Additinally, every Shugo Chara got a "magical" catchphrase: "Hop, Step, Jump!" for Ran, "Drew, Draw, Drawn!" for Miki, and "Chips, Syrup, Whipcream!" for Suu. Amu herself also has a catchphrase: "That's not my character!"
 * "Who do you think I am? I'm Saeki Nobuko!"
 * Rurouni Kenshin: Kenshin Himura consistently says "de gozaru" (an archaic sentence ender in Japanese, loosely translated as "that it is") and also has a tendency to say "oro?" in the same fashion as one would say "huh?" in English.
 * Not to mention the fact that he (nearly) always refers to himself as "this one" instead of "me" or "I."
 * Only in Viz' translation of the manga. In the English dub of the anime, while Kenshin does refer to himself in the first person, he tends to add "That I am" or "That I do".
 * The Japanese version of that is "sessha". When in Battousai mode, he uses "ore" instead.
 * Hajime Saitou tends to repeat a lot the series' made up Shinsengumi motto, "Aku. Soku. Zan." ("Slay evil immediately").
 * Sailor Moon has a few. When Sailor Moon does her little dance, she punctuates it with either "In the Name of the Moon, I will punish you!" (always in the Japanese version) or "I will right wrongs and triumph over evil, and that means you!" The other Soldiers had their own catchphrases, albeit not quite as, ahem, catchy. Another phrase from Sailor Moon was used for the next episode previews — Tsuki no hikari wa ai no MESSAGE, or "The moonlight is the message of love" (these segments were cut out of the American DVD release, but you can see them in Sailor Stars which never got licensed and was only available in fan translations).
 * In Sakigake! Otokojuku (Charge! Men's Cram School), the extremely Badass principal of the aforementioned school had a habit of yelling "WASHI WA OTOKOJUKU JUKUCHOU, EDAJIMA HEIHACHI DE ARRRRRUU!("I AM THE PRINCIPAL OF THE MEN'S CRAM SCHOOL, HEIHACHI EDAJIMA!") at just about any given opportunity. One particular episode shows him making a morning announcement to his students that consists of this Catch Phrase, followed by "That is all".
 * Here is a video showcasing this Catch Phrase in action. Multiple times. With increasing levels of Bad Assery.
 * Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei: "I'm in despair! The overuse of Catch Phrases in our modern society has left me in despair!"
 * "What if I had died?!"
 * "I'll sue!"
 * "That annoys me."
 * "Don't open it."
 * "Don't say normal!"
 * "There's no way something I've only seen in the news could actually happen!"
 * "You were here?" "The whole time."
 * School Rumble Tenma's "Doowah!".
 * Buster Keel
 * "Funky!"
 * "Bingo!"
 * Seto no Hanayome: "...would tarnish the reputation of the Seto mermen!"
 * Written as chivalry (nin kyo), pronounced as mermaid (nin gyo)!
 * You want Mawari to teach you the rules of this trope?
 * Shakugan no Shana: Thanks to Rie Kugimiya, "Urusai, urusai, urusai!" can now be seen and heard in identical fashions in Zero no Tsukaima, Hayate the Combat Butler, and Toradora!.
 * And now Hidan no Aria
 * Shinryaku! Ika Musume:
 * ~de geso!
 * Sketchbook Sora often utters "uh huh" as an affirmation, always in exactly the same tone. Although it is technically perhaps not a real phrase, it does underline her shy and quiet character very well.
 * In Slam Dunk, there are some as well
 * Rukawa's "Do'ahou" or "You moron"
 * Then again, whenever he comments on someone's actions, most of the time it's 'stupid' or some variation thereof.
 * Sakuragi's "Temee kitsune!" or "Shut up, fox face!"
 * Also his "Ore wa tensai!" or "I'm a genius!"
 * Akagi's "You idiots" for when Rukawa and Sakuragi get into a fight.
 * Kogure's "Yare yare" for when they get into a fight.
 * The Rukawa Shinitai's "Rukawa, Rukawa, L O V E Rukawa!"
 * Hikoichi Aida has a tendency to shout "Unbelievable!" in Gratuitous English whenever something exciting happens.
 * Slayers: Xellos Metallum has his catch phrase, "Sore wa himitsu desu" ("That... is a secret"), with which he tends to answer nearly every important question asked of him, and several unimportant ones. He takes a great deal of glee in driving those around him to frothing rage with the frustration this causes.
 * Soul Eater: Black*Star has his "YA-HOO!" whenever he's about to do anything. Maka often says, "I'll take your soul!" or something similar.
 * "MAKA CHOP!!"
 * Also Crona's "I don't know how to deal with _____" and "My blood is black".
 * Stein's "I'll dissect you."
 * Eruka's "Gekko"
 * Sid's "That's the kind of man I was". The list goes on . ..
 * THIS TROPE BEGAN IN THE 12TH CENTURY!!
 * BAKA!
 * Soul's "cool" or "not cool"
 * Kid's "It disgusts me" or "SYMMETRY!!!!!" "kicchiri kacchiri"
 * Spirit: "MAKAAAA!!"
 * Free: "I'm immortal!"
 * Black Star again: "I AM THE MAN WHO WILL SURPASS GOD!"
 * In Speed Grapher, Ginza's favorite choice of words while laying down a smackdown are, "Self Defense!" or "I can self defense you too!"
 * Spice and Wolf: Holo has one depending on what language you're watching it in. "Tawake!" for Japanese and "I am Holo the Wise Wolf" for English.
 * Spider Riders has the infamous "Never Give Up!" line in the original and dub. The backup catchphrase in the Japanese version, "It's Alright" was turned to the slightly cheesier "Arachna Power" in the dub.
 * Steel Angel Kurumi: Kurumi's exclamation "Kyuuuin!" in the original Japanese dialogue is a meaningless sound that sits squarely on the line between Catch Phrases and Verbal Tics.
 * Steins;Gate: Mayuri's greeting, "Tuturu~"
 * Super Atragon: With No Indoor Voice, Captain Hayate loves to yell, "Undersea-battleship Ra, ENGAGE!"
 * Suzumiya Haruhi: Mikuru loves saying "That's classified (information)".
 * The novels actually imply that she poseses a mental block that prevents her ever revealing sensitive information, replacing whatever it was she was trying to say with "Classified Information." When this mindblock is briefly disabled in Book Seven, she actually expresses surprise that she is capable of speaking freely.
 * It's made more obvious in the anime's second season: "I tried to use classified information to classified information, but all I got was classified information..."
 * However, when Kyon asks her for her age, she replies "Classified Information" with a mischievous smile on her face. Whether that bit of information was truly "classified" is left to the watcher.
 * Kyon himself has one: "Yare yare" (Oh boy). And, of course, some people like to classify Yuki's "sou" (yes) as a catch phrase.
 * Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM/WE ARE?!"
 * Surprisingly, the original Japanese phrase means the same thing, though it's still more disrespectful than in English. In a case of Lucky Translation, the English phrase matched the lip movements closely enough to be used in the dub.
 * Parodied once as Kamina's called attack: "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM KICK!"
 * Variants on this phrase crop up throughout the series, as when Viral asks Lordgenome, "Who are these people, anyway?", or when Nia asks one of the Four Generals "Are you aware of who I am?!"
 * Simon actually lampshades it in the final battle of The Movie: "I'll say it as many times as I have to! [cue catchphase yelled by the entire Badass Crew]"
 * "BELIEVE IN ME! WHO BELIEVES IN YOU!" "Believe in you, who believes in yourself."
 * Whatever Kamina's third catchphrase is has been translated so many different ways. The fan translation you'll see around here most (because it's a Trope Namer) is "Go Beyond the Impossible and kick reason to the curb!". An online sub of the first DVD by ADV Films (who would later lose the license) hilarious changed it to "We stick to our crazy guns and kick logic out the door!" (especially funny since it was shown that Kamina didn't know what a gun was). The dub that actually came out has "Kick logic out, and do the impossible!" and the subs for the DVDs that did come out have "Reject common sense to make the impossible possible!"
 * "Your/My drill is the one that will pierce the heavens!"
 * In the second movie: "Ore no... doriru wa... ORE NO... TAMASHĪ DAAAAAAAA!!!" Simon actually whispers this line in the series, just after.
 * "That's the way Team Dai-Gurren rolls."
 * In Japanese, literally: "(Statement of a course of action or attitude, usually the "Go beyond the impossible" line above, but also things like "We'll pierce through anything in our way")! That's our (Dai) Gurren-dan!" The official translation (above) captures the meaning pretty well.
 * To Aru Majutsu no Index: Touma has "Fukou da..." and variations of "I will destroy that messed up illusion of yours!"
 * Komoe-sensei would like Kamijyo-kun to know he must take remedial lessons because he's stupid, desu~!
 * Tokyo Mew Mew: In the American dub, whenever they change into their half animal forms, they say "Mew mew style, Mew mew grace, Mew Mew power in your face".
 * In the original, Ichigo says, "For the future of the world, I am at your service nya!"
 * Trigun: Vash the Stampede has "This land is made of LOVE AND PEACE!"
 * Umineko no Naku Koro ni: Battler and Ange share "It's useless. It's all useless!". Eva-Beatrice says variations on "Why don't you just roll over and die!". Gaap also has one, but it only appears in the original visual novel. "But only if he's hot!" In addition, Maria has a few different distinctive Verbal Tics that would count if they weren't covered by another trope.
 * Doesn't Maria have "Exi-sts! Beatrice exists!" as well? She says it a lot...
 * "It's useless. It's all useless!" Seems to be a Catch Phrase among the Ushiromiya family as a whole. Kinzo and Jessica say it a few times, among others.
 * Urusei Yatsura has quite a few of these, but the most famous has to be Lum's "Darling, you IDIOT!" Then the hurting starts...
 * Weiss Kreuz: Persia ends every mission briefing with, "White hunters of the night, deny these dark beasts their tomorrows."
 * Although Western audiences see less of her since she's mostly All There in the Manual, Crashers' handler Queen has one of her own: "Crashers is always awaiting your orders. Checkmate."
 * The World Only God Knows: Keima Katsuragi has "I can already see the ending!" or some variation thereof when he figures out the last push needed to capture a girl. His saying this means that whatever arc the story is currently in is nearly finished.
 * Worst: Hana Tsukishima is undefeated in fights where he offers his trademark "No hard feelings" beforehand.
 * Yakitate!! Japan: Kawachi's "Nanyate!" and the managers "Nandato!"
 * Yu-Gi-Oh!! had some catchphrases of its own, most notably the dub's "Not so fast, Kaiba!" and the original's "Ore no TURN!" (It's my turn!).
 * And the spinoff Yu-Gi-Oh! GX had some atrocious catchphrases, mostly coming out of the mouth of hero Jaden. "Get your game on!", "I'll throw down a facedown" and "That's game" are the ones he's known for in the dub, while in the original he says "Gotcha! That was a fun duel".
 * The use of catchphrases is actually lampshaded in one English dubbed episode:

Bastion: Great Scott!

Hassleberry: Sam Hill!

Alexis: Why don't I have a catchphrase?"


 * "That's game" is actually relatively widespread in Real Life card game communities, but is usually delivered by the losing player to indicate a concession.
 * Cronos and Napoleon have their own Verbal Tics in the Japanese version, "na no ne? (is it not so?)" and "de aru (isn't it)" respectively.
 * Don't forget Jun Manjoume's "Ichi, juu, hyaku, sen, Manjoume Thunder!", a complicated Japanese pun that somewhat understandably was dumbed down to "Chazz it up" in the dub (it still sucks, though).
 * The actual joke, for those curious: The "Man" in Manjoume is how they say 'Ten Thousand' in Japan. The lead up phrases are actually numbers, so that, translated, it would read "One! Ten! Hundred! Thousand! Manjoume Thunder!"
 * The dub for Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's is attempting to give Yusei the Catch Phrase "Let's rev it up"; time will tell if it catches on.
 * The original's catchphrase is a phrase shouted at the beginning of every duel involving motorcycles. "Riding Duel, Acceleration!" This is also generally used in previews to mark when a specific episode will be Badass. Most often shouted by Yuusei, the series' protagonist.
 * The MC also has one; EVERYBODY LISTEN!!!
 * Pretty much every time a monster in Synchro Summoned, the duelist is guaranteed to recite a two or three line catchphrase as they appear. The catchphrase is subtly different for each of them if the player uses more than one trademark Synchro, but they all sound the same after a while.
 * Yu-Gi-Oh ZEXAL: "I'm feeling the flow!". In Japanese, "Kattobingu daze, ore!!"

== Western Animation
 * "I am Moana of Motunui. You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the Heart of Te Fiti."
 * Adventure Time: "Algebraic!" "Mathematical!" "What time is it?" "ADVENTURE TIME!" (And sometimes some other "___ TIME".)

 * Animaniacs was positively rife with catchphrases.

 * "We are the Warner brothers!" "And the Warner sister too!"
 * Brain has "The same thing we do every night Pinky..." in response to being asked what they should do (try to Take Over the World).
 * The Mindy and Buttons shorts have "Silly puppy" and "Okay, I love you, buh-bye!"
 * One episode revolving around Wakko's unsuccessful attempt to create a new "gookie" (a funny face) ends with Yakko trying to think of a new catch phrase. "Yessir Bobboreenie-o" is among the unworthy attempts.
 * Avatar: The Last Airbender: "Appa! Yip yip!"
 * Spoofed, of course, in the Abridged Series: "Come on, Appa. 'Yip Yip' means 'Fly.' It's our catchphrase!"
 * Avatar State! Yip yip!
 * Sokka: "I am a fan of _____ (props, expensive atlases, secret tunnels)."
 * "Shopping!"
 * Zuko: "How could you say that?!"
 * "I must capture the Avatar and regain my honor!" Lampshaded by Azula, and borrowed by Aang and Sokka.
 * "____ is my destiny!"
 * Toph: Twinkletoes! (for Aang) Sugar Queen! (for Katara) Snoozles! (for Sokka)
 * "When will you idiots get it through your heads? I'm blind. I can't see."
 * Iroh: A man needs his rest.
 * My cabbages!
 * Beavis and Butthead:

 * "I am cornholio! I need TP for my bunghole." - Beavis
 * Their trademark snickering
 * "Uh, hey baby!" and "Dammit, Beavis!"- Butthead
 * The Battletoads cartoon pilot was clearly trying to establish "'Toads rule!" as an ensemble catchphrase similar to "Turtle power!"
 * Betty Boop: "Boop-boop-a-doop"
 * Biker Mice From Mars has "Ride Free, Citizens" (all three of the Biker Mice) "Aowwww!"(Vinnie), "Like my grey furred momma always said.." (Modo), "Greasepit, my dear boy" and "Karbunkle!" (Limburger).
 * "Let's rock.. and ride!"
 * From the show of the same name: "BIIIIIIIIRD-MAN!"
 * Bob the Builder: "Can we fix it? Yes we can!"
 * The Boondocks: Has Grandad's signature line: "Yeaaah... boy!"
 * More of a catchphrase of the actor who voiced him: it was his catchphrase in Friday too.
 * Or Riley's use of "gay", that's lampshaded by Huey of all people.
 * Gin Rummy: "The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence"; "That was an unknown unknown!"
 * Ed Wucler III: "The f** k y'all looking at!"
 * "My name is Uncle Ruckus; no relation."
 * What?! No "You gotta say the whole damn thing! It's a Pimp named Slipback!"
 * Captain Planet and the Planeteers
 * "Let our powers combine...earth! fire! wind! water! heart!"
 * "Go Planet!"
 * "By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!"
 * "The power is yours!"
 * Celebrity Deathmatch has "Good fight, good night" for Johnny Gomez at the end of every show. Meanwhile, Mills Lane's catchphrase in regards to just about any moral or ethical quandry in the midst of a match, is "I'll allow it!"
 * Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers has a couple.
 * "Rescue Rangers Away!" as the heroes' battle cry.
 * Gadget Hackwrench, in addition to "Golly!" has two: "Should" and "No problems", to which the others almost always respond with by immediately seeking shelter.
 * Fans combined the two into "Should work with no problems", which actually works at least as well as the original phrases, especially in text.
 * There was an episode of Chowder that was actually called "The Catchphrase", where a celebrity chef takes Marzipan City by storm with his catchphrase "Wazzam!", and wins the admiration of Chowder from Mung Daal.

 * The Magic School Bus: Many of the characters had catchphrases:

 * Wanda:
 * "What'rewegonnadoWhat'rewegonnadoWhat'rewegonnadooo?" or "WhatamIgonnadoWhatamIgonnadoWhatamIgonnadooo?" Used in times of distress.

 * Janet: "Prove it!"

 * Ms. Frizzle: "Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!" Occasionally, another adjective is substituted for "messy".
 * Carlos didn't have a catchphrase, so he was a Phrase Catcher instead: "CARLOS!" was exclaimed by everyone else in unison after he delivers one of his horrible puns. (In the parents episode, "MR. RAMONE!" is used instead, due to sharing his son's habit)
 * Tim would often tell someone "We've been Frizzled."
 * He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: "By the power of Grayskull, I am HE-MAN!" (also used by She-Ra, with "I am SHE-RA" replacing He-man.)
 * Maryoku Yummy's catch phrase is "Wishy Wish,Wishy Woo, Another wish is coming true!"
 * Meet the Robinsons: Wilbur is fond of catch phrases, including "That is an excellent question," and "Wilbur Robinson never fails." Possibly even "I've got it under control," though he may only be trying to convince himself with that one.
 * 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.

 * 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.
 * Pinkie Pie has "Okie-dokie-lokie!".
 * Applejack's "What in tarnation?".
 * Rarity seems to have taken on G3's use of "Darling".
 * Ni Hao, Kai-Lan: "You make my heart feel super happy!"
 * Rintoo's "I love !" also counts.
 * Alfred Hedgehog has a tedency to say "This is serious mysterious!" in a situation.
 * From Phineas and Ferb:
 * Phineas: "I know what we're going to do today!" "Hey! Where's Perry?" "Oh there you are, Perry!"

 * Isabella: "Whatcha doin'?"

 * Major Monogram: "Good morning, Agent P!"
 * 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:

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

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


 * 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:

"(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!"


 * and:

"(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."


 * 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.
 * 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:

"Phong: This is bad.

Bob: Is it very bad?"


 * Recess:
 * T.J.: "Tender."
 * And, any use of the word "whomps" (meant to describe an unpleasant person or situation). This is also shared by the rest of the kids, but mainly by him and Vince, since they came up with the word.
 * The Ashleys: SCANDALOUS!
 * The Tylers: NOTORIOUS!
 * Gus: All my life [insert]
 * He also had "Sounds good to me", but that only lasted about five episodes
 * To a lesser extent, Spinelli had "I'll introduce him to my good friend, Madame Fist!", which only popped up now and again.
 * The show's famous Big No: "No...no...NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!"
 * Miss Finster had any variant of "You little hooligans!"
 * Miss Grotke with any use of outdated late `60s, `70s, and `80s slang. Like, far-OUT!
 * 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.
 * (saying his bedtime prayers) "...and geeve me a meellion dollars, and...oh yeah, heh...huge pectoral muscles!"

 * "Scooby-dooby-doo!" "Zoinks!" and "Jinkies!" in Scooby Doo
 * "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 Secret Show: "Victor, are you still alive?" "YES,I'm still alive!" "My name is changed daily." "Untested and highly dangerous!" ...And so on.
 * Silverhawks: "Moonstar of Limbo... give me, the might... the muscle... the MENACE... OF MON...STAAAAAARRRR!
 * 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

 * Duffman: "Duffman [does x]. Oh yeah!"
 * Bumblebee Man: "Ay ay, no es bueno."
 * Lenny: "Oh my eye, I'm not supposed to get .... in it."
 * Spoofed in the first episode of Sit Down, Shut Up, which introduced each character with a dosier that included their catch phrase. One character even had "I need a catch phrase!" as his catch phrase.
 * Snagglepuss had "Heavens to Murgatroid!" and "Exit...stage left/right!"
 * 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?!"

 * Timmy: "Timmah!" As well as meaningless grunts that often sound like, "Livin' a lie!"
 * 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:

 * In the 1973/74 season Wendy would often say "Let's go tell the Super Friends" when the kids found out something.
 * 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.
 * "Tennessee Tuxedo will not fail!"
 * Tex Avery cartoons in general
 * Signs with the line "Corny gag, isn't it?" and "Silly, isn't it?" are a running gag.
 * In The Thief and the Cobbler, Zig-Zag seems incapable of entering the throne room without saying "Have no fear! I, Zig-Zag, your Grand Vizier, am here!"
 * Thomas the Tank Engine:
 * Thomas: "Cinders and ashes!", "Bust my buffers!", and more recently, "Fizzling fireboxes!"
 * Gordon, especially in recent years: "Oh, the indignity!"
 * The big engines, especially in the earlier series:

 * Ferdinand, in Series 14: "That's right!"
 * Thundarr the Barbarian had several. "Demon dogs!", "Lords of Light!", and "Ariel, Ooklaa, ride!"
 * Thundercats:
 * Anybody who ever watched more than a few episodes will have Big Bad Mumm-Ra's transformation incantation burned into their mind for life. "ANCIENT SPIRITS OF EVIL!!!! TRANSFORM THIS DECAYED FORM!!! INTO MUMM-RA THE EVER-LIVING!!!"
 * Then there's minor-but-memorable villain Safari Joe, and his dependable "Safari Joe does it AGAIN!!"
 * The Hero Lion-O's Battle Cry/By the Power of Greyskull for his Sword of Omens "Thunder... Thunder... ThunderCats - Hoooooooooooooooooo!"
 * Lion-O's "Sword of Omens! Give me Sight Beyond Sight!
 * ThunderCats (2011) reuses all but Safari Joe's, and also gives us Lion-O's Once Per Episode phrase "Whiskers!" a mild curse he utters whenever he thinks This Is Gonna Suck.
 * The Tick: SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
 * Tom and Jerry
 * Tom's infamous painful yell
 * Jerry's gulp
 * Toy Story: "To infinity...AND BEYOND!
 * Transformers" Almost every version of Optimus Prime leads with the command Autobots, transform and roll out!
 * Animated gave Megatron his own airborne equivalent for the Decepticons:

"Megatron: Decepticons, transform and rise up!"


 * 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).

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

Megatron: Then they better stand out of my way!"


 * Both Optimus' and Megatron's Tech Spec mottos made their way to the TV Tropes page for Lawful Good and Lawful Evil.
 * 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).
 * Underdog "There's no need to fear! Underdog is here!"
 * 2 Stupid Dogs: Mr. Hollywood: "Ain't that cute? BUT IT'S WROOOOOONNNNNG!!!"
 * Subverted once when he says the first half of it then continues talking about what was being discussed earlier before finally turning to the screen and telling the viewer, "I'll bet you were expecting me to say 'but it's wrong.' weren't you?"
 * The eponymous characters in The Venture Brothers have, "Go Team Venture!"

 * "...'Kay."
 * " BOOM! Yummy!"
 * The Weekenders: Tino had "Later days!"
 * Wild Kratts has "To the creature rescue!" and "Free and in the wild."
 * The Wind in the Willows: Toad, upon announcing to the others the new fad he's got himself caught up in, would exclaim, "It's the only thing!" Mole stole it once. See Phrase Catcher for the others' response.
 * Winx Club: The 4Kids dub gave each girl a catch phrase on the bonus DVDs that came with the dolls. The phrases were never actually said in any version of the show.

 * Woody Woodpecker
 * His famous laugh
 * Word Girl: Wooooord UP!
 * Wow! Wow! Wubbzy is full of them. Widget says "That wasn't supposed to happen" and "no problemo!", Walden says "very interesting" and "yes, yes, yes!", Wubbzy says "wow, wow, wow!", and Daizy says "lavender lollipops" at least once an episode.
 * And don't forget all those random people who always say "That's [i]kooky![/i]
 * Xavier: Renegade Angel actually reuses sound clips of some of its catch phrases.
 * "Take that!"
 * "Taste the pain!"
 * "What doth life?"
 * "Oh, fritata!"
