“Elizabeth I’m coming to join you hunny!!”

What you talking about Willis ?
For repeat phrases, I’ll go with “dy-no-mite!”, but my favorite has to be the once-offered eulogy for “Chuckles the Clown”: “A little song, a little dance…a little seltzer down your pants. “
“as God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly”- Mr. Carlson
Goodnight John-Boy!

Fave 70s Sitcom Catchphrase: “Up your nose with a rubber hose!”
“Just one more thing…”

Love the blog, podcast and magazine.
Up your nose with a rubber hose is my favorite 70’s catchphrase!
“Dynooomite!!!” (JJ) or “Shazbot” Mork
Up yer nose wit a rubbah hose!!!
“Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.”
is my favourite 70s Sitcom catch phrase.
Bill Bixby as David Banner, The Incredible Hulk (1977+).
A bit less frequent than the more ubiquitous catchphrases, but “Signed, Epstein’s Mother” always cracked me up.
And now for something completely different.
“Hello…”
Mine as been “Keep on Truckin” Saw this on Tees and posters of the R Crumb drawings in shops along Hollywood Blvd as a kid. Finally got a shirt as an adult after all these years.
Hey, Hey, HEY! (Dwayne from What’s Happening)
It ahs got to be “Jane, you ignorant slut.” uttered by that mastermind of comedy Dan Ackroyd on Saturday Night Live. I have that clip in my YouTube favorites. Fingers crossed for the ROM prize 😉
“Don’t make me angry”
Dig you stuff Brian…
My favorite 1970’s sitcom catchphrase is “Up your nose with a rubber hose.”
“Hey, hey hey”
“Up your nose with a rubber hose!”
“Who loves ya, baby!” <3
My favorite 70’s catch phrase at the moment is “Stifle Yourself!”
“Stifle!”
Going out on a limb here: My favorite 70s sitcom catchphrase:
“Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!”
Brady Bunch is spanning the 60s-70s so not sure if this is coming in as a qualifier, but who doesn’t love saying this?
DY-NO-MITE!
Best 70″s phrase was Far Out which John Denver used every other sentence.
Kiss my grits.
Congratulations Brian and “Sit on it!” 🙂
Congrats on 15 years (!) doing what you live, and what we all love as well!
I grew up in the seventies, and one of my favourite things was watching Good Times with my parents…it was one of the few “night time” TV shows they’d let me watch. So, if you’re waiting for my favourite seventies sitcom catch phrase, you know what’s coming next…
“DYN-O-MIIIIITE!!!!!”
Dy-no-mite!
“Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry” David Banner, before his transformation into The Incredible Hulk.
Dynomite!!!!!!
DY-NO-MIIITE!
Don’t make me angry!
DYNO-MITE!
“Aaaaa!!”

‘dummy!’
YOWSAH YOWSAH YOWSAH ~ Happy Days.
“BY YOUR COMMAND.”
1970s Colombo speaks to Brian………“Oh, just one more thing.” “Your magazines are awesome!”
Meathead….dead from the neck up.
Whatchoo talkin’ ’bout, Willis?
Mine has already been mentioned…Kiss My Grits. It went through my school like poop through a goose. Though not from a sitcom, “Who Loves Ya, Baby” was the epitome of cool.
“AYYYYYYYYY!!!”
The plane! The plane!
(and congratulations!)
“Can you dig it?”
“Just one more thing…” Columbo is awesome.
Fred Sanford’s ” This is the big one!!
If I could post a picture of my vintage DY-NO-MITE! iron on I would.
I would go with Newhart’s “hello”, but it never really caught on as a catch phrase.
God’ll Get You Walter…
Kiss my grits.
“Always remember and never forget….”
Schneider, from “One Day at a Time”
“Oscar, Oscar, Oscar….”

“Elizabeth, I’m comin to join ya!” Fred Sanford
“That’s Not My Job” – Chico and the Man
“Watch it, sucka!” via Aunt Esther from Sanford and Son.

Congratulations on 15 years of groovy style!
“Yeahhh, yeah, yeah, yeah.”- Al
Oh, that’s a good one…
“You hear that, Elizabeth? I’m comin’ to join you, honey!”
My favourite one is “Nanoo, Nanoo” from Mork and Mindy.
Congratulations on 15 years!!!
I’m going with the classic Fozzie Bear “Waka Waka!” followed by an ear wiggle.
Gotta go with “Sit on It!”
CONGRATULATIONS ON 15 YEARS, BRIAN…and thank you for creating a place where like-minded people can share their childhood, thoughts and laughs. I’m very happy I stumbled upon your blog/site. HERE’S TO ANOTHER 15 YEARS!
PS – I would be thrilled with any of the prizes, but I’d be lying if I said that Latchhook Kit isn’t BOSS as hell!
“Dy-no-mite!”
“Elizabeth…I’m comin to join ya!” -Fred Sanford
“It’s the big one Elizabeth! I’m coming to join you honey!”
Not sure if it counts as a catch phrase but “This is Jim Rockford. At the tone, leave your name and message – I’ll get back to you.”
“Sit on it!”
God will get you for that Walter!
I’ve been reading this site pretty much since it started. Found it searching for the talking Ernie doll, if I remember correctly.
Anyway, my favorite catchprase from a 70s sitcom is probably “Kiss my grits!”
Does Mr. Roper’s constant mugging at the camera count as a catch phrase? I guess that’s more of a catch motion, so I’ll go with Blair Warner’s “I just had another one of my brilliant ideas” that she used in the early seasons of The Facts of Life (which is technically a 70s and an 80s show!)
Elizabeth! I’m coming to join ya!
Congrats. Mine is: Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.
Hello, I’m the Doctor. Would you like a Jelly Baby ?
NA-NU, NA-NU
While it’s not a sit-com, the first catch phrase that leapt to mind for me is from Battle of the Planets:
Big 10!
Though, in this case, it should probably be Big 15! Congratulations!!
Psychologist Sid Freeman from M*A*S*H*., “Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice. Pull down your pants and slide on the ice.”
“Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.”
“Hey Hey Hey” by ReRun in What’s Happening?
“Kiss my grits” came immediately to mind, though I must admit I don’t say it as often as I might these days.
“He’ll be back. They all come back.”
honorary props to Squiggy for making “hello” into a scene cleaver.
Congrats on 15 years, always enjoyed the blog and love the Youtube videos too.
Nanu, Nanu! – Mork & Mindy
First thing that comes to mind is, “Dyno-Miiiiiight!”
I’m coming to join ya!
Them Dukes!!!
Nanu- Nanu
“I’m Only Paranoid Because Everyone’s Against Me!” Frank Burns , M.A.S.H
“As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly…”
Personally, I think, “This is the doctor, Dr. Johnny Fever…” is a better catchphrase but Carlson’s is much better known!
Congratulations on a successful 15 years, Brian! Thanks for making us more Stallion! Here’s to another 15 years!
There’s gonna be trouble.
“Looooking gooood!”
Hey meathead
“I raised you, I’ll knock you out!”
“By the Lords of Kobol!”
I can’t believe it’s been 15 years of this glorious 70s fun — five more years than the decade had to do it!
The catchphrase that got the most mileage for me in real life: “Whatchoo talkin’ about, Willis?”
I don’t care what captain McIntyre said , I have never cared and at this point I don’t care twice as much as I never cared before!!!!
M.A.S.H Frank Burns
That look Mr. Furley makes when he hears Jack and Chrissy are in the kitchen making lasagna.
Easily my fav would be “Ayyyy!”

“Kiss my grits”
‘As god as my witness I thought turkeys could fly’
“Hey HEY hey!”
The key here is you said Sit-Com. Not Cop Drama, not Sketch Comedy or anything else. So that said the best and most memorable catchphrase of a 70s Sit-Com was:
“Dy-No-Mite!”
Jimmie Walker AKA J.J.
Good Times 1974-1979
“Dyn-O-Mite!” was so huge I think they had to say it in every show! LOL
As a child ‘kiss my grits’ was one that always stood out. Still does.
Watchoo talking about?! But I’m sure that is almost everyone’s first answer.
Carl Kolchak: If you want a job done right, you just have to foul it up yourself.
Whatcha talking ’bout Willis?
Wow, there are so many to choose from! I guess I’ll have to go with Fred Sanford’s “You big dummy!” Congratulations on 15 great years and I wish you many more! Thanks for the fun…
Shazbot!
Ayyyy!
“God’ll get you for that!”
It has to be “Sit On It” from Happy Days which I still use it to this very day! When Ritchie Cunningham would throw in the extra word to make
“Sit on it Bucko!!”
That’s pure gold!! Bucko!
“Bidibidibidi” – Twiki

azz@aol.com here, I live in Homosassa, Florida and I leave toxic homophobic messages on toy sites because I’ve really hit rock bottom. Seriously, this is what I did, I probably should seek help or grow the fuck up because doing something THIS cowardly is pretty weak. I’m also not very bright, I left a comment that a 7th grader would call lame. I use AOL because I am stuck in 2003. I create nothing.
Nanu nanu
You big dummy
