    Didn't mean to kill the thread.:pac: Not so much his catchphrases, but Tommy Cooper's laugh always had me in stitches. Not like that, like this.

    Was renowned for being tight as ducks hole.

    Heard a story about him giving a taxi driver a tea bag once and saying 'Have a drink on me'

    even after 30 years on, it still brings a laugh.

    Does anything equal/top this one?

    Never found that in the slightest bit amusing.

    I quite honestly psych myself up for something difficult/ likely to fail by repeating "he who dares, wins!" in my head :pac:

    "So it's goodnight from me..."

    "...and it's goodnight from him"

    is the only catchphrase that ever struck me as actually being funny in itself.

    How can catchphrases be funny more than once anyway?

    "What you talkin' about Willis?" was funny once or twice in Different Strokes...then it just became overdone and contrived.

    The only repeated catchphrase that I ever found funny over and over was "I'll get my coat" from the Fast Show. The guy who said it delivered it with great skill and genuinely made himself look like a right awkward clown. He was brilliant.

    I think people are posting one-liners here, not catchphrases. Catchphrase is something a character delivers over and over. The Simpson's is full of them.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Just thinking the same.
    That show was replete with catchphrase awesomeness.

    "I found an original copy of the Bible whilst cleaning out the garage the other day, which was nice"
    And then they'd undermine it,
    "And so the police found the knife, with my bloody fingerprints on it, which was unfortunate "

    Favourites were Paula Fish and Scorchio! and Swiss Toni and Selling a car is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman
