What's your favorite "Holy ___________, Batman!" line? (60s TV show)
I was just reading this thread about the 60s "Batman" TV show, and it made me think about all the times Robin said "Holy (insert word or phrase here), Batman!" There must have been a bunch of them during the show's run.
What's your favorite one? Please limit yourself to ones that Burt Ward actually said, rather than ones you WISH he'd said. Here's my favorite, for the sheer absurdity of it: "Holy priceless collection of Etruscan snoods, Batman!" |

No specific examples come to mind, but can we also include the 1977 animated "The New Adventures of Batman", in which Ward and Adam West reprise their roles?

Without Looking at the athelas's link:
When Batman and Robin are about to get broiled in the sun, Robin says: "Holy Oleo" and Catwoman responds: "I didn't know you could yodel". Off to see if it is in the link. Nope. Darn |

You left out a piece. Catwoman explains how the reflector that is about to fry the dynamic duo is coated in margerine. To which Robin exclaims "Holy Oleo !"

There was an episode where Robin fell off a building and Batman threw him a Batarang on a rope, saying:
"Robin! Catch this in your teeth!" Of course, Robin did and was rescued. He then said: "Holy molars, Batman! It's a good thing I brush my teeth!" Then, Batman said, with a completely straight face: "Yes, Robin. You owe your life... to dental hygiene." I think it took me at least 2 minutes to stop laughing at that line.

"Holy rusted metal, Batman!" Whoops, wrong Batman.
|

On the other hand, that WAS my favourite.
'There's rusted metal...and it's full of holes...' |

I love that show.
No examples come to mind at the moment, I'll have to get back to you... Holy amesia, Batman! |

Not necessarily my favorite, but a memoral one nonetheless was when Batman saved Catwoman and they had a tender moment. As the two walked away, Robin yelled "Holy mush."

I doubt they ever risked offending a religion in the show, but I've fantasized about the Dynamic Duo investigating thefts from the Vatican, and Robin finding a stolen statue of the Virgin:
"Holy Mary, Mother of God, Batman!" |

Or they bust up a Rastafarian gathering: "Holy Smoke!"

Or if Robin spotted Storm of the X-Men on a beach in Honolulu:
"Holy Halle haole!" |

I still have, somewhere (I think it's in the rag box now) an ancient T-shirt from the 80's with Robin on it with the one caption he never said -- "Holy shit, Batman!".

My favourite was always "Holy interplanetary yardstick!"

My favorite is "Holy contributing to the delinquency of minors".

My fake one is a scenerio where the Dynamic Duo are chasing the Joker through a warehouse, and he escapes by dumping a crateful of condoms on them- leading to the remark "Holy prophylactic Batman!"

Great ones, everybody!
"Holy mucilage" is a new one on me and takes second place, but nothing will replace "Holy priceless collection of Etruscan snoods" in my heart. |

"Holy shit, Batman!"
"Robin! Whatever possessed you to use such profanity?" (Cut to Robin standing in front of a huge steaming pile, with Circus Elephants in the background.) Oh wait, that never happened. |

Sorry, I have to do that one better.
(Batman and Robin walking through the woods) "Holy Shit, Batman!" "Heroes do not use profanity, Robin" (cut to a shot of Robin picking up his foot, with shit all over it. Then cut to a shot of the Pope running away.) "I guess the Pope really does defecate in the woods, Robin!" |

Robin actually did yell "Holy smoke!" in the episode "Smack in the Middle" when Batman blew a hole into the Riddler's hideout to rescue him.

Hermes on Futurama is obviously a decendant of Burt Ward.

Too bad there was never an opportunity to for Robin to say Holy Guacamole.

"Holy radioactive pussies Batman!"
I don't know if that made it into the actual episode. But Adam West likes to tell the story about what I assume was a Catwoman episode since it involves cat statues, and how everyone would crack up when Robin tried to say that line. |

I know he never said it on the show, but "Holy Underwear, Batman!" was always a favorite on my block when I was growing up.

The only one I remember was when the Dynamic Duo was about to get crushed by a giant rock.
"Holy mashed potatoes, Batman!" |

Batman: Robin, I just heard catwoman is pregnant.
Robin: Holy rubbers, Batman! Batman: Right again Robin. |
