I’ve been known to say that at work, as we’re finishing our shift. No one has a clue.
Heavens to Murgatroyd!
Well, far be it from me not to give Mr. Kornbluth credit, but I guess I never read the story that Robocop cribbed from?

I’d say you were my mom’s age (except that she should be dead by now). She uses these and more. So reliably, that whenever someone says the ‘trigger word’, we know an obscure old catchphrase will inevitably follow.
F’rinstance, she has a friend called Nonny by her grandchildren. Whenever the name is used, I whisper to my wife “3-2-1…” at which point my mom chimes in with “Hey, Nonny-Nonny and a Ha-Cha-Cha!”
Who was the perpetually depressed cartoon character who said “oh, wowzy wow”?
Dingbat!
Meathead!
Cling peaches in heavy syrup.
Stop! In the name of the law!
An ancient cliche even when posted in the MAD magazine as fading cliches back in the early 70’s.
23 skidoo!
“No shit, sherlock.”
“Way” to mean “yes.”
“Put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.”
“What’s up, doc?” (Are loony toons still playing on any channel?)
“Save the last dance for me.”
‘whatzup’ should be shot down.
I first heard this watching George Carlin in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. The exchange was
Bill or Ted: No way!
George: Yes, way!
“I can’t believe I ate the whole thing!” “You ate it, Ralph!”
“Mama mia, that’sa spicy meatball!”
“No matter what shape your stomach is in…”
“Plop, plop; fizz, fizz! Oh, what a relief it is!”

First ever Pop-Tarts commercial
“You’ve come a long way, baby (to get where you got to today)!”

*I can’t believe I actually remember the product that was being advertised in this one!
I have the Tippecanoo song on my ipod 
I have a lovely sign that gets put out with Chief Tammany and the words “Vote Early, Vote Often” for major elections. I used to alternate it with one of a headstone with “Death is no reason to stop voting” but it got vandalized.
I grew up with this great book of political cartoons and actually was familiar with political history in the US. I need to find it and have a good read through. Maybe I will scan it in and turn it into a PDF book to browse. It would be great for long airplane flights.
We need a new rule in this thread. All phrases must be accompanied by a link to a sound sample. What good is “Heavens to Murgatroid” without this, or “Smarter than the average bear” without this, or “Would you believe…” without this?
I’ll add one: It’s NOT NICE to fool Mother Nature!
“The Marching Morons,” the same story that Idiocracy is taken from.
“Ha-ha-ha-HA-ha!”
“I yam what I yam and that’s all that I yam.”
“Well, blow me down.”
“I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”
