OK, we all know “smarter than the average bear”, “exit…stage left”, “yabba-dabba-doo”, etc. But can you identify the characters known for these? Add your own at your pleasure.

1. “I’ll make mincemeat outta that mouse!”

2. “I’ll save you with my (blank) gun!”

3. “My wings are like a shield of steel!”

4. “Quite.”

5. “Roger Wilcox”

6. “What the heck!”

7. “That’s me, that’s me!”

1. Klondike Cat used to say he would make mincemeat out of the mouse he was chasing. (But for some reason I hear it also in Snagglepuss’ voice.)

It’s from Voltron. Keith in the Lion series, and the leader-whose-name-I-can’t-remember from the vehicle team finished their ‘form up’ instructions with that.

Keith:

Form feet and legs, form arms and body, and I’ll form the head. (This was strange, since Keith’s Black Lion was head and body.)

Vehicle Team:

Form feet and legs, form arms and torso, and I’ll form the head. (In this case, it works, as the leader was just the head.)

The flea guy. Did he even have a name? He would sing this and then see the dog, get all excited and then start singing,

“There’s a home around the corner, home around the corner, Home around the corner for ME!!”

God, now I have his voice in my head. And my voice. I will be mimicing this flea for the rest of the night.
