Much as I love that movie, “that’s my name don’t wear it out” long predates 1985, we used to say it to each other all the time in elementary school in the early 80’s. . . . QUOTE] You can push that back to the 60’s.

The ones Yllaria couldn’t handle:
What’s My Line? (long-running TV panel show)
Bill Nye, one of the “men on the street” interviewed by Steve Allen in one or more of his 1950s-1960s TV shows.
From the Buster Brown Show and others, 1940’s-50’s

Actually, wasn’t that from the Andy Williams Show? It was a bear (Janos Prohaska, who also played the Horta in the Star Trek episode “The Devil in the Dark”) who constantly knocked on Andy’s door asking for cookies.
It was. One of my favourite lines is, “No cookies and milk for bears!” from the same skit.
No one EVER gets it.
Yllaria , “Hold the pickles” is a Burger King commercial, not McDonalds. “Two all-beef patties” is McDonalds. The “And they told friends” was a commercial for Breck shampoo.
I’m so old.
Louis Nye. You have him conflated with the Science Guy.

Airplane! is a take-off (har har) of Zero Hour! , made in 1957.
It contains the original “But that’s not important right now,” the doctor opening the door behind the pilots to say “Good luck” (but only once), “Why did I pick this week to quit smoking?” and others, as this mashup on YouTube illustrates only too well.
But when I saw it on TV for the first time a couple of months ago, I couldn’t stop laughing and was glad I made it past the boring first half.
Well, OK, most of it was boring.
“Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy!” reminded me of this clip:
Part of the infamous “BBC Christmas Tape” for internal consumption only.

You are correct, Sir. But…hmmm…have you ever seen them together?
We often use these 2 phrases in our household:
“Wha choo talkin’ `bout, Willis?”
Gary Coleman on Different Strokes
“I don’t think so, Tim”
Al Boreland on Home Improvement
Actually, the line “I’d buy that for a dollar!” is from the movie, Running Man . Richard Dawson is the gameshow host who uses that catchphrase. Never heard of Cyril Kornbluth.
Musicat:
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?
Be better with time stamps to the actual phrase. For instance, “Heavens to Murgatroid” is at 1:33.
And the infamous:
“What a wonderful smell you’ve discovered!”
Oh my god, running through that link, I just saw a comment running in Saturday Night Live.
One of the characters is a guy who always gets the story wrong. He comes on in the News segment. His line is “That ain’t the way I heard it.”

Seven-Up commercial (one of the best adverts ever):

I was introducing my three-year-old to the 1974 album Free to Be You and Me and found that most of it holds up well in 2013, musically and thematically, but there was a moment where Marlo Thomas, reading a story, quotes a lion: “FAR OUT!” – and that brought the scene right back to 1974.
I’ve been looking for references to 60’s/hippie catch phrases and yours is the first I found.
I’m curious if these are really passing away, or if they’re just too perfect to die:
– Out of sight
– Groovy
– Cool ( I know this from the 50’s and it has always been cool)
– Heavy
Variations that may have died in the 60’s or 70’s:
– Out of sequence
– Right arm
– Farm out
I can’t pin down the era precisely but I still have use occasionally for these:
– Fuck you in the heart
– Well, fuck me
I work with kids right out of college often… one didn’t know that there were words to the MA S*H theme, that the show was preceded by a movie, or that the movie was preceded by a book.
I gotta go with “Ohhhhh Rob!” as only Mary can say it.
Also the commercial that stuck with me, but heavens if I remember what it was advertising:
“Why so glum chum?” “I lost all my trick-or-treat candy.”
“Zoinks!” - Shaggy, Scooby-doo.
Also the youngsters I work with don’t find “Who’s On First?” funny?! ZOINKS!
One of the original catch phrases:
“What, never?” “Well, hardly ever.” - from H.M.S. Pinafore by Gilbert and Sullivan
My three kids still find it so hilarious they watch it on youtube constantly while ROTF.
You EEEE-DIOT!
Quick, man! Cling tenaciously to my buttocks!
YOU SICK LITTLE MONKEY!
No, Sir. I didn’t like it.
