Well, it isn’t a sitcom, but I often say: Mr. McGee, don’t make me angry…
Homer Simpson: He did it because he’s stupid. That’s the only reason anybody does anything.
I’ve gotton a lot of mileage from that idea.
When something unfortunate happens to someone, like they stub their toe or burn their finger on a piece of toast:
“That’s a shame”
Also from Seinfeld:
“I’m definitely down for some rock climbing” (insert other fun activity)
I also say
“Crescent Fresh!!” from Sifl and Olly frequently
You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry!
I just used this one this morning!
There’s also “God’ll get you for that Arthur” from Maude
Appropriate and timely.
I just used it yesterday. I was drinking beer on my buddy’s porch and his puppy just would not behave.
“Screw you guys, I’m going home.” I can just about do Cartman’s voice.
“D’oh!” and “Eeexcellent” are such a part of my vocabulary that they didn’t occur to me as catchphrases until I read through this thread.
Hmm, others…
“Relaaaax, guy!” in Sadam Hussein’s voice from South Park.
“Good idea, bad idea,” and “Same thing we do every night, Pinky” from Animaniacs. I’ve also been known to randomly burst into “The Mr. Skullhead Show” song. “It’s the Mr. Skullhead Show! Starring him, Mr. Skullhead! That is the name of the show that he has, Mr. Skullhead!”
Wife and Spawn are at the high school’s modern setting of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” For reasons that I wish were obvious, I am not.
For reasons that I wish weren’t obvious but are, I’m singing the theme song from “Super Chicken.”

I use a lot of the Seinfeld ones, too. “SERENITY NOW!” and “I don’t wanna be a pirate!”
But, sadly, the one I use most often is from Home Improvement. “I don’t think so, Tim.”
(And then, if someone points out that their name isn’t Tim, I go into my “well if I don’t know your name I just call you Chief or Bub or ARE YOU FUCKIN’ WITH ME!!!???”
