Actually hoping somebody can identify this. I don’t remember the name of the movie.
I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS!
It’s a movie about kids who snow ski, and this line is from an evil-looking paperboy who chases around the main character and haunts him in his dreams.
“I want my TWO DOLLARS.”
From Better off Dead, one of the funniest 80’s movies.
It’s from Better Off Dead.
“Be seeing you!”
It’s the normal way of greating people in the village in The Prisoner.
It never hurts to help!
This makes me think of SNL. It’s an ancient katchina doll…and you put your weed in there!
Correct!
All from TV:
“Mrs. ____, we’re needed.”
“Well of COURSE not, don’t be RIDICOOLUS!”
“Ooh! Ooh!”
"Just one more thing . . . "
“Save the Texas prairie chicken!”
And here’s a really tough one. Hint: it’s from a show that’s been mentioned once already:
“You know, I don’t think there’s a man, woman, or child alive today who doesn’t enjoy a lovely beverage.”
“Ooh! Ooh!” Mistah Kottah!
welcome back mr, kotter.
no one’s answered the below quote:
It never hurts to help!
“Drizzle Drazzle, time for ziss one to come home” is from Tooter Turtle cartoons!
God, I really AM ancient!
I remember that Tooter Turtle was always daydreaming of one exciting job or another. Maybe he’d be dreaming of being a railroad engineer. So, he’d go the the Wizard (a lizard, of course) and tell him “I wanna be a train engineer.” Mr. Wizard would grant the fantasy… and of course, it would be a disaster. And just as Tooter was about to cause a massive train wreck, he’d scream “HEEEELP! MR. WIZARD! I DON’T WANNA BE AN ENGINEER!”
At that point, we’d see Mr. Wizard reciting his magical spell: “Drizzle drazzle, druzzle drome, time for ziss vun to come home.” And Tooter would be safe until next week, when he’d want to be a football player or something.
“I do and do and do for you kids, and THIS is the thanks I get!”
And I and every other alt-rock fan my age knows this rhyme from “Hold My Life” by the Replacements.
Musician: “Rock over London, rock on, Chicago!”
Eek the Cat.
John Steed. And no offense, but I wouldn’t call this one obscure. (In fact, a great many of the phrases offered in this thread are either non-obscure or non-catchphrases.)
Balki Bartokomus. Again, not obscure.
Arnold Horshack. Not obscure either.
Lieutenant Columbo – and again, not what I’d call obscure.
This one’s tougher. It’s by Michael Nesmith of The Monkees.
David Letterman. I wouldn’t call this a catchphrase, though. It was more like a running gag for one show.
Yes, it’s a series by that name from by Savage Steve Holland, who also made “Better off Dead”

Ok, I’m not good at playing this, but if you want obscure, how about this.
From a videogame:
“Check-a-roony”.
TV Animation:
“I must succeed!”
TV live-action
“Woo-woo-woo”
Like “They pelted us with rocks and garbage”, it was part of a catchphrase contest Letterman had back in the Late Night days.
Catchphrases a friend and I regularly use:
“I’m on my way!”
“Hurray! I’m for the other team!”
“I’ve never heard of him.”
“He’s never heard of you, either.”
Eddie Izzard, Dress to Kill
Kumbya!!!
Are you answering, or asking? I could swear that is from the same show.
Here we go…
“Its 106 miles to Chicago. We’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and were wearing sunglasses.” “Hit it.”
“I am king of the diamond! There should be a grand club house feast! Bring me the finest meats and cheeses in all the land!”
