It is to me, depending on the delivery of the line. It is only good once or twice, after that it is not good to constantly use a co-star's phrase. I will give examples

Mr. Drummond from Diff'rent Strokes said, "Whatchootalkin' bout?" to his lawyer when he told him he was getting a 30 million dollar loan he was originally turned down for.

Mel from Alice said, "Kiss My Grits!" to an old lady he gave free food to for years when he found out she had a lot of money.

Lamont from Sanford and Son faked a heart attack and told his deceased mother that he was coming to join her when he saw Lena Horne in his living room.

I'm going with no on this one, it's not really that funny to me. The one time it worked for me was on Happy Days, when everyone said "Sit on it" at one time or another. It worked when Richie told The Fonz to "Sit On It" and when Mrs. C told Howard to "Sit On It".

I liked how every once in a while on Home Improvement someone would say, "I don't think so, Al." :lol: It only happened a handful of times, which made it funny.

I guess it depends on who uses it and when. Mr. Drummond used it, it was a knockout, because it came out of nowhere.

I got so sick of hearing everyone say, "Sit on it" on Happy Days. It got lame. Who was the first person to actually use that phrase?

Happy Days had the lamest catchphrases (though I did laugh every time Ralph Malph would say "I still got it"...go figure). I'm surprised no one made up a drinking game for "sit on it". Every time Fonzie would say "I was wr-wr-wr-" was annoying, too.

Tell me abt it salt sister. :rolleyes: Fonzie being wrong was overdoing it.
I guess during its first run I could overlook those things but the second time around I was not having it. I hope I don't offend but I really hated it when Joanie said the phrase, "Sit on it." Sometimes she would show this smirk on her face as if she had just invented this great put-down.:crazy: God, I just wanted to smack her. :lol:

I didn't watch Happy Days when it was originally on (I was born mid-way into its run), but I started watching the reruns when I was a kid and adored it. I didn't see it again until I was about 21 and realized just how cheesy and lame a lot of the dialogue was. Don't even get me started on the thunderous screaming and cheers...:rolleyes:

Oh, the audience. Yeah, they were the ones who started that whole clapping s**t. It went onto Married w/Children as well. :mad: It was even worse when Chachi became this hearthrob. More like heartburn. :crazy:

I adored HD when it first appeared. I couldn't wait to watch it. Like you, as I look back I realize the first two seasons were the best and too bad the show didn't remain that way.

Let me add, I did NOT like Richie's girlfriend Lori Beth. Or rather, I did not like the actress. I could not believe they paired up the Richie character with HER! Ugh!!!!

Somehow those lame musical numbers they did in the late Richie years escaped me the first time I watched the show. I remember a really lame Valentine's Day one, complete with Al dressed up as Cupid. UGGGH!! puke:

No disrespect to Al Molinaro, but give me Pat Morita's Arnold anyday!! Remember when Arnold tried to teach Richie karate?? :rofl:

Oh Pat Morita. Why oh why was he no longer on HD? I missed him. Like you, I mean no disrespect to Al, he managed to fit right into the show, but I loved the scenes with Pat. He was a friggin' riot. :rofl: I do remember that episode well abt the karate. We needed more episodes with Pat for sure. ;)

I don't really know why Pat left, but an Arnold episode was guaranteed to be full of laughs. Not to mention that he was on in the early seasons, before the show went downhill (and forgot that it was supposed to be set in the 1950s/1960s).

To be fair to Mr. Molinaro, my grandma and I absolutely loved him as the pitchman for On Cor frozen dinners. "We'll be at your house at 6 tomorrow!!" :rofl:

Over at Good Times, I always cracked up when Bookman, Michael and even Florida would imitate JJ. :lol:

lol. i loved it when somebody would call Bookman 'Buffalo butt.' :rotflmao: correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe Willona started that.

Buffalo Butt or Booger...:rofl: I especially liked Booger, it always reminded me of what comes out of your nose. :rofl:

booger! how could i forget that one?! :lol: *slaps himself* thanks the for the remind. ;)

No problem sweetie. I almost forgot myself. :lol:

Didn't he leave to do his own series, Mr. T And Tina?

If I remember correctly, Jack Albertson (Ed Brown) said "Looooking gooood!"--Freddie Prinze's catchphrase--a few times on Chico and the Man. I found it funny, mainly cuz Ed was so old and so Caucasian that to hear the Mexican accent of the very young comic coming out of him cracked me up!

That's right - I forgot about that. Pat did come back as Arnold in the 1982-83 (?) season when Erin Moran, Scott Baio, and Al Molinaro went on to Joanie Loves Chachi.

I would have loved to have heard him say that. I'll bet it was funny coming from him because he was a grouch. LOL

Oh yeah, that too hee hee!

Thank you for that reminder. I did watch Mr. T. & Tina. I liked it. I don't know that I would like it now though.

I think Mindy said "na nu, na nu" a few times on Mork & Mindy, but I could be wrong.

scout baukala who playssam in Quatam leap. every time he leps into people he alsways said oh boy. it was a catch phrase.

As a kid I remember laughing one specific time with "Sit on it".

After Ralph wrecked Fonzie's bike and Fonzie was dying to get his hands on him. And Ralph gets him a brand new one and Fonzie is impressed. Ralph then tells him to "Sit on it Fonzie" - Fonzie then looks enraged and Ralph quickly recovers, "The bike! The bike! I mean the bike!" (something to this effect).

It was all in the delivery of Donnie Most that made the scene.

I remember her saying it a couple of times myself.

I watched it too and didn't really find it funny. I remember one of the family members saying, "Not funny turkey". Tina played Lincoln Tyler's wife on All My Children and they killed off her character.

Once on All in the Family, Edith stole Archie's "stiffle" when she was going through "the change." that was too funny. :rotflmao:
didn't Maude call Archie a meathead?
