So it's pretty universal that everyone knows "$50 and Time Served", "Ooh-Kay" and "...But I'm Feeling Much Better Now", but how about the obscure ones that never caught on like "Everything Is Copacetic", "Judas Priest" and "Ciao, Baby!" ? :confused:
There was also Harry's recurring speech about "Things are better because you're in the world", but I'm not sure if that counts.

"Don't mess with Roz."

"What am I, chopped liver?" - Flo

"Thank you, Nani Darnell." - Harry (Nani Darnell was an assistant to tv magician Mark Wilson.)

"We're funny that way!" - Buddy Ryan

Wow, that's cool that someone caught "A-ciao, baby" that they tried to implement with Dan. They also tried with him some sort of Elmer Fudd type "herherherherherhher" laugh that never caught on.

Mac: "OH, MY DEAR LORD!"
Harry: "...if that is your real name."
Harry: "Hi, I'm Harry. But then aren't we all?"

How about "Jail? No jail!"? Harry's Russian buddy, Yakov (Yakov Smirnoff), used to utter it everytime he stopped by the courtroom for a visit.

Not a catch-phrase, but more of a schtick:

Harry opens the show with a long-winded, scolding rant about some ill of society that a particular defendant committed, and then they show the least likely type of person to fit the crime (usually a nun, old man/woman, child). I loved it when they did that.

To be honest I think it was the strength of the show. The show was at its funniest when they were standing in front of the judge dealing with one crazy defendant after another. One liners flying like crazy. Also it is when Dan was at his best.

I don't know if this counts since they were only in a handful of episodes, but how about "Hello Judge, it's us again" from Bob and June Wheeler?
