I keep a running list of Gorilla Monsoon catch phrases (said list is up to about 85 or so). What are some of your favorite Gorilla Monsoon clichés?

Here are a few of mine:

"Getting down to the nitty gritty" (used in a royal rumble when there are like 15 people left).

"Look at the 360!" (used to describe any angle from 180 - 360 degrees)

"They're literally hanging from the rafters!" (Gorilla never did get the hang of the word 'literally'). "Jam-packed to the rafters" is a variant.

"I'll have you taken right out of here" (I always loved that Gorilla implied he had a bunch of security guards at various points in the building just waiting to escort Heenan out).

"Right on the back of the external occipital protuberance"
"WILL YOU STOP?"

"Please!"

On the rare occasions where there was blood, I think he would say that so-and-so is lacerated (or some other term to avoid the word "bleeding").

"Highly unlikely!"

"Fountain of misinformation" (any heel manager)

"He's not hooking the leg - he'll never win like that!" (followed by the guy eventually getting the pinfall without hooking the leg, at least half of the time)

"___ is a tough customer." (for S.D. Jones, Terry Gibbs, Lanny Poffo, Jerry Allen types - who aren't complete rag dolls and get some offense in, but eventually lose to the opponent's finisher)

"Miscarriage of justice" (whenever a heel wins through illegal tactics)

"Stick a fork in him, he's done!"

"He doesn't know a wristlock from a wristwatch!"

Gorilla Monsoon really was a cliche machine :)

“This place is going BANANAS.”

“It’s the irrestible force meeting the immovable object.”

(To Bobby Heenan): “Will you stop? I will have you thrown out of here.”

(In response to a title change): “History has been made.”

"You don t get a body like that waiting for the bus."
