One Day at a Time “Oh my Goooood.” This was one of the fucking worst. Ooooh! Ooooooh!- Arnold Horshack when he was raising his hand to be picked on. Wha? Where? Vinne Barbarino’s version of “I know NOTHING!” Said by Freddie “Boom Boom” Washington when trying to flirt his way out of a problem. Welcome Back Kotter- I think this show really helped eventually kill the catchphrase. It was a good imitation, and somewhat amusing, but I swear to God he seemed to do it on every single episode.Ī non-verbal catchphrase from that show was, when Fred was talking about someone who he felt was gay, he say “You know…” and put his hand out flat and then make the “a little of this, at little of that” tilting it from side to side motion. Sanford and Son This one isn’t a phrase, but Fred Sanford would start singing If I Didn’t Care by Bill Kenny and the Ink Spots. And every poem stated with “My name is LENN-AYYY” If you haven’t see it, it’s a awful and inexplicable as it sounds. And then, they were always running into this pimp type of guy named Lenny, who spoke in poems. It was like the show had merged with the Copycats. First of all, almost the entire cast started doing imitations. My name is LENN-AY – Good Time started to get weird in its last season and a half. Well, you know, what can I say? They tried to give JJ another one, this one having fun with his ladies man imagie, but it never caught on the way Dyn-o-mite did. Eventually, you can say in a way John Amos was fired for resenting it, and Esther Rolle quit for a season due to it. The studio audience seemed to eat it up with a spoon. It may not sound like much, but it was funny the way Bea did it.Īlso, Maude getting all upset, and yelling, and Walter yelling "MAUDE! SIT" and she'd shut up and sit immediatelyĭYN-O-MITE! – the most famous catchphrase, I think. A funny take on it, was one time, Maude pointed toward the sky, and then pointed at Walter. There was a thing where if someone insulted someone, Archie would say "That was a beautiful shot." Please contribute any I might be missing, and tell me about the history of using them on television.ĭidn't really have catch phrases, per se, but I guess just the words "Dingbat" and "Meathead" count. I'm gonna list some off the top of my head. He and Garry Marshall are responsible for quite a lot of them. Ironically, it was Norman Lear, who was known for quality, who seemed to spearhead the movement.
What was the first TV catchphrase that caught on? It almost became part of the formula of a successful show in the '70s.
He doesn't have three kids, so he gets to work out!" by Anonymous He wins."īut would Evans win the other Cap-centric competition: namely, who has America's ass? That's another title Ackles is happy to surrender to Marvel's shield-slinger. "No, he's got magic powers! And his shield can return to him my shield is just a blunt object. "Chris and I should probably talk about doing some sort of face-off or crossover," he teases, before instantly changing his tune. Asked whether he's hoping to hear from Chris Evans about his send-up of Cap, Ackles briefly indicates that's a battle he'd relish. That's nothing like the tension that could be generated from a Soldier Boy-Captain America showdown. which means that he'll potentially be back and badder than ever before the season wraps up. But the official record may not be entirely accurate. But then a bloody attack by the Soviet Union in the early ’80s left Payback decimated and Soldier Boy apparently dead. Introduced into The Boys universe as "America's first superhero," he and his super-team, Payback, operated during and after the Vietnam War. Like Steve Rogers before him, Soldier Boy is a man out of time. "I don't know what this says about me, but right then I was like, 'I gotta play this role!' I was really excited about it." (Watch our video interview above.) "I read and I just remember there was a line where Soldier Boy said: 'I was banging some Playboy in the grotto and Peter Fonda's thumb was up my ass,'" the actor tells Yahoo Entertainment now. But where Cap is virtuous to a fault, Soldier Boy revels in violence and other bad behaviors, which makes him the perfect addition to The Boys's roster of gleefully profane "heroes." And Ackles knew exactly what he was getting into when creator, Eric Kripke, who developed the show from Garth Ennis's comic book, sent an early Season 3 script his way with an audition scene that didn't make the final cut.
Season 3 of the blockbuster superhero satire The Boys - now playing on Prime Video - introduces internet heartthrob Jensen Ackles as a demented version of Marvel's stalwart Star-Spangled Avenger.
