"This is it, Elizabeth I'm coming to join you honey" was more of a Redd Foxx catchphrase than "You big dummy"

"Ay-Oh Oh-Ay" Tony from Who's the Boss

"Fee-eee-eeee-ney" Eric from Boy Meets World(that's the Feeny call, but has become a catchphrase)

Other Examples:

"Ohh Dear God" -- Dr. Frasier Crane on Frasier.
It never really took off, but he says almost every episode.

"Stifle" "Meathead" "Dingbat" -- Archie Bunker on All in the Family


But, the best is "Watchutalkinbout Willis?", by far.

"Kiss mah grits!!" was the best and the funniest IMO. She didn't say it every other episode, so it was never said to death. I also loved it when Flo would say "When donkeys fly!"

On the subject of Cheers catchphrases, you can't forget "It's a little known fact that..."

Some other great ones:

"Oh, Rob!" from The Dick Van Dyke Show and "You gotta lotta 'splainin' to do"from I Love Lucy.


But on the original list... "whatcha talkin' about Willis?" is the best best!

Scratch that.... my personal fave came from Norm from Cheers, although he technically never said it.

Everytime he walked through the door, everybody shouted "NORM!!"

Everyone except Diane, of course, who quaintly said "Norman."

"How YOU doin'?" - Joey, from Friends
"George is gettin' upset!" - George, from Seinfeld

And I'll second Cliff's "Here's a little known fact" from Cheers.
