->''"Sweet… something of… someplace!"''
-->-- '''Hermes''', ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back"

A CatchPhrase that's slightly different every time--the same phrase structure, but with one or two words varied each time it's used, either completely at random or somehow related to the current situation. Perhaps the most famous is ComicBook/{{Robin}}'s "Holy [noun], Series/{{Batman|1966}}!"

Subtrope of CatchPhrase and a prime source for the "mutation" part of MemeticMutation--turns of phrase like "X is the new Y" which behave this way are sometimes called '{{snowclone}}s'. Unrelated to MadLibsDialogue.
