Catchphrase / Web Original

Go To

Hello, I'm the The Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to!

Web originals have catch phrases too. Relax, we're not going to expunge that data.


Examples

  • Whenever someone gets gifted a sub for the first time (or a sub bomb gets dropped) on Twitch streamer's The 8-Bit Drummer's stream, he will say "Take the emotes, spread the love, and rock on."
  • AlphaOmegaSin's closing catch phrase for most of his videos: "Nerds, nerdettes, and gamers, game the fuck on!"
    • And, in a somewhat similar vein, Razorfist (the Rageaholic) also has his sole catchphrase at the end of most of his videos: "I'm Razorfist! God-fucking-speed!"
  • "Love ya like a play bro!" is the catch phrase of Andre the Black Nerd. Speaking of which:
    • His intro: "Hi I'm Andre and I'm a black nerd."
    • Intro to the rant videos: "Hi I'm Andre and I'm a black nerd. AND I'M ANGRY!"
    • "I'm gonna give you the good, I'm gonna give you the bad, and I'm gonna give you the nerdy."
    • His outro: "Love ya like a play cousin! I'm outie 5000! Chain-Chomp, YOMP!"
  • The Angry Video Game Nerd has a few. "What were they thinking?!" is arguably his most famous ones, but his other well known ones include "What a shitload of fuck" and "I am dead fucking serious".
  • The Annoying Orange: "Hey Apple! Knife."
  • "RANDOM GRATITIOUS BREAST SHOT" and "RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST (something/someone)!" from badmovies.org
  • Arby 'n' the Chief:
    • Master Chief's "lol remember arbitur?" Lampshaded in "Drunken Halo".
      Arbiter: Don't forget you admitted you were terrible. LOL, remember Chief?
      Master Chief: HAY / thats mai thing arbitur / u cant use mai thing / remember / remember its mien / lol remember arbitur?
      Arbiter: LOL, I remember Chief.
      Master Chief: LOL / ur so silly
      Arbiter: I know, LOL.
      Master Chief: LOL
  • Benthelooney:
    • Ben T. Looney has, "Welcome back to Ben Rants/Salutes/'s Top Ten, and when I was a kid [X]."
    • Most of the videos conclude with Ben saying, "I'm Ben and I'm signing out. I'm gonna/going to [X]."
    • Jack and Trixie share two, both being responses to insults they can't disagree with: "That's tough, but fair" and "That's probably true, but you still shouldn't say it." Usually said in the middle of one of their usual Snark-to-Snark Combat sessions. They're also prone to tell one another that "I hate you" whenever one annoys the other.
    • One occasion takes advantage of the nature of catch phrases as something people say so the time, often without thinking about it. When people call Trixie "Miss Dixon", she typically responds with "Trixie, please!" She's apparently so used to this that she's not even aware she says it. This contributes to the solution of "The Reunion" when Jack stops Trixie from doing it while the woman they're speaking to, a woman they'd met previously doing a Twin Switch, reveals herself by calling her Trixie.
  • Blakinola, mostly from his 'Tl;dr Patch Notes' series:
    • "Oh baby."
    • "Up in this motherfucker!"
    • "Fuck this champion."
  • Bon Appetit: In Amiel Stanek's "Every Way to Cook [X]" videos, "Well, that is...something!" pops up regularly when he's tried something weird like steaming a pizza.
  • Bowser's Kingdom: Steve has "Hi, guys!" even though he says his never-before-said-onscreen catchphrase is "Who'd taken all the ketchup?" in episode 10.
  • In Brad Jones' Demo Reel, Admiral Crackers, an old cereal mascot, says "Release The Crackers!".
  • In The Brian & Jill Show, Brian spent the first week asking every person that called in if they're from Fullerton, California. He also has a Signing-Off Catchphrase with "Be good humans."
    • Twenty-five years of morning radio will also cause Brian, much to his annoyance, tell people "Good Morning" from force of habit even though they record well into the afternoon. He's adapted this to "Good morning, afternoon, evening or whenever you're listening."
  • Brian Hull would begin his non-Disneyland videos with "Hello my Hullimaniacs out there, welcome back to [the] channel, it's so great to see you again!"
  • Brizzy Voices would always open up her videos with "What up world, it's me, Brizzy." If she's doing a makeup tutorial as a different character, she would substitute her name with the character she is doing the makeup tutorial on.
  • Burcol, a high-level player of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 on Youtube, will often say "And that's enough of Ultra Instinct Goku" upon defeating a player who's using that character in one of his vids.
  • Caddicarus has "Greetings and salutations, my beautiful people!" at the start of every video. His other catch phrases include "Jesus Christ on a bicycle!" as an exclamation of surprise, and "If it's your birthday while watching this video, then happy fricking birthday to you. And please remember to stay beautiful!" at the end.
  • Captain Disillusion: "Love with your heart, use your head for everything else... Captain Disillusion!"
  • The animation reviewer CellSpex has "Stay shiny animaniacs".
  • Brett Vanderbrook as Captain S has "Everything gets the Kick" during his first episode. It has been heard in a few other online shows since.
  • Comic Book Universe Battles: "Spanked like a four year old at Kmart" and "Fat skanky redneck chicks" from the old ones; "It ends in sex" from the new ones.
  • Chairman Nuke: MOAR LIES!
  • CinemaSins has some recurring sins, like "Scene does not contain a lap dance," and "[blank]-ex-machina," filled in with whatever is saving the day.
    • "X seconds of logo(s)."
    • "Roll Credits!" whenever the title of a movie is said during the movie.
    • "Reading." Whenever text on the screen is read aloud.
    • "The Books Do Not Matter" is one that's often used when they sin movies that are adapted from books (their logic being that movies should be able to stand on their own, people shouldn't have to read the books in order to understand what's going on in the movies).
    • "That's racist." Whenever a person is described as being some race or ethnicity (in a neutral, non-racist manner), or anything is described as being black.
    • "Liam Neeson isn't killing anyone in this scene", which later morphed into "[celebrity] isn't [action which said celebrity is known for] in this scene".
  • "Cinematography" in the Agony Booth
  • CJ DaChamp has "Alright, ladies and gentlemen." CJ almost always says this right before getting to an exhibit for people looking to get into the Round Table of Black Air Force Activity. He also drops it through the reviews, too.
  • Classic Alice has several:
    • Andrew's "Lock your doors!", a common refrain for chastising Alice and Cara's (oddly convenient) lack of security. The other characters repeat it and it becomes a running gag.
    • "Top Aces!", a line flub of Kate's that made it into the show. It's a "Valetonian" saying that means "great!"
    • "Hodgepodge hodgepodge" and "sneakpodge" was actually a blooper that became a reality in books 8+ of the show. It means "to move" and sneakpodge means "to move sneakily".
    • "Uninvolved Participant" is Nathan's (cameraman/Andrew's intern) mantra and reason we never see him on camera.
  • Parodied, along with a few dozen other tropes, in this Cracked original.
  • The Creatures:
    • Each member has their own, but the word "Brown" is used commonly by all of the Creatures, meaning bad, stinky, or used in place of a curse word. It was first said by Sp00n, but Kootra has since taken it, as he uses it the most. Also, the Creatures have said multiple times that it is in no way racist.
    • "MLG" when describing how good they are at a game (even if they aren't). This pokes fun at Major League Gaming circuits and serious gamers.
    • "I don't follow [X] news." used when someone doesn't know something or is corrected, the original being 'I don't follow Skyrim news'.
    • "Cheese it!" when the Creatures are running away or escaping from something in the game.
    • "High horse" used mostly by Nova, Seamus, and Sly. It's used to describe something that is very large, lavish, and/or over the top.
  • The Creep Catchers and Predator Poachers grassroots organizations have various catchphrases among the prominent web personalities.
    • "Yer done, bud.": typically uttered at the end of the humiliating interview with the would-be predator.
    • "Walk of shame, you goof!" is often called out when the would-be creep in question walks off knowing that his encounter would be posted online. "Goof" is Canadian prison slang for pedophile.
    • "You can't be doing this, my guy!": Often repeated by Rami of Predator Poachers New Jersey.
    • "I'm not new at this!" Often repeated in order to assert that the Catchers/Poachers have heard every predator excuse in the book.
    • Also said by Rami to most of the would-be predators he catches: "You see that garbage can? Right now I value that garbage can more than I value you!"
    • "We could get the police here right now": Usually said as an incentive for the failed predator to stay and talk (thus consenting to be filmed) instead of just walking or running away.
  • The Critical Drinker:
    • "[X], don't know" for perceived plot holes in a work.
    • "Fuck off, [X]" for a statement or would-be explanation he deems to make no sense.
    • "Nah, it'll be fine" for something in a work that he thinks will {sarcastically} go over well.
    • "But Drinker you [X}" for an eloquent-sounding and snarky comment about him.
  • Critical Role:
  • Cr1TiKaL:
    • He opens most videos with "What's up everybody this is Critikal, I'm playing [game he's playing at the time], this is for [platform]. Let's do this shit!" and he usually ends each video with "Well that's the end of this video, remember to rate the video, comment the video, and subscribe if you want to see videos similar to this one. See ya."
    • "This is the greatest [X] of all time" for his video descriptions, where X is what is being done in the game. Sometimes can be absolutely false depending on the game being played.
  • Stop! Demyx Time!
  • Dream:
    • "Also according to Youtube's statistics only a small percentage of people who watch my videos are actually subscribed, so if you end up liking this video consider subscribing. It's free and you can always unsubscribe. Enjoy the video." in his intros.
    • From Minecraft Manhunt:
      • From the Hunters: "Oh, Dream!"
      • From Dream himself: "Come here, George!"
  • Lampshaded in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog -
    Dr. Horrible: I'm Dr. Horrible. I've got a PhD in horribleness!
    Moist: Is that the new catch phrase?
    • The prequel comic revealed that his original catchphrase was "Horrible is just what the doctor ordered!" Moist comments that it needs changing.
    • Also NOT Lampshaded by Captain Hammer: "The hammer is my penis."
      • ...and Penny: "Captain Hammer will save us."
  • I'm Dr. Steel, and I'm crazy.

    • The ERB announcer starts and ends every battle the same way:
      EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY! [Character 1] vs. [Character 2]! BEGIN!
      WHO WON? WHO'S NEXT? YOU DECIDE! EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY!

    • Jessica: "I stand by it: *horrifying/bizarre opinion*."
  • The Fine Bros Spoilers'':

    • "X and Y end up together!" (or don't, largely thanking God for Woody Allen)
    • "Just like in real life! Who would have guessed it?"
    • "X and Y live (sing-songy) HAPPILY ever AFTER!!"

  • While not the only person to say it, GeorgeNotFound uses the phrase "Oh, Dream!" the most in Minecraft Manhunt videos.
  • In the webtoon GEOWeasel the character Mitri once claimed to be "Pretty much everywhere and nowhere, like a ghost or something." In later episodes, his brother would pressure him into saying it again, and then laugh like an idiot and proclaim it to be the funniest line in the world. This was probably a parody or a Take That! aimed at several of the toon's fans who thought the line was so funny that they pressured the creator into adding it again.
    • Jimbob also had the Catchphrase "Fix my saxophone", but it was parodied to the point that it became very irritating to everyone in the cartoon whenever he asked. Weas questioned whether the line was actually supposed to be amusing at all just by repeating it over and over and if it was leading up to anything (to which Jimbob replied cryptically "episode 15"). Later uses of the phrase either had someone stop Jimbob before he could say the whole thing or even ask or he would receive punishment for it (such as Weas shooting him dead in the first episode and stabbing him in the face in the long-awaited episode 15).
  • David Da Nugget is best known for repeatedly screaming "You're not f*cking Tony Abbott mate!" in GIProz videos.
  • Golden Book Video Killers:
    • "Greetings, and welcome to Golden Book Video Killers"

    • "Chuckimation!"

    • "AHHHH! The white screen of death!"

  • Guru Larry and Wez: Larry likes to start off his videos for real by saying "As I say; But... hello you! I'm Guru Larry, and I welcome you to Fact Hunt!"
    • "I'll get me coat" whenever some particularly horrible wordplay gets a Lame Pun Reaction.
  • The Hobo Bros have a few:
    • "Welcome back, you sexy hobos!", as said at the beginning of nearly every video.
    • Luke has "Ooh, my ass!" which he sometimes says when his character in a game gets hit, or almost gets hit.
    • "My Cupdick!" is a variation of the above, specifically used during their playthrough of Cuphead. It gets to the point where Luke starts calling the character, and even the game, "Cupdick".
  • In How It Should Have Ended, Batman has, "Because I'm BATMAN!"
    • Also, whenever he sees an attractive woman, he asks, "Wanna know my secret identity?"
  • Spoofed a few times on Homestar Runner. In Strong Bad's "crazy cartoon" "Sweet Cuppin' Cakes", the character of Eh! Steve seems to exist only to say his Catchphrase, which is also his name ("Eh! Steve!"). At the end of the Strong Bad Email "the facts", Homestar says he's decided to change his Catchphrase from "Seriously" to "That's bupkis!" Strong Bad used to say "Holy Crap!" with some regularity, as well, but due to inverse-Flanderization, he's been weaned off that aspect of his personality, and now groans whenever the word 'crap' comes up in an email.
    • Although he then began regularly yelling "DELETED" as he did so to many of the e-mails he was sent.
    • Parodied again with the Cheat Commandos, whose original Catchphrase was "Cheat Commandos... rock rock on!"
      Silent Rip: Uh... that's not what we usually say -
      Gunhaver: (the Cheat Commandos theme music stops abruptly) Yeah, whatever, it's riggidy-roll from now on.
    • Parodied again with "Limozeen ...But They're In Space!", in which manager Teeg Dougland starts every sentence with "I'm afraid I have some bad news, boys."
    • And who could forget Teen Girl Squad's "Soooooooooooooooo good!", as well as Tompkin's characteristic Unusual Euphemism, "Awwww, peas!"
    • Bubs' alter ego, "The Thnikkaman," has several that either he says or are associated with him.
      Kids: "Can we have some?"
      The Thnikkaman: "Yeah, shut up, kid!"
      Or:
      Singers: "Here comes the Thnikkaman!" (When he leaves, it's "There goes the Thnikkaman!")
    • According to Homestar, Coach Z uses "You can't always rush into the score zone!" as a metaphor for everything.
    • Also, a standard call-and-response for private eye, crooked cop, secret agent, and celebrity pharmacist Dangeresque:
      Reynaldo: Sounds pretty dangerous!
      Dangeresque: No, sounds... Dangeresque!
      • "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!"
    • In his sbemail "the process", Strong Bad mentions how he likes to start his email replies with "Well, whoever, something something something" or "Something something, eh, whoever?"

  • Hunter Reviews: "I'm Hunter, the movie reviewing pony, because when it comes to Cinema humans... cannot be trusted."
  • Husky Starcraft: "Hello everyone, this is H-to-the-usky Husky here!"
  • Hydraulic Press Channel: "[Object that is about to be crushed] is extremely dangerous, we must deal with it."
  • Barry "The Blender" Henderson from the online Irish comedy series I Am Fighter has "What about you?". The phrase is (somewhat obscure northern) Irish slang for "How are you"? Of course, since the series has become so widely recognised in Ireland (moreso in the the North), the phrase has exploded in popularity. Barry's thick culchie accent makes it sound more like "Whadda boutchee?". It's frequently shortened to "Boutchee?", even by the man himself.
    • And its variants:
      • Ra-ra-radaboutchee?
      • Whadda fuckin' boutchee?
      • Boutchee?
      • Whadda boutchee? Or, to our friends watching in Japan: *bows* Wharra boutcheeeeee?
    • He also has "Got my good friend Thomas Smythe here. Say hello to the camera, Thomas."
      • "Awrigh?"
    • A more minor one is that both of them frequently refer to a fight as a "Real life altercation".
    • "I'M ONLY PULLIN' YOUR FUCKIN' PISHER!" was used in the fifth and final episodes (for the curious, it means "Just kidding").
    • He loves it. He loves it.
      • Nothing. Fuck all from him. He loves it, though. He loves it.
  • IGSRJ has a handful of them.
    "WHOA!"

  • Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This? has several stock phrases which are usually parodied, the most famous of which being:
    Here at the Jory Caron Microwave Laboratory, safety is a number one priority. That's why we hide behind this giant tin foil shield, it's to protect our nuts, because nobody likes roasted nuts.
  • "Top o' the mornin' to ye, laddies! My name is Jacksepticeye and welcome (back) to (name of game)!"
    • He also has probably the longest Signing-Off Catchphrase ever. "THANK you guys so much for watching this video. If you LIKED it, PUNCH the Like button IN the face, LIKE A BOSS! And, high-fives all round. (high-fives the air while making sound effects) Well, thank you guys, and I will see all you dudes... (high-pitched) IN THE NEXT VIDEO!" Which is said, without fail, in its entirety, at the end of EVERY video he does.
    • "Like a boss!" in general is a catchphrase of his.
    • "Go, Jackie-boy!"
    • "BOOPER DOOPER!"
  • From Jacks Films, since Your Grammar Sucks #1, he's used the word "biches" to refer to his fans. In fact, a lot of his Catch Phrases originated from Your Grammar Sucks.

  • Jolly Roger Telephone Company:
    • This company is a website that provides bots which are designed to waste the time of telemarketers. Recordings of these calls are sometimes uploaded to YouTube. Almost all of the bots will often ask the caller "Can you start over?" or simply ask them to "start over" because it's a great way to waste their time by forcing a telemarketer to start their pitch over again from the beginning.
    • The company itself has become known for the phrases "There's a bee on me" / "There's a bee on my arm," popularized by the original Jolly Roger bot in one of the company's most well-known telemarketer time-wasting routines. This has even been used on official merchandise for the company.
  • KateModern: After footage from a sex tape featuring him finds its way onto the Internet, Gavin accidentally gains the catchphrase "Keep your socks on!" At first he is somewhat embarrassed, but he quickly embraces it.
