SOME FAMOUS QUOTES IN THE 60s, 70s and 80s. 1960s Beam me up, Scotty Any Star Trek fan will tell you that this phrase was never actually used in any single episode of the popular TV series, but it remains a popular catchphrase from Star Trek nonetheless.

Fred Flintstones cry of delight from the popular US cartoons The Flintstones. And now for something completely different Eric Idle first delivered this catchphrase in the second edition of Monty Pythons Flying Circus (1969). Monty Python introduced lots of strange catchphrases, such as It is an ex-parrot, Albatross! and Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more... Holy Smoke! Or Holy (insert any word here).

I wanna tell you a sto-ry Although British entertainer Max Bygraves used this phrase, it only became a popular catchphrase after comic impressionist Mike Yarwood used it in his impression of Bygraves in the early 1970s. Bygraves then used the catchphrase as the title of his autobiography (1976). Didnt he do well From British entertainer and game-show host Bruce Forsythe. The Generation Game, which started in 1971, led to Forsythe creating several catchphrases which he stuck with throughout his career, such as Good game, good game, Give us a twirl and Nice to see you, to see you nice! Im free! From the British sitcom Are You Being Served. Ive started so Ill finish... From BBC TVs Mastermind quiz show.

This was used instead of Hello for a short time. 1980s Been there, done that, worn the T-shirt... Of unknown origins, this motto became attached to tourists who preferred to tick-off a sight-seeing list rather than actually enjoying the sights. Later the catchphrase grew into ...Read the book, seen the video, bought the mug... Ill be back Immensely popular catchphrase made famous by American actor Arnold Schwarzenegger in the film Terminator (1984). He used this catchphrase in almost all of his movies thereafter. Loadsamoney! This was the name given to Harry Enfields popular character which first appeared on British TV in 1987 on Friday Night Live. Enfield abandoned the character, which was intended to portray a money-worshipping fool, because the public loved it too much!

This catchphrase was greatly used by the unemployed in Britain after the TV drama series The Boys From The Blackstuff (about unemployment in Liverpool), first shown in 1982. It also made a hero of one of the characters, Yosser Hughes. Go ahead, make my day... Originated from the Clint Eastwood film Sudden Impact (1983) in which Eastwood played Dirty Harry. He also had the effect of causing people to add the word punk to the end of sentences... Are you looking at me.... Punk? Hello John, got a new motor? From around 1980, this catchphrase was made popular by British comedian Alexi Sayle after he released a song of the same name. Its all done in the best poss-ible taste! British broadcaster and TV comedian Kenny Everett first delivered this catchphrase on his TV show of the 1980s. He played a character called Cupid Stunt, a Hollywood screen-goddess who always lost her clothing in her films! Know wot I mean, Arry? This catchphrase simply means Do you know what I mean? But people started to add the Arry after British boxer Frank Bruno used the phrase. Arry was actually BBC sports commentator Harry Carpenter, and the phrase was supposed to have been used in a pre-match interview between Carpenter and Bruno. PLEASE ADD SOME MORE IF YE HAVE ANY?
