What do you get from a glut of TV? A pain in the neck and an IQ of 3.

When I was a kid I watched a ton of television, and I was particulary fond of sitcoms. Thus, I was intrigued to see a nostalgic special on well known tv expressions.

Can you identify the show or event from which each quote/phrase originated?


The following are some of those I found memorable among TV Land's Greatest TV Quotes and Catchphrases:
Aay! (with thumbs up)
Yeah, that's the ticket.
Hey, hey, hey (Dwayne)
HEY HEY HEY (Albert)
D'oh!
Stifle!
What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?
We are two wild and crazy guys!
The tribe has spoken.
Is that your final answer?
Good night, John Boy.
Let's be careful out there.
Who loves ya, baby?
Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy.
Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?
Up your nose with a rubber hose.

Live long and prosper.
Yada Yada Yada ... (FYI Yada in Hebrew is to know)
Book 'em, Dano.
Space, the final frontier ...
Yabba dabba do!
Where's the beef? Wendy's
5-Ask not what your country can do for you ...
4- Baby, you're the greatest.
3-You're fired! The Apprentice
2-One small step for man ...
1-Heeeeere's Johnny!

Very nicely done.

From the ones you attempted, I only have the following corrections/modifications:
-What you talkin' 'bout, Willis? was not Silver Spoons.
-the 2nd of the wild and crazy guys was not Martin Short
The VP debator was Lloyd Bentson of TX
Yes, on Kotter, but it was a young John Travolta (i.e., Vinny Barbarino) who said it.
The guy who ate the whole thing is close, but not quite the right brand.
Jane the ignorant slut was actually from SNL, but that's all the clue I'll give.

Other than that, you hit 'em outta the park!

Very nicely done, Rev.

"Obviously I've wasted too much time in my life in front of the idiot box."

You and me, both, brother!

Only a few not identified:
Hey, hey, hey [Dwayne from What's Happening?]
I can't believe I ate that whole thing? [Alka Selzer]
How sweet it is! [Jackie Gleason show]
It is much better to look good than to feel good. [Billy Crystal doing Fernando, the smarmy talk show host on SNL]
Would you believe ...? [Don Adams on Get Smart, he'd say to the bad guys "Would you believe there are 93 agents posted outside waiting to get in?" They would say, "No." So, he'd say, "Would you believe two agents with very stern looks?" etc.]
Time to make the donuts. [Dunkin' Donuts commercial in the 80s, where he gets up early to make the donuts fresh and winds up seeing himself coming through the front door as he says, "I already made the donuts."]
