Here's two catch phrases we repeated daily in Iraq last year.
- "I'm not even supposed to be here today!"
- "Why oh why didn't I take the BLUE pill?" (Also an inside joke as the huge anti-malaria horsepills we swallowed daily were baby-blue in color. Gulp. Pause. "Nope, still here.")

From "A Mighty Wind," a catchphrase that was a fake-sitcom-catchphrase (and you have to mimic Fred Willard's voice):

I like another one from Bustch Cassidy: "Who are those guys?". I can't believe nobody added DeNiro's: "Are you talking to me?...are you talking to ME?" (in long and short versions).
