“Hulk Smash!” “It’s Clobberin’ Time!” “Holy Moley!” Our favorite comics are chock-full of catchphrases, from Spider-Man’s lamentations about power and responsibility to Iron Man’s “Beer after whisky, mighty risky!” Still, the Catchphrase-22 (patent pending) is that many of them can get old quickly, as fans of the old Superfriends cartoon can tell ya. 80% of that shows dialogue consisted of ‘Great Hera!’, ‘Great Scott!’, and ‘I’m the Goshdang Batman!’ Still, as Captain Underpants will tell ya, you can never underestimate the power of underwear, and for every “Tyler No Likey!” we have an uber-popular “D’oh!”, leading us to today’s “I love it when a plan comes together!” query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) also finds it fascinating that no ever actually said “Beam me up, Scotty”, making it a phantom catchphase, asking: What’s the best and/or least Catchphrase-22 annoying catchphrase in all pop culture?

I don’t get annoyed easily by catchphrases, but one of the best is “Autobots, roll out!”. Its appropriately cheeky, but not too much.
Has to be said like Peter Cullen.
“Let’s get dangerous”
