Top 50 Funniest TV Phrases

#20 should be Top 5

and no love for"

"As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!!!"

No love for WKRP? That episode still makes me laugh until my eyes water. I do agree that list is waaaaay out there, but then again-to each thier own I guess.

I suspect at least a portion of the list is mandated by whatever "stars" or celebrities they can book to chat. It always seems odd to me that the celebrity parts just fall right into place every 3 or 4 spots. They'll do 2 quick ones with clips, the celeb bit, commercial, repeat.


Or what DVD line the company may have an interest in pushing and how they want to push it. Which would explain why YADA was #1 from an NBC show on a list shown on NBC. And that line in particular over how many Seinfeld phrases such as "Master of your Domain", or "They're real & they're spectacular", even the " No Soup" which was farther up the list. ? Because YADA was kinda the summation statement for the entire Seinfeld series.

Of the 50 shows, almost a third were NBC series, and Laugh-In, SNL, Seinfeld, Friends, & Sanford repeated appearances on the list.

There's gotta be a firm line drawn between "funniest" phrases
and "most iconic" phrases...I think that's a major issue in decision making here.
