Saw this in the August 21 issue of TV Guide,
their pick of the 20 most memorable catchphrases.
One contains an expletive, which I'm going to delete.

1. Yada, yada, yada (Seinfeld)
2. To the moon, Alice! (Ralph Kramden on The Honeymooners)
3. Eat my shorts! (Bart Simpson)
4. How YOU doin'? (Joey on Friends)
5. Live long and prosper (Spock on Star Trek)
6. Let's hug it out, ***** (Ari Gold on Entourage)
7. Come on down! (The Price Is Right)
8. Sit on it! (Fonzie on Happy Days)
9. The truth is out there (The X-Files)
10. Sock it to me! (Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In)
11. We are two wild and crazy guys (Dan Aykroyd and
Steve Martin on Saturday Night Live)
12. Stifle, Edith! (Archie Bunker on All In The Family)
13. He's just not that into you (Sex And The City)
14. Dyn-o-mite! (J.J. on Good Times)
