Thursday TV Throwback: ’90s Catchphrases

In our quest to bring you the best TV content, sometimes we have to look… backwards. That’s why we have Thursday TV Throwback, wherein each week our staff of pop culture enthusiasts will be tasked with bringing back some of the best television clips that have been forgotten by time, space and the general zeitgeist.

This week’s theme: Catchy ’90s Catchphrases!

You know you’re watching an old school TV show when the quippy quotables are out in full force. There are dozens of wacky lines from that golden age of sitcommery, from spine-chilling calls of “Feeny!” and “It stinks!” to simple realizations like “Woah!” and “Did I do that?”

Here’s what our staff chose this week…

Leanne Aguilera: MR. FEENY! MR. FE-FE-FE-EEENY! Come on. We all know that every first day of school we were praying to have a teacher named Feeny so we could do this call each and every day.

Shaunna Murphy: Kel’s “Who loves orange soda?” speech, if only for its mental staying power. Don’t act like you’ve ever been able to look at a can of orange soda without thinking about Kel. Then your mind goes to how sad it is that he disappeared off the face of the earth, his legacy being this speech and Good Burger, while Kenan is on SNL

Kelsea Stahler: My parents loved the way Michelle Tanner said her adorable catch phrase that it actually became a part of my own, childhood vocabulary. They also put me in silly sailor dresses and goofy sunglasses. What I’m trying to say is that I was real-life Michelle Tanner… without the hidden twin sister, giant house in San Francisco, triple father figures, and millions of dollars.

Kate Ward: I’m only saying it because no one else did because it’s SO obvious. But you can’t not include “D’oh!”

Aly Semigran: “Did I do that?” It’s a question I still ask myself to this day.

Matt Patches: “It stinks!”

Alicia Lutes: Uncle Jesse from Full House. As an adult, Stamos has me thinking “have mercy!” every time I see his face.

Marc Snetiker: “I’m the baby, gotta love me!”
