14 out of 18 here. So many of us got that score--I wonder if we all got the same ones wrong? I definitely got tripped up on yada yada yada, but I agree with @CaptKahunah--it wasn't really a media sensation catch-phrase until "Seinfeld" used it (although people I knew here in NYC--including myself--had been using it for ages before that).

13 out of 18... I figure the one that tripped you up had to be "yada, yada, yada". I would debate if the use of it on (the correct answer) made it catchphraseable... it wasn't until the use on (the way more popular show) that it really made it into the american lexicon.

I got 12 out of 18 too... I'm over 30 and don't watch the OC sorry....

13 of 18 for me. There were some shows that I never watch - oddly I got most of those right and stumbled on things that watched a lot.

hate to break it to you but that's what she said isn't originally from the office.. try watching some old school Wayne's World.

I got 15 out of 18.

Sitruc, yes some of the catch phrases aren't original, but those shows in particular moved them from being just a random line in an epi, to being something that becomes associated with the show and made it a classic moment.

There are tons of slang words or catch phrases out there that your friends will bat about, but aren't known to the rest of the world. A tv show or a movie can change that, if the phrase or word is said with the right tone at the right moment in a good scene.

I mean Chandler Bing had plenty of funny phrases attributed to him, but it was his phrasing that made them that much funnier and makes people remember his character. The guy made the words 'Could you be ...' hilarious.

I know this is just a plug for an AOL quiz to get hits there, but I'm not sure I understand the premise of the quiz or this plug for the quiz? Catchphrases are used all of the time. I routinely use several original phrases(yeah, that's as sad as it sounds, but I do have friends so it's okay, right?). There are many original catchphrases used on television shows. Many of the "catchphrases" used in the quiz and a couple in this entry aren't original nor were they commonly used.

Just 6 out of 18!! Could only get one guess right. :p

12 out of 18 for me!

I got 14 out of 18, too. The one that really tripped me up was the first one, about the first show to feature the phrase "yadda yadda yadda." Oh well. :-)
