Ahh, you kids today...
There's quite a few catchphrases from Laugh-In that have caught on, though. I think many today do recognize these things but just don't associate them with their source. The show wasn't quite as edgy and politically oriented as SNL can be, and it was much sillier, but hey it ran from 1968-73 and aired during prime time, at 8 pm in some areas and earlier in others. There was only so much that could get past the network censors back then. They did do a regular fake news broadcast though, and that became the format for SNL's Weekend Update feature.
"Sock it to me!" (Not yet Pres Nixon even got on the show to do one of these; he later claimed that appearance helped him win the election); this was much later the subject of the top tier question the first ever big winner on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? answered correctly. In fact, he still had his Phone a Friend lifeline and used it to call his dad to say hi and tell him he didn't need any help before answering.
"You bet your sweet bippy!"
"One ringy-dingy..., a gracious good afternoon (snort, snort)", etc. -- Lily Tomlin as Ernestine the telephone operator, I think she may have done those sketches elsewhere prior and certainly after but they were a regular feature on the show.
"And that's the truth, pfffft!" -- Lily Tomlin again, as a little girl usually in an absurdly huge rocking chair.
"Say goodnight, Dick." "Goodnight, Dick!"
The dance party scenes, one in every show, where jokes were told while dancing; this was later emulated on The Muppet Show.
The Farkel Family where all of the kids have red hair and freckles. Their parents don't, but the male "good friend and trusted neighbor" does. We often use this one right here to explain the Red Haired Baby scenario feature of SP.
And the one I still use all the time:
"Verrry interesting...but shtoopid!" -- Arte Johnson as a confused WWII German soldier usually hiding in bushes, not very politically correct I guess but hilarious in context.
It's amazing how many of these greats are still with us. Ruth Buzzi went on to do a lot of cartoon voice acting in addition to the game show circuit, she has a very distinctive voice. Wouldn't it be something if Ruth or Arte googled their own names and ended up here to comment?
(I blame my post-surgery pain-meds, at least until I can't blame them anymore. )
My settings are as followed Facial Blend Mutation: Random Sim -1.0 : 1.0 and Facial Blend Mutation: Unset Blends -1.0 : 1.0 with chance of bin offsprings being at 50 and random at 10 on Options:Lots. For Options: Sims it's the same facial settings except chance of bin offspring is set to 100 and random at 0.
