Well, since you can recite them from memory, whoever wrote them did their job pretty well.

I wanna dip my balls in it!

Either an SNL catch phrase or an add for a special dip for cheese balls, can't remember which. [xx(]

There was something about "we're all going to make so much money we'll get to dip our balls in gold..." that caught my attention, but I don't remember where i heard it.

Operation anything. You hear it a lot more during times of conflict.

it's from 'The State'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_State_(TV_series)

Louie, played by Ken Marino, was one of the more ironic characters on the show, parodying sketch comedy characters who rely on stupid catchphrases for cheap laughs. Louie was a genial fellow with a strong desire to dip his "balls" (actual golf balls, not testicles, although the innuendo was certainly intentional) in various things. His catchphrase, naturally, is a very enthusiastic "I wanna dip my balls in it!"

my least favorite 'catch phrase' is:

The way forward.

This was from a 1990s sketch comedy show on MTV called "The State."  Really, really awesome.

I am, the price cutter.  (I will never even consider buying a car here due to this commercial)

Mathis Brothers Furniture, Style and Priiiice (*to the tune*)

Prices are cheaper out west on New Sapulpa road.

At Chris Nickols, you'll always get your Nickels worth.  (only one with the name it in, kudos)

- - -

At the very big corner of Pine and Admiral

Home, of the copper dome.

I always like:

"Our People Make the Difference"

Any company that doesn't have the creative skill to communicate to their customers on a non-cliché level is a business I don't want to use!

I like the honest slogans:

"We work as little as possible for as much of your money as possible."

"If you've got the cash, We've got the pockets"

"We love what we do, so pay us for it, you deadbeat."

"Lets get rich together"

"We are an investment in our future"

"We don't charge an arm and a leg, we want cash!"

Here's an overused slogan format for the linguists....

[present participle + noun], one [noun] at a time.

Changing the world, one family at a time.
Making a difference, one what-the-hell-ever at a time.

I hate and will never use a car dealer that starts a commercial with  the line "Hello friends" in some generic hick accent.

You aren't my friend and I don't trust you.

The two most over used words in the English language today:  "amazing," and "basically."

Thanks for the correction.  Pine and Admiral didn't sound right and indeed... doesnt make much sense.
