Youtube one-link, but very much a catch-phrase.

You could probably do this with Michaelangelo saying "Cowabunga" or "Pizza" from TMNT the cartoon. It's amazing how bad and repetitive these cartoons were in the 80s. Horrible production values, terrible writing, and annoying catch-phrases. And yet I managed to be too dumb to know better.

I think this is safe only for cartoon characters; they have writers making sure roundhouse punches miss their mark.

The weirder thing is, the Zelda cartoon in the video linked had only 13 episodes. So he was using this phrase multiple times per episode.

"I'm sorry, but your princess is in another castle." "Well, excuuuse me, princess!" "I'm sorry, but your princess is in another castle." "Well, excuuuse me, princess!" "I'm sorry, but your princess is in another castle." "Well, excuuuse me, princess!" "I'm sorry, but your princess is in another castle." "Well, excuuuse me, princess!" "I'm sorry, but your princess is in another castle." "Well, excuuuse me, princess!" "I'm sorry, but your princess is in another castle." "Well, excuuuse me, princess!" The worst thing about the 80s is that it only lasted 10 years.

I've never seen CSI, but I used to like Caruso a bit. Is he really that godawful in the whole show? Good heavens.

By: LooseFilter

LooseFilter — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 08:57:17 -0800

Is he really that godawful in the whole show? Yes. But he's so over the top bad that it almost makes it back around to good.

By: papercake

papercake — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 09:17:51 -0800

I can't tell if Caruso knows he's overacting and is doing it on purpose, or if he thinks he's being a Master Thespian. But you also have to lay some of the blame on the god-awful writing: "The verdict is in... but the jury is still out." YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Apparently the phrase is pretty popular. I had a false memory of Han Solo saying it, but I guess he didn't go all the way.

Ha, this is awesome. I used to watch this and the Mario cartoon when I was a kid. About three years ago, I said it to one of my friends, but couldn't for the life of me remember where I got it from.

Whoa, that Bruce Lee clip is something else isnt it? The guy is both nervous and confident, the disembodied voice is perfect, and the old white guy they drag out to be his partner was ready to wet himself. Bruce's moves are just so uncannily machine-like. Its amazing how fast he was. Wow, what a nice find. It says a lot on more than a few levels.

I just feel that the FPP didn't get the real gist of it. It's more like: Ex-cayuuuuuse meee. Gotta make it come from the throat.

By: absalom

I think I saw the Bruce Lee clip some time ago on Digg or MoFi or something and, yeah, it would have made an awesome FPP post. I got the impression that the screen test director and old guy just sort of don't really understand what they're filming, and I love watching Lee in his badass pedant mode.
