What makes a Catchphrase Good or Annoying? Also; Happy Pi Day, Everyone!!!

So we're watching Cyberchase, and Inez says "this is not good. This is not good at all!" and Penguin says "I've heard her say that so many times. I think it's a catchphrase." and I'm all "Well of course it's a catchphrase" and I start thinking, Her catchphrase is super annoying. But Digit's [Yoikes!] is awesome. Why? So here's a list of the qualities of good and bad catchphrases. :-)

  • "Got it memorized?"
  • "Curse you, Perry the platypus"
  • "The same thing we do every night, Pinky: Try to take over the WORLD!!!!!"
  • "eso es!!"
  • "Elementary, my dear Watson"
  • "What's up, doc?"
  • "oh, bother"
  • "Oh, d-d-d-d-d-d-deeeaaaarrr!"
  • "Tee-aye-double guh-urr! That spells Tigger"
  • "TTFN! Ta-ta for now!"
  • "Directive?"
  • "Foreign contaminant"
  • "I'm Junie B. Jones. The 'B' stands for Beatrice, only I don't like Beatrice, I just like the B and that's all."
  • "Hello, how are you? I am fine, only..."
  • "Okie dokie lokie"
  • "'Oh, you know what I mean.' 'I do.'"
  • "Aw, phooey"
  • "Hey! What's the big idea?"
  • "At my old school, we never ___"
  • "According to my research..."
  • "Wait.. Isn't this the police station?"
  • "Consider it done."
  • "Random Person: Aren't you a little [Blank #1] to be doing [Blank #2]? Phineas/Candace/Whoever: Why yes, yes I/we am/are."
  • "To the creature rescue!"
  • "Free and in the wild"
  • "Aa-aaAAAAApppleloosa"
  • "As if!"

A one-word catchphrase is one that is thrown into other phrases, like Applejack's "sugar cube", not a whole phrase, but used very often by the character.

One word catchphrases:

  • "Darling"
  • "Thrilling!"
  • "Sugar cube"
  • "Yoikes"
  • "Gawrsh"
  • "Ahyuck"


So. Bad catchphrases:
  • Long
  • Repetitive
  • Wordy
  • Doesn't make sense for the character
  • Doesn't make sense for the world
  • Used in bad context (This is the worst one for me, and hurts catchphrases such as "as if" and "ahyuck")(Don't get me started on Ahyuck)
  • Unmemorable
  • Slow
Good catchphrases:
  • Makes sense for the character
  • Makes sense for the world
  • Quick (Not necessary)
  • Unique
  • But not too unique
  • Used in good context
  • Memorable
  • Makes sense for the type and genre of the media (e.g. a closing remark of a kids' tv show)
  • Funny (not necessary)
(Last edited: St. Patty's day last year. Let's get this out by its anniversary?)

Catchphrases are often used along with a specific gesture ("Got it memorized?" "Eso es!!") or meter ("Tee-aye-double-guh-rrr", "Free and in the wild") which also affects the oodness of the catchphrase, for example, a full body motion won't fit well in all scenarios, and a slow meter will take a long time and that is one reason why "this is not good. this is not good at all" doesn't work: it is meant to be used in contexts of an immediate threat, but the time it takes to say it all feels wrong as it will detract from the time you have to come up with a solution.

"What did the goofy say when he crossed the street?"
"Ahyuck?"
"He said a-hyuck!!"
-taking a break from playing EM2 to recharge the wiimotes, so Penguin (as ... Mickey? I think?) told me (as Oswald? unless it's the other way around lol i don't feel like digging around) a "joke".

BTW--- finished Feb fifth, set to publish on St. Patty's Day
SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTT
I DIDN'T HIT PUBLISH SO IT DIDN'T POST ON ST PATTY'S
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Oh come on. I hit publish now (4/2/17) and it posts it on 3/17?????? What even? Ugh.

UPDATE: Penguin sent me this rebuttal:
"Aren't you a little young to be doing ___?" "Yes. Yes we are." Is a
good catchphrase though because although it's awkward after the first
episode (and makes sense in the context of the first episode [two
little boys just ordered enough steel to make a citywide roller
coaster] and should in other episodes if it wasn't made clear that the
kids are well known now and shouldn't be questioned), it's made into a
well done in-show trope because it is constantly subverted and joked
with (construction worker: "aren't you a little young to-" other
construction worker: "yes, yes they are. Sorry, Phineas, he's new.";
"aren't you kids too young for a haunted house?" Kids screaming in
terror: "YES! YES WE ARE!!"; etc)

Ok, fair point; in my defense I haven't really watched much Phineas and Ferb, and I haven't watched those episodes. She also said that this was a really good post!! :-) thanks bro.

Kingdom Hearts Vs. Kingdom Hearts II

I can't make a two-column comparison or anything so.

First we'll talk about individual mechanics, then broader things compared game to game. I'm bored so let's add Days and Re:Coded and CoM.
Spoilers will be marked like this. There shouldn't be spoilers for games other than the one that the section is about, and 1 and 2 but. Y'know. Also: be wary of pics and vids; they are likely to be spoilery! Check the words first, and then proceed. :-)

Funny story: I just watched an "Unpopular KH Opinions" video, and like 80% of the points were my legitimate feelings? And about half of them seemed like actual, popular things? So? Idk?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPhWDqqSe3Y
1: Trinity marks are good } Heck yes bruh
2. Manga is better than game } In it's own way, sure
3. Destiny Islands is boring. } NO way. But I have seen people who think this; and I can understand this.
4. Hundred Acre Wood is best part of game. Love unwinding with Pooh and co. } No; but when I was younger this was too true for words.
5. Combat system is bad } N.. I haven't really thought about it, but I don't think so.
6. Cloud looks better in this than FFVII } Idk.
7. Riku's progression to villain was too rushed } I could see that. But. I don't like Riku regardless. So.
8. Picking sword/shield/staff didn't seem to matter by end, they should make it matter more in future installments for replayability } This is true. The first part anyway. Idk if it should make a difference later though.
9. Only good thing about gummi ships is customizing; flying is tedious, and timewasting } I disagree with this; but in my experience, this is actually a popular opinion.
10. Kairi was meaningless } Uh-huhhh. Sure.
11. While summons look cool, but almost never use them. } Yep. Except Tinkerbell.
12. Neverland worse than Atlantica; flying mechanic was bad } No. No no.
13. Swimming and Atlantica were great } Definitely not. No one thinks that.
14. Magic system was clunky and bad } Maybe. But I still like Aero.
15. Story peaked at this game; simplest plot } Oh yes
16. Ice Titan hardest boss; Sephiroth easy once you know his pattern } haha nope. Even if the second part were true, the "hardest boss" would have to be the Phantom. You can just block for most of the Ice Titan fight.
17. Too simple; characters seem like lazy stereotypes. Fixed in later games. } Nah. Inverted. Mostly. Yeah.
All in all I think they mixed up what video they were doing.

I Like Fresh Air, Offense, and Other Dumb Subjects... Oh! No, Those are Different Topics, not Things I Like. I Don't Like Offense. Just to be Clear.

Which is why I don't think I could fly in a plane.

Today, Penguin had a really short fuse. I asked what she was turning on.
"Phineas and Ferb"
"Why are you watching that?" (Okay, I admit, I may have made it sound slightly mean, but not enough to justify the intensity of her reaction:)
"Why do you care?! You always have to shove it in my face that "I'm obsessed" but it's offensive!"
"Why don't you answer my questions?"
"Because I like it!!"

I'm going to Write a Bunch of Posts to Publish Throughout November

Because I'll be busy with NaNoWriMo then!!!




Or, I was, but then I didn't finish my 100th post which turned into my 101st post, but whatever.

Go here to get your own dare. :-) I dare you.

Ok, Pupplez, you are not watching Brother Brother Time season 2 finale until you get to 3000 words. >:-| I mean it. But I did watching "Inside Out" and OH MY GOSH it was awesome I'm leaving before I waste all of my writing energy on this. :-) bye

(BTW, I recommend actually watching season one first, and not just watching "what happened... in 80 sec". Especially watch "Thanksgiving's Weak End". It's perfect.)
