This is a list of catchphrases found in the works of Hanna-Barbera. A catchphrase is are short phrase or expressions that are recognized by it repeated utterance. These are a staple in various Hanna-Barbera cartoons (mainly their TV series), with many being associated with one character after they are said numerous times. Because of their repeatable nature, some have become a recognizable part of pop culture.
Scooby-Doo
| Catchphrase | Character | Media source | First appearance | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| "Zoinks!" | Shaggy Rogers | Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! | 1969 | Said by Shaggy as an exclamation, usually when he is scared or surprised. The word is similar to the words "yikes" and "yoicks". |
| "Jinkies!" | Velma Dinkley | Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! | 1969 | Synonymous with Velma's character, as in her signalling an important clue that has emerged. It is also used by her as an exclamation. |
| "Jeepers!" | Daphne Blake | Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! | 1969 | Said by Daphne when startled or finds a clue. It was originally a euphemism for Jesus, dating as early as 1927.[1] |
| "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" | Scooby-Doo | Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! | 1969 | A phrase mostly uttered by Scooby - commonly at the end of an episode. It is usually said in a joyful or celebratory tone, but Scooby has also shown to say it more seriously on occasion. |
| "Rikes!" | Scooby-Doo | Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! | 1969 | As with most of the gang's catchphrase, Scooby says this when he is shocked or frightened. Because of Scooby's unique speech patterns - which substitutes almost all consonants with an "R" sound - this is his attempt to say "Yikes!" |
| "(It) looks like we've got another mystery on our hands." | Fred Jones | Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! | 1969 | Fred says this (or a variation thereof) to signal that another case has yet to be uncovered. Later on in the film Scooby-Doo! and the Samurai Sword, he admits not having having one when the rest of the gang say their unique catchphrases after being surprised. |
| "Let's split up, gang!" | Fred Jones | Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! | 1969 | Fred says this to signal the gang to solve their case individually or in separated groups. This phrase was also said by other characters in nearly every Scooby-Doo imitation that Hanna-Barbera did, namely Josie and the Pussycats, Jabberjaw, and Speed Buggy. |
| "Hold the phone!" | Fred Jones | Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated | 2010 | While Fred originally didn't have a repeated phrase similar to those from the gang, it wouldn't be until years later in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated that he says this phrase, usually at a moment when he discovers a mystery (much like Velma when she says "Jinkies!". Frank Welker mentioned in an interview that he ad-libbed the phrase.[2] |
| "Puppy Power!" | Scrappy-Doo | Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo | 1979 | Frequently uttered by Scrappy as a battle cry before running towards the villain. It was ad-libbed by Frank Welker during his failed audition for the role. Joseph Barbera thought that it could be the next "Yabba-Dabba-Doo".[3] |
| "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!" | Various | Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! | 1969 | This is said by various villains that the gang encounter, after they uncover their crimes. While the phrasing of this exact quote has varied by the villain in question, an early version of the line was said by Big Bob Oakley in the Where Are You! episode, "A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts", when he complains "Yes, I'd have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for these blasted kids and their dog!" However, in "Scooby's Night with a Frozen Fright", the gang were first referred to as "meddling kids" by Professor Wayne. |
