OH, ROB ! The Dick Van Dyke Show

Shazam! and Surprise, surprise, surprise! came from Gomer Pyle, though when Neighbors was a guest star on the Andy Griffith show, he said these things as well.

As a bonus, the Huh? Yeah. Huh? Yeah. Huh? Yeah. Huh? YES! was also a gag performed on Andy Griffith by Jack Burns, who played a character named Warren. Warren was the 'huh?' and Andy was the 'yeah.' Finally, when he'd get completely exasperated, he would yell YES! at Warren and then he'd shut up. Pretty funny.

The poster under you got the first one correct: "I don't think so, Tim," was said to Tim Allen on Home Improvement by Richard Karn, who played Al, Tim's sidekick. I can remember so many times when Tim was going to do something stupid, and Al would say that. Among the funniest scenes on the show was when Tim souped up his garbage disposal to have MORE POWER, and then fed it a wooden broomstick. I was rolling! That had to be the funniest thing I ever saw. Feeding a broomstick down the garbage disposal.

Of course, later Tim proved to be a right wing-nut, and actually became a Trump supporter...geez. But his Home Improvement was hilarious even so.

Also, later publicized by The Ghoul, late night movie host. "Plunk your magic twanger OVERDAY, Froggy"


Of course, Froggy originated with Smilin' Ed McConnell whose program predated Andy's Gang until McConnell died. I watched both versions when I was a kid. They showed "Ramar of the Jungle" adventures, and yes, Froggy was an ever present menace. My sisters and I made fun of the Ramar episodes by calling them "Grandma of the Jungle".

"I don't talk trash, I talk smack. They're totally different."

"I'll occasionally hit someone with my car."

"fashion show, fashion show, fashion show at lunch"

"I declare Bankruptcy"

and my personal favorite--------

"I am not offended by homosexuality. In the sixties, I made love to many many women, often outdoors in the mud and rain. It's possible a man could've slipped in there. There'd be no way of knowing"

On Netflix now. I've probably seen each ep a dozen times. That's what she said is the most famous line from the show - spoken by the great Michael Scott. 😁

(Mash trivia)
Robert Altman, who directed "Mash" the movie, hated "Mash" the TV show, for some reason.
But his son must have loved Mash the TV show, because he was the one who wrote the theme song for the movie, (which was used in the TV show)...so he made a lot of money off the TV show's use of that theme.

I always enjoyed the "shame scene" at the end when the perpetrator would be filmed looking kind of sheepish for getting caught.

You sound ignorant. Second of all, you don't show up at a Springsteen show wearing a John Cougar Mellencamp t-shirt unless you want to get punched in the face.

The balance is perfect. The trigger responds to a pressure of one ounce. If you look carefully in the barrel you'll see
the lines of the rifling. It's a rarity in a hand weapon. This gun was handcrafted to my specifications and I rarely draw
it unless I mean to use it. Would you like a demonstration?"

In all my life I've only seen a dozen real killers, but I've seen ten thousand people that would stand by
and let it happen. Which is the greater evil?"

"..., and was killed in shooting accident."

For some reason I know the dialog in that episode virtually word for word.

Here's another hint:

"No dear, THIS is the dream, you're still in the cell."
