Character Catchphrases are a great and simple way to help a character's image. But sometimes, catchphrases don't stick. Perhaps the writers were experimenting with one early on, but eventually decided against it. Or perhaps a catchphrase was done to death and is no longer funny. Or sometimes, a character simply evolves and the catchphrase no longer fits the character. Whatever the reason, this trope is whenever an early catchphrase is dropped or becomes used seldom. This is a catchphrase specific sub-trope of Early-Installment Weirdness, and frequently a result of Characterization Marches On and Character Development. The closest inverse to this would be Flanderization (wherein a character's catchphrase acts as a quirk that takes over their personality). Unrelated to Subverted Catchphrase. |

Happy Days: Chachi's catchphrase was "Wa, wa, wa!" in his early appearances on the show. Thankfully dropped as he grew up. The show also stopped having characters say "sit on it!" after the fifth season. |

Adventure Time used to have some but almost never used them after the first season: The most famous and yet not used anymore is the Title Drop (Jake asking "What time is it?" with Finn answering "ADVENTURE TIME!"). During its short run it was played straight at first, then parodied ("Party Time!", "Lauch Time"), subverted ("You know what time it is?" "...Adventure Time?") and even referenced in Futurama ("Time for you to shut up!"). Finn used to say "Mathematical!" and "Algebraic!" (a leftover from the Pilot Episode) but it was quickly forgotten. It is very unlikely to ever come back, especially after the Companion Show called Mathematical! was cancelled due to a controversy over its open discussion of the Homoerotic Subtext readings of "What Was Missing". Finn's "Mathematical" was given a Call-Back in "The Wild Hunt". |

Homestuck's Vriska Serket often went on about how people were "bugging and fussing and meddling" with her in Act 5 Act 1. Outside of one mention in Act 5 Act 2, the catchphrase is dropped, largely because the Phrase Catcher, Kanaya, stopped talking to Vriska due to romantic shenanigans. | |

In Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, Team Rocket's A Twinkle in the Sky Running Gag is replaced by a wild Bewear coming in to rescue them (a rescue that Team Rocket aren't keen to, for the most part). And thus, they rarely get to use their "We're blasting off agaaaaiiin!" cry ever since, replacing it with "We're off with a new blaaaaaaast!" | |

Hellboy In the beginning of the comic, the big guy would spot off "Well, that's all for you!" and variations after giving a monster a beatdown. This was later dropped and "Aw, Crap" would be the closest Hellboy would have for a catchphrase. | |

Victor Meldrew's pained cry of "I don't believe it!" in One Foot in the Grave was extremely popular with the audience but the writers and the actor who played Meldrew, Richard Wilson, were sick of it and so its use was toned down. Not completely abandoned, however, as it did still pop up in later episodes. | |

CSI: NY: In at least three episodes of Season 1, Mac says while interrogating suspects, "Let me start this story for you." Danny also does it once in an obvious attempt to emulate his boss. Fortunately, the writers dropped it before it became annoyingly redundant. | |

The Simpsons: Bart changed his catchphrase several times in the first three or so seasons. He has used "Eat my shorts", "Don't have a cow, man", "Ay Caramba", and when introducing himself "I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?" All have fallen out of favor to the point that the former three have without a doubt been made fun of by the show far more times by now than they were ever used unironically. Back in the earliest Tracy Ullman shorts, Homer would frequently cap off an adventure by saying "Let's all go out for frosty chocolate milkshakes!" This was dropped shortly after the full series debuted, though it occasionally surfaces when the writers poke fun at the early days of the show. The last serious use was in "Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk", in Bart's Imagine Spot. Not entirely abandoned but Homer's most frequent catchphrases "D'oh" and "Woohoo!" are used very rarely in the later seasons. "Underachiever and proud of it" was a common T-shirt slogan, but never something that Bart actually said (it's a comment made about him in "Bart Gets an F"). Lampshaded in "Skinner's Sense of Snow": Bart finds this line written in his student records and asks, "How old is this thing?" "Krusty Gets Busted," the first episode to revolve around Krusty the Clown, shows that his catchphrase on TV is "I didn't do it!", a line associated with him to the point where saying it in earnest to protest his innocence after being framed for a crime nets a big laugh from onlookers. After that episode, the phrase wasn't used in connection with Krusty again and instead became associated with Bart, to the point where an entire episode ("Bart Gets Famous") revolved around Bart being subject to Memetic Mutation after he blurted it out while appearing in a sketch on Krusty's show. (It's probably worth noting that the phrase is used completely differently by the two characters: for Bart it's a go-to in moments where Implausible Deniability is called for, where Krusty emphasizes the first word to turn the blame on his audience after their demands have subjected Sideshow Bob to yet another comical indignity.) |

Full House: Stephanie's catchphrases during the early seasons were "How rude!" "Well pin a rose on your nose" and "Hot dog." She dropped these as she got older. Although as a Call-Back to her childhood she starts saying "How rude!" again in Fuller House as an adult. Michelle has many cute catchphrases as a child ( "You got it dude!" "Aw nuts" "You're in big trouble, mister!" etc.) but, like her sister, she eventually drops them when she gets older. Kimmy said to DJ "I LOVE the way your mind works!" in several early episodes; however, after being promoted to a regular cast member, this attempted catchphrase was dropped, not appearing again until a late episode of the final season. |

Looney Tunes: Justified with Daffy Duck due to his change of personality over the years. In his early hyperactive days he would often yell "Woo hoo-hoo-HOO-hoo-hoo!" while bouncing around like a maniac. He would later drop this once the writers changed his character from a Cloudcuckoolander to an egotistical loser. His main catchphrase became "You're despicable!", though the original laugh pops up when he gets a Character Check or a Character Rerailment. | |

Beavis And Butthead: Beavis' catchphrase of saying "Fire! Fire! Fire!" was abandoned because of Executive Meddling, as the show was scapegoated for a real-life mobile home fire. Writers would attempt to work around this by having Beavis say similar-sounding words like "Fryer! Fryer! Fryer!", and he got to say it again in Beavis And Butthead Do America and the 2011 revival. | |

My Little Pony: My Little Pony (G3): Rainbow Dash's catchphrase is "darling". Following the Core 7 soft reboot, she loses her British accent, receives a different personality, and changes her catchphrase to "how dashing!" My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In general, the first two seasons establish catchphrases for a few characters, such as Princess Celestia's "that's quite all right" and Twilight's "____, you're a genius!", which drop from use by the end of Season Two and are never used again afterwards. "Stare Master" establishes the Cutie Mark Crusaders as using "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS [INSERT PROFESSION HERE], YAY!", which they shout at the top of their lungs whenever they decide to pursue a new activity. It's used several times in this episode, and then never again. In "Feeling Pinkie Keen", Spike uses the catchphrase "Holy Guacamole!" twice, never heard before and after that episode. |

Naruto: In the English dub, the titular character often said "Believe it" in order to get past the Lip Lock due to his Japanese Verbal Tic (Dattebayo). By the Chūnin Selection Exams, he almost never used it. And by episode 100, it was completely gone except for a few jokes. Sakura had a habit of saying "Shannaro" ("Cha" in the English dub) when pumped or angry, especially in her inner monologues, but her Character Development involved her losing it. By Shippuden, she rarely says it. Her daughter Sarada inherited the catchphrase in Boruto. |

Fist of the North Star: One of the most notable elements is Kenshiro's line "You Are Already Dead," delivered to those due to explode. However, this catchphrase was only really around during the Southern Cross arc, and disappeared after Shin's death.

Wonder Woman: During Marston's run, Wonder Woman would say "Suffering Sappho!", but it fell out of use when Marston left the book. She had about a half dozen similar exclamations that lasted her throughout the Silver Age, though, including "Great Hera!", "Thunderbolts of Jove!", "Neptune's Trident!", and "Shades of Pluto!" Nowadays, she is more likely to say "Great Hera!" or "Holy Hera!" | |

In the Party Crashers' early Mario Party videos, Nick would sarcastically tell the others to "take their time" whenever they had to think about their next move. Nowadays, you'd be hard-pressed to find him saying this in any Mario Party session after the Party Crashers channel had been created, likely because Nick himself tends to take just as long (if not longer) to make up his decisions, something both him and Brent even lampshade in the Party Crashers Running Gag tier list video: | |

In Harry Potter, the titular character initially had the habit of saying 'Don't mention it' whenever he helped someone. It wasn't brought back past The Chamber of Secrets, when the series began to change directors and take on a harsher tone. Hagrid also lost "I shouldn't have said that" (and variations) for the same reason. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Captain America initially had a habit of saying, "I could do this all day" to reflect his stubbornness. He stops saying this after Captain America: Civil War, and in Avengers: Endgame, he's exasperated when he hears it uttered by his The Avengers-era self. However, as shown in Hawkeye and Ms Marvel, his adoring fans haven't forgotten it. | |

Tear Along the Dotted Line has the protagonist Zerocalcare constantly say "È andata così" ("It was bound to happen") as a sort of mantra against life's misfortunes. His friend Secco also always says "A me non me ne frega 'n cazzo. Annamo a pijà 'n gelato?" ("I don't give a shit. Can we go get some ice cream?") to the point of obsession. Come This World Can't Tear Me Down (not really a sequel, but it stars the same characters in the same settings) and Zero says his catchphrase just once in the whole season, while Secco stops before saying his sentence in full. | |

Early Phineas and Ferb episodes sometimes had Phineas say "How serendipitous!" Unlike the show's many, many other catchphrases, this one didn't stick. Also, as the series progressed, the "Aren't you a little young" gag was used less and less frequently, but the response to it "Yes. Yes, I am" or a variation thereof was used a lot. There's also Dr. Doofenshmirtz's early catchphrase: "Ah, Perry the Platypus! As usual, your presence/timing is un-[adjective]. And by un-[adjective] I mean COMPLETELY [ADJECTIVE]!" In later seasons, everything after "Ah, Perry the Platypus!" was dropped. |

Superman: In the early days of his comic, Jimmy Olsen would think "Super duper!" to himself when something went off well. It didn't last and has long since fallen into obscurity. Similarly, Superman doesn't say "Great Krypton!" all that much anymore except as the occasional Mythology Gag. During the Silver Age, Perry White used to frequently exclaim, "GREAT CAESAR'S GHOST!", to the point where it became the focal point of a story. He still uses it from time to time in the modern day, but it's nowhere near as common as before. |

The Loud House: Lily, the youngest of the Loud kids, was originally prone to pooping in her diaper and had a habit of saying "Poo-poo!" because of that.

Futurama: "I am already in my pajamas" is Professor Farnsworth's catchphrase for the first two episodes of the series, used as an excuse not to do anything and nap instead. For over twenty years, he never said it again, though he also never changes out of his pajamas for any reason. In Season 8, he ends up saying that line again in "How the West Was 1010001". There's a lampshaded example where Cubert deletes old catchphrases from Bender's hard drive, such as "This is gonna be fun on a bun!" There's a brief attempt to give Leela a catchphrase related to band names. In "A Tale of Two Santas", she says "This wangs chung," and in "Future Stock" she says "This toads the wet sprocket." However, the writers had trouble coming up with further variations on this. |

The first season of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? had the host recite the catchphrase "Is that your final answer?" after every single question. This was later shortened to "Final answer?", then to just "Final?". Two possible reasons for doing away with the original catchphrase: (1) Viewers got a little fatigued hearing the same phrase over and over again, (2) Regis Philbin, the original host, was getting more than a little sick of having people say the phrase to him everywhere — see also Never Heard That One Before. | |

The Fairly OddParents!: Timmy's Wild Card Excuse, "Uh... internet?", was phased out after the first few seasons. As of The New '10s, the joke would be incredibly outdated had it been kept, due to the wider spread of the Internet compared to the show's beginning. It was last used in "School's Out!: The Musical" after a small absence. Mr. Crocker stopped saying "FAIRY GODPARENTS!" after "Crock Talk" in season 7. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In general, the first two seasons establish catchphrases for a few characters, such as Princess Celestia's "that's quite all right" and Twilight's "____, you're a genius!", which drop from use by the end of Season Two and are never used again afterwards. "Stare Master" establishes the Cutie Mark Crusaders as using "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS [INSERT PROFESSION HERE], YAY!", which they shout at the top of their lungs whenever they decide to pursue a new activity. It's used several times in this episode, and then never again. In "Feeling Pinkie Keen", Spike uses the catchphrase "Holy Guacamole!" twice, never heard before and after that episode. |

Doctor Who: The Second Doctor had "I would like a hat like that" as a catchphrase for the first two or three stories. Then they dropped it. The Eleventh Doctor's "Geronimo!" is a downplayed case; he certainly mentions it most in his first season and it's one of his least recurring quirks. It does get a few nods later on, including "The Day of The Doctor." |

Pokémon: The Series: Early English dub episodes tried to translate Meowth's Japanese Verbal Tic (Nya) as "meow" or "Meowth". By the end of Kanto, they scrapped it. In Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, Team Rocket's A Twinkle in the Sky Running Gag is replaced by a wild Bewear coming in to rescue them (a rescue that Team Rocket aren't keen to, for the most part). And thus, they rarely get to use their "We're blasting off agaaaaiiin!" cry ever since, replacing it with "We're off with a new blaaaaaaast!" As a part of her Dub Personality Change, Misty lost her Japanese catchphrases in the English dub. She doesn't talk about being an "internationally known beauty" and she doesn't refer to her Pokémon as "beauties" and "steadies". This came back to haunt the dub twenty years later when an Alola episode featured Misty and Brock for the first time in a decade. It looks like Misty underwent a Girliness Upgrade, when in reality the script is just Truer to the Text. |

The Hero Cortez from TimeSplitters had a catchphrase, 'Time to Split' which he always loudly exclaims before shifting to another time. Viciously played upon in the third game, where this is met with blank stares and disbelief by his partners in time, sometimes causing Cortez to falter and just give up. It could be an example of Characterization Marches On, since the characters in TimeSplitters 2 were pretty one-dimensional, until Future Perfect, in which the characters actually have personalities and dialogue. | |

Sergeant Yates kept exclaiming "Jesus Christ Monkeyballs!" in his debut episode, but never in his subsequent appearances. "I want cheesy poofs!", "I'm not fat, I'm big-boned!", and especially "Screw you guys! I'm going home!" were popular catchphrases for Cartman in the early seasons but haven't been used in years. Stan's "Dude, this is pretty fucked up right here" and Cartman's "Respect my Authoritah", only being used for rare variations or throwbacks in later episodes. Sheila's "what-what-WHAAAT?!" was unused for years, only to come back for a dramedic ending in "Members Only." |

Veronica Mars: in the pilot, Sheriff Lamb had a habit of dressing people down with "you should have asked the Wizard for..." that he stopped doing in the series proper. | |

Penny's catch phrase in the first season of Happy Endings was "Ah-mazing!" She quietly dropped it on the second season, acknowledging that it was So Last Season... It's really more of a summer expression. | |

In early Homestar Runner cartoons, Strong Bad would say "Holy crap!" a lot, and just use the word "crap" pretty frequently. Eventually, the creators started to find this less and less funny, to the point where Strong Bad himself would groan in annoyance if people forced a "holy crap" or a "crapfully yours" or something like that into the emails they sent him. | |

After it showed up in the very first "Your Grammar Sucks" Jack started calling his followers "biches" (pronounced with a rough 'ch', like achtung), making it an early Character Catchphrase of his; but that tailed off after a few years. In a 2021 episode of "Jackask" he was asked if he really called his fans "biches", and he said it was just an old joke and he actually called them "subscribers". The headnote for the YGS Youtube playlist still says "The origin of BICHES". | |

Urusei Yatsura: Ataru's mother used to say "We never should have had him!" about Ataru. Sometimes she even yelled him to his face. Thankfully it was dropped after the earlier chapters. | |

Hey Arnold!: Played With. In "False Alarm", Eugene's catchphrase when injured is "I'm fine," but by the end of season one it's been changed to "I'm okay." | |

Family Guy: Back before Stewie Griffin's Characterization Marches On, he would frequently shout: "Victory is mine!" The first run had Lois give a catchphrase along the lines of "X is God's way of telling you that Y". Lois in the earlier seasons would often say "Chris that's a terrible word" when he said something she didn't like, this was abandoned when the series was revived. Certain examples have been Lampshaded in the show itself |

Zack Snyder's Justice League removes the moment from Justice League of Cyborg saying "Boo-Yah!" (his Character Catchphrase in Teen Titans (2003)). It also removes Lois Lane's ending recital of the famous "Look, Up In The Sky!" | |
