It's become a staple of media that characters will have catch phrases. But sometimes, the character himself just can't get it right. It could be a combination of many things, such as they could get distracted mid-quote, or perhaps they're out of practice. Or if it's an origin story for a well-established character, you may expect them to stumble over it the first few times they try to say it. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Often will appear in Hilarious Outtakes, though whether or not it is intentional or just a flubbing of the line attempting to say it right varies, but this trope only deals when it happens In-Universe. In a work where the common tropes tend to get deconstructed, you can expect to see this more than in one where they are played straight. Usually Played for Laughs, though sometimes it could signal a serious Out-of-Character Moment. Not to be confused with Mangled Catch Phrase for when an impostor is failing at it. Related to Borrowed Catch Phrase, when other characters take a turn at it (though only if they get it wrong). Compare to Subverted Catch-Phrase, when a character intentionally changes it up, Verbal Ticked for when something similar applies to a Verbal Tic, and Alternate Catchphrase Inflection where they get the words right but not the tone.

In The Incredible Hulk (2008), Bruce Banner tries to tell a bunch of thugs trying to intimidate him that they wouldn't like him when he's angry. The effect is a bit lost in translation. | |

Captain Jack Sparrow really only managed to get his catch phrase ("You will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!") out properly once, but that doesn't stop him from trying to utter it at every opportunity in the Pirates of the Caribbean series | |

In Looney Tunes: Back in Action, it forms a Brick Joke, with Porky Pig complaining about the studio telling him to fix his stutter in the first few minutes of the movie. At the end, he stutters so much he can't even get his usual "That's all, folks!" out, even as the lights go off around him. He ends up just having to grimace and say "Go home, folks." | |
