I think we would be better off creating an article about the phrases Chris repeats endlessly, and then noting which ones he copied from TV. Covers more bases.--Beat 14:20, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- Not all of those are repeated endlessly, though. --Wtv 15:36, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
This isn't a totally bad idea for an article, but isn't this something that could be included in List of things Chris has ripped off? Also, when you make an article, please try to use proper capitalization and whatnot. --Champthom 15:03, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry. I think this deserves it's own article, because there is a lot of examples for this (they just need to be listed). I wouldn't call it ripping off something per se either, since it's perfectly natural to do this from time to time, it's just that chris does it a lot. --Wtv 15:36, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
The "Grinds my Gears" phrase comes from an episode where Peter uses the phrase and becomes the "Grinds my Gears" guy, so half of an episode was devoted to Peter saying a catchphrase. --Anaconda 15:33, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- If that's not a reason to hate family guy, I don't know what is.--Beat 16:12, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- If I remember correctly, Seth MacFarlane also said that was a phrase he ripped off from John Candy in "Plains, Trains and Automobiles". So, it's a rip-off of a rip-off.

Renaming
Aside for correcting this for grammar, I think others have suggested this be given a more generic title, as television would be too narrow, not to mention I don't want to see things like "List of phrases Chris has copied from video games," "List of phrases Chris has copied from movies," "List of phrases Chris has copied from his parents," etc. Is "List of phrases Chris has copied" grammatically correct (I'm looking at you, Apostrophe)?
On an aside, the format is shit, needs something along the lines of Minor CWC-isms. --Champthom 21:13, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I didn't think about that when creating. I've suggested this on /cwc/ and I agree "List of phrases chris has copied" works for me. Sorry about the grammar, I'm german. I did look at the minor cwc-isms article when creating this one and debating how to set it up but I think this is kind of hard to group alphabetically. but I guess I'll mess with it a bit. --Wtv 22:46, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
