Family guy steals? NEVER!

And "The Simpsons" wasn't using them too much? Some of the Simpsons catch phrases are still being used as jokes in the new movie. I'm not trying to defend one show or another, but just saying that all shows have their reused jokes.

And to all you people complaining about "Family Guy" having certain jokes that are re-used such as the "It's like the time when...", take yourself back to when "The Simpsons" was young and think of these phrases, "Do'h", "Eat My Shorts", "Don't have a cow, man", "Hi Everydbody!", etc. These catch phrases were constantly reused in the height of the show's popularity(and some are still used) just to get a cheap chuckle. Actually out of all the catchphrases you posted there, if you go back and watch the early episodes their not used that often, probally the most used one there is D'oh! and that was used once or twice every other episode. There's a difference between having caracter catchphrases (which almost EVERY tv show has) and using the same old tired jokes all the time, about 20 times every episode.

Scratch the catchphrases. Here's some more repetetive stuff that the simpsons purists tend to forget. And this is only a few... Homer choking Bart, Lisa having a crush that never works out, Itchy & Scratchy, Kursty's commercials about the unhealthy food, etc etc
