What are your favourite catchprases from TV shows, either past or present?

Mine would have to be "You stupid boy!", said by Captain Mainwaring to the bumbling Private Pike in most Dad's Army episodes. This would happen both at the Home Guard Meetings, and at the bank where Mainwaring was the Manager and Pike the Office Boy. Dad's Army may have been made nearly 40 years ago, and set more than 60 years ago, but is still one of the funniest shows ever in my opinion.

One that maybe doesn't count as a catchphrase, but that I love:
"You might very well think that, I couldn't possibly comment."

And a couple that definitely count:
"The same thing we do every night Pinky. Try to take over the world of course."
"Money on the fridge, wog."
 
"I love it when a plan comes together" (Hannibal, "The A-Team")

"The tribe has spoken" (Jeff Probst, "Survivor")

"Good night, John Boy" ("The Waltons")

"You rang?" (Lurch, "The Addams Family")

"Danger, Will Robinson" (Robot, "Lost in Space")

"De plane! De plane!" (Tattoo, "Fantasy Island")

"Book 'em, Danno" (Steve McGarrett, "Hawaii Five-O")

"Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" (Arnold Drummond, "Diff'rent Strokes")

"The only Gay in the village" (Daffyd in Little Britain)
 
So many good ones already in here. I'll have more to add later, but the one that jumped out at me, largely because of chaddles avatar:

"I'm Rick James, bitch" - Chapelle's Show
 
A few from Arrested Development:

"I've made a huge mistake." - mainly GOB, but assorted others
"Don't call it that." - Michael
"Her?" - mainly Michael, but assorted others
"C'MON!" - GOB
"Marry me!" - Mayby
"I'M A MONSTER!" - Buster
