The catchphrase game

[Muizer]

No, getting colder.

Hint: it ends with an exclamation mark

[paleologos]

"Incredible but True"

[Muizer]

"Incredible but True"

No

[paleologos]

On second thought it is more likely to be "That's Incredible!"

[Muizer]

Nope

[Sar1n]

At this point, all I can think of are dirty jokes about fingering a hole.

[Kilo11]

Is the answer possibly just the Takei gif of "Oh, my!"

[Muizer]

I guess this isn't going to be guessed. Point is Paleologos' for getting closest.

The catchphrase is "I don't believe it!" from the British comedy series "One foot in the grave"

I am completely at loss on how the image could have taken us there.

Perhaps from "incredulity" to "I don't believe it" was too much of a leap, though paleo got close on several occasions. I suppose he just didn't know/ find the catchphrase.

[Kilo11]

Ah, I know that catchphrase (but only obliquely, through Father Ted). However, I would definitely not have gotten there from the image. Either way, interested to see what paleo comes up with!

[paleologos]

...

I know of very few British comedic shows: Mr Bean, Faulty Towers, Yes Minister/PM, Monty Python.
If something is not internationally known then it's obscure to a large chunk of a shrinking player pool.

Giving an answer that matched the hint of the painting (The Incredulity of Saint Thomas) and the hints you gave (TV show / ending in exclamation mark) was the best I could do.


Ok, I hope this one will be easy.

Well I'm Dutch and the series is British so it is internationally known (Bad) joking aside, it is a regular in "top British catchphrases" lists.

This one:
"May the force be with you"?

[paleologos]

Auntie mak is correct and has the ground.
Has that one been posted before?

Nice catch from Mak. I think that has been posted before, but I guess it doesn't matter since it's been a while. Coming up with a catchphrase seems to be hard to many (and it certainly is to me), so I think we shouldn't stress too much about it. I think my recent shiny metal ass one has been here a year or two ago, too.

The main thing is that it makes a good riddle that is not excessively hard to figure out.

[makanyane]

Might be too easy - definitely a 'groan' when you get it

[Muizer]

Like two peas in a pod ?

[Septentrionalis]

Haha, brilliant!

[makanyane]

Is correct
