About This Quiz

Look, we all know these lines. You've probably said "Eat my shorts!" or "Come on down!" at least once in your life without even thinking about it.

That's the thing about great TV catchphrases — they just stick with you. Whether it's something that made you laugh as a kid or a line you still quote with your friends today.

Some made us laugh. Others became part of everyday conversation. A few are still quoted decades later.

But here's the real test: Can you actually match each iconic phrase to its show? It's harder than you think.

Time to prove you're the ultimate TV fan. No looking at your streaming queue for help!
