I know this will reveal my age group but I remember watching Laugh-in on live TV and the 'Very interesting... but ______' catchphrase of Arte Johnson's German soldier had LOTS of variety -- sometimes you'd see him several times in one show and the final word would be different each time.

Agree! And as a catchphrase, I recall using "Verrry interesting!" by itself. Preferably with a German accent.

Agree with both of these. In fact, I watched the episode where Billy Graham guest starred. At the end of the show he recited John 3:16 from the bible. Arte came on and said, "Very interrresting...and very true. Think about it."

I was sort of relieved to see this comment. So it wasn't just me. One I seem to remember is, "Verrry interesting...but obnoxious."

I remember my older sister having ~5-year-old me act like Arte Johnson's "Wolfgang" for a "talent" show we put on for our parents, so it's possible that's where that came from.

Anyway, this was fun. I remembered more from the 60s than I thought I would.

Funny how I got the best results from this one out of the different decade catchphrase quizzes and I was born in the 80's. It's probably because I don't live in the U.S. and these are more historical.

First of the Catchphrase tests I get at least one point so far. I count this as a win.

Wow I was born in the 90's but got all of these with two minutes to spare. I guess all these phrases have become part of American culture over the years.

How did I do so much better on this than 90s and 2000s, when I grew up in them and didn't even exist in the 70s? I guess I'm just retro

I thought the line from The Graduate was “are you trying to seduce me Mrs Robinson?”

Could be wrong…

Didn't John Lennon originate the phrase, "Give peace a chance"? According to the internet (which is never wrong) ;) - The phrase "give peace a chance" had come spontaneously to Lennon while answering a reporters question at a "bed-in," Lennon and Ono's way to protest war and promote peace by staying in bed all day.

That's always been my understanding (and I was sort of around in those days). The subsequent song at one point was originally attributed to Lennon and McCartney but it was really a Lennon song.
