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 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."
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.
I'm a child of the '60s but I never heard "visualize world peace" back in those days. Visualize wasn't a catch phrase at all in that time period. I googled it, and the article I read said it began in the 1980s. http://peacevision.org/origins.html
I agree with ander217. Quizmaster, can you produce documentation showing the use of Visualize World Peace before the 1980's? I cannot find any earlier reference. I lived through the period and never heard that exact quote until many years later. Of course, the Swinging Sixties were all about peace & love but the quote itself is of a later vintage.
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.
