Gilmore Girls (2000-2007) was written to be spoken at nearly double normal television speed -- scripts ran 75-80 pages against the usual 50-55 -- so its quotes are machine-gun banter rather than slogans. 'Oy with the poodles already' was constructed in-show as an attempt to invent a catchphrase, which is exactly what it then became. Luke's diner rants and Lorelai's coffee monologues remain the show's most-shared texts.
He has always been a cat person. He just never had a cat.
