Since 1975, Saturday Night Live has provided us with some of the best and most iconic catchphrases that have become a part our pop culture lexicon.

In honor of SNL's 40th birthday, which VH1 Classic is currently celebrating with its "SNL Rewind: 2015-1975 Mega Marathon," here are the 20 best catchphrases throughout the years.
