BOVVERED?
''Yeah but no but yeah but'' was yesterday (Mon) voted TV's funniest ever catchphrase.
The retort used by Little Britain's chav teenager Vicky Pollard came top of the poll of 3,000 adults beating Homer Simpson's ''Doh!'' into second place.
''Am I bovvered?'' from Catherine Tate's stroppy schoolgirl character Lauren was third.
Victor Meldrew's classic ''I don't belieeeve it'' complaint from One Foot in the Grave was fourth while Only Fools and Horses Del Boy Trotter's ''lovely jubbly'' completed the top five.
A spokesman for www.OnePoll.com, which carried out the poll, said: ''Vicky Pollard has gained quite a following since first appearing on our screens and you often hear people saying the phrase in real life.
''She has fans ranging from children who find her funny to adults who may remember people like that from their school days.
''A popular phrase can help a television show gain thousands of fans and makes it extremely memorable, even when it is no longer being shown.''
Little Britain favourite ''I'm a laydee'' came sixth, while Noel Edmond's famous question ''Deal or no Deal?'' from the Channel four game show was at seven.
''How you doin'?'', Joey Tribiani's pick-up line in American sitcom Friends was voted at number eight followed by Blue Peter's iconic, ''Here's one I made earlier.''
Another Little Britain saying ''I'm the only gay in the village'' completed the top ten.
Other popular televsion phrases included in the nation's top 20 include Chris Tarrant's ''Is that your final answer?'' from Who Wants To Be a Millionaire at 12 and Tommy Cooper's ''Just like that'' at 13.
Only Fools and Horses favourite ''You plonker'' was voted in to 17th place and Anne Robinson's ''You are the weakest link...goodbye'' was at 18.
