Channel 4 have been running an online voting forum aimed at discovering the top 50 Comedy catchphrases in order of popularity. The result of this vote will be transmitted later in the year on Channel 4 as part of a 120 minute special, looking at the great and the good on the comedy circuit and getting the background stories to those catchphrases that have slipped into our everyday useage, past and present.

For the series we started with a design more reflective of pop art and Lichenstein posters such as Whamm! etc. This soon developed into a landscape of posterised images of great comedy characters with phrases and expressive kinetic elements bounding into frame.

There is still a catchphrases quiz available for users to challenge their own knowledge of Britain's favourites.
