I’m fuckin’ sick of this joke. Fred said a catchphrase, that being “Hold the phone!” Maybe not as much as the others, but he still fuckin’ had one. You braindead stalactite-suckers just couldn’t remember it because it wasn’t a made-up word. You goddamned phonies.

Earlier incarnations suggest that Fred’s catchphrases are something similar to “Another mystery solved”, “Let’s split up” or “looks like we have a(nother) mystery on our hands”. Later on, in Scooby-Doo! and the Samurai Sword, he miserably admits that he still doesn’t have one when the rest of the gang say their unique catchphrases after being being surprised. Since then, however, he has been known to say “Hold the phone.” (Scooby-Doo! Haunted Holidays, Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon). This was adapted from his Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated counterpart, Fred Jones, Jr., which was adlibbed by Frank Welker.* Frank Welker adlibbed Fred’s catchphrase, “Hold the phone.”[11]

Here’s your fuckin’ proof you goddamned maniacs. He had more catchphrases than anyone. They just weren’t made-up gibberish.
