Good times!

[hawkida]

I don't write much here these days, do I? Must fix that.

So, here's a query. I'm hearing the phrases "good times", "bad times" and "sadface" a lot of late. Why? Do they come from some TV show or something?

True, there's probably a trigger that surges popularity. Though these things are all older than we think. The "Not!", for instance, I was startled to run across when I was reading "Pigs is Pigs", which dates from 1905.

I thought that was made popular by Waynes World though. Or was that just reflecting an expression from a more localised culture that became more mainstream as a result?
