Often the catchphrase does not elicit laughter though. "Nice to be here, to be here nice" was never supposed to be funny. Would it have been funny, had humour been intended?

It was never funny that, except in some post-modern ironic way to idiots. 'Spitting Image' got it right when they had a rubber foam Brucie saying, "Here is my catchphrase... my catchphrase is HERE!".

Always preferred Brucie's little rhyme on 'Play Your Cards Right'...

"I'm the leader of the pack
Which makes me such a lucky Jack
Here they are they're so appealing
Come on dollies, do your dealing!"

(Upon introducing the 'Dolly Dealers', i.e. a bunch of skimpily-clad failed actresses bringing on the playing cards for no good reason other than to get Dads excited.)

Here's another.
I can't quite remember exactly what the show was called, I only remember his intro

And he sang:

All the biggest stars of the stage & screen
Look into my eyes and they have to come clean
Wanna do the show cos they've gotta be seen...
with the indisputable irrefutable Bruuuciiie
King of the talk shoooow.

"And a big hand for my first guest, ladies and gentleman, Mr Kenny Lynch...!"

I once tried to make my own Pavlov's Dog, but it ran off and left meringue all over the kitchen.

Pavlovian dogs also make dandy dashboard ornaments.

Is that dog ornament lovingly crafted out of that rare white variety of dog turd?

You know how to whistle, don't you?

Nope.

Put your lips together and blow.

"It was Brucie of course who became famous with his many catch-phrases, such as 'Nice to see you, to see you, nice' and 'What do you mean a wig, a wig, what mean you do?'"

...sorry! But it's not often you get an opportunity to quote that. ^^;
