      Sherlock Holmes’ “catchphrase”, for lack of a better term, is “Elementary, my dear Watson”, which is parodied in this comic.

        Fun fact though, Sherlock never actually says these phrases together. He does say “Elementary” and “… my dear Watson” but not together.

        But really this is just an “akchtually” comment

          To akchtually your akchtually… He doesn’t say it in the original books, but he has been saying in secondary sources for over a 100 years. So I don’t think people are wrong in saying that it’s his catch phrase.

            I’d like to think of an akchtually to your akchtually but I actually can’t think of anything to rebut with.
