It's not the Palin-inspired, "You betcha!" but likely a line Fey came up with herself. We've overheard the phrase used 3 times in public already while unintentionally eavesdropping in New York City.
In the lastest episode of 30 Rock, Tina Fey has a one-liner she likes so much she uses it later on in the show as well. "I want to go to there," spoken with a robotic childlike intonation intentionally putting the accent on the wrong words in the phrase for comic effect while referring to something silly that inspires personal longing. It works when Tina does it, but the amateur impressionists are getting annoying. Here's the original (in the last 10 seconds of the clip):
For example, we heard it in a boutique in Brooklyn on Saturday:
Random Lady (referring to a handbag): Oh, look at that bag!
Random Lady's Lame Friend (walking toward the handbag in a faux trance): I want to go to there.
(Shared naughty giggling follows)
Bleck.
We hope this isn't going to sweep our nation of pop culture parrots. It's reminiscent of the nauseating Jim Carrey retort, "All righty then!" from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective when everyone attempted to reproduce this brand of sarcasm in agressive and obnoxious barks, constantly.
Please stop it. You're embarassing yourself.
