Need an origin story for a classic Full House catchphrase? Well, you got it, dude!
While being honored during last weekend's taping of the TV Land Icon Awards, John Stamos revealed that his classic recurring line, "Have mercy," was all thanks to Happy Days creator and fellow Legend award winner, Garry Marshall.
"He always said, ‘Get a catchphrase, you need a catchphrase.' I'm not kidding you," Stamos explained during his acceptance speech. "The 'have mercy' thing came out of, 'Oh s**t, Garry told me I had to have a catchphrase."

Meanwhile, there's more mercy to be had, as Stamos has been seen out and about lately with his new girlfriend, model and actress Caitlin McHugh.
