“And the kid said, ‘Whatchu talkin’ ’bout,'” he added, referring to Coleman, only 10-years-old at the time. “It was written, ‘What are you talking about, Willis?'” show writer Benn Starr told the Television Academy Foundation. It all came from a spur of the moment decision - a fated, experimental line read based on actorly instinct. When presented with confusing or unfortunate information from his older brother, Arnold would frown and loudly and speedily quip, “Whatchu talkin’ ’bout, Willis?” The audience would react with delight and uproarious applause, and the line entered the pantheon of all-time great catchphrases.
By far, the most popular and enduring element “Diff’rent Strokes” unleashed into the popular culture was the catchphrase uttered countless times by star Gary Coleman as sassy kid Arnold Jackson.
