Can you guess which shows and/or people/characters they came from?

I got a surprisingly large number of these -- especially considering how
little TV I watch.
> - "You're fired!"
Long before The Apprentice (which I have never watched) there was "The
Great Muppet Caper" -- a movie my autistic daughter pretty much
memorized. "You're fired!" was her favorite line to use when someone
upset her. Her Dad and I were fired multiple times, as well as her
teacher. When the "You're fired!" T-Shirts came out I wanted to get her one.
> - "You've got spunk ..."
"...and I hate spunk."

Oh, I remember the Excedrin ad with the pounding piano. Was apt to give you
a headache, causing you to need the Excedrin! ;-)

"Car 54, where aarre yoouu??" (another self-explanatory one)
"...Khrushchev's due at Idlewild..." - also the "Car 54" theme song, but 2
words in one tiny phrase that date it so well!

"Try it, you'll like it. Try it, you'll like it. I tried it. Thought I
was gonna die."
By the way, if you want a blast from the past: the Underdog theme song.
Note the full orchestra and chorus - they really knew how to do schlocky
cartoons in those days:

Was "I'd walk a mile for a Camel" in there?
or "LSMFT: Lucky Strikes means fine tobacco?"
or "Come alive! You're in the Pepsi generation?"
