teven Quincy Urkel, generally known as Steve Urkel or simply Urkel, is a fictional character on the ABC/CBS sitcom Family Matters, portrayed by Jaleel White. Urkel is known for his wild antics, silly costume and the "Urkel dance".
Steve had many catchphrases and running gags, several of which were phased out in later seasons. "Did I do that?" is the most popular catchphrase; usually uttered after
Steve caused one of his famous messes.
Steve would also say, "At least no one got hurt", after a major accident occurred, after which someone else would usually shout "Not yet!" and chase
Steve. Other catchprases include:
"Got any
cheese?"
"I'm wearin' you down baby. I'M WEARIN' YOU DOWWWN!!" and "You love me, don't you?" said when Laura showed the slightest interest in
Steve
"Look what you did!", when someone caused a mess or accident in front of him, though frequently the accident was indirectly caused by
Steve. (For example, by his insisting that someone push the button to something, or by his knocking that person down.)
"I don't have to take this! I'm going home!" when Carl was mad at
Steve for something and demanded Steve go home.
