Excited Show Title!

""The exclamation point in the title scares me. Y'know, it's not just Freud, it's Freud!""

- Phoebe, Friends

Excited Show Title It's a title ending with one or more exclamation points! Some comedy movies show they're comedies by having an excited title! Lots of musicals have excited titles! Often just the exclaimed first name of the lead character! So many, that it's become a Discredited Trope!

Slightly less grating when the title is an actual exclamation! Like "Help!"

Compare Excited Episode Title, Title Scream! See also Lucky Charms Title!
