Fan Nickname/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

** Jack Bauer's Happy Hour (or The Jack Bauer Power Hour, whichever you prefer) - The show itself.

** Black Bauer (or Blackjack) - Curtis, named so for being a field agent nearly on par with the main character Jack Bauer (oh, and he was black). Inspired some other "Bauer" nicknames that were mostly in jest:

*** The Other White Bauer - Aaron.

*** Bald Bauer - Wayne, for teaming up with Jack and being competent once.

*** Rack Bauer - Renee Walker, who turned into Jack with boobs as the season went on.

** Soul Patch - Tony Almeida, cause of his... interesting... facial hair in Season 1.

*** Some have changed this to Neck Patch, after he was shot in the neck in season three and spent the rest of the season with a large white patch over the wound.

** Raj - The guy Shaun Majumder played, after one of his characters on ''[[This Hour Has 22 Minutes]]''.

** Council of Doom - The Cabal that has been around since Season 5.

** Candyman - Benjamin Juma, for Tony Todds role in the movie of the same name.

** Dubaku Device - The CIP device.

** President Bump-it - Referring to President Hassan's strangely voluminous hair.

*** There are so many more nicknames for his hair too.... [[Slumdog Millionaire|Slumdog Millionhair]], President Hair, Perm Kapur, Hair-san, and so many others.

** "The SpyFam": "SpyBarbie" for Sydney Bristow, "SpyDaddy" for [[Papa Wolf]] Jack Bristow, "SpyMommy" for [[Magnificent Bitch]] Irina Derevko, and {{spoiler|1="SpySkipper" for Nadia Santos}}.

** Irina also got "Mama Hari".

** [[NE Ls]] - short for Non-Elimination Legs

* ''America's Next Top Model''

*** Tyra-ranasaurus Rex says rar!

** Tootie Carparts/Shroom - Much-derided Cycle 9 winner Saleisha Stowers was saddled with this first over at Television Without Pity. "Tootie" and "Shroom" both refer to the strange bowl-cut makeover she was given in the cycle. "Carparts" was added because of a photoshoot where she was supposed to represent... car parts.

* ''[[Andromeda]]''

** Captain Herc, a.k.a. Kirkules - Captain Dylan Hunt (played by Kevin Sorbo, of Hercules fame).

** Battlecrab - Usenet nickname for the Shadows' trademark spacecraft.

*** Wait... wasn't that one used in the series itself?

** Ginsu-beam - Usenet nickname for the beam weapons that Shadows used to literally carve their enemies' ships into pieces.

** Telegoths - Byron's band of [[The Scrappy]] renegade telepaths from the beginning of Season 5.

*** This one comes from the actor.

*** Minbari Princess - Delenn

*** Disney Prince - Sheridan

* ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'':

** Gina - The Number Six Cylon who was captured by the Pegasus crew. From the feminized form of GINO, or "Galactica In Name Only" (a criticism leveled at the new series by fans of the original). Ron Moore used the name to refer to the character in podcasts, and when ''Razor'' aired, Gina Inviere (Romanian for "resurrection") was given as the character's name.

** Blanders - Among certain fans, specifically those stuck in Season Two, the accepted way of referring to Kara Thrace's husband, Sam Anders.

*** Some people refer to her as "Seducto-Bot".

** "Gaydar" - Gaeta.

*** "Xena, Cylon Princess/Reporter" has been used as well.

** "Domicylon" aka "Baltar's Dream House" - [[Television Without Pity]]'s nickname for Baltar's hallucination of his old house on Caprica.

** "The Whiteboard of Extinction" - [[Television Without Pity]] nickname for the whiteboard on Colonial One with the running total of the surviving human population.

** "The Rag-tag Fleet", "The Fugitive Fleet" - ''The Battlestar Galactica'' and its fleet of Colonial refugee ships, from both versions of the series.

*** The Duck Family - Booth, Brennan, and Sweets as a [[Nakama]].

** The Boneyard-the official forum. There was, for a time, also the "Anti-Boneyard", a forum founded in protest of official board rules, but it is now shut down.

** Booth Light-Agent Sullivan

* ''Brookie'' - ''[[Brookside]]''

** Pencil Boy - The First Evil. So nicknamed due to his intangibility making him useless for anything except monologuing and making scary faces. Or as one fan put it - "What's so scary about this guy? He couldn't even pick up a pencil if I dropped one on the floor."

** Spicule - The "[[Badass Decay|defanged]]" Spike from later episodes. Another [[Television Without Pity]] exclusive.

*** A couple of the original Angel novels tried referring to him as the "Dark Avenger" (a reference, I believe, to the TV ad Cordelia was trying to create for the agency) on the back covers. Don't think it ever caught on.

*** Before the term was used in the series, they were often known as "The Slayerettes", thanks again to a comment in the script ("It's like -- you're the Slayer, and we're... the Slayerettes.")

** "Captain Cardboard" - Riley, Buffy's Season 4 boyfriend. Also originally used in the script.

** The Folk Man has become a popular name on Youtube for [[Complete Monster|Caleb.]]

** [[The Sex Pistols|Sid and Nancy]] - Nickname for [[Amber Benson]] and [[Adam Busch]].

** Heard this one recently: Craig Whedon - After Craig, the character on ''[[South Park]]'' who compulsively flips everybody off. If you're a fan of his shows, you know why.

** Buffy Cross and Stake and Angel's Soul Spoiler boards: Red board and Blue Board respectively, due to their text colors.

** Willow the Vampire Flayer. Why? Here's why.

* ''[[Carnivale]]'':

** [[Law and Order SVU|Benson]] - Beckett. Seriously, they're almost exactly alike.

* ''[[Casualty]]''

** Polomint - Kuba.

** Big Gay Chris - A [[Television Without Pity]] nickname for the very pretty, very femme-acting [[Mr. Fanservice]] that made Season Six slightly more entertaining. As it obvious he was a [[Kid From the Future]], and Piper already had one kid, Wyatt, people assumed they were one and the same, leading Wyatt to be occasionally nicknamed Tiny Gay Chris until it turned out Chris was actually Wyatt's younger brother. The baby version of Chris inherited the latter nickname once he was born.

** Maggot Neck - Another [[Television Without Pity]] nickname for Billie Jenkins. Her neck was... strange, to put it mildly. She was also known as The Retarded Bimbo, due to Kaley Cuoco's inadequate interpretation of the role combined with the character's abundant stupidity, which later became The Ultimate Retard once the character started being ominously referred to as "the Ultimate Power" on the show.

** "Facebox" is a nickname for Facebook among fans based on a [[Tonight Show]] monologue one night when Conan flubbed the name of the site, then flubbed it again when he tried to repeat the joke.

* ''[[Criminal Minds]]''

** [[Team Mom|Mom]] and [[Team Dad|Dad]] - Hotch and Rossi. In that order.

''(Garcia and JJ take the cue to play along)'' }}

* ''[[CSI]]''

** [[Too Much Information|TMI]] Cam - The extreme closeups into the body showing you exactly how the Victim Of The Week died, named by [[Television Without Pity]].

** [[The Lab Rat|Lab Rat]] - Greg Sanders from ''[[CSI]]''.

** Similarly, Greg was referred to as "Liam" on Television Without Pity for years, because his early hair style called to mind Liam Gallagher from Oasis and he wasn't named for a while.

** GSR. Usually used as shorthand for "gunshot residue", a real forensic test to detect whether someone has fired a gun recently. CSI shippers use it for "Grissom/Sidle Romance".

** A rare case of a body part getting a nickname, Nick's short-lived mustache during season 5 was and still is "The porn-stache".

** Ice Cream Girl/Ice Cream Kid: D.B.'s granddaughter, stemming from a mention in the article that announced her appearance of D.B. getting her ice cream.

With the exception of the one between Delgado and Ainley, who's known as "Crispy" because of his scorched-rotting-corpse appearance (he had [[The Other Darrin|two different actors]], making it difficult to use the usual shorthand. Some fans use both actors' names, referring to him as the Pratt/Beevers Master).

*** [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Mighty Morphin' Power Daleks!]]

** BillDoc, PatDoc, JonDoc, TomDoc, PeteDoc, ColDoc, and SlyDoc.

** Evil Uncle Jack - Jack Bass

** Chuck Bass also went by the [[Fan Nickname]] Rapey during most of season one.

** ikiN - Jessica, Niki's "mirror self". Named by [[Television Without Pity]] before Jessica's name was revealed. This caught on so well that most members of the forum refuse to call her Jessica, and still use ikiN.

** Lady Taskmaster - Monica, as her power (the ability to mimic what she sees perfectly) is the same as the [[Marvel Universe|Marvel]] character Taskmaster.

** Peter Pan - for Claire's Season 2 boyfriend, West. Not only for his ability to float-fly, but for his astounding immaturity which even leaks onto Claire. (His idea of using their powers for good? To play a traumatizing prank on a mean cheerleader.)

** HRG - Noah Bennet. Stands for "Horn-Rimmed Glasses," still occasionally used for Noah in his Company role. The fact that his real name was unknown for most of the first season encouraged its use and helped it stick.

** Mystery Sock - Isaac Mendez, named after how Hiro Nakamura (whose native language is Japanese) pronounces "Mister Isaac".

** Momhinder - Mohinder's mother (who is seen but not named)

** MohinderFly, Spider-Mohinder, Spider-Hindu, MohinderBrundleFly, BrundleMo - {{spoiler|After Mohinder injects himself with [[Super Serum]] in season 3 to give himself powers, he starts undergoing side effects similar to Seth Brundle from ''The Fly''.

** GTFW - the mysterious force which makes Sam leap: God/Time/Fate/Whatever.

** The purple shirt occasionally worn by Sherlock on the show has been dubbed "The Purple Shirt of Sex". Sherlock's blue scarf is notorious enough that it need only be referred to as "The Scarf". This is also true of John's oatmeal cable-knit jumper, known only as "The Jumper". Yes, Scarf/Jumper is one of the biggest ships in the fandom.

* ''[[Smallville]]''

** The Pink - Largely retired, but Lana used to wear ''a lot'' of pink.

** The Squirrel - Lana. Originated because she used to make squirelly faces when getting angry, confused or upset, stuck around because she stole men's nuts. Yes, it's from [[Television Without Pity]].

** The [[Magnificent Bastard]] - Lionel Luthor. This [[Fan Nickname]] has also become a [[Trope Namer|trope name]] on this Wiki. Also referred to as the MB and The Magnificent You-Know-What. After his possession by Jor-El, he was often referred to as Lion-El.

** Chloogle and more recently Lanapedia - Obviously, Chloe Sullivan and Lana Lang, due to the abilities that both have displayed to be able to look up information on just about anything for Clark.

*** And, lest we forget, Battlegate Voyager 90210.

** Sergeant Greer's early apparent temper problems caused him to be referred to as Furious George.

* ''[[Star Trek]]''

** Nero's time meddling- same concept as the Retroactive Cannon (ie. a force that erases things out of existance in a reboot), only strictly applied to Star Trek.

*** Also 6-of-9, when fans thought the new character would be ''Star Trek'''s long-promised gay character.

*** In Italy, the name Seven of Nine is translated literally as "Sette di Nove", so Italian fans started calling the character "Tette di Nove", meaning "Tits of Nine".

*** Strangely, this may have jumped into a completely unrelated [[Archer|series]], where the character secret agent Sterling ''Archer's'' codename is "Duchess."

*** The mysterious "Humanoid Figure" who gives Silik his orders in the Temporal Cold War was dubbed "Future Guy" by him (seriously how many fannames has this guy come up with?). This name then became the fans name for the character before it became so popular that by the end of ''[[Enterprise]]'''s second season producers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga were also referring to him as Future Guy in interviews, as did Paramount's press release for "The Expanse". According to his review of Broken Bow (at least video version) he thinks that the sad part about the whole thing is that the name is derived from sarcasm.

*** So has "The Blunder Twins."

*** The killer Bs was popular on some sites for a while.

*** Or, "Ally McTrill".

*** Scott Bakula himself gave his character the non-cannon middle name "Beckett."

*** Boobyprise - A derogatory name for the Enterprise of that same series, or the series itself, due to the contrived [[Fan Service]] throughout a fair bit of the series.

** Captain Fine - reboot Captain Kirk, played by Chris Pine.

** Picard's 'shirt tug' became known as 'The Picard Maneuver.'

*** This one probably started with the show's production staff rather than fans.

** And Riker's penchant for standing with one leg up on consoles became known as 'The Riker Maneuver' or 'The Riker Pose.'

** The ''USS Defiant'' has come to be known as the ''USS [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Ben Sisko's Motherfuckin' Pimp Hand]]'' thanks to [[SF Debris]].

* ''[[Supernatural]]''

** Li'l Stumpy - A nickname for Dean, referring to his bowlegs and his lack of height in comparison to Sam. First started on... [[Television Without Pity|guess where]].

** Fake Brando - A [[Television Without Pity]]-coined nickname for Alistair, Hell's main torturer demon in Season 4, who, no matter what host he is in, always sounds like he's doing an incredibly horrible Marlon Brando impression.

*** Dean calls Castiel "Cas" in episode four. This episode was written before episode one aired, so it's unlikely the nickname was taken from the fans.

** The Ginormotron - Sam, due to his nigh-on ridiculous tallness

** The Kripkeeper - Eric Kripke, the show's creator, on whom the fans blame all of their issues and angst.

*** It's also fairly common to distinguish between Castiel-with-Jimmy-as-a-vessel and Castiel-with-Claire-as-a-vessel by referring to the latter as "Clairestiel".

** Samifer and Markifer - Lucifer in Sam's body; Lucifer in Nick's body (named for actor Mark Pellegrino)

*** Let's be fair though. That visor has been heavily stylized so he'll be able to see out of it. The kanji for water looks more like [http://media.photobucket.com/image/kanji%20water/Lifehouse32194/Kanji/mizu1.gif this.] Even if you are familiar with kanji, it still looks a little funny.

** Elvis Mode - The Shinkengers' power-up, which looks like [http://img55.imageshack.us/i/sinken220.jpg/ this].

** Vs. Hair - The new hairstyles that characters are often seen with when they return for the Vs. movie with the following series.

** Michael Joe Takeru - Takeru/Red Mask from ''[[Hikari Sentai Maskman]]'', to avoid confusion with the Takeru of ''Shinkenger''. "Michael Joe" was the [[Dub Name Change]] given to Maskman!Takeru in the Philippines.

* ''[[Survivor]]'' (Same rule as ''Amazing Race'': skip player nicknames in favor of game terms only)

** Pagonging - After two tribes merge into one, an alliance of one former tribe's members systematically votes out the rival alliance of the other former tribe's members. Named for the Pagong tribe in the first season, who was the first victim of this.

** Idoled - When a player saves themselves from elimination with an Immunity Idol, the player who gets voted out instead has been "idoled".

** Loser Lodge - The complex where jury members stay after getting voted out. Officially called the Ponderosa.

** TV's Jesse Spencer - Jeff of season 5, for looking remarkably like Dr. Chase from House or simply...

*** Chase - numerous people refer to him by this name and were genuinely surprised upon being informed that that was not in fact his name.

** Hamster - Richard Hammond

** Captain Slow - James May

** Captain Spike - Captain John Hart of ''Torchwood'', played by James Marsters.

** Myfanwy - Is what the cast and production team named the CGI pterodactyl in ''Torchwood,'' or perhaps what they named the stand in prop used before the CG is added. This has spread to the fandom and more-or-less supplanted the previous fan-nickname of "Bob" once it was revealed. It has also led fans to the conclusion that the pterodactyl is female, as Myfanwy is a female name.

** Coffee bagging - Petitioning for {{spoiler|Ianto}} to return to the show, despite the producers stating that {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real|he's definitely dead.]]}} Refers to fans who sent bags of coffee to the BBC in protest after the character's departure.

** The Nine Hysterical Women - The people that were upset at the {{spoiler|death of Ianto Jones}}, coming from when RTD claimed that that was all the people who had written in or were upset when it happened. Many use it to prove that RTD {{spoiler|killed him off}} because he had a larger fan base than [[Author Sue|Gwen]]. FYI, {{spoiler|there are more than nine}}.

* ''[[The Tudors]]''

** Thomas Boleyn is generally referred to as Papa Boleyn. Henry VII (not a character, but still discussed) is Papa Tudor. Katherine Howard is often called Kitty, while the soon-to-appear Katherine Parr is called Kate. These last two seem to have historical basis and are also a way of telling the last two Katherines, who were wives five and six, apart - not to mention distinguishing them from wife number one, Katherine of Aragon.

* ''[[The West Wing]]''

** The Fab Four: Toby, CJ, Josh and Sam.

** The Jackal: CJ, after her famous lip-synching of "The Jackal": ''"I'm the firmest of the firm/And in case you hadn't known/They call me the Jackal."''

** The Organization - the sinister group that the Smoking Man and Strughold work for.

** Cigarette Smoking Man, a.k.a. Morley Man (after his preferred brand), a.k.a. Cancer Man. "Cancer Man" eventually started being used in the show itself.

*** "Marlborough Man" has also been used, after the source of the expied brand used in the show and the spokes-character introduced to sell it after it was switched from being a "woman"'s brand.

** The Schwarzenalien, the Mighty Morphin Bounty Hunter - Shapeshifting alien played by Brian Thompson.

** The Fowl One - Diana Fowley (also reffered to by more colorful names)

** Rita Antoinette Rizzo aka Mother Mary Angelica of the Annunciation, founder and host of EWTN: "The Immortal Nun", because of her longevity and how the reruns of her talk show make people often believe she's still at the helm or her show's still on. (Even when, due to her old age and ailing health, her show went off the air in 2001).
