* The Mayor from ''[[Powerpuff Girls]]'' is actually named "Mayor". |
|
⚫ |
* ''[[The Secret Show]]'' had Professor Professor and Doctor Doctor. Professor Professor's brother Maestro later joined the trope when he became a Maestro. Also their mother is known as Frau Frau. |
|
⚫ |
* ''[[Sheep in The Big City]]:'' Farmer John. John is his last name, by the way. His first name is Far, and his middle name is Mer. |
|
⚫ |
* ''[[Speed Racer]]'''s parents: Speed's own name is a little occupation appropriate, but his mom and dad are literally named Mom and Pops Racer. In the original Japanese version, Speed and his entire family had real Japanese names. |

|
⚫ |
* ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'': In a flashback from when he was a kid, Billy's Dad had a shirt with "Billy's Dad" written on it. It's odd, since the series had already established Billy's Dad's name as "Harold". |

* The [[Daffy Duck]] short ''[[Deduce You Say]]'' ends with the revelation that the criminal [[Sherlock Holmes|Dorlock Holmes]] and [[The Watson|Watkins]] are chasing is actually named Shropshire Slasher. |
