Line 53:
* ''[[Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaete Mo Omaera ga Warui]]'' which could be seen as a little bit like a [[Gender Flip]]ped [[The World God Only Knows]], sans supernatural [[Myth Arc]]. Kuroki has gotten most of her socialization practice from Otome games and can't interact well with real people outside of her family. The difference between her and [[A God Am I|Keima]] [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|Katsuragi]] is that she's trying to be more social, while Keima just wants everyone to leave him alone and let him play his games. Each character seems to be achieving the goal of the other.
* ''Danjon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darō ka'', which has the equally-long English title ''[[Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?]]''
* ''[[Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea]]'' (or ''Gake no Ue no Ponyo''), which is often marketed and known as simply ''Ponyo''. [[Downplayed]] in this case. Although the title is long, it has absolutely ''nothing'' on other titles in this category.
== [[Comic Books]]: Or, Short stories printed on paper told through a mixture of sequential images and bubbles containing text, indicating what the characters are saying, thinking, and occasionally doing. ==
Line 178:
** ''I Was Kicked out of the Hero’s Party Because I Wasn’t a True Companion so I Decided to Have a Slow Life at the Frontier''
** ''[[Marked for Failure, the World's Strongest Sage Reincarnates for a Do-Over!]]''
* [[Diana Wynne Jones]]'s ''[[Castle in the Air]]'' has the absolutely massive chapter "Which Tells how Flower-in-the-Night's Father Wished to Raise Abdullah Above All Others in the Land".

Line 195 ⟶ 196:
== [[Radio]]: Or, The spoken word of the human voice transmitted miraculously upon the aether by the appropriate application of wireless emissions of suitable wavelength, to be received across great distances by a carefully calibrated apparatus ==
* Although the actual title is given as ''Punt and Dennis: It's Been A Bad Week'', that comedy current-affairs show is often referred to by the title of its prize - ''[[Department of Redundancy Department|The Worst Week of the Week Award, Awarded Weekly on a Week-by-Week Basis]]''. Which is mentioned at the end of every round.
* One episode of BBC radio comedy ''[[The Burkiss Way]]'' is usually referred to as "Lesson 45: Write Extremely Long Titles The Burkiss Way". The ''full'' title, given in the Radio Times, was "Lesson 45: Write Extremely Long Titles With Lots And Lots Of Words In, Like This, So That The Radio Times Will Have To Allot More Space Than The Measly Half A Centimetre Of Billing Space We Usually Get And At Least It'll Look A Bit More Prominent On The Page, Although Still Nowhere Near The 50 Column Inches They Give To The Hitch-hiker's Guide To The Galaxy The Burkiss Way".
== [[Recorded and Stand Up Comedy]]: Or, Amusingly Droll Presentations Given for the Entertainment of Listeners Either In Person or Through Some Manner of Mechanical or Electric Transcription ==
* The comedy troupe [[The Firesign Theatre]] is known for (among other things) the very long titles they gave their earliest albums: ''Waiting for the Electrician or Someone Like Him'' (1968), ''How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All'' (1969) and ''Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers'' (1970).

* J.M.W. Turner painted in 1840: "Slave Ship (Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying, Typhon Coming On)" and it's better known now as simply "The Slave Ship." At the time, Punch Magazine lampooned the title with one of their own: "A Typhoon, Bursting A Simmoon, Over A Whirlpool Maelstrom, Norway, A Ship on Fire, An Eclipse, With the Effect of a Lunar Rainbow."
* ''[http://earlgreytea68.livejournal.com/67159.html Chaos Theory in Vortex Orbits in Relative Dimensions in Time and Space]'' a [[Doctor Who]] [[Kid Fic]] by [http://earlgreytea68.livejournal.com/ earlgreytea68.]
