{{trope}}
{{quote|''Mastropiero, as it was the habit, named his madrigal after the first verse of the poem, calling it'' [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe|Ye Beautiful and Graceful Maiden Went To Do Her Laundry]] ''but the lengthiness of this title seemed inadequate, so he renamed his madrigal as'' Ye Beautiful and Graceful Maiden Went To Do Her Laundry, She Clean'd In Ye Creek, And Wash'd As She Sang, Rubb'd Against A Rock, Hang'd It From A Birch ''and [[Les Luthiers]] has the pleasure to play tonight Johann Sebastian Mastropiero's Ye Beautiful and Graceful Maiden...'' mumble ''...Hang'd It From A Birch''
|'''[[Les Luthiers]]''' in ''La Bella y Graciosa Moza'' Routine}}
Aka: [[Overly Long Gag|That Trope Where Shows Books Films Or Songs Have Ridiculously Long And Generally Unwieldy Titles Which In Modern Times Is Usually Used For Comic Effect Although Occasionally This Trope Is Instead Employed To Instead Mock Media Which Is Already Perceived To Have An Overly Long Title Though In The Case Of This Trope Is Being Used In An Ironic Self Describing Way]].
Line 49 ⟶ 50:
* ''Moshi Kōkō Yakyū no Joshi Manager ga Dorakkā no "Management" o Yondara'' ("What if the Female Manager of a High School Baseball Team Read Drucker's ''Management''?") aka [[Moshidora]] - the title card for the anime and the cover of the novel both write the title so that it splits into two lines with "Moshi" and "Dora" at the beginning of each, thus the abbreviation. The anime title card highlights this.
* Most episode titles in ''[[Best Student Council]]'' are of perfectly normal length, but episode 18 blindsides the viewer with "Hitoshi Satou, 28 years old, Occupation: Lawyer, Parents are Rich, and Even More Good Qualities to Make Him a Favorable Partner."
* ''[[Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaete Mo Omaera ga Warui]]'' which could be seen as a little bit like a [[Gender Flipped]] [[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.
== 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 115 ⟶ 116:
* Sometimes used in poetry to make a title that's longer than the work it's describing.
** The Kenneth Patchen poem "The Murder of Two Men by a Young Kid Wearing Lemon Colored Gloves" consists entirely of two unique words: wait and now.
** ''An Ode to the Antiquity of Fleas'' by [[Ogden Nash]]:
{{quote|Adam had'em.}}
* E. V. Rieu wrote a series of poems with titles like "Meditations of a Tortoise Dozing under a Rosetree at Noon while a Dog scampers about and a Cuckoo calls from a distant Wood" and "Soliloquy of a Tortoise on Revisiting the Lettuce Beds after an interval of one Hour while supposed to be sleeping in a clump of blue Hollyhocks"; in each case, the title is longer than the actual poem.
Line 192 ⟶ 193:
== Theatre: Or, Works written with the intention of live performance in front of an audience upon the theatrical stage ==
* ''[[Marat
** Publicists and playbill designers shortened this to ''Marat/Sade''.
* Perhaps not so long as most of these but still worthy of mention: ''The tragical history of the damned life and deserved death of Doctor Johanus Faustus''.
