=== Video Games ===
Line 69:
* ''[[Katamari Damacy|We ♥ Katamari]]'', in which the heart is pronounced "love".
** Not to mention that the game includes a song titled "DISCO ☆ PRINCE".
* ''[[.hack]]'', which is pronounced "dot-hack", just like "dot-com" which is what the title is supposed to be invoking. The title logo on the majority of .hack media has the "dot" as a six-sided shape with the word "DOT" clearly written in it in roman letters (in both English and Japanese logos) makes it clear what the intended pronunciation is. The party in the first set of games being called "The Dot Hackers" by other characters in the meta-series reinforces it. Each title adds a set // to the title, becoming .Hack//Title. Unlike the "dot" these are

Line 126:
* In Japan, ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'' is called ビッグバン★セオリー, or "Big Bang★Theory". [[Market-Based Title]] much? They even add a subtitle that basically means "The romance laws of our geekiness".
* [[Numbers Never Lie]].
* [[The Idolmaster (anime)|The Idolm@ster]]
* φBrain - Phi Brain
* ''[[Friends]]'' has the logo of ''F·R·I·E·N·D·S''
