Line 15:
Characters saying their own name can also fall under this trope, but if they do it incessantly, not for dramatic effect, that's [[Pokémon Speak]].
 
Many instances of this trope in Japanese works may also fall under [[First -Name Basis]]. In Japanese culture, it is customary to use last names plus an honorific (usually "san", sometimes "senpai" for one's elders, "kun" for underlings, "dono" or "sama" for works set in older times, etc.) when addressing someone else, even directly (they rarely use the pronoun for "you" in formal settings although they do have a few for informal situations). Children, especially girls, will often use first names with friends, although adults will usually only do this if they've been friends since childhood or are otherwise [[True Companions|close buddies]]. But when a couple has [[Relationship Upgrade|moved ahead in their relationship]], they will often switch to using [[First -Name Basis|first names]] as well. In media, the first time a character calls their romantic interest by their first name (whether out of affection or distress), the scene often ends up being an example of this trope.
 
Compare [[First -Name Basis]], [[First Name Ultimatum]] and [[You? Squared]], [[Skyward Scream]]. If you have a lot of people, all doing a "Say My Name" to each other, it's a [[Rocky Roll Call]].
 
Contrast [[I Know Your True Name]] where speaking it has much more dangerous implications.
 
Examples of this trope are often subjected to [[Memetic Mutation]].
{{examples|Examples:}}
 
== ADVERTISIIING! ==
Line 50:
** Lina herself is prone to screaming out everyone else's names when they're in danger, namely in the second season of the anime.
* Very common in [[Shoujo Demographic]]. Many fans got their first taste of the anime-style of this with ''[[Fushigi Yuugi (Manga)|Fushigi Yuugi]]'' ("Miaka!" "Tamahome!") until [[Memetic Mutation|it became a meme]] associated with that show. Suboshi also does this quite a bit in the fist OVA series: "Yui-sama! ''Yui-sama!!''"
** The trope in shojo is probably as old as shojo itself. The 1970s series ''[[Candy Candy (Manga)|Candy Candy]]'' delights us with a scene where Candy and her best friend Annie are reconciled. A few minutes of "Candyyyy!" "Anniiie, oh Annie!" "Candyyyy!" "Annie!" "Oh ''Candy''!" ping ponged with such strong feeling that (at least in the Finnish dub) you can [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|close your eyes and see something else than]] little girls running towards each other on a meadow of fragrant blossoms and sparkling dewdrops...
*** In case of the Finnish dub it doesn't really help that the voice actors are clearly adult, and very recognisable as two of the maybe five female voices TV dubbing had at its disposal at the time. It's rather jarring to get love scene vibes with little girls on the screen, voiced by any combination of the following: ''[[The Moomins]]'', ''[[The Smurfs]]'', ''[[Tao Tao]]'', ''[[Alfred J Kwak (Animation)|Alfred J Kwak]]'', ''[[The Care Bears]]'', and ''[[Doctor Snuggles]]''.
* "DEEEEEDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Courtesy of Parn in the ''[[Record of Lodoss War (Roleplay)|Record of Lodoss War]]'' OAV.
Line 67:
* ''[[Gantz (Manga)|Gantz]]'': TAE-CHAAAAAAN!!! KEI-CHAAAAAAN!!!
* ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Cardcaptor Sakura]]'' anime, elevator scene with Syaoran and Sakura. Syaoran yells, "SAKURAAAAAAAAAA" as she plunges into the depths of wherever. As it is CLAMP, everything must be dramatic when Syaoran says Sakura's name for the very first time.
** Actually, that's [[Values Dissonance]]. In Japan, [[First -Name Basis|you rarely call people outside your own family by their first names]] unless you're '''very''' close to them, hence when Syaoran shifts from "[[Hey, You]]" (or "Kinomoto" in some dubs, to keep the meaning despite the language differences) to "Sakura", it's a BIG sign of both his crush on her and [[Character Development|how he considers her a close ally and friend instead of his rival]]. Therefore, when she uses The Float to save her own life and return to his side, she's ''beyond'' happy to hear him call her "Sakura".
* Nagi of ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)|Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' calls out Hayate's name whenever she's in trouble, as does Nishisawa once or twice. He will always appear immediately out of nowhere to save the day once so summoned; on at least one occasion he even apparently waited out of sight until Nagi called out his name before saving her from a rampaging robot.
** This happens excessively - if ANYONE calls out for help, especially if they use his name, he will show up to help them. To the point that it's a shocking surprise in the few cases when he DOESN'T show up.
Line 74:
** In Kikyou's debut sequence, her name was six or seven of Inuyasha's lines in a row.
** To get specific, Inuyasha says Kagome's name 568 times in the whole series, while Kagome says Inyuasha's '''971''' times--the majority of both being screams. Out of 167 episodes.
* "RANMA!!! AKANE!!!" moments are also very common in ''[[Ranma One Half½ (Manga)|Ranma One Half]]'', Rumiko Takahashi's earlier work.
** Played for laughs when the normally [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] Ranma and Akane turn into [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]] because of [[Love Potion|love mushrooms]]. Instead of using their actual names, they call out to each other using terms of affection.
{{quote| '''Ranma:''' BABYYYYY!}}
Line 94:
* There was a puzzle in the 2003 MIT Mystery Hunt ([http://web.mit.edu/puzzle/www/03/www.acme-corp.com/teamGuest/Training/tp-p.html Whoa - I know Kiaido!]) which consisted entirely of shots of characters doing this very thing.
* ''[[Fist of the North Star (Manga)|Fist of the North Star]]'': "YURIAAAAAAAAA!!! YURIAAAAAAGGGGHGHGHGHGHH!!!" "KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!"
** Jagi is particularly fond of this trope. He also adds emphasis in the translated ''[[Dynasty Warriors|Hokuto Musou]]'': "[[Say My Name]], [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|bitches!]]"
* The ''[[Gundam (Anime)|Gundam]]'' franchise ''loves this'' to death.
** ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (Anime)|Mobile Suit Gundam Wing]]'': "HEEEEROOOOO!" "Relena!" "TROWAAAAAAA!" "Quatre...!" "Zeeeeeechs!"
Line 100:
** ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|Mobile Suit Gundam]]'': "Casval-niisan!" "Amuro!" "LALAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!"
** ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Anime)|Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'': "HOOOWAARD MAAAASOOON!!!!!!!!!" "RIB-BOOONS!!!" " '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUe83vpiKC0 LOOCCCCCKKKKOOOONNN!]''' " "CHRISTINA SIERRAAA!!!!!!!" "MARIE! MARIE! MARIEEEEE!!!!!" "COLONEL SMIRNOOOOOOV!!!!!" "BRING STABITY!" "HILLING!" "GUN-DAAAMMMMM!" "CELESTIAL BEING!"
*** This little gem from Lockon at the beginning of his last battle: "That's a Throne... '''''[[You Killed My Father|ALI-AL]] [[ItsIt's Personal|SAACHEZ]]!!!'''''"
** ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Chars Counterattack (Anime)|Mobile Suit Gundam Chars Counterattack]]'': "CHAAAAAAAAR!"
** ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory (Anime)|Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory]]'': "GATOOOOOOOO!"
Line 164:
* Judai from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh GX (Anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh GX]]'' had always been incredibly fond of saying peoples' names, but when it came to Johan, he really pulled out all the stops. Poor Asuka's lines in all of seasons 3 and 4 were reduced to her just saying "Judai..." in moments when it looked like he was in a tough corner, and "Judai!" when it looked like he was in serious trouble.
* The regular [[Yu-Gi-Oh (Anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]] gets this a lot, too. As does the Other Yugi (or "Mou Hitori No Boku" - "other me".) And Jounouchi. And Anzu. And... well, a lot of people, really.
* ''[[Blood Plus+ (Anime)|Blood Plus]]'': "SAAAAAAAAAAYYYAAAAAAAAA!" Then, when the person speaking ''is'' Saya, it will inevitably become "DIVA!"
** '''''[[Narm Charm|"PHANTOM!!"]]'''''
* ''[[Shakugan no Shana (Light Novel)|Shakugan no Shana]]'': "SHANA!!!" "YUJI!!" <-- Actually of Plot importance, because Shana actually got her name from Yuji, and Yuji is usually not referred to by his name by the Flame Haze, because they consider him an object rather than a person.
Line 187:
**** "DOITSUUUUUUUUU!"
* ''[[Rurouni Kenshin (Manga)|Rurouni Kenshin]]'': "KAORU-DONO!!!!" "KENSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!"
** Or, in the [[Macekre|disconcerting]] (or arguably, [[So Bad ItsIt's Good]]) Spanish dub, ''"Kenshiiii"''.
* ''[[Code Geass (Anime)|Code Geass]]'': "LELOOOOOUUUCH!" "SUZAKUUUUUU!" "SHIRLEEEEEEY!" "NUNALLYYYYYYY!" "Xingke, Xingke, Xingke!"
** Naoto! Inoue! Euphy! Chigusa. ZERO!!! Anya! Xingke! Raksha... The list goes on. Some names even come up multiple times.
Line 243:
* ''[[Berserk (Manga)|Berserk]]'': "GRIFFITH!"
** And Guts's [[Distaff Counterpart]] from ''[[Claymore (Manga)|Claymore]]'': "PRISCILLA!"
* ''[[WolfsWolf's Rain (Manga)|Wolfs Rain]]''. "Cheza!" "Kiba!" "Cheza!" "Kiba!"
* ''[[Zatch Bell (Manga)|Zatch Bell]]'': ZEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOON! STOP FAUDOOOOOOOOOOO!"
* Used many times in ''[[Soul Eater (Manga)|Soul Eater]]'', with most of the main characters getting the chance to do this at least once.
Line 263:
* ''[[Kyou Kara Maoh (Light Novel)|Kyou Kara Maoh]]'' has lead Shibuya '[[The Messiah]]' Yuuri at the center of everyone's attention, all the time, with one or two notable examples. So he gets his name called so constantly that ''heika!'' ('your majesty'--he's king, it's the premise) is the most common word in the script, since he gets it from Gunter constantly, Conrad regularly, and Gwendal in extreme circumstances, as well as from random subjects and people he's just met. Conrad also calls him Yuuri in intense situations on and off, depending on how he's feeling, and Wolfram's impassioned exclamations of his fiance's name are to be counted on anytime anything dangerous happens, like he thinks it'll somehow protect the wimp. Shori is also good for a 'Yuuri' or 'Yu-chan' pretty reliably, and {{spoiler|Murata}} comes out with a good number of dramatic 'Shibuya's.
** Yuuri himself, meanwhile, does plenty of name-calling. Especially Conrad, especially during the Arm Arc.
** There are other instances of names being scrupulously avoided: {{spoiler|Murata whenever he goes to talk to Shinou in the temple}} is a good example, as well as the way Murata and Shori choose to address each other: 'Friend of my little brother' and 'older brother of my friend,' and Wolfram's determined address of his brother [[Half -Human Hybrid|Conrad]] as 'Weller-kyo.'
*** {{spoiler|This last spectacularly shattered in the scene at the burnt church where Yuuri and Conrad are both missing, presumed dead, and then they find Conrad's severed arm... COOOOOOOONRAAAAAAAAAAADD! Tops most of his 'Yuuri's.}}
* ''[[Kimagure Orange Road (Anime)|Kimagure Orange Road]]'': Ushiko-san! Ushiko-san! -- Umau-san! Umau-san! Unusual in that they are very minor characters; this was all they said.
Line 284:
* The 1970's anime of ''The Little Mermaid'' has Fritz the Whale say:
{{quote| '''Fritz:''' "Maaarrriiiiiiiiinnnaaaa!"}}
* ''[[Jo JosJo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]'' has a lot of these:
** "DIOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
** "MIIIISTAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
Line 326:
* Used by [[Empowered (Comic Book)|Empowered]] during sex. "What's... my... name?"
{{quote| '''Thugboy''': Which one, baby?!}}
* ''[[Bookhunter (Comic Book)|Bookhunter]]'': When a [[Phone Trace Race]] ends with his target eluding him, all Agent Bay can do is scream, "Damn you, [[In -Series Nickname|Kettle Stitch!]]"
 
 
Line 342:
* Similarly, try keeping track of how often the hero's name is said in ''[[Beowulf (Film)|Beowulf]]'', most notably in the sea monster fight ("BEEEEEEOOWUUUUUULLLLF!"). There are quite a few shout of "[[Punctuated for Emphasis|I am Beowulf!]]" in there (of varying [[No Indoor Voice|volume]] and [[Punctuated for Emphasis|pacing]]), and Wiglaf even gets the odd "You are Beowulf!".
* ''[[American Pie (Film)|American Pie]]'':
{{quote| '''[[Covert Pervert|Michelle]]''': "What's my name? Say my name, [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|bitch]]!"<br />
'''Jim''': "Michelle! Michelle." }}
* ''[[Chain Reaction (Film)|Chain Reaction]]'' has the character played by [[Morgan Freeman]] repeatedly saying the name of the character played by [[Keanu Reeves]] in casual conversation. It's not for dramatic effect, it's just bad writing.
Line 376:
* ''[[The Swan Princess]]''. "ODDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTE!"
* Disney's ''[[Beauty and The Beast (Disney)|Beauty and The Beast]]'' has a climactic scene towards the end where Belle calls out "Beast!" (The audio commentary notes that they'd forgotten to give him a name.)
* Brought to a head in ''[[Manos: theThe Hands of Fate (Film)|Manos the Hands of Fate]]'', although mercifully, not in all one scene.
{{quote| '''Maggie''': Mike! Mike!<br />
'''Mike''': Maggie! Debbie!<br />
Line 405:
** And:
{{quote| '''Ironhide''': '''IT'S STARSCREAM!'''}}
* ''[[Nine9 (Animation)|Nine]]'' gets '''''"2!"''''' As well as:
{{quote| '''9''': ''[[Numerical Theme Naming|7!]]''<br />
'''7''': ''[[You Are Number Six|9!]]'' }}
Line 475:
 
== LITERATUUURE! ==
* In ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and Thethe Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'' Ron repeatedly shouts Hermione's name as {{spoiler|she is being tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange}}.
** And later, Ginny screams Harry's name when {{spoiler|she sees him apparently dead in Hagrid's arms.}}
* In the movie version of ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'', ''[[Voyage of the Dawn Treader]]'', Edmund and Lucy are constantly calling each other's name whenever they're separated from each other or when they're talking to one another.
Line 500:
** One interesting twist happened in "[[Doctor Who (TV)/NS/Recap/S4 E1 Partners in Crime|Partners in Crime]]". Donna and the Doctor see each other for the first time through windows on opposite sides of a room that they are both spying on. Cue completely silently mimed shouts of "DONNA!" and "DOCTOR!"
* Parodied in ''[[The IT Crowd (TV)|The IT Crowd]]'': Douglas Reynholm bursts into his father's [[The Fun in Funeral|funeral]], takes off his sunglasses, gets his bearings, and [[Incoming Ham|when he's sure he's got everyone's attention]]] lets out an anguished "FATHEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!"
* Parodied in several ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus (TV)|Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' sketches, where the detectives' ridiculous names [[WhosWho's On First?|are always echoed]] after they introduce themselves:
{{quote| '''Lookout''': This house is surrounded. I must ask that no one leave the room. I'm Chief Superintendent Lookout.<br />
'''Lady Velloper''': Lookout!<br />
Line 567:
* ''[[Sherlock (TV)|Sherlock]]'': "SHERLOCK!" It's muffled through a window, which lessens the impact, but the fact that there's a dramatic echo (as well as an appropriate choice in soundtrack) helps.
** Happens again in ''The Reichenbach Fall'', this time clearly audible.
* In the series 3 finale of ''The [[Inspector Lynley]] Mysteries'', Lynley's beloved partner Barbara Havers is shot. All Lynley can manage is a frantic shout of "[[Last -Name Basis|Havers!!!]]" and then a hoarse whisper of "[[You Called Me "X" - It Must Be Serious|Barbara]]? ''[[Tear Jerker|Barbara]]???''"
* ''[[The Brady Bunch (TV)|The Brady Bunch]]'' episode in the Grand Canyon brought us the infamous “BOBBY! CINDY!”
** Invoked in the ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000 (TV)|Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' treatment of ''The Human Duplicators'' (by Tom Servo).
* [[Dexter]] gets one when Trinity escapes him again: "ARTHUUUUUUUUURRR!!!"
** Also, from the third season: MIGUEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLL!!!!!!!! (it was all in his head, but still).
* ''[[MashM*A*S*H (TV)|Mash]]'': In "Operation Noselift", Hawkeye can't say more than a sentence to or about his friend ''Stosh'' without saying his name.
* ''[[Eastenders]]'': RICKAAAY!
* Someone once counted the number of times [[Horatio Hornblower]] said "Archie." One episode had 21 instances.
Line 603:
* When Wendla's mother in ''[[Spring Awakening]]'' {{spoiler|drags her off to get a back-alley abortion, Wendla is confused and terrified,}} [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|screaming "MAAMMAAAAAAAAAAA!"]] {{spoiler|as she is dragged off}}.
* [[Older Than Steam]]: In [[William Shakespeare (Creator)|Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Romeo and Juliet (Theatre)|Romeo and Juliet]]'', Juliet Capulet begins a monologue on the meaning and importance of names with the repetition of her crush's name: "O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?"
* In Baz Luhrmann's ''[[William ShakespearesShakespeare's Romeo and +Juliet (Film)|William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet]]'', [[Leonardo Di Caprio]]'s Romeo lets out an anguished "JULIET! JULIET!" when he learns of Juliet's fate (though unbeknownst to him, she's [[Not Quite Dead]]).
* Everyone - except Lady Bracknell - does it at the end of [[Oscar Wilde (Creator)|Oscar Wilde]]'s ''[[The Importance of Being Earnest (Theatre)|The Importance of Being Earnest]]'' (names do play a very important part in the play).
* ''[[Wicked (Theatre)|Wicked]]'', "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished":
Line 725:
* ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'':
** MEDIC!!
** [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Only because the classes answer to the name of their class, rather than any actual personal name.]]
* ''[[Disgaea (Video Game)|Disgaea]]'': As befits his role as a [[Large Ham]], '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth''' gets a few of these. At the end of Chapter 11, when Thursday goes off-line, and then at the end of Chapter 12, when Jennifer is taken away.
* In ''[[Luigis Mansion (Video Game)|Luigi's Mansion]]'', pressing "A" with no other context action available will cause Luigi to call out in search of his brother. These can range from a tentative "Mario?" to a full blown [[Narm Charm]] '''"MAARR-EEEEOOOOOOOOOOO!!"'''
Line 735:
* ''[[World of Warcraft (Video Game)|World of Warcraft]]'': ARTHAAAAAAAAAS!!!
* In ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics Advance]]'', Marche will call Montblanc's name {{spoiler|if Montblanc dies in a Jagd}}, "Montblanc? Montblanc!"
** Exclusively for its [[Audio Adaptation]], Marche calls Montblanc's name while crying at the end of the series, along with the very ending where Montblanc calls Marche's name softly, along with an echo, after his [[One -Liner]].
** That's not just enough. Montblanc actually [[Big Word Shout|went exaggerated]] when {{spoiler|Marche goes to Prison (along with Ritz) and before he faces Llednar Twem}}.
*** '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sS38n0Vqgs MAAAAAAASHUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!]'''
Line 765:
** "RECO-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!"
** "PARUMUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
* As in parodying ''[[Metal Gear Solid (Video Game)|Metal Gear Solid]]'', if in Bang's storyline, if he lost against Hakumen, Litchi will call his name out like this: "Bang? Bang! BAAAAAANNNGGG!!!" [[Butt Monkey|Bang just never gets any luck]] [[Yank the DogsDog's Chain|because that's when Litchi finally responds to him the way he wanted to, and he's down for the count to hear that. His other outcome if he won against Hakumen isn't any better for his crush.]]
* ''[[Heavy Rain (Video Game)|Heavy Rain]]'':
** [[Memetic Mutation|JAYSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!]]
Line 803:
** Masamune and Yukimura's matches tend to include a "DAAATEEE MAAAASAAAMUUUNEEEEEEE!!!!" and "SANADA YUKIMURAAA!!!!" call before they get down to it.
** "[[Heroic Sacrifice|Tadakatsu! TADAKAAAAAAAAAAATSU!!!!!]]"
** "[[ItsIt's Personal|Ieyasu... Ieyasu... Ieyasu... IEYAAAASUUUUUUUUU!!!!]]"
*** "[[Cry for The Devil|Goodbye, Mitsunari! Ishida Mitsunari!]]"

** "Hideaki! You ''[[Precision F -Strike|bastard]]'' Hideaki!!"
** "[[Love Hurts|Nagamasa-sama?]] [[Sacrificial Lion|Nagamasa-sama!]] [[Break the Cutie|Nagamasa-sama...]]"
** "LOOOOOOOORD NOBUNAAAGAAAAAA!!!"
Line 820:
* ''[[Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (Video Game)|Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe]]'': '''''KAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNN'''! Naturally, it's [[The Joker]]'s line.
* And in ''[[Mitsumete Knight (Video Game)|Mitsumete Knight]]'', a [[Spiritual Successor]] of ''Tokimeki Memorial'', you've got [[Aristocrats Are Evil|Johan Elites]], who constantly does this each time the Asian (i.e. the Main Protagonist) foils his plans. '''"TOUYOUJIN-MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"''' ("YOU BASTARD ASIAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!")
* ''[[Strong Bads Cool Game for Attractive People (Video Game)|Strong Bads Cool Game for Attractive People]]'': '''[[Homestar Runner (Web Animation)|BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]][[ItsIt's Personal|KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!]]'''

* ''[[Rosenkreuzstilette]]'': '''"TIAAAAAAAAAA!"'''
Line 961:
** ''[[Transformers Cybertron (Anime)|Transformers Cybertron]],'' Megs gets booby-trapped and he and the 'cons loyal to him are left behind in a force field in deep space. Starscream feels the need to leave a message to make sure Megs knows who screwed him, and all Megatron can do is yell his name in fury.
** In ''[[Transformers Prime (Animation)|Transformers Prime]],'' when Megatron finds out Starscream tried to off him in the premiere, rather than going for the traditional STARSCREEEEEEAM! he simply says his name quietly. However, [[No Holds Barred Beatdown|his wrath]] is the same.
** ''[[Transformers Energon (Anime)|Transformers Energon]]'' did this literally, when Megatron/Galvatron [[Mind Rape|Mind Rapes]] Starscream, who has [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSG4-_cuaCI Skip ahead to <nowiki>2:01</nowiki> and then to <nowiki>3:05</nowiki>.]
** In "More Than Meets the Eye: Part 3" of the original Transformers series, Megatron and the 'Cons are taking off in their space ship while the Autobots watch. Optimus reaches out his hand, and in one of Peter Cullen's greatest moments yells "MEEEGGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!"

** Oddly enough, the alien brain Krang in ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 (Animation)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987]]'' liked watching a TV show that seemed to consist entirely of a man named John and a woman named Marsha staring at each other and saying their names over and over.
** ''[[Mad (Magazine)|Mad]]'': John didn't have his glasses on, and was saying it to the wrong girl at first.
