Line 44:
** Marco can't really talk. When Rachel [[Bluff the Impostor|tests him]] by saying "You know you're a toad, right?" his answer is:
{{quote| '''Marco:''' "Kiss me and I'll become a prince. I'll be the Prince Formerly Known As Toad. You know you want me. You can't help it. After all, you're female, and I'm... well, I'm me."}}
* In the ''[[Sixteen Thirty Two|1632]]'' series, Don Fernando, the Spanish king's younger brother, was in holy orders as the "cardinal-infante" ("infante" is Spanish for "prince who's not heir to the throne"). Then he got a dispensation to give up being a cardinal. From that point on, there're occasional references to him as "the prince formerly known as cardinal-infante."
 
 
Line 52:
* ''[[Roundhouse]]'' had a ''Cinderella'' parody with TAFKAP as the Prince. His name was announced as holding a cardboard sign with the symbol up and the sound effect of the first electronic riff plus 'uhn' in Prince's "Kiss".
* On an episode of ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'' Ryan Stiles was pretending to be a frog: "The frog formerly known as Prince."
* On ''[[Thirty30 Rock (TV)|Thirty Rock]]'', one of Tracy Jordan's antics was to declare that he was now to be addressed as "the gentleman formerly known as Rectum".
 
 
Line 92:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* Ansom of ''[[Erfworld (Webcomic)|Erfworld]]'', after having his views on royalty changed by the events at Gobwin Knob, insists that he is "merely a warlord formerly known as Prince."
* ''[[Eight 8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Eight Bit Theater]]'': After the gang learns that [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2003/02/25/episode-253-ive-been-waiting-a-long-time/ Thief is actually the prince of the elves:]
{{quote| '''[[The Ditz|Fighter]]:''' Wait, [[Let Me Get This Straight]]. So Thief is the elf formerly known as prince?<br />
'''[[Omnicidal Maniac|Black Mage]]:''' Killing you is going to be the greatest moment of my life. }}
Line 105:
'''Marzipan:''' More like [[No Accounting for Taste|the former girlfriend]] known as Marzipan.<br />
'''Homestar Runner:''' Sounds like a plan! }}
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]] '': "[[I Have Many Names|I have had many names.]] Once I was known as Pharaoh. Then I was the artist formerly known as Pharaoh."
* An episode of ''[[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]]'' has the titular critic wonder why King Koopa from ''[[Super Mario Bros Super Show]]'' isn't simply called "Bowser," or at least "The Artist Formerly Known as Bowser."
