Line 9:
* [[Protagonist Title Fallacy]]: Which character the title refers to is clear, but that character is mistaken for the protagonist.
* [[The "The" Title Confusion]]: When nobody is quite sure if a work's title begins with a "the".

* ''[[Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines]]'' is popularly known as ''Stop That Pigeon'' or ''Stop The Pigeon'' because of its theme song. As a matter of fact, ''Stop That Pigeon'' was the series' working title, and instead of Dick Dastardly, a German baron was intended as the squadron leader.
** In an episode of ''Yogi's Treasure Hunt'', Dastardly captures a bunch of HB characters, and starts ''[[Cool and Unusual Punishment|torturing them with clips from the show]]''. One of them remarks "Oh no! Not these ''Stop The Pigeon'' cartoons!". Bonus points for the audio being the [[Ear Worm|"Stop The Pigeon" portion of the theme song looped over and over]] and the "clip" being Dastardly in a plane chasing the pigeon [[Wraparound Background|also looping over and over.]]
