* Parodied by the ''Upright Citizens Brigade'', when a man tells a video store clerk that he had the title line in ''[[Star Wars]]''. The man claims that, in a scene that was cut in the final release, he wanders into the ''Millennium Falcon'' for no good reason, says, "I'm just so tired of all these star wars," and walks out.
** He does the same for ''[[Out of Africa]]''.

** Used straight in the first episode of the third season, where a demon asks each of his prisoners their names (with the insinuation that he will kill them if they actually claim one). [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Our protagonist responds quite cheerily, "I'm Buffy, the vampire slayer!" Cue the carnage.]]
** Also used in season 7, where Buffy was moonlighting as a counselor for troubled teens. ("Buffy the vampire slayer would break down this door." "And Buffy the counselor?" "Waits.")
*** [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] / [[Parodied Trope|parodied]] in "[[Day in The Limelight|Storyteller]]," when [[Heel Face Turn|Andrew]] spends the episode trying to make a documentary called ''Buffy, the Slayer of'' [[ItsIt Is Pronounced Tropay"Tro-PAY"|''Vam]]''[[Its Pronounced Tropay|PIRES]].
** There are a few episodes that do their own title drop, as well, such as "Lie To Me" and "Two to Go". Also, the musical episode, "Once More With Feeling", has the title in a line of the second-last song.
* Many episodes of ''Angel'' featured Title Drops, though not every one of them. It also wasn't necessarily a key moment of the episode. Prominent ones include "A Hole In The World" and "Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been".
