Title Drop/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Drawn Together]]''

** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in "Lost in Parking Space, Part Two:"

'''Xandir:''' Alright, fair enough. }}

** The episode ends with Xandir [[Tempting Fate|saying it]] and [[Gory Discretion Shot|horrible sounds playing over the sudden fade to black.]]

* ''War Planets'' (a.k.a. ''[[Shadow Raiders]]'') gets a {{smallcaps| [[Title Drop]]}} during a [[Rousing Speech]] in the first season, before the attack on planet Remora: "We've stopped being planets ''at'' war and become planets ''of'' war!"

* An episode of ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' had an awesome {{smallcaps| [[Title Drop]]}}. In the episode "Money To Burn", Cobra... burns United States money, but as usual, GI Joe beats them.

* The end of the first [[Story Arc|arc]] of the ''[[Justice League]]'' cartoon has both a [[Mythology Gag]] ''and'' a {{smallcaps| [[Title Drop]]}}. Superman wonders if they shouldn't start a team, and give it a name they can be called by collectively.

'''Superman:''' More like a... ''[[Justice League]]''. }}

** In the same series (or rather, in the ''Unlimited'' season), a [[Title Drop]] was given to another [[DCAU]] series: ''[[Batman Beyond]]'' refers to {{spoiler|1=Amanda Waller's project to continue the [[Batman]] legacy, resulting in the conception of Terry McGinnis, Batman of said series}}.

** "Worst Episode EVER" actually drops it with Comic Book Guy's response to finding out he had a ''cardiac'' episode.

** And the episode where Homer meets a man who thinks he's Michael Jackson:

'''Homer:''' I'm Homer Simpson from The Simpsons. }}

** Also parodied in the ''[[Left Behind]]'' spoof.

'''Homer:''' Gasp! It's everywhere! }}

** And in ''Fear of Flying'', Marge watches a certain movie:

'''Everyone:''' ''Alive!'' }}

* With the name of the show also being the name of the title-character, title drops are common in ''[[Kim Possible]]'', but in the first movie, ''A Sitch in Time'', they also manage to drop the title of the opening lyrics of the theme-song into casual dialogue.

* Referenced in a ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode, where Peter is at the movies and hears the drops in ''[[Clear and Present Danger]]'' and ''[[As Good as It Gets]]'' (and also a parodic one, ''Superman IV: The Quest for Peace''). Later in the episode, a cop says "I don't appreciate drug addicts in my town. I'm a family guy!", much to Peter's delight.

'''Peter:''' So ''that's'' why it's called that... }}

** There was that early episode where the Griffins watch ''[[Eight Is Enough]]'' where the father hits the daughter multiple times then another character says "Dad! Eight is enough!" and then they all laugh. Even the Griffins were shocked.

** Batman also makes a [[Title Drop]] as the final line of the first season finale.

* ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'' lampshades this shamelessly in the episode "Marooned!" After their spaceship crashes on a distant planet, Ren confirms that they have no way to get home.

'''Stimpy:''' Just like the title of this cartoon! }}

* In an amusing aversion, in the finale of the third season of ''[[Re Boot]]'', the cast makes a gamble to have the User "reboot" the computer and thus restore Mainframe. When the screen goes blank, however, the User types in "ReStart". In a convention panel the creators lamented that they didn't think to title drop at that oh-so opportune moment.

* Battle tanks are for hardened soldiers, and you're trained only as an [[Invader Zim|invader, Zim!]]

* "Truly, they were an ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]''."

'''Shake:''' Don't tell me how to drive, jackass! }}

* Occasionally done in ''[[Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?]]'' The ACME agents might say, "Where on Earth is she now?" or villains trying to outdo Carmen would say, "Where on Earth is..." and insert their names instead. In the episode "Shaman Spirits," a news reporter said the title outright.

* ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'':

** also, in the 1987 series, after recounting their origin to April, Splinter finishes with, "...and that is how they became The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!"

* Lampshaded in one of the [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy|Billy & Mandy movies ]] where Grim immediately follows up his {{smallcaps|[[Title Drop]]}} with an aside, "like how I worked the title in?"

** The phrase "The Best Night Ever" is used several times in the episode of the same name.

** In "May The Best Pet Win!", it's the last line of Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash's "Finding a Pet" song:

'''Rainbow Dash:''' And '''may the best pet win!''' }}

* ''[[Here Comes the Grump]]'', in addition to its [[Title Theme Tune]], tends to have a [[Title Drop]] in the dialogue [[Once an Episode]], along the lines of "Look out, Terry! Here comes the Grump!"

* Not only does ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]'' mention the show's title, but in some episodes it references past episode titles.

* ''[[Transformers Prime]]'' tends to apply this in it's episode titles, such as in "Rock Bottom".

* ''[[Recess]]'' has episode title drops within a number of episodes:

** "Jinxed"

** Also shouted whenever a Woo-Fu item is contested. "Xiaolin Showdown!"

* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'', "Summer Belongs to You!" In addition to the song of the same name near the end, we get a title drop near the middle, when Phineas is trying to give Candace a pep talk:

'''Phineas:''' Summer doesn't belong to me. It belongs to everyone, and that includes you! }}

** "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together"
