* ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'' is a major offender in this regard. For example, there are three [[Bridge Bunnies]]. Megumi is part of the [[Love Dodecahedron]], so her name comes up a lot. Ruri is quite distinctive. But name the third. {{spoiler|Minato}}. While you're at it, name the guy with the bowl cut who joins the crew along with Akatsuki and Erina. {{spoiler|Admiral Munetake}}. Or the head chef {{spoiler|Ms. Howmei}}. The characters in the [[Show Within a Show]], ''Gekiganger 3'', are easier to identify by name than the cast of this show.
Line 94 ⟶ 93:
** This was actually a meta joke about how Andrew was the only member of the trio who had never appeared on the show before, so fans would likely be [[Remember the New Guy?|calling him that anyway]]. Originally Tucker himself was going to be in the group, but his actor wasn't available so they had to create someone new.
** He's the [[Big Bad]] of the [[Musical Episode]], he threatens to take Dawn to the underworld and make her his queen, he has many names... But he never actually gives one. The end credits say say 'sweet demon makeup done by...' and so the fandom has adopted the name Sweet for him ever since.
* [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|The rebooted ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'']] had this problem with the Cylon clones, especially the Sixes, which frequently had, but didn't use distinct names. It was important to know which you were watching (as they were distinct characters), but there was frequently very little way to tell. Of course, the fact they all impersonate each other anyway all the time didn't help. Avoided for the most part with the Eights when {{spoiler|Sharon Agathon took the callsign "Athena"}}, and names didn't matter as much with the other models as they had less differentiation. And they never even named the hallucinations, which got the [[Fan Nicknames]] Head!Six and Head!Baltar.
