- %%
- %% One quote per page, and please keep it short. Others go on the Quotes page.
- No matter what range of emotion you're feeling towards another character, the best way to express it is to say their name--preferably in either a hoarse whisper or [[ChewingTheScenery scenery-chomping]] cry. Even if no one's around to hear you, just ''thinking'' about that character is enough of a prompt. It's all but required if you're in the midst of rescuing your {{True Companion|s}}[=/=]{{Love Interest|s}} currently facing [[DamselInDistress imminent doom]], you're [[MeadowRun running towards each other]] in romantic rapture, or when [[ArchEnemy your mortal enemy]] has simply gone too far. Sometimes those last two [[FoeYay get confused]].
- Additionally, if your show features LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters this also serves a narrative purpose: When they appear again after not being seen for three arcs, clearly stating their name once more helps the viewer identify and remember them.
- Of course there are times (especially in {{anime}}) when [[NoIndoorVoice they overdo it]] (see BigWordShout)...
- Characters saying their own name can also fall under this trope, but if they do it incessantly, not for dramatic effect, that's PokemonSpeak.
- Many instances of this trope in Japanese works may also fall under FirstNameBasis. In Japanese culture, it is customary to use last names plus an honorific (usually "san", sometimes "senpai" for one's elders, "kun" for underlings, "dono" or "sama" for works set in older times, etc.) when addressing someone else, even directly (they rarely use the pronoun for "you" in formal settings although they do have a few for informal situations). Children, especially girls, will often use first names with friends, although adults will usually only do this if they've been friends since childhood or are otherwise [[TrueCompanions close buddies]]. But when a couple has [[RelationshipUpgrade moved ahead in their relationship]], they will often switch to using {{first name|Basis}}s as well. In media, the first time a character calls their romantic interest by their first name (whether out of affection or distress), the scene often ends up being an example of this trope.
- Can overlap with AngryFistShake.
- Compare FirstNameBasis, FirstNameUltimatum and YouSquared, SkywardScream. If you have a lot of people, all doing a "Say My Name" to each other, it's a RockyRollCall.
- Contrast IKnowYourTrueName where speaking it has much more dangerous implications.
- Examples of this trope are often subjected to MemeticMutation.
- Not to be confused with SpellMyNameWithAThe.

- * ''Manga/{{Akira}}'': Tetsuo!
- ** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcQ5nmWAMXk KAAANEEEDAAA!!!!!!]]
- ** These are actually listed as "memorable quotes" on imdb. So memorable, in fact, that quoting it on any forum or ImageBoard will inevitably lead to a whole thread of people quoting other examples of this trope; if it isn't used first, it will pop up eventually.
- * One of the pioneers in this is ''Manga/AshitaNoJoe''
- * ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'': JYUUUUDDAAIIMEEEE!!!!
- ** There are actually entire compilations of all of Gokudera's "Jyuudaime"'s. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPGP0RVRJOI It's very long]]. (Did we mention that that compilation was only for roughly about slightly past '''half''' of the anime?)
- * ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'': LINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! said {{Love Interest|s}} Gourry at least once in the novels, manga, anime, games...
- ** Lina herself is prone to screaming out everyone else's names when they're in danger, namely in the second season of the anime.
- * Very common in {{shoujo|Demographic}}. Many fans got their first taste of the anime-style of this with ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' ("Miaka!" "Tamahome!") until [[MemeticMutation it became a meme]] associated with that show. Suboshi also does this quite a bit in the fist OVA series: "Yui-sama! ''Yui-sama!!''"
- ** The trope in shojo is probably as old as shojo itself. The 1970s series ''Manga/CandyCandy'' delights us with a scene where Candy and her best friend Annie are reconciled. A few minutes of "Candyyyy!" "Anniiie, oh Annie!" "Candyyyy!" "Annie!" "Oh ''Candy''!" ping ponged with such strong feeling that (at least in the Finnish dub) you can [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything close your eyes and see something else than]] little girls running towards each other on a meadow of fragrant blossoms and sparkling dewdrops...
- *** In case of the Finnish dub it doesn't really help that the voice actors are clearly adult, and very recognisable as two of the maybe five female voices TV dubbing had at its disposal at the time. It's rather jarring to get love scene vibes with little girls on the screen, voiced by any combination of the following: ''TheMoomins'', ''TheSmurfs'', ''TaoTao'', ''WesternAnimation/AlfredJKwak'', ''TheCareBears'', and ''DoctorSnuggles''.
- * "DEEEEEDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Courtesy of Parn in the ''Roleplay/RecordOfLodossWar'' OAV.
- * Ginji from ''Manga/GetBackers'': "BAAAAN-CHAAAAN!!!" "KAZU-CHAAAAN!!!"
- ** In the manga, Ginji greets Shido and Makubex respectively after his first time seeing them in ages: "Shido! Shido! Shido!" "Makubex! Makubex! Makubex!"... ''both'' multiplied by a few more times.
- ** Ginji actually greets all of his friends (even [[PunchClockVillain Maguruma!]]) by going SuperDeformed, calling their name and waving a fan with the kanji for "happiness" on it.
- ** Kazuki's "JUUUBEEEI!" in the first Infinity Fortress Arc when Juubei looks on the verge of death after his battle with Kazuki. The manga artist took the liberty of devoting almost a full-length page to the speech bubble.
- ** Emishi's "SHIDO-HAN!" speech bubble when it looks like Shido's been killed by Liu Mengyan's flunkies is almost that big.
- * ''Anime/HandMaidMay'' lampshaded this, as the characters [[ShowWithinAShow watch a cheesy soap opera]] whose cast communicates ''entirely'' this way to each other.
- * ''Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'': "Kaito!" "Lucia!"
- * In ''Anime/{{Simoun}}'', the fact that Angulas didn't say Aaeru's name at one point was a plot point... as was the moment when she actually did. And in the final episode, Yun happens to say Dominura's name MeanwhileInTheFuture while thinking of her.
- * Episode 13 of ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'': "Momomiya-san! Stop! Momomiya-san! ICHIGO!"
- * The end of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' was called "Say My Name". Nanoha instructs Fate to call her by her name so that they can become friends, and Fate [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming tries it out a few times]].
- ** Episode 12 of ''A's'' has it also, with Vita repeatedly calling out Hayate's name.
- * ''Anime/VisionOfEscaflowne'' "Van!" "Allen!" "Hitomi!" No, seriously: Greater than 50% of [[CatGirl Merle's]] dialogue consists solely of "Van-sama!!"
- * ''Manga/{{Gantz}}'': TAE-CHAAAAAAN!!! KEI-CHAAAAAAN!!!
- * ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' anime, elevator scene with Syaoran and Sakura. Syaoran yells, "SAKURAAAAAAAAAA" as she plunges into the depths of wherever. Since this is the first time that Syaoran's ever done this instead of using his usual dismissive HeyYou, it's a sign of RelationshipUpgrade.
- * Nagi of ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'' calls out Hayate's name whenever she's in trouble, as does Nishisawa once or twice. He will always appear immediately out of nowhere to save the day once so summoned; on at least one occasion he even apparently waited out of sight until Nagi called out his name before saving her from a rampaging robot.
- ** This happens excessively - if ANYONE calls out for help, especially if they use his name, he will show up to help them. To the point that it's a shocking surprise in the few cases when he DOESN'T show up.
- * ''Manga/InuYasha'': INUYASHA! KAGOME! This show takes name-yelling to new heights. Mercilessly parodied in a commercial for the show, with moments taken from all across the series' run.
- ** Which can be seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kecaTtDS2o here]].
- ** In Kikyou's debut sequence, her name was six or seven of Inuyasha's lines in a row.
- ** To get specific, Inuyasha says Kagome's name 568 times in the whole series, while Kagome says Inyuasha's '''971''' times--the majority of both being screams. Out of 167 episodes.
- * "RANMA!!! AKANE!!!" moments are also very common in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', Rumiko Takahashi's earlier work.
- ** Played for laughs when the normally {{belligerent|SexualTension}} Ranma and Akane turn into SickeninglySweethearts because of [[LovePotion love mushrooms]]. Instead of using their actual names, they call out to each other using terms of affection.
- ---> '''Ranma:''' BABYYYYY!
- * Taken to the extreme in the teaser trailer for the third ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' movie revolving around the two, where the all Ichigo screams is RUKIA!!!!! In the most anguished and dramatic way possible. The movie is actually tagged as "Fade to Black; Call out Your Name".
- ** The fandom has taken notice of this, so much that it is jokingly called the [[MemeticMutation "Rukiagh" scream]]. [[DontExplainTheJoke As in]]...'''''[[NoIndoorVoice RUUUUUKIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHH]]!!!'''''
- ** By the end of the Soul Society arc most of Rukia's lines consist of "Ichigo!!" "Renji!!" "Nii-sama!!"
- ** [[BreakTheCutie "AIZEN-TAAAAAAIIIIICHOOOOOOOOOOU!!!!"?]]
- ** [[BigBadassWolf Captain Sajin Komamura's]] enraged cry of betrayal: "KANAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"?
- *** And before that: AAAIIIIZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!
- ** "HINAMORI!" seemed to be Toushirou's catchphrase at a certain point in the manga.
- ** Orihime [[MemeticMutation notoriously]] repeats "Kurosaki-kun!" throughout the Hueco Mundo arc. Interestingly, during the end of the Lust mini-arc, the original version of the manga makes clear that it's a kind of MadnessMantra, in a way that no other medium, not even the original version of the anime, could do. Normally, Ichigo's name is written in kanji, but when Orihime just starts chanting it, she does so in hiragana.
- ** Also the NII-[=SAMAs=] we're getting in the Zanpakutou filler. Damn it, Rukia!
- ** There's a good deal of "[[MyNameIsNotDurwood CHAD!]]" as well.
- ** Even Yamamoto gets in on the 'calling names out loudly' trend in a less dramatic manner when he sees Ukitake and Kyoraku fall after consecutive attacks by Wonderweiss and Starrk.
- ** And now; [[spoiler: TSUKISHIMA!!!!]].
- ** The most epic one
- --->'''Zangetsu''': Retreat and you will age. Hesitate and you will die. SCREAM!! SAY MY NAME!!!
- --->'''Ichigo''': [[LargeHam ZANGETSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!]]
- * There was a puzzle in the 2003 MIT Mystery Hunt ([[http://web.mit.edu/puzzle/www/03/www.acme-corp.com/teamGuest/Training/tp-p.html Whoa - I know Kiaido!]]) which consisted entirely of shots of characters doing this very thing.
- * ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'': "YURIAAAAAAAAA!!! YURIAAAAAAGGGGHGHGHGHGHH!!!" "KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!"
- ** Jagi is particularly fond of this trope. He also adds emphasis in the translated ''[[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Hokuto Musou]]'': "SayMyName, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitches!]]"
- * The ''Anime/{{Gundam}}'' franchise ''loves this'' to death.
- ** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'': "HEEEEROOOOO!" "Relena!" "TROWAAAAAAA!" "Quatre...!" "Zeeeeeechs!"
- ** ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'': "Raaaaaaain!" "Domoooooon!" "Chibodeeeeee! Geooooorge! Argoooo! Sai Saiciiiii!" "MASTER ASIA!" "KYIIOOOOJJIIIIII!"
- ** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'': "Casval-niisan!" "Amuro!" "LALAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!"
- ** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'': "HOOOWAARD MAAAASOOON!!!!!!!!!" "RIB-BOOONS!!!" " '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUe83vpiKC0 LOOCCCCCKKKKOOOONNN!]]''' " "CHRISTINA SIERRAAA!!!!!!!" "MARIE! MARIE! MARIEEEEE!!!!!" "COLONEL SMIRNOOOOOOV!!!!!" "BRING STABITY!" "HILLING!" "GUN-DAAAMMMMM!" "CELESTIAL BEING!"
- *** This little gem from Lockon at the beginning of his last battle: "That's a Throne... '''''[[YouKilledMyFather ALI-AL]] [[ItsPersonal SAACHEZ]]!!!'''''"
- *** In particular, the cast of ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 00 Gundam]]'' have a tendency to shout characters' ''{{full|NameBasis}}'' [[FullNameBasis names]], causing much {{Narm}} (see "[[MemeticMutation HOOOWAARD MAAAASOOON!!!!!!!!!]], above).
- ** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE'': "ASEMUUUUUUU!!!" "ZEHEARTTT!!!"
- *** "KIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
- ** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack'': "CHAAAAAAAAR!"
- ** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory'': "GATOOOOOOOO!"
- ** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLc1pkOz4jA "ATHRUUUUUUUUUN!!!" "KIRAAAAAAAAA!!!"]] "FLAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!" "DEAAARKAAA!!" "YZAAAAAAK!!" "NIICCCOOOOOLLLLL!!!" "MARRUE RAMIUS!!!"
- ** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'': "STELLAAAAAAAAA!!!" "FREEEDOOOM!!!" "KIRAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
- ** ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'': KAAAAAAAMIIIIIIIYUUUUUUU!!: "FOOOOOOOOOUR!" "HAMAN KARNNN!"
- ** ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'': "TIFAAA!" "GARRODOU!" "NEE-SAN!"
- ** ''Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam'': "KATEJINA-SAN!" "USSO!"
- * ''Manga/{{Chobits}}'': When Hideki is running to [[spoiler:save Chii from being violated]] he yells "CHIIIII!" very loudly.
- * ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' "OZMA!" "RAN-KA!!" "SHERYL!" "ALTO!!!" [[spoiler: [[KilledOffForReal "MICHEEELLLLLLL!!"]] ]]
- * ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' has an episode where Taichi and Yamato manage to knock each other off a cliff. Taichi manages to grab on to the cliff with one hand while Yamato grabs onto him with one hand. SayMyName ensues.
- ** ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' does this kind of thing a lot, several of the first evolutions to Champion level (at least) were proceeded by a round (or two) of SayMyName between the kids and their partner digimon.
- ** From ''Anime/DigimonSavers'', [[spoiler: [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome KURAAAAATTTTTAAAAA!!!!!!]]]]
- *** [[spoiler: DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMONNNNNN!!!!!!!]]
- * ''Manga/{{Minami-ke}}'''s ShowWithinAShow "Sensei and Ninomiya-kun". [[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=u8h9eOZTv48 SENSEIII! NINOMIYA-KUN!]]
- * Very common in ''Manga/AiYoriAoshi''.
- * ''Anime/HeroicAge'' is all about this. In any scene in which she appears, Princess Dhianeila will say "Age," (pronounced "Ay-ee-gee") the name of the WildChild protagonist. Problem is, given the insane level of [[PsychicPowers telepathy]] she has, it's entirely possible that she is contacting him directly, though no evidence of this is ever shown in the series.
- * In ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'':
- ** Shinji does this in his dreams. Shinji has a LOT of these moments, and it spells out a lot of how he relates to various people. Asuka is the only one he's on a first-name basis with (even calling for help). Adults get (first name-san), Rei is always just ''Ayanami'', Kaworu is "Kaworu-kun".
- ** Asuka also is constantly telling -or yelling- his.
- * ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'':
- ** ''NIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!''
- ** When the Anti-Spiral bites the dust, the whole Dai-Gurren Brigade does ''SIIMOOOOON!!!'' when it turns out the Lagann survived.
- *** To a smaller extent, Viral does the same just prior to ripping the Lagann out of Gurren and throwing it at the Anti-Spiral.
- ** Might not count, but [[WhamEpisode episode 8]] has Simon yelling ''ANIKIIIIIII!!!'' when it looks like [[spoiler:Kamina died. He did, but [[{{Badass}} not for a few more minutes]]]].
- *** Kamina's "OYAJIIIIIIII!" when [[spoiler: his DisappearedDad's skeleton is found.]]
- * By the last few episodes of ''Anime/{{S-Cry-Ed}}'', 50% of the dialogue was: "KAZUMA!" "RYUHOU!"
- * Future Trunks has a memorable "FFFUUURRRIIIIIZZZAAAAAAAAAA!!!" in ''Manga/DragonBall Z'' right before he completely wastes Freeza.
- ** Goku's enemies are also fond of screaming his name during their fight scenes.
- ** Especially Broly.
- * Parodied in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' when Hohenheim and Alphonse reunite. ''"Father!"'' ''"My vintage suit of armour!"''
- ** Alphonse's frequent cries of "Nii-san! Nii-san!" (or "Brother!" in the English dub).
- *** Ed gets his fair share of screaming 'ALPHONSE!' or 'AL!'
- ** "When we're alone, the Colonel always calls me Riza." [[OhCrap "Shit...!"]] [[spoiler:"Just kidding. [[Awesome/FullmetalAlchemist Thanks for blowing your cover.]]" "DAMN IT!!!"]]
- *** And "COLONEL!"
- *** While we're on the subject of Mustang and Hawkeye... '''"''[[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming LIEUTENANT!!]]''"'''
- ** [[BodyguardCrush YOUNG LOOORD!]]
- *** '''"''LAN FAAAAAAN!''"'''
- ** And KIMBLEEEEEEEE!!
- ** "HOENHEIIIIIIIIME!" - [[spoiler:screamed by Pride, just as Hoenheim was [[SealedEvilInACan sealing him in a giant earthen dome.]]]]
- ** Winry yells "ED!" an awful lot, too.
- ** "SELIM!" - [[spoiler:screamed by Ed as he [[DevourTheDragon invades]] [[KarmicDeath Pride's]] [[YourHeadAsplode Philosopher's Stone]].]]
- ** "HAVOC!" - [[spoiler:screamed by Mustang as [[WolverineClaws Lust]] [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impales]] [[UnluckyEverydude Havoc]].]]
- ** "It hurts…! [[TearJerker Help me]]… ''LUST''…!"
- * ''Manga/SailorMoon''. "USAKOOOOO!" "MAMO-CHAAAAAAAN!" "USAGI-CHAAAAAAN!" "USAGIIIIIIIIII!" (from Rei)
- ** At the end of season 4 [[spoiler: "Helios!" "Chibi-usa!" "That's the first time... you said my name."]]
- ** "SERENITY!" "ENDYMIOOOOOOOON!"
- * In ''Toushou Anime/{{Daimos}}'', this is also featured in form of '''"KAZUYAAAAAAA!!!" "ERIKAAAAAA!!!!"''' Fans see this as a precursor of the one regarding about "Miaka!" "Tamahome!" as listed above.
- * Many times between Renton and Eureka in ''Anime/EurekaSeven'', usually when one is falling through the sky and the other is trying to catch them in a mecha.
- ** Also, ''"ANEMONEEEEEEEEEE!"''
- * ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'': "HIKARU! UMI! FUU!" It's almost as prevalent as the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' example mentioned below.
- * ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': SASUKE! Gaara calls him "Uchiha Sasuke" so many times while the two of them are fighting (both whispered and shouted) that you could make a drinking game out of it, as [[http://tv.ign.com/articles/765/765835p1.html at least one episode reviewer]] observed.
- ** And from their fight after the Chunin exams: "NARUTOOOOOO!" "SASUKEEEEEE!"
- ** 'Sasuke-kun' was young Sakura's... catch-phrase? Half her dialogue? Anyway, she said it so constantly for so long that any of her voice actresses must have either been writhing or taking it as a personal challenge to find out how much variety they could get out of this one line over and over and ''over'' again.
- ** The Guardian Ninjas filler arc also has Asuma and [[spoiler:his enemy and former friend Kazuma]] yelling each other's names a lot, and Naruto often yells Sora's name. Later on, people yell [[spoiler:Asuma]]'s name quite often around the time that [[spoiler:he dies]].
- *** Especially at the very end of episode 79, [[spoiler:from Shikamaru]]: [[spoiler:"...ASUMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"]]
- ** There's also Hinata's "Naruto-kun...", although it's rarely shouted.
- *** {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in an omake in Shippuden. Kakashi teases Hinata about her stammering "Naruto-kuns" in a recent episode being a big hit with the male viewers. That inspires Sakura to launch into a long litany of "Naruto-kuns" herself, as Kakashi and Hinata call out different moods for her to act out with each one.
- ** Naruto also likes to shout "SAKURA-CHAN!" quite a lot.
- ** "Gai-sensei!" "Lee!" "Gai-sensei!" "Lee!"
- * ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': "SEIBAAA!" "SHIROU!"
- ** "Kotomine....KIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEIIIIIII!"
- * Yufa from ''Ragnarok the Animation'': "'''KEOUGH NII-SAN!!'''"
- * Judai from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' had always been incredibly fond of saying peoples' names, but when it came to Johan, he really pulled out all the stops. Poor Asuka's lines in all of seasons 3 and 4 were reduced to her just saying "Judai..." in moments when it looked like he was in a tough corner, and "Judai!" when it looked like he was in serious trouble.
- * The regular Anime/{{Yugi|Oh}} gets this a lot, too. As does the Other Yugi (or "Mou Hitori No Boku" - "other me".) And Jounouchi. And Anzu. And... well, a lot of people, really.
- * ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'' has Jack screaming "KARIIIIIIIII!"[[hottip:*:Carly's Japanese name is Kari]] at least two dozen times in Episode 59. [[TearJerker It isn't funny]] ''[[NotHimself at]]'' ''[[KillTheOnesYouLove all]]''.
- * ''Anime/BloodPlus'': "SAAAAAAAAAAYYYAAAAAAAAA!" Then, when the person speaking ''is'' Saya, it will inevitably become "DIVA!"
- ** '''''[[NarmCharm "PHANTOM!!"]]'''''
- * ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'': "SHANA!!!" "YUJI!!" <-- Actually of Plot importance, because Shana actually got her name from Yuji, and Yuji is usually not referred to by his name by the Flame Haze, because they consider him an object rather than a person.
- ** "He didn't even ask if I WANTED a name... Sha... na."
- * Played with in ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'': [[spoiler: when Batou yells 'MOTOKOOOOOOOO!!!', only to later find out she's perfectly fine, and the other Section 9 members tease him about it.]]
- ** But used straight in TheMovie during the climax when [[spoiler:the Puppet Master's body is blown to hell and Motoko appears to have died after merging with him. She gets better after finding a new body]].
- *** More about the immediate issue that [[spoiler:her head had been blown clean off by the snipers, as well. Thankfully Batou's and the Puppetmaster's interference resulted in the severed head itself staying intact, so the braincase could be put into a new body.]]
- ** Also used in the ''Stand Alone Complex'' {{P|layStation2}}S2 game, where the antagonist had a cybernetic body that had the exact same specs as the Major's own. Batou singled out the impostor by yelling "MOTOKOOOOOOOOOO!!!" and shooting the one that reacted.
- -->'''The Major''': "So, how did you know that that wasn't me?"
- -->'''Batou''': "I just knew... Besides, you'd never react just 'cause I called out your name."
- * ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'': "ASHITAKAAAAAAA!" "SAAAAAAAAN!"
- ** And from another Miyazaki film, specifically ''Anime/CastleInTheSky'': "SHEETAAAAAAAA!"
- * Used often in ''Anime/PrincessTutu'', particularly in two climactic scenes in the second season. (Some fans were jarred when the dub's decision to translate the main character's name to keep ThemeNaming meant that [[spoiler:Fakir]] screams '''DUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!''' in one such scene.)
- * The very first line in the anime of ''Manga/DNAngel'' is actually an example of this trope: ''DAAAAAAAAARK!!!''
- ** More plot significantly, the scene where Daisuke [[spoiler:calls Riku by her name when he tells her he's in love with her, not her sister Risa. Up to that point he'd always called both of them "Harada-san", prompting her to angrily complain she can't tell which one of them he's referring to. Annoyingly subverted both in that he still uses "-san" to a girl he's going out with, and she still calls him "Niwa-kun".]]
- * At the absolute end of ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'' where, for the first time in the series, [[spoiler:Hibiki calls to Dita by her name.]]
- * ''Anime/RomeoXJuliet'': [[JapaneseRanguage ROMIOOOOOOOOOO! JURIETTOOOOOOOOOOOOO]]!
- * ''DotHack'': "SHUUUGOO!" "REEENAAA!" Particularly when [[spoiler: Rena is kidnapped in-game]].
- * ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'': "ITALIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
- ** "ENGLAAAAAND!"
- *** (faints) "LATVIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
- **** "DOITSUUUUUUUUU!"
- * ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'': "KAORU-DONO!!!!" "KENSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!"
- ** Or, in the [[{{Macekre}} disconcerting]] (or arguably, SoBadItsGood) Spanish dub, ''"Kenshiiii"''.
- * ''Anime/CodeGeass'': "LELOOOOOUUUCH!" "SUZAKUUUUUU!" "SHIRLEEEEEEY!" "NUNALLYYYYYYY!" "Xingke, Xingke, Xingke!"
- ** Naoto! Inoue! Euphy! Chigusa. ZERO!!! Anya! Xingke! Raksha... The list goes on. Some names even come up multiple times.
- *** Not the name but close enough. [[spoiler: ONII-SAMAAAAA!!!!]] It's a TearJerker.
- ** Watashiwa...ZEROOOOOOOOOO!
- ** Episode 10 of R2 has [[TheChessmaster Lelouch]] [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome one-upped on the battlefield by Xingke]]. Cue '''"XIIIINGKEEEE!!!"'''
- ** Surprisingly, by breaking the laws of writing through the sheer [[RuleOfCool Power of Awesome,]] Jeremiah Gottwald does this to ''himself.''
- --> '''Jeremiah Gottwald:''' You can't hit me! JEREMIAHGOTTWAAALD!
- * ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'': "KAAASHIIIM!!" "GAUUUROOOON!!!"
- * ''LightNovel/TrinityBlood'': "Kill me, Esther!" "Your lordship!" "Kill me, Esther!" "Your lordship!" "Look. Here's a sword, Esther. Seriously, kill me." "Your lordship!"
- * In ''Manga/OnePiece'', whenever a character gets injured in a battle that other crew members are watching or participating in, someone close to them typically yells their name. Examples include Sanji yelling his female crewmates' names, Nami yelling Robin's name and Robin yelling Chopper's name. Interestingly enough, [[spoiler:When Usopp]] is disguised as [[spoiler:Sogeking]], in desperate situations, his crewmates yell out his real name, rather than his assumed one, even though they're playing along with his masquerade (with the exceptions of Luffy and Chopper, who can't see through his PaperThinDisguise).
- ** During Enies Lobby, "ROOOOOOOBIIIIIIIIIN!!!" was Luffy's catchphrase.
- ** Nami is a bit infamous for this. Does no one remember "ARLONG! ARLONG! ARLONG!"?
- *** The anime [[ShipTease does not help]] with the [[PowerPerversionPotential way her voice cries out for "LUFFY!"]] This has led to many a RunningGag amongst pervy fans.
- ** And now, courtesy of the [[RescueArc War at Marineford Arc]], we have these brotherly calls:
- --->'''Luffy''': ACCCCCEEEEEEEEE!
- --->'''Ace''': LUUUUUUUFFFFFY!
- * ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'': "YUKIMURAAAAA!!".
- ** '''''"TEZUKAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"''''' in [[ScreenToStageAdaptation Tenimyu]].

- *** Also quieter, but [[NightmareFuel scary]]: "Rip. Van. ''Winkle''..."
- * ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': "PIKAPI!" "PIKACHUUU!!" In the recent movies, Pikachu will be replaced with Dawn (though Pikachu can still be put in danger).
- ** Pikachu is still the king of this trope in the movies. Dawn hardly ever yells anyone's name.
- *** Ash seems to yell "Pikachu!" or "TEAM ROCKET!" at least once an episode.
- ** This trope's dramatic effect is lost, but it is still used in the Orre games. In XD, it causes the called Pokemon to focus and heighten its accuracy. In both games, it also snapped a Pokemon out of any induced slumber. Most importantly, however, it's one of only three ways to snap a Shadow Pokemon out of Hyper and Reverse Modes, a state not even the Pokemon Center can cure.
- * In ''VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders Dolores, I'' Dolores only used her [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Vector Trap]] [[ConservationOfNinjutsu "vanishing tricks"]] after James Links pleading using her name [[spoiler:which he had never mentioned before to her, he just call her "ojou-chan".]]
- * ''[[Anime/{{Bakugan}} Bakugan Battle Brawlers]]'': When [[spoiler:his Guardian Bakugan Wyvern is destroyed]], the only thing Joe can do is helplessly scream her name over and over again.
- * A [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming cute version]] of this in ''Manga/{{Eyeshield 21}}'': after [[SecretKeeper dutifully keeping Sena's secret]] and cheering only for "Eyeshield 21," Suzuna joyfully cries "SE~NAAA~!!" when he finally reveals himself.
- * The ending theme of ''Manga/RoseOfVersailles'' ends with Andre's heartfelt cry of "Oscar... OSCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARR!!!!"
- ** He also screams her name more than once in the canon, and Oscar often replies with "AAAAAANDREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
- * In ''Manga/{{Monster}}'', we have [[spoiler: Wolfe]], who demands that Tenma says his name before [[spoiler: he dies.]] (Having one's name stripped away is an ongoing theme, and that character is a particularly good example thereof.)
- ** And we have Tenma and Nina crying and breathing each other's names every time they see each other. Pent up sexual tension much?
- * ''Manga/SaintSeiya'': "ATHEEEEENAAAAAAA!" "SAORI-SAAAAAAAAN!" "MARIIIIIIIN!" "MAAAAASTEEEEEEER!" "SEEEEEEIYAAAAAAA!" "SHIIIIIRYUUUUUU!" "BROOOOTHEEEEER!"
- * Joshua Christopher in ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'' combines this with a MadnessMantra in the manga: "Sis. Sis. Sis." And then there's Aion shouting "PANDAEMONIUM!!!!" several times in rage in the manga, Chrono calling for "ROSETTE!" when she's in danger, and more examples that would make this line much longer than it needs to be.

- * In the last few episodes of ''Manga/VictorianRomanceEmma'', all Emma does is to whisper the name of the person that is currently talking to her. The manga (not finished at the time) has a completely different ending, and she can still speak in full sentences there.
- * ''Manga/{{Kaiji}}'': "SAHARAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
- ** I'm surprised no one's mentioned this, but if you made a drinking game with non-alcoholic beer out of how often any character would say "Kaiji!" or "Kaiji-kun!!" in a scene, you'd die of alcohol poisoning by the end of the 3rd episode.
- * Through the course of ''Literature/ArashiNoYoruNi'', Mei and Gabu speak/yell the other's name in times of peril and/or uncertainty.
- * Parodied by Ah-chan's friends in one episode of ''Manga/AoiHana''.
- ** And played straight when Yasuko calls Fumi's name during their date.
- * HARUKAAAAAA!!! from ''Anime/{{Noein}}''.
- * ''Anime/MazingerZ'': "KOUJI-KUUUUUUN!" SAYAKA-SAAAAAAN!" Kouji and Sayaka often yelled each other's name [[BattleCouple when one of them was in danger]]... or when they were pissed off at each other... [[BelligerentSexualTension which happened often]] since they were the prototype of couple formed by an IdiotHero and a {{Tsundere}}.
- ** [[spoiler:MORI MORI-HAKASEEEEEEEEE!!!!!]] shouted by Kouji when the formerly mentioned commited his HeroicSacrifice.
- * ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}:'' IIIIIIIII-ZAAAAAAAAAA-YAAAAAAAAAAA! appears to be Shizuo's favorite word in the Japanese language.
- * ''Literature/BattleRoyale'': Did it, YUTAKAAAAAAAAA!!!!
- * ''Manga/MedakaBox'': [[http://i43.tinypic.com/2i21w92.jpg Medaka overjoyed that Zenkichi is not dead]] [[http://i44.tinypic.com/bi9chf.jpg and realizing that he is a Badass Normal.]]
- * ''LightNovel/KyoKaraMaoh'' has lead Shibuya 'TheMessiah' Yuuri at the center of everyone's attention, all the time, with one or two notable examples. So he gets his name called so constantly that ''heika!'' ('your majesty'--he's king, it's the premise) is the most common word in the script, since he gets it from Gunter constantly, Conrad regularly, and Gwendal in extreme circumstances, as well as from random subjects and people he's just met. Conrad also calls him Yuuri in intense situations on and off, depending on how he's feeling, and Wolfram's impassioned exclamations of his fiance's name are to be counted on anytime anything dangerous happens, like he thinks it'll somehow protect the wimp. Shori is also good for a 'Yuuri' or 'Yu-chan' pretty reliably, and [[spoiler:Murata]] comes out with a good number of dramatic 'Shibuya's.
- ** Yuuri himself, meanwhile, does plenty of name-calling. Especially Conrad, especially during the Arm Arc.
- ** There are other instances of names being scrupulously avoided: [[spoiler:Murata whenever he goes to talk to Shinou in the temple]] is a good example, as well as the way Murata and Shori choose to address each other: 'Friend of my little brother' and 'older brother of my friend,' and Wolfram's determined address of his brother [[HalfHumanHybrid Conrad]] as 'Weller-kyo.'
- *** [[spoiler: This last spectacularly shattered in the scene at the burnt church where Yuuri and Conrad are both missing, presumed dead, and then they find Conrad's severed arm... COOOOOOOONRAAAAAAAAAAADD! Tops most of his 'Yuuri's.]]
- * ''Anime/KimagureOrangeRoad'': Ushiko-san! Ushiko-san! -- Umau-san! Umau-san! Unusual in that they are very minor characters; this was all they said.
- ** Played straighter by Kyouske: "Hikaru-chan! Ayukawa!"
- * Episode 8 and 9 of ''Manga/RozenMaiden'' treat us time and again to [[ReplacementGoldfish "KAAAZUUUKIIIII!"]]
- * ''Manga/EtCetera'' gives us the regular "MINGCHAO!!!", most of it being delivered by Baskerville.
- * The majority of Wataru's dialogue directed towards Misturu in the ''Literature/BraveStory'' anime is him screaming "ASHIKAWAAAAAA!". Repeatedly.
- * This is taken to ridiculous levels in an issue of ''Manga/Gunm'', where a character desperately needs to call out to another but due to complicated circumstances can't say her name. So what does she say? A "Where are you?" or "Can you hear me?" would have done nicely. But instead she says ''nothing''. Seriously.
- * In ''Manga/HanaKimi'', a [[spoiler: remembered sex scene features Nanba and Kanako yelling each others names, which apparently turns them on...?]]
- * ''Manga/LoneWolfAndCub'': Papa!
- * While not extremely prominent in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', the very last episode of the anime... "HARUHIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!" "SENPAI!!" Not surprising, Tamaki is much more dramatic about it than Haruhi.
- ** This trope is also parodied in episode 19 when the girls from Lobelia academy force Haruhi to be in their play, where she is cast as the helpless maiden opposite Benio as the male protagonist. Her only line is "Frederick-sama" which she says over and over in the same monotone voice.
- * ''Manga/UragiriWaBokuNoNamaeWoShitteiru'': Hotsuma does this when Shuusei is discovered to be missing. Complete with some GrayRainOfDepression.
- ** He does it again in episode 11 when he finally finds Shuusei.
- * ''Manga/ZeroSevenGhost'': Teito is also very fond of saying/yelling/whispering his best friend's name.
- ** "MIKAGEEEEE!!!"
- * ''Anime/{{Heroman}}'': "Hiiiiromaaan!" "JYOOOOOIIIIIIIII!!!!"
- * ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' features the male leads shouting the names of whoever is in danger at the moment. "KUWABARA!!!" "URAMESHI!!!"
- * ''Manga/DeathNote'': "Matsuda!!!!!"
- * The 1970's anime of ''The Little Mermaid'' has Fritz the Whale say:
- -->'''Fritz:''' "Maaarrriiiiiiiiinnnaaaa!"
- * ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' has a lot of these:
- ** "DIOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
- ** "MIIIISTAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
- ** "GYYYROOOOOO!!!!"
- ** "JOOOOOHNNNYYYYYYYYY!!!"
- * ''Anime/FutureGPXCyberFormula'': "HAYAATOOOOOO!!!"
- * From the dramatic TakeMyHand scene in the final episode of ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'': HIMEMIYA, HIMEMIYA, [[TearJerker HIMEMIYAAAAAA!]]
- * ''Anime/RahXephon'' has Kuki in episode 23 yelling "KUUNUUGIIIIIII!!!" in panic when the latter is about to go down in a TakingYouWithMe scenario.
- * ''Manga/DGrayMan'': [[BigBrotherInstinct LEEEEEEEENALEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!]]
- ** [[TrueCompanions LAVIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!! KANDA! ALLEN!!!]]
- * ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'': [[DarkMagicalGirl Kyouko]] at the end of Episode 8: [[spoiler:SAYAKAAAAAAAAA!!!]]
- ** And in episode 10: [[spoiler: "MADOKA!" "Homura... You finally called me by my first name... I'm happy." * MercyKill * ]]
- * In ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'', Nagisa's name gets shouted out that way several times throughout the series. The reasons for that are different every time. There are some other people too who get their name shouted out dramatically.
- * ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex II'': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8PEqI-YVvw KIIIIIIHAAARAAA-KUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!]] times three, courtesy of Accelerator.
- * ''VisualNovel/{{Air}}'': Haruko in [[TearJerker episode 12]]: [[spoiler:MISUZUUUUUUUU!!!]]
- * ''Manga/BlackButler'' "Sebastian! Sebastian! Sebastian!" Mostly [[HoYay said by Ciel]], but Mey-Rin also calls Sebastian's name sometimes.
- * Midorima of ''Manga/KurokoNoBasuke'' is a common offender, particularly in the first Seirin vs. Shuutoku match.
- ** Aomine and Kise exchange this trope constantly during the match between their teams. Quickly reaches {{Narm}} levels, especially with Kise, who is executing this trope while calling Aomine "Aominecchi".
- * ''Manga/BakusouKyoudaiLetsAndGo'' features characters shouting ''their racing cars' name''. In the anime, [[UpToEleven they do this almost every freaking minute]], and this doesn't include any time their cars are attacked or damaged.
- --> '''[[LargeHam Go]]'': "FLY! MAGNUUUUM!"
- * ''Manga/GetterRobo'': Every time Musashi dies, we're greeted with this:
- --> '''Ryouma''': "MUSASHIIIIIIIIIII!"
- ** ''Getter Robo Armageddon'' has two awesome moments coming from Go:
- --> '''Go''': ''[after being released]'' "''CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGE! SHIIIIIIIIIIN DRAAAAAAGOOOOOOOON!''"
- --> '''Go''': ''[after realizing who the pilot of Black Getter is]'' "''RYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUMAAAAAAAAAAAA!''"
- * Weaponized at the climax of ''Anime/{{Persona 4}}'' [[spoiler: As Yu is being absorbed into Ameno-Sagiri, the entire Investigation Team calls out to him, simultaneously evolving their Personas into their ultimate form.]] SEMPAAAAIII!/YU-SEMPAAAI!/YUUUUUUU!/NARUKAMIIIII!
- * ''Anime/WeissKreuz'' gives us Aya running down halls waving a sword over his head, screaming "TAAAKAAATOOORIII!"
- * ''Manga/KaseiYakyoku'': "TAKAAAAAAAAA!"
- ** And later: [[spoiler: "[[HeroicSacrifice SABURO-SAAAAAAAAAN!]]"]]
- * ''Manga/OniisamaE'': "Saint-Juste-sama... Saint-Juste-sama... SAINT-JUSTE-SAMAAAAAAAAA!"
- * ''Anime/{{Gankutsuou}}'': Franz is guaranteed to scream "ALBEEEEEEERRRRRTTTT!" whenever his best friend is in trouble. Albert himself has a habit of yelling "Count!" ("Hakushaku!"). This is a fairly good indicator of the show's [[HoYay relationship]] [[AllLoveIsUnrequited dynamics]].
- * ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'': It's actually a bit of a plot point. Episode 13 has the blunt and comparatively quiet "Let's go, [[FirstNameBasis Kotetsu.]]" Episode 24 is the proper BigWordShout variety, a most delectable combination of TearJerker and NarmCharm.
- --->'''Kotetsu:''' [[spoiler: [[FamousLastWords "Hey, you have pretty long eyelashes..."]]]]

- [[folder:COMIC BOOOOOKS!]]
- * ''Comicbook/FantasticFour'': [[SelfDemonstrating/DoctorDoom "RRRRIIIIICCCHHHHAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRDDDDDDSSSS!!!"]]
- * ''Comicbook/{{X-Men}}'' are prone to this a lot, given the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters.
- * ''EarthX'' has an unusual example: Uatu the Watcher has spent thirteen issues referring to [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Machine Man]], aka Aaron Stack, by his model number, X-51, to emphasize that he is a robot and should have no loyalty to humanity--indeed, no human emotion at all. In the final issue, after being cut off from his sensory feed and left helpless, Uatu calls after him pleadingly: "X-51? X-51, ''please''. ...Aaron?"
- * Franchise/{{Superman}} shouting Mongul's name after freeing himself of the Black Mercy in "ComicBook/ForTheManWhoHasEverything." The force of the shout knocks Robin clean off his feet, and lets Mongul know he's only got a fraction of a second before Superman plows into him.
- --> "He hears a [[MakeMeWannaShout voice like Armageddon shouting his name]], and he starts to turn - he knows he has perhaps [[SuperSpeed less than half a second in which to defend himself]]... but the rock of the far wall seems to [[DungeonBypass ripple outwards in a sudden cascade of powder]] and a [[UnstoppableRage four-hundred-mile-an-hour wind slams into him like a steam hammer as big as the world]] - [[Awesome/{{Superman}} and he knows that he is far too late.]]"
- * Invoked in an Comicbook/IncredibleHulk story wherein the title character's alter ego Bruce Banner makes this comment to a screaming SelfDemonstrating/DoctorDoom right after helping to take him down.
- ** That was something of an IronicEcho; a few pages earlier Doom had been fighting a Hulk robot that was screaming "DOOOOOM" as it pummeled him. As Doom turned the tables on the robot, he said "Once more...with feeling...'''say my name!'''"
- * Invoked in [[{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel's]] origin story, when the ancient wizard commands Billy Batson to speak his name: '''[[ByThePowerOfGrayskull SHAZAM]]'''
- * In the Franchise/{{Batman}} storyline ''Comicbook/{{Knightfall}}'', Bane attempts to make Batman scream his name for mercy. Batman tells him "Go back to Hell" and Bane promptly breaks him. Years later, in the one-shot ''Batman: Bane'', Batman finally does shout Bane's name. It's not for mercy, though, it's in frustration - the villain escaped capture.
- * ZeroHour: "Hal." "Ollie."
- * Used by Comicbook/{{Empowered}} during sex. "What's... my... name?"
- --> '''Thugboy''': Which one, baby?!
- * ''Comicbook/{{Bookhunter}}'': When a PhoneTraceRace ends with his target eluding him, all Agent Bay can do is scream, "Damn you, [[InSeriesNickname Kettle Stitch!]]"
- [[/folder]]
- [[folder:FAN FICTIOOOON!]]
- * ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'': Calvin screams "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBBBBBBBBBBEESSSS!" when he figures out that [[spoiler: he's the culprit.]]
- * A couple of instances in ''FanFic/AceCombatTheEquestrianWar''. Not PlayedForLaughs.
- [[/folder]]
- [[folder:FIIIILM!]]
- * ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'': Aladdin and Jasmine are really bad about this.

- * ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOTOJu_elw8&feature=player_embedded "HANG ON, MARY JANE!"]]''
- -->-- '''Film/{{Spider-Man|Trilogy}}'''
- * In ''Film/EverAfter'', in a heartwarming scene where Prince Henry returns to rescue Danielle (not that she needs much rescuing), he makes an apology for being a complete {{Jerkass}}. Danielle tells him to say it again, and he apologizes... but she says "No, the part where you ''say my name.''"
- ** It can be quite the [[Heartwarming/EverAfter Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] when you remember that the prince only knew Danielle by a pseudonym for the majority of the movie.
- ** There's also the bit where he tells her to call him Henry instead of "Your Highness" (which is how he demanded she refer to him as when he discovered she was actually a commoner).
- * Watch ''Film/{{Titanic}}'' with a notepad and write down how many times the names "Jack" and "Rose" are called out between the two characters. Even if you don't make a DrinkingGame out of it, your vision will ''still'' [[IncrediblyLamePun swim]] by the first hour of the movie.
- ** '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRqK96LehXE No joke]].'''
- * Similarly, try keeping track of how often the hero's name is said in ''Film/{{Beowulf}}'', most notably in the sea monster fight ("BEEEEEEOOWUUUUUULLLLF!"). There are quite a few shout of "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis I am Beowulf!]]" in there (of varying [[NoIndoorVoice volume]] and {{p|unctuatedForEmphasis}}acing), and Wiglaf even gets the odd "You are Beowulf!".
- * ''Film/AmericanPie'':
- --> '''[[CovertPervert Michelle]]''': "What's my name? Say my name, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]!"
- --> '''Jim''': "Michelle! Michelle."
- * ''Film/ChainReaction'' has the character played by MorganFreeman repeatedly saying the name of the character played by Creator/KeanuReeves in casual conversation. It's not for dramatic effect, it's just bad writing.
- * ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' features [[RockyRollCall an infamous scene where the characters shout each others' names in shock]] after Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Brad, and Dr. Scott catch Janet and Rocky in the tank after they have (musical) sex. "Janet!" "Dr. Scott!" "Janet!" "Brad!" "Rocky!" "[grunt]" [[OverlyLongGag "Janet!" "Dr. Scott!" "Janet!" "Brad!" "Rocky!" "[grunt]"]] [[RuleOfThree "Janet!" "Dr. Scott!" "Janet!" "Brad!" "Rocky!" "[grunt]"]] They go through this three times, each time with the exact same expressions and inflections.
- ** For bonus points, at midnight showings shout [[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle "Bullwinkle!"]] after Rocky.
- * ''Franchise/StarTrek'': "KHAAAAAAN!" [[spoiler:He's being a LargeHam on purpose, [[BatmanGambit in order to fool KHAAAAAAN into thinking he's won.]] ]]
- ** Khan has his fair share of "KIRK!", as well.
- ** Data's name is also shouted at him by the Borg Queen at an appropriate moment in the movie ''[[Film/StarTrekFirstContact First Contact]]''. [[SugarWiki/MomentofAwesome His response?]] [[spoiler: [[IronicEcho "Resistance is futile."]]]]
- ** Also in ''Tin Man'' (Picard). It's a pretty well done western example, (but then it was ''Patrick Stewart's'' line, so the odds of it being done badly were pretty slim.)
- ** ''Star Trek'' parodied itself in the [[Film/StarTrek new movie]], where the name shouted (by [[spoiler:Nero]]) is "[[spoiler:SPOOOOOCK!]]" With the interesting twist that [[spoiler: he was thwarted by his enemy's younger self.]]
- ** And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSdEBdmzvQI "Spock!" "Captain!" "Bones!" "Spock!" "Jim!"]]
- * In ''Film/{{Rocky}}'': "Adrian!" "Rocky!" "Adrian!" "Rocky!"
- ** "DRAGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
- * In ''Film/TheGodfather'', part III, from Vincent Mancini, when killing TheDragon : "How are you, Joe... [Shoots him three times]..ZASA!"
- * ''Theatre/AStreetcarNamedDesire'': "STELLAAAAAA! HEY, STELLAAAAAAA!"
- * In the 2005 "remix" of ''Film/TheCabinetOfDrCaligari'', Frances has lots of fun screaming Caligari's name during one chase scene. And Caligari has lots of fun with "CESARE! WAKE UP, CESARE!"
- * ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'': "DAAAAMN YOUUU, JAAACK SPARROWWW!"
- ** Also, [[BattleCouple Will and Elizabeth]] say each other's names a lot. Usually when one, or both, are in danger.
- *** Parodied in one scene from the first movie-
- --->'''Elizabeth''': Will!
- --->'''Will''': Elizabeth!
- --->'''Jack Sparrow''': Monkey!
- * SPAYNIARD! SPAYNIARD! SPAYNIARD! And then : MAXIMUS! MAXIMUS! MAXIMUS!
- * ''Film/TheGraduate''. The glass-pounding scene in the church with the titular graduate screaming "ELAINE!" at the top of his voice (twenty times!) definitely counts.
- * Probably at least ''half'' of the dialogue of WesternAnimation/{{WALL-E}} and EVE consists of their own and each other's names. The third most common word, [[ShayGuy I]] believe, is "directive."
- ** EVE is rarely pronounced correctly though. On account of WALL-E pronouncing the sounds individually (ee va) many people may think that EVE's name actually is EVA.
- * ''Film/TheDarkKnight''
- ** A variant when Harvey Dent, [[spoiler:after getting half his face burned off]], demands that Jim Gordon tell him the nickname the cops had for him when he was an investigator in Internal Affairs. [[spoiler:"'Two-Face'. 'Harvey Two-Face'."]]
- ** The scene just before that. [[spoiler:''RACHEL!!'' '''RACHEL!!!''']]
- * Near the end of ''Film/{{Help}}'' after Music/RingoStarr gets kidnapped by Kaili's PathOfInspiration, there is a lot of calling for Ringo.
- * ''WesternAnimation/TheSwanPrincess''. "ODDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTE!"
- * Disney's ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' has a climactic scene towards the end where Belle calls out "Beast!" (The audio commentary notes that they'd forgotten to give him a name.)
- * Brought to a head in ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate'', although mercifully, not in all one scene.
- -->'''Maggie''': Mike! Mike!
- -->'''Mike''': Maggie! Debbie!
- -->'''Debbie''': Peppy!
- -->'''Mike''': TORGO!
- * ''Film/{{Serenity}}'' plays this for laughs.
- -->'''Jayne''': MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!
- -->'''Mal''': ''Every'' heist he's gotta start yelling my name.
- * ''Film/TheNeverendingStory'': "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONCHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILD!"
- ** Bastian can only cure the Empress and save Fantasia by giving her a new name, and shouting it aloud. Because there's a storm and Barrett Oliver shouts the name incoherently, it's impossible to tell what name Bastian picked. This may have been intentional so that the viewer can imagine that Bastian shouted the name of their choice; in [[Literature/TheNeverendingStory the original book]], however, the new name of the Empress was explicitly stated and everybody in Fantasia learned it.
- * ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'': GOOOODZILLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
- * Even for a traumatized father, Marlin from ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' is using the word "NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMOOOOOOOO!" way too much.
- * In ''SlumdogMillionaire'', Jamal sees that his love interest has met him at the train station like promised and happily yells out "Latika! Latika!" This soon changes to a horrified "LATIKAAA!" when he looks behind her and sees [[spoiler:his brother racing after her to drag her back to the gang leader she was trying to escape from]].
- * ''CastAway'': WIIILLLLSSSOOONNN!!!! I'm sorry, Wilson!
- ** Which is said to a [[ItMakesSenseInContext Volleyball]]. And it's funny outside and inside of context.
- * SHANE! Come back, {{Shane}}!
- * ''[[Film/{{Poltergeist}} Poltergeist III]]'', lovingly mocked on [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1L36trN6kA#t=6m42 Siskel and Ebert]].
- * Lampshaded in ''Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack'': "JUUUSSTIIIICE!!!"
- * Lovemaking scene in ''Children Of A Lesser God'', complicated by the fact that one of the participants is deaf-and-mute.
- * ''[[Franchise/{{Hellraiser}} Hellbound: Hellraiser II]]'': KIRSTY!!!!! TIFFANY!!!!!!
- * ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven'': CHAAAAAARLIE!!! Though it is shouted a few times the sheer number of times every single character feels the need to say his name is baffling. Seriously it averages at one "Charlie" a minute. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE5J4bOOcJo]
- * ''Film/HomeAlone'': KEVIN!!!
- * In the film version of ''[[Literature/{{Gor}} Outlaw of Gor]]'', protagonist Tarl Cabot's name is said '''fifty-five times''' in the first ten minutes alone (IMDB's count), mostly by Cabot's annoying, wormy friend.
- * Sometimes a Great Notion: "Joby! '''JOBY!'''"
- * The final battle of ''Film/{{Transformers}}''. Optimus Prime arrives in the city and confronts Megatron (who had just killed Jazz). They haven't seen each other in over 10,000 years. Their first words to each other?
- -->'''Optimus Prime''': MEGATRON!
- -->'''Megatron''': PRIIIIIME!
- ** Optimus seemed rather angry to see Megatron alive and well (well, the fact he was holding the corpse of one of his friends didn't help), whereas Megatron seemed almost happy to see the former.
- ** And:
- -->'''Ironhide''': '''IT'S STARSCREAM!'''
- ** In the trailers, the lead character Sam Witwicky shouts the name of the Autobot leader. '''OPTIMUUUSSS!!!'''
- * ''WesternAnimation/{{Nine}}'' gets '''''"2!"''''' As well as:
- -->'''9''': ''[[NumericalThemeNaming 7!]]''
- -->'''7''': ''[[YouAreNumberSix 9!]]''
- * ''Film/{{Moonwalker}}'': "Michael! Michael!"
- ** Also serves as an example for ''Film/TheLostBoys''.
- * ''Film/TheMatrix'': "Trinity! '''[[OhCrap HELP!]]'''[[OhCrap "]]
- ** Mr. Anderson!
- ** My name... [[PunctuatedForEmphasis is Neo.]]
- * ''Franchise/JurassicPark'': "GRANT!"
- * The Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg monstrosity ''Disaster Movie'' has characters from random films saying who they are, complete with IAmNotShazam.
- * ''Literature/BattleRoyale'': SHUUUUUUUYAAA! NOBUUUUUUUUUUU!
- * The example most of the parody examples are directly ripped-off from: ''Literature/WutheringHeights'''s "HEATHCLIFF!" "CATHERINE!" exchange.
- ** This doesn't happen at all in the book.
- * The subpar Disney movie ''TheWild'' had "RYAN! '''RYAN'''! '''''RYYYAAAAAAAAAN!'''''" over, and over ''[[MostAnnoyingSound and over]]''.
- * Franchise/IndianaJones gets "INDY!" or "JONES!" screamed at him all the time. There's also a notable moment when his father saves him from a DeathByMaterialism by finally addressing him by his preferred moniker "Indiana" (instead of "Junior").
- * Near the end of ''Film/TheFinal'', Dane has [[JerkJock Bradley]] [[StrappedToAnOperatingTable strapped to a chair]] and tells him to say his name. [[spoiler:Dane is shocked to learn that, despite Bradley bullying him for years, Bradley does not even know his name.]]

- * ''Film/NightAtTheMuseum'': Kahmunrah likes to say his own name a lot.

- * ''Anime/ProfessorLaytonAndTheEternalDiva'': "LUUUUUUKE!"
- * ''[[Franchise/{{Highlander}} Highlander 2: The Quickening]]'' gives us a glorious mid-quickening "RAAMMIRRREEEEEZ!!!" after Connor kills General Katana's two henchmen. Then we learn that the quickening has the never-seen-before-or-after power to bring people back to life by screaming their names. As you might be able guess by the fact that someone is named "General Katana", this movie is not very good.
- * An effective twist appears in the film ''[[Literature/TheInkworldTrilogy Inkheart]]''. The camera shows us Resa yelling Meggie's name as Meggie is being shoved away by guards, but since she is [[TheSpeechless mute]] there is no sound.
- * In ''Film/RushHour 2'' Lee and Carter have what they think is a bomb but can't decide what to do with it... HilarityEnsues:
- --> LEE!

- * At the end of ''Film/HalloweenH20TwentyYearsLater'', in what is Laurie's SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, she turns the tables on Michael Myers and screams his name, effectively [[TheHunterBecomesTheHunted turning the hunter into the hunted]].

- * In ''Film/SherlockHolmes'':
- --> HOOOOOOOOOOOLMES!
- * Disney/{{Tangled}}: '''RYYYYDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRR!!!'''
- * In a beautiful bit of {{subver|tedTrope}}sion, the 2009 short film ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaJP6WJISUA Being Carl Williams]]'' sees actor Gyton Grantley confused for real life underworld killer Carl Williams (whom he played in the TV series ''Series/{{Underbelly}}''). His desperate efforts to convince his assailants that he's not the real Carl Williams are not helped when [[spoiler:the man they want 'Carl' to kill spots Gyton Grantley for the first time, likewise confused him for Carl Williams, and immediately launches into this trope.]]
- * Disney/PeterPan: "SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
- * In ''TheTenCommandments'', Seti I reluctantly commands that the name "Moses" must be stripped from every monument and text in Egypt. This was really how the Egyptians made you an {{Unperson}} and banned your soul from the next life. It also "explains" why Moses isn't mentioned in Egyptian documents. Creator/CecilBDeMille resurrects the historical Moses and grants him passage to heaven by having ''everybody'' say his name.
- * In the climax of ''Film/TheMaskOfZorro'', Diego and Rafael have an understated version, where it's practically a whisper. It actually makes it more powerfully.
- -->'''Rafael:''' de la Vega.
- -->'''Diego:''' Rafael. ''(punches him)''
- * ''ValleyOfTheDolls'': [[LargeHam "NEEEEEEELEEEEEEE O'HAAAAAAAAAAARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"]]

- -->'''Ed Rooney:''' Grace! ''GRRRRRRAAAAAAACCEEEEE!!!'' '''GRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCEEEEEEE!!!!!'''
- * In ''SuckerPunch'', in Baby-Doll's imagination, Sweet Pea does this during Rocket's [[spoiler:DyingMomentOfAwesome / HeroicSacrifice, after she's been saved by her - this concides with Rocket getting stabbed after pushing Sweet Pea away from the chef.]]
- --> '''Sweet Pea:''' ''ROOOOOCKEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!''

- * Jack Higgins' (writing as James Graham) ''The Wrath of God'': Emmett Keogh was already kicking ass in a fight with a bandit. Then he took his eyes off his apparently beaten opponent for a moment, the villain got up with a knife ... and Emmett's ''mute'' girlfriend found her voice for the first time in five years, screaming his name in warning. That gave Keogh such a charge that the bandit ''threw away his knife'' before turning and running.
- * From ''[[Literature/TheActsOfCaine Blade of Tyshalle]]'': '''[[ProudWarriorRaceGuy I AM BLACK KNIFE! ORBEK BLACK KNIFE!"]]'''

- --> '''Gabrielle:''' XEEEEENA-A-A-A!
- * ''Series/TwentyFour'' had this in the form of "JOSH!" "UNCLE JACK!" "JOOOSSSHH!" "UNCLE JAAAAACK!" close to the end of the sixth season. Just one factor out of many why 24 fans like to pretend [[SeasonalRot season six was just a bad dream.]]

- ** One interesting twist happened in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS4E1PartnersInCrime Partners in Crime]]". Donna and the Doctor see each other for the first time through windows on opposite sides of a room that they are both spying on. Cue completely silently mimed shouts of "DONNA!" and "DOCTOR!"
- * Parodied in ''Series/TheITCrowd'': Douglas Reynholm bursts into his father's [[TheFunInFuneral funeral]], takes off his sunglasses, gets his bearings, and [[IncomingHam when he's sure he's got everyone's attention]]] lets out an anguished "FATHEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!"
- * Parodied in several ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' sketches, where the detectives' ridiculous names [[WhosOnFirst are always echoed]] after they introduce themselves:
- -->'''Lookout''': This house is surrounded. I must ask that no one leave the room. I'm Chief Superintendent Lookout.\\
- '''Lady Velloper''': Lookout!\\
- '''Lookout''': [[WhereWhere What? Where?]] Oh, me - Lookout. Lookout of the Yard.\\
- '''Lady Velloper''': Why, what would we see?\\
- '''Lookout''': I'm sorry?\\

- ** Also, "The Semaphore Version of ''Wuthering Heights''" is ''full'' of this, despite having no spoken lines.

- * ''Series/{{Heroes}}'': MY NAME IS SYLAR!!!
- * Curious variation in ''TheTudors'': Since nobody calls Henry by his name, for obvious reasons, the show has treated us to more than one somewhat {{narm}}ful shot of people desperately shouting "Majesty!" as they are dragged off to the Tower of London or just snubbed by the king.
- * ''Series/{{Fortysomething}}'': PILFREY!
- * ''HigherGround'': SCOTT! SCOOOOTT!
- * ''ThatMitchellAndWebbLook'': HENNIMOOOOOOOOOORREE!!!!

- * ''{{Primeval}}'': '''HELEN!'''
- * ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMg4b6sAelg MR FEENY!]] Used so often it was politely dubbed "the Feeny Call".
- * This happens at least once in ''Series/WithoutATrace'' when [[spoiler: Martin gets shot. Badly.]] Danny says his name twice, quietly and shakily.

- * ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'': "Newman!"
- * In ''Series/TheTwilightZone'' episode "Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room", the main character (Jackie) receives a phone call from George. We know it's George because Jackie says his name 16 times in the call that lasts less than a minute. When George shows up in the hotel room, Jackie calls George by his name 24 times. When George leaves, Jackie says his name another six times while he's all alone in the room, then when George shows up again, Jackie says his name another five times.

- * ''ManosALaObra'': BEENIIIIITOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!. Also TheKhan and OncePerEpisode.
- * ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'':
- ** In ''A Study In Pink'', John shouts Sherlock's name when he realises that [[spoiler:Sherlock is in another building with the murderer]]. It's muffled through a window, which lessens the impact, but the fact that there's a dramatic echo (as well as an appropriate choice in soundtrack) helps.
- ** John does this again in ''The Reichenbach Fall'' just before [[spoiler:Sherlock jumps off the building]], this time clearly audible.
- * In the series 3 finale of ''The Series/InspectorLynley Mysteries'', Lynley's beloved partner Barbara Havers is shot. All Lynley can manage is a frantic shout of "[[LastNameBasis Havers!!!]]" and then a hoarse whisper of "[[YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious Barbara]]? ''[[TearJerker Barbara]]???''"

This fact and Bill's accent have turned this into a MemeticMutation: '''Sookeh!'''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9Tgdd_3dZA&feature=related This was parodied in one episode by Sookie herself]]. AND, as if the SayMyName in-show was not enough Snoop Dogg made a song called "Oh Sookie" about the character that had her name in every verse of the song.
- * ''Series/{{Smallville}}'': Clark, before saving the DamselInDistress, ALWAYS pauses to say his/her name before zooming off.

- * In the first ''MrShow'' episode, during the in-universe {{Biopic}} of Ronnie Dobbs, [[spoiler:after Ronnie dies]], Movie!Terry does this while [[spoiler:holding the corpse of Ronnie]]. The in-universe "real" Terry claims he did this for hours, setting a new world record for screaming.

- * ''ArrestedDevelopment'': "Steve Holt!"
- * Used at the end of a LawAndOrder original flavor episode in which a husband confessed to the murder his wife probably committed while he was testifying in her defense. Right after she was acquitted, the police swooped into the courtroom to arrest him, and the couple said each other's names as they were being separated. It was tragic... at first. Then they just kept doing it, louder and louder, and it became [[NarmCharm something else entirely]].

- * Used in ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex The Game'', when Batou comes across two Motokos fighting (not unlike Pazu's situation in 2nd Gig), he figures out who the impostor is by yelling out, "MOTOKOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" and shooting the one who responded because the Major does not react when someone yells her given name.
- * Within the ''Franchise/TalesSeries'', it is common for the lead male character to scream another character's name during a dramatic scene -- Stahn in ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny'' screams "LEON! LEON!"; Kyle in ''Tales Of Destiny 2'' screams "REALAAAA!"; Cless in ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia: The Animation'' screams "CHESTER!" and "DHAOOOOS!"; Asch (who is not the lead character, but a party member who nonetheless plays an immensely important role in the story) in ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' screams "REPLICAAAA!" in reference to [[spoiler:Luke]]; Senel in ''VideoGame/TalesOfLegendia'' screams "STELLAAAA!"; Yuri in ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' screams ''"ESTEEELLLLLLLEEE!!"''; and, most famously of all (to the point of being parodied within the series itself ''as well as'' within the ''Tales'' fandom) Veigue in ''VideoGame/TalesOfRebirth'' screams "KUREAAAAAAA!" ("Claire!"), [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69SmvbpaYUU to the point of absurdity]].
- ** [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=fdNtjA15gKI This video]] only scratches the surface of how much the Tales Series '''''loves''''' this trope.
- ** In ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia: The Animation'', Lloyd screams out "COLLETTOOOOOOO!" [[spoiler:when she loses her soul.]]
- ** This even happens in the sequel to ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia''; Emil screams "Marta... MARTA!" [[spoiler:if you get the [[MultipleEndings bad ending]].]]
- *** If only this was the only example. You could die of alcohol poisoning if you took a shot every time one of the characters responds to someone by saying their name with an ellipse behind it.
- ** ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces'': ASBEEEEEEL!
- ** In the [[VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss Jade's Story]] segment of Tales of Fandom 2, even Jade Curtiss, usually TheStoic, [[NotSoStoic does this]] when [[spoiler:it appears that Peony has been assassinated.]] Particularly notable not just for Jade showing emotion, but because [[spoiler:he calls Peony's [[FirstNameBasis actual name]]; despite their [[VitriolicBestBuds close friendship]], Jade [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness only ever calls Peony "Your Majesty"]] in any other circumstances.]]
- * ''MetalWolfChaos'': '''"RICHAAAAAAARD!!!"'''
- ** '''"MICHAELLLLL!!!"'''
- * ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'': "LOOOOOUUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSS!" - not quite addressing him by the right name to the very end. [[{{Narm}} Which can kind of kill it a little.]]
- ** Also, MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE!
- ** "SHEVA!" "CHRIS!" "LEON! HELP!"
- *** '''''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec0rRUC4BA8 "CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS!"]]'''''
- ** "Alexia... ''Alexia...!''"
- ** "[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 ADAAAAAA!]]"
- ** Every playable character in ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil6 Resident Evil 6]]'' will do this when you or your partner [[TheManyDeathsOfYou died]].
- * ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'': '''Snake? Snake?! SNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEE!!!'''
- ** Also done with Raiden in ''[=MGS2=]'' whenever you die, by both Colonel Campbell and Solid Snake (who use "Raiden"), and Rose who uses his real name, "JAAACCCKKKK!"
- ** [[http://www.slowbeef.com/MG2/chap39.html Snake! Fox! Snake! Fox! Snake!]]
- ** Before the final battle in ''[=MGS4=]'': "LIQUIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!!" "SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKEEEEE!!!"
- *** Reversed with: "OTACOOOOOONNNN!"
- *** Also reversed, with ShoutOut to ''[=MGS2=]'', in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl'': "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOs_tL8arts Colonel? COLONEEEEEEEEEL!]]"
- ** Ocelot's "SNAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEE!!" before Naked Snake jumps off the waterfall in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater''. Especially funny in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyhjEX7qAOA Japanese version]].
- * Near the end of the Sandral/Matale feud quest in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'': "There you are, Shen!" "Father!" "Mr. Matale!" "Rahasia!" "Father!" "Mr. Sandral!" "Nurik!" "Ahlan!"
- * ''OsuTatakaeOuendan'': '''OOOUUUEENNNDAAAAAAAAANNNN!!!'''
- ** And in its across-the-pond counterpart, ''EliteBeatAgents'': '''AGENTS!''' -- right after [[spoiler:the eponymous Agents are zapped by a Rhombulan [[TakenForGranite petrification beam]].]]
- * ''{{Killzone}} 2'': "Sev?! ''SEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVV!!!''" Dick Richardson was surprised it actually didn't morph into "SNAAAAAAAAKEEEEEE!!"
- * Zero says "Iris" at least ten times in his [[{{Narm}} infamous]] ending in ''VideoGame/MegaManX 4''.
- ** In a turnaround, ''VideoGame/MegaManZero's'' Ciel cries Zero's name ''at least'' three times, and the last time was [[spoiler:a hopeless bid for Zero to get out of [[ColonyDrop Ragnarok]] even though it's already too late by that time]].
- ** So far in the series, the first thing X says upon seeing Zero destroyed or resurrected has been "Zero!"
- ** One of the last lines in ''Day of Sigma'' is this one from Zero as he's regaining consciousness: "Sigma...X...X? ''X! '''X!"'''''
- *** Sigma, Vile, Dr. Cain, and all of the Mavericks get the chance to say X's name over the course of the game the OVA comes with.
- ** Suffice it to say, the Mega Man franchise likes using this trope; characters will say each other's names for no reason at all!
- * ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'': "SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTHE!" and in ''Path of Radiance'': "FATHER!!"
- ** And "NIIIIIIINIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN!"
- *** Actually, [[http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3416313&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=40 this happens]] [[http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3416313&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=41 quite a lot]], though not always in big shouts.

- ** ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaPortraitOfRuin Portrait of Ruin]]'': Your characters call each others' names when switching, or when summoning them onscreen for support. This results in...

- *** Loretta! Sister! Loretta! Sister! Loretta! Sister! Loretta! Sister! Loretta! Sister! Loretta! Sister!
- ** Upon his defeat in ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia Order of Ecclesia]]'', [[spoiler:the Fake Boss]] Albus bellows a truly epic ''"SHAAANOOOAAAAAA!!"''
- *** Especially funny when you do this fight as Albus.
- ** ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow Dawn of Sorrow]]'': "Yoko!" "Julius!" "Alucard!"
- *** And when you reach the final boss in Julius Mode, you get one depending on which character is leading the strike: "ARIKADO!" "VERUNANDES!" "YURIUSU... BELMONDOOO!"
- *** As well as the lead's heavy hearted 'Soma...'.
- ** Likewise, Maxim of ''Harmony of Dissonance'' also yells ''"JUSTEEEEEEE!!!!!"'' when beaten.
- ** Thanks to ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaJudgment'', we also have "LORD DRACULAAAAA!", ''"LORD DRACULAAAAA!"'' and '''"LORD GALAMOOOOOTH!"'''
- ** One character pressing the "Dual Crush" button near another results in them calling the other character's name in ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDespair Harmony of Despair]]''.
- * ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'': Mostly in {{Fanon}}, but Ran Yakumo seems to be fond of yelling her Shikigami's name: '''''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jip6DJC7qZA "CHEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNN!!!!!"]]'''''

- ** In the supplemental material and [[GameMod fan-made]] [[BossBattle Juggernaut]] gamemode, [[TestosteronePoisoning SAXTON HAAAAAAALE!]] Notable for screaming his ''own'' name at people, thereby terrifying them.
- ** When someone dies in Mann vs. Machine mode, one or more of the other characters may comment on it along the lines of "[Class] is dead!"
- * ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'': As befits his role as a LargeHam, '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth''' gets a few of these. At the end of Chapter 11, when Thursday goes off-line, and then at the end of Chapter 12, when Jennifer is taken away.
- * In ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'', pressing "A" with no other context action available will cause Luigi to call out in search of his brother. These can range from a tentative "Mario?" to a full blown NarmCharm '''"MAARR-EEEEOOOOOOOOOOO!!"'''

- ** ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime Partners in Time]]'': "BABIES!"

- * ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': ARTHAAAAAAAAAS!!!
- * In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'', Marche will call Montblanc's name [[spoiler:if Montblanc dies in a Jagd]], "Montblanc? Montblanc!"
- ** Exclusively for its AudioAdaptation, Marche calls Montblanc's name while crying at the end of the series, along with the very ending where Montblanc calls Marche's name softly, along with an echo, after his OneLiner.
- ** That's not just enough. Montblanc actually [[BigWordShout went exaggerated]] when [[spoiler:Marche goes to Prison (along with Ritz) and before he faces Llednar Twem]].

- * ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' had Lord Bale's infamous '''"SSSSSINDDRRIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!"'''
- * ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland'': In Chapter 1, [[spoiler:when a blunder with the Cutlass of Kaflu ends with the fuse being unintentionally lit in Elaine's ship]]: "Elaine!" "Guybrush?" (monkey does a FacePalm, [[spoiler:gunpowder barrel explodes]]) "[=ELAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaine=]!!!"
- ** And at the end of Chapter 4, [[spoiler:when [=LeChuck=] runs Guybrush through]]: "Guybrush!" "Elaine?" "GUYBRUSH!!!" "LECHUCK! (laughs) Arr, this name-shouting is jolly good fun!"
- * ''Franchise/MassEffect'': By MemeticMutation: "Shepard." "Wrex."
- ** Two examples in the trailer for ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' ([[NeverTrustATrailer only one of which showed up in the game]]): Joker yells "Shepard!" while the commander is sacrificing him/herself to launch Joker's escape pod, and Male!Shepard yells "Tali!" while she is about to fall off the strange hexagonal platform at the end of the Collector Base.
- *** He does say that, but not then - if Tali is carried away by the swarms, he screams her name.
- ** Zaeed's "SHEPARD!" if you [[spoiler:leave him to die]].
- ** In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', you got [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqBXQVxS-qk Male!Shepard, yelling "STEEEVEE"]] when Steve Cortez, the Normandy's shuttle pilot, [[spoiler: got hit by a Harvester when you return to Earth for the final assault.

- * ''VideoGame/{{Mushihimesama}}'':
- ** "RECO-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!"
- ** "PARUMUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
- * As in parodying ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'', if in Bang's storyline, if he lost against Hakumen, Litchi will call his name out like this: "Bang? Bang! BAAAAAANNNGGG!!!" [[ButtMonkey Bang just never gets any luck]] [[YankTheDogsChain because that's when Litchi finally responds to him the way he wanted to, and he's down for the count to hear that. His other outcome if he won against Hakumen isn't any better for his crush.]]
- * ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'':
- ** [[MemeticMutation JAYSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!]]
- ** [[OverlyLongGag SHAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!]]
- * ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': "KYOOOOOOO!"
- * ''VideoGame/FatalFury'': "GEESE!"

- * ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII-2'': Snow gets another one ([[UpToEleven two in quick succession, in fact]]), [[spoiler:when [[BigDamnHeroes Serah and Noel arrive]] to help him defeat Royal Ripeness]].
- ** [[spoiler:Noel has one (also regarding Serah) during [[DownerEnding the ending]], though it is {{justified|Trope}} in that [[KillTheCutie Serah has just died]] [[DiedInYourArmsTonight in his arms]].]]
- * ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'':

- -->'''Argyle:''' Warm welcome's over, boss! Time to scram!
- * ''VideoGame/HeavenlySword'': '''KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!'''
- * ''VideoGame/SilentHill2'' seems to use name-calling as a replacement for actual dialogue in a few places. ...Actually, no. Most of the time.
- ** One (although there are many examples of excessive name repetition) is during the scene when Pyramid Head [[spoiler: impales Maria in Brookhaven Hospital]]:
- -->'''Maria:''' Jaaaaames!
- -->''JAAAAAAAAAMES!''
- -->'''James:''' NOOOOOOO!
- -->'''Maria:''' JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMES!!

- * And in ''VideoGame/MitsumeteKnight'', a SpiritualSuccessor of ''Tokimeki Memorial'', you've got [[AristocratsAreEvil Johan Elites]], who constantly does this each time the Asian (i.e. the Main Protagonist) foils his plans. '''"TOUYOUJIN-MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"''' ("YOU BASTARD ASIAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!")

- --> Pit: [[spoiler:Hades!]]
- --> [[spoiler:Hades]]: Pit!
- --> Pit: [[spoiler:Hadeeeeeees!]]
- --> [[spoiler:Hades]]: Piiiiittt!
- --> Both: It's ON!

- --> Pit: [[spoiler:'''HADES!''']]

- --> [[spoiler:Hades]]: [[SneezeOfDoom HACHOO!]]
- --> Pit: Excuse you. But anyway...
- --> Both: Now it's REALLY on! On to victory/death!
- * Used in an... odd kind of way in ''VideoGame/FistOfTheNorthStarKensRage''. One of the character's special attacks shares the name with the trope. What does it do? He drops a STONE BUST of himself on his enemy, sending them flying. Fits the trope in a very, very odd way.
- * In ''BrainDead13'', Dr. Neurosis tends to shout Fritz's name a lot, especially in the final confrontation.
- * In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', Varric shouts his brother's name when the latter traps him and Hawke in the Deep Roads: "BARTRAAAAAAAAND!"
- * Zoran Lazarevic in ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} 2'', upon drinking from the source of awesome power and sensing Nathan Drake's presence.
- --> '''Lazarevic''': Drake... DRAKE!
- * In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'', (Arcade Edition in particular), when Oni uses his Ultra in his rival battle, he will shout the name of his brother and nemesis: "GOUUUUKEEEEEEN!"
- * The [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Master Chief]] is a quiet, stoic fellow. The closest we ever hear him shout is raising his voice a bit to get Cortana and Guilty Spark to stop fighting. But come the last level of Halo 4, when [[spoiler:the AI interface pedestal that Cortana is presently inserted into is vaporized by the Didact, the Chief actually ''shouts'' Cortana's name in horror at the apparent death of his ailing friend, [[FutileHandReach reaching out to where she'd just been]]. (...She, of course, [[DisneyDeath survives this]], only to [[KilledOffForReal die shortly afterward]] [[HeroicSacrifice to save the Chief's life one last time]].)]]
- * In ''Neo VideoGame/{{Contra}}'', [[spoiler: after Bill Rizer and Jaguar defeat Pheromone Contra, or Lucia]]: "LUUUUCIAAAAAA!!!"

- * ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': SAABEEERRRRR!!!! Learn to love it or hate it.
- ** [[spoiler:[[TheHero Shirou]] and [[BigBad Kotomine]] also seem to enjoy saying each others' full name, especially when yelling. More the former than [[TheStoic the latter]], though.]]
- ** Kitomine seems to be fond of saying Shirou's full name, for dramatic effect. All other cases of "Say My Name" in this game are actually appropriate for the situations but Kitomine loves going out of the way to say "Emiya Shirou" even when a simple "you" would do.
- * ''VisualNovel/MajiDeWatashiNiKoiShinasai'' has numerous instances, but worthy of mention is [[spoiler: Tatsuko]], who at one point during the Ryuuzetsuran route is reduced to repeating [[spoiler: "Yamato-kun"]] over and over again [[UnstoppableRage while fighting]].
- * A number of the main villains of the ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' series yell out the name of their most hated enemy when defeated in court.
- ** A few are particularly scary to the point where things burst into flame. "MIA. FEY. MIIIIIIA FEEEEEEEEY!"
- ** EDGEWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORTH!!! ''*EPIC [[HeadDesk WALL HEADBANG]]*''

- * ''VisualNovel/AoiShiro'': ROURYU! ROURYU! BA ROURYU!
- * In ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial 2'', Akane's brother [[spoiler: [[{{Delinquents}} Sou-Banchou]]]] is ''very'' fond of this trope, each time his KnightTemplarBigBrother side kicks in. '''"AAAAKANNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"'''
- * ''VisualNovel/YoJinBo'' takes a jab at this one; after Hatsuhime's first meeting with the other main characters, Yo teases Jin: "'Haaaatsu-chaaaaaaan!' 'Jiiiiin-samaaaaaaaaa!'"
- ** Meanwhile, Ittosai's Bad Ending plays it straight; it's titled "Call My Name" for a reason.

- ** A more subtle variation occurs with Belkar, (who addresses the elf wizard Vaarsuvius as "Elf" or "Ears" or, more often, with some insulting nickname), when he and Haley are left behind after the other half of the team sails away:
- --->"OK, elf, enough with the jokes. You got me, fair enough, now bring the ship back.

- * ''Webcomic/{{Fite}}'' has a couple of these, but only if you learn to recognize the [[SpeakingSimlish symbols]] representing the characters' names.
- * In ''Webcomic/{{Panthera}}'', this is played for drama when [[spoiler:Jason/Leo starts doubting everything he thought he knew about himself both in relation to the rest of the team and by himself as a result of his MentorMole revealing his true colors and getting killed and failing to come up with a plan in North Korea.]]
- --> '''Leo''': [[spoiler:Cats don't need licenses, to hunt, fight, kill. But they never have to worry about '''why''' they do it, or the '''greater consequences''', either. And we...]] Tigris, what's my name?
- --> '''Tigris''': I... don't follow.
- --> '''Leo''': My '''name'''. What's my name?
- --> '''Tigris''': Uh. "Leo?"
- --> '''Leo''': [[spoiler:...no. "Leo" is the lion mask I wear into battle. And yes, the mask is deeply a part of me. But my mind -- my soul -- is '''''human'''''. My name is '''''Jason''''', and it's '''''me''''' who has to live with the things I do.]]

- ** In the NC Review for ''Film/TheWizard'', the critic at the end draws glasses on a picture of Jimmy Woods seeing a personification of the Critic.
- -->'''NC''': '''Oh my God! '''"NEEEEEERRRRD!!!!!"'''
- ** And there's the Critic's other adversary:[[spoiler: '''''"[[Creator/MaraWilson MARA WILSOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!''''']]"]]
- * Quite often, when another member of ''Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses'' [[TheCameo cameos]] on a Nostalgia Critic video, the Critic will greet them by simply saying their name. Very noticeable in his ''Film/TheRoom'' review.

- ** "Krabs!" "Plankton." "KRABS!" "PLANKTON!" "Spongebob."
- ** When Plankton fell in love with Mr. Krabs' mom:

- * ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' plays with this when Stan starts falling through row after row of dilapidated stairs while Steve takes a completely functional lift down at the same pace. At first, Steve is actually worried, shouting "Dad!!" a few times and loses a bit of enthusiasm each time until he starts saying the word in a monotone. Eventually he finds a newspaper and reads the comics while Stan continues to fall and crash through the wooden stairs.
- * ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''; Ron Stoppable's [[Awesome/KimPossible Crowning Moment of Awesome]] during ''[[TheMovie So the Drama]]'':

- * ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'': '''[[TheStarscream STARSCREEEEEEEEEAAAAAM]]!''' Think [[Franchise/StarTrek KHAAAAAN!]] and ''then'' some.
- ** Which is a MythologyGag based on a ''slightly'' less extreme tendency of Megatron's [[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 G1]] counterpart.
- ** And Megatron finally using Optimus Prime's name in the "Endgame" finale means that he finally sees Optimus as an archenemy as opposed to just another Autobot nuisance.
- --->'''Megatron:''' If I cannot save my [[spoiler: clones]], at least I'll have the pleasure of destroying you, ''Optimus Prime''!
- --->'''Optimus:''' So you ''can'' remember my name.
- ** Megatron screaming Starscream's name is a recurring thing. In the IDW comics, it happens when Starscream is using Ultra-Energon to try and overthrow him. [[spoiler: The juiced-up Starscream still gets EASILY pwned, and this Megatron will ''not'' be taking it lying down like [[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 certain other Megatrons]]]]. In Animated, we get two: First, Megs finds out it's Screamer who sabotaged him in premiere. Later, Starscream tries to rig a MacGuffin to explode and destroy the Autobots and Megatron (and about half of Detroit would likely have gone with them.) Starscream fails.
- --> '''Starscream''': [[TemptingFate This day couldn't get any worse.]]
- --> ''[Megatron descends into view]''
- --> '''Starscream''': I stand corrected.
- --> '''Megs''': STAAAAARSCREEEEEEEAM--!
- --> '''Screamer''': [Flying away at high speed] Y-you must have me confused with some other harrier jet... [Next scene is Starscream slamming into the ground. Hard.]
- ** ''Anime/TransformersCybertron,'' Megs gets booby-trapped and he and the 'cons loyal to him are left behind in a force field in deep space. Starscream feels the need to leave a message to make sure Megs knows who screwed him, and all Megatron can do is yell his name in fury.
- ** In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime,'' when Megatron finds out Starscream tried to off him in the premiere, rather than going for the traditional STARSCREEEEEEAM! he simply says his name quietly. However, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown his wrath]] is the same.
- ** ''Anime/TransformersEnergon'': Megatron/Galvatron {{Mind Rape}}s Starscream, who has LaserGuidedAmnesia.
- ** In "More Than Meets the Eye: Part 3" of the original Transformers series, Megatron and the 'Cons are taking off in their space ship while the Autobots watch. Optimus reaches out his hand, and in one of Peter Cullen's greatest moments yells "MEEEGGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!"
- *** Or rather, MEEEEEGAAAAAAA[[LargeHam TROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]][[CrowningMomentOfFunny OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!]]
- ** In ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars,'' the Maximals and Predacons are working together to stop the Vok from blowing up the planet. As Optimus goes to take out the Planet Buster, he realizes that Megs has sabotaged his shuttle and he won't be able to escape the impending explosion. Megatron broadcasts a message to him to taunt him about this, and Optimus yells MEGAAAAATROOOOOOOOOOOOON! just before 'kaboom.' [[spoiler: Do we ''really'' have to say Optimus gets better]]?

- ** [[PhraseCatcher "S-Superintendent Chalmers!"]]
- ** "Barrrrrrttttttttt!!!" Yelled by a lot of people; even Lisa says his name whenever Bart pisses her off or pranks her.
- ** Marge yells "Homer!" quite often. She also says "Homie/Homey" whenever she kisses or has sex with him.
- ** Aaagh! Sideshow Bob!
- *** This was actually {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in one of his later appearances: as Bart had noticed Bob's [[VillainDecay incapability of ever succeeding in his schemes]], he just greeted Bob normally, much to Bob's surprise.
- ** "Johnny? Johnny! JOHNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"

- ** One particularly heartbreaking example in episode 18: "ZUKO! ...''Zuko.''"
- * ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'': "Lucky mug? Lucky mug?! LUCKY MUG!!"
- * ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben10}}'': GWEN!
- * ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'': "SPIDERMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!" Spider-Man gets this a lot more than other heroes, especially from mugs. Eventually, he even started countering it. "Well, it sure ain't Gomer Pyle!"
- * ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': "CART-MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis You. Fucking. FATASS]]."
- ** "STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"[[note]]Randy calling out in a sick rasp to his son in "Bloody Mary" after [[TropaholicsAnonymous Alcoholics Anonymous]] convince him of being [[InducedHypochondria terminally ill]].[[/note]]
- ** "BUTTERS!!!"[[note]]YouAreGrounded![[/note]]
- ** In "Smug Alert!": "KYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYLE!"
- ** "CLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYDE! You forgot to put the toilet seat down AGAIN!"
- * ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'': SPUNKYYYYYYY!! SPUNKYYYYYYYYY!!
- * ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesOfDarkWater'': "Ren, [[IAmXSonOfY son of King Primus]], Prince of Octopon..."
- * Whenever ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes,'' ''{{WesternAnimation/Garfield|AndFriends}},'' ''[[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Ninja Turtles]],'' or almost ''any'' cartoon has its characters watching a [[SoapWithinAShow parody of a soap opera,]] the characters will almost always recite, "Oh John! Oh Marsha! Oh ''John!'' Oh ''Marsha!"'' referring to the Creator/StanFreberg sketch listed in "Other."
- * ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'': "JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNE!!!!!!!"
- * ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'':
- ** Stimpy, YOU EEDIOT!
- ** "Son of Stimpy" also has "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" after Stimpy farts for the first time.
- * ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingChanAndTheChanClan'':
- ** "HEN-RYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
- ** ''"Stanley!"''
- * A slightly less scenery-destroying version in ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}''; because if you say JustForFun/CandleJack, then he wi-
- * ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures'':
- ** JONNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
- ** Considering how much trouble this family gets into, it's really no surprise they love this trope. DAAAAAAAD! JESSIEEE! HADJIIIII! BANDIT, COME BACK HERE!...
- * ''Albie'': [[OncePerEpisode Every single episode]] [[RunningGag would end]] with someone shouting "AAAAAAAAL''BIIIEEEEEEE!''"
- * ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb:'' Curse you, PERRY THE PLATYPUS!!!!!!!!
- * ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' has titular protagonist Sterling Archer yell one to Barry Dillon after the latter [[spoiler: kills Katya Kasanova, Archer's wife.]]
- ** And, on a more [[CrowningMomentOfFunny humorous]] note:
- -->'''Archer''': Lana... Lana. Lana! LAAAAANAAAA!
- -->'''Lana''': [[BigWhat WHAT?!]]
- -->'''Archer''': ''(giggles) [[CatchPhrase Danger zone.]]''
- * ''[[WesternAnimation/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes]]'': No! NO! BUCKYYYYYYYYYYY! (Spoken by Comicbook/CaptainAmerica when BuckyBarnes performs a HeroicSacrifice, and heard again whenever the viewers revisit the scene.)
- ** The first thing Cap does after awakening in the 21st century involves calling out Bucky's name again.
- ** The Avengers' first foe, Graviton, screams NickFury's last name after breaking out of jail.
- * One ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' episode had all the dialogue spoken during the last minute or two consist of the words "[[TheHero Dexter]]" and "[[TheRival Mandark]]", except for one part where Mandark said Dee Dee's name instead.
- * ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'': VEEEEENTUURREE!!!!
- * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': ''PIIIIIIIIIINKIIIIIIIEEE!!!''
- * In the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'', Helga is determined to ensure that everything goes right for the school play. When she notices that Arnold and Gerald's are missing on performance night, [[BigWordShout she shouts Arnold's name]].

- [[folder:OOOTHEEER!]]
- * Creator/StanFreberg's record "John and Marsha" spoofed the radio soap opera by having the characters say nothing but each other's names. Also featured on his [[Radio/TheStanFrebergShow radio program]].
- ** Oddly enough, the alien brain Krang in ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' liked watching a TV show that seemed to consist entirely of a man named John and a woman named Marsha staring at each other and saying their names over and over.
- ** ''Magazine/{{Mad}}'': John didn't have his glasses on, and was saying it to the wrong girl at first. Also, he stepped off a cliff to kill himself; a trampoline saved him (repeatedly); the John-Marsha scene played; and when Marsha rejected him, that was the point when the trampoline people moved the trampoline...
- * There exists a piece of fanart of L and Light from ''Manga/DeathNote'' having sex. Light says the trope, and it takes L a few repetitions to realize he's screaming "[[spoiler:Kira]]".
- * VANGUAAAAAAAARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- * Variation: during MuhammadAli's fight with Sonny Liston, who would only refer to him as Cassius Clay (his old name), Ali repeatedly shouted, "What's my name? What's my name?"
