== [[Film]] ==
* [[James Bond]] films lend themselves well to this sort of description, especially because their titles are somewhat esoteric: "[[Thunderball|the one where Blofeld steals a couple of nukes]]", "[[Moonraker|the one where James Bond goes into space]]", etc.
* ''[[Star Trek IV: The
** Even [[The Other Wiki]] will re-direct you there if you use it as a search term.
** Brazilian magazine SET decided to do something similar to every ''[[Star Trek]]'' film: "[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture|the one with the bald model]]", "[[Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan|the one [where] Spock dies]]", "[[Star Trek III: The Search For Spock|the one [where] Spock comes back to life]]", "[[Star Trek V: The Final Frontier|the one with God]]", "[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country|the one where the Klingons become nice]]", "[[Star Trek Generations|the one with Kirk and Picard]]", "[[Star Trek: First Contact|the really fun one]]", "[[Star Trek: Insurrection|the one with F.

* ''[[Friends]]'' referenced this by starting [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming|every episode title]] with the words "The One (With/Where)..." apart from the pilot and the finale, and even the pilot has an alternate title.
** Specifically, the pilot is now listed on [[IMDb]] as "The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate" and the Season 1 DVD set also uses that title. [[The Other Wiki]] still calls it "The Pilot". The season finale is titled, logically enough, "The Last One".
Line 31 ⟶ 34:
* ''[[That '70s Show]]'' was originally going to be called [[The Who|Teenage Wasteland]], but after focus groups were repeatedly overheard referring to it as "that '70s show," the producers decided to [[Sure Why Not|just go with it.]]
* [[Peter Kay]] titled his sketch show ''That Peter Kay Thing'', because he knew that's what people would call it no matter what the actual title was.

== [[Web Original]] ==
* ''[[That Guy With The Glasses]]''. He's that internet guy. Y'know, the one with the glasses?
* ''[[YKTTW|You know, that thing where...]]''
* The recap site ''[[The Agony Booth]]'' parodies this in [https://web.archive.org/web/20140312172256/http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/Star_Trek/the_original_series/Spock_s_Brain.aspx?Page=4 their review] of the ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' episode "[[Star Trek/Recap/S3/E01

* The first few episodes of ''[[Family Guy]]'' were named after old radio murder mystery play titles that had nothing to do with the episode plots. It didn't take long for the writers to have to resort to "That story in which Peter..." in order to talk among themselves about certain episodes. Shortly afterwards the show started to use titles that refered to the plots.
