First Name Ultimatum: Difference between revisions

 

[[Full Name Ultimatum]] (if it becomes a [[Running Gag]]), and [[Loud Last Name]], could also be examples of this. Compare [[Say My Name]].

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* Nina from ''[[Mai-Otome]]'': "'''A-RI-KA!'''"

** Also Shiho in the same series. "'''JULIET--!!'''"

* ''[[Scrapped Princess]]'': "EIROTE!" (Even when she's standing right next to her)

* [[Kodomo no Jikan|KOKONOEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!]]

* [[Sengoku Basara|OYAKATA-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAA!]]

* ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'':

{{quote|'''Jubilee''': Why does everyone say my name like it means "shut up"?}}

 

== Film ==

* Does it count when it's directed at a villain generally taken seriously? {{spoiler|KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!}}

* [[Midnight Madness|LEON!]]

 

== Literature ==

* [[Discworld|BUUURSAAAAR!]]

 

* [[Game of Thrones|Jory!]]

* "[[Mystery Science Theater 3000|CROOOOOOOOOW!]]" (That's one O!)

*** It was used this way in a couple of episodes, memorably ''[[Riding With Death]]'' when Crow took the "trucks as metaphor for sex" gag a little too far. What most forget is, Mike follows up with a joke that makes Crow remark "And you say '''I'm''' bad..."

** Another last name: "STIF-LER!"

* ''[[Seinfeld]]'': "Newman." (Maybe another example of a last name being used as a First Name Ultimatum, but it's unclear whether Newman is his last name or a first name.) Newman used "Jerry" in the same way.

* [[Stargate SG-1|"Jack..." "Daniel..."]] To the point that even when they're [[Body Swap|completely unrecognizable,]] that exchange is usually enough to make them realize who they're talking to.

* Kyle of [[8 Simple Rules]] tends to cause this in Paul.

* [[iCarly|"GIBBY!"]]

* [[Titus|DAVE!]](usually accompanied with [[Dope Slap]] to back of the head)

 

== Newspaper Comics ==

* Of course, Jon Arbuckle's anguished cry of "[[Garfield|Gaaaaaarrrrrrffiieelldd!]]"

 

== Radio ==

* Referenced on ''[[The Now Show]]'': in one episode, Robin Ince says that John Howard (former Prime Minister of Australia) should be in a generic children's sitcom (he suggests the name ''Don't Ask Stanley!'') playing the grumpy old man who lives next door; he decides an episode would end with Howard's house burning down and him staring over the fence (hat slightly aflame) yelling "''[[Staaaaan LEEEEEEY]]!!!''".

 

* This is the reason Rodney Carrington gave for giving his sons one-syllable names. When he's pissed at them, he doesn't want to spend a lot of time thinking (IE, "Bartholomew!").

 

== Video Games ==

{{quote|'''Fletcher Limburger:''' Well.... peanuts, anyone?... that's what folks are saying— and there's an old superstition about a monster and a lost city.

'''Santiago:''' Superstition!

* In ''[[Alpha Protocol]]'', if Mike delivers a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] to Conrad Marburg, he ends it by calling him by his first name.

* [[Professor Layton|LAYTOOOOOOOOOON!!!]]

 

== Web Animation ==

* In the ''[[Siblings]]'' episode "Don't Sleep, Robby!", Rob yells Johny's name offscreen ("JOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNN!") when Johny turns off his internet connection at the beginning.

** Later in the same episode, Johny yells Rob's name ("ROOOOOOOOB!").

 

== Western Animation ==

** This troper [[Wild Mass Guessing|believes]] that the maker of an imaginary friend puts the parts of themselves they don't like into it.

** Explicitly not the case as explained in the movie. Kids will often make an imaginary friend that fits the role they want for a friend, but the incidentals of the friend's personality usually end up being what the kid NEEDS in a friend. For example, the scary-looking but cowardly [[Gentle Giant]] Edwardo was able to scare off bullies for his creator and make her feel safe, but really needed someone to stand up for HIM in the end, exactly what the girl who made him needed to learn to do (she grew up to be a cop).

** Similiarly, Skinner's mother had that distinctive cry of "SEYMOUR!"

*** ...so when he walks in on their date, he's greeted with "SEYMOUR!" "SKINNER!"

** Homer Simpson, before he goes to put a choke-hold on his only son, always says, "Ba-rrt!" then possibly "why you little" before proceeding to the execution. (At least he uses his name; most of the time, Bart is just "the boy".)

* [[Batman: The Animated Series|The Joker]] shouting: "HAAAAARRRR-LEEEEY!"

* Man, I'm not ''that'' old to be the first one to remember this, right? [[The Flintstones|WILLLLLL-MAAAAAA!]]

*** In the episode "For Lunch": "Ral-phie!"

*** In one episode, after Phoebe says she wanted to feed the sea monster: "Phoe-be!"

* Candace: ''[[Phineas and Ferb|PHIN-E-AS!]]'' Interestingly, she rarely mentions Ferb, perhaps because she [[The Quiet One|knows he won't answer]].

** It's also probably because Ferb is her stepbrother, and Candace has had Phineas as her brother her whole life. Knowing how much the brothers get on her nerves, she's probably been saying "PHIN-E-AS" even before Ferb came along.

* In the "Crippled Camp" episode of ''[[South Park]]'': MIMSY!

* Hey, he's not called [[Transformers Generation 1|"BUMBLEBEE!!"]] for nothing.

* In [[Jem]], whenever Pizzazz (lead singer of The Misfits) blames Eric Raymond for Jem and the Holograms beating them, she'll often give him an earful.

** "EEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIICCCCCCC!!!!"

* [[Pond Life|''NOBBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!'']]

 

== [[Real Life]] ==

* One of the principles of how to choose your child's name: Stand at the back door and ''scream'' it, in full, First-Middle-Last. This'll give you a good idea of whether the name sounds good when used in full. (Actually heard this in some baby-name book.)

* [[Ozzy Osbourne]]'s near-catchphrase. Say it with me now: "SHAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!" (Sharon is Ozzy's wife.)
