History Main / AddedAlliterativeAppeal

* During the Sixties, ComicBook/DoctorStrange would spout alliteratives, usually in place of expletives, or as his personal version of "verily, I say unto thee." One of Doc Strange's favorites is "by the hoary hosts of Horgoth!", though he has many others as the Master of Mysticism.
* Caged Demonwolf in ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'' loves speaking with alliterations, and even occasionally comments on how many he managed to queue. Ninjette occasionally does it when talking to him.
* Creator/StanLee worships alliteration, to the point where the ComicBook/FantasticFour's arch-nemesis [[Characters/MarvelComicsDoctorDoom Doctor Doom]] was almost scrapped because Lee couldn't think of a suitable alliterative for Doom; he'd pondered Donald Doom in desperation before hitting upon ''Doctor'' Doom.
* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': J. Jonah Jameson, [[AlliterativeName naturally]], has a predilection for this in his editorials. He once praised himself for coming up with the phrasing 'blizzard of banal bureaucracy' for an editorial.
* ''ComicBook/MarvelWesterns'': An UnreliableNarrator newspaper clipping about the Masked Raider gives him a number of alliterative appelations, these being, in order: Masquerading Menace, Veiled Villain, Disguised Dastard, Hooded Hooligan, Screened Scalawag, Muffled Miscreant, and Cloaked Cutthroat.

* In the crossover story ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlBatgirlPlot'', a narration box calls Black Flame and Catwoman "the captive crime-chicks".

* In ''Lobocop'', where [[Characters/DCComicsLobo Lobo]] is transformed into an expy of [[Franchise/RoboCop RoboCop]], the titular character guns down a trio of thugs chasing a civilian. Witnessing this, the civilian comments "Holy heck! He hardly hesitated!" Lobocop blasts a hole through the civilian's gut for "unnecessary alliteration."

* WebVideo/Hatchetfield: In the various media, words and names beginning with the letter "W" are bizarrely common in relation to the paranormal phenomena throughout the series: the BigBad Wiggly, his nemesis Webby, and his servant Wiley; the [[EldritchLocation Witchwood Forest]], the amusement park [[CircusOfFear Watcher World]], the evil Witch in the Web, and [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti the ape-man]] Wooly-Foot.

* Alliteration doesn't really require ''every'' individual word shares similar starting sounds so minor words lacking verbal stress can be effectively exempted. Take "BreakingTheBonds" for example; nobody notices the thorny "the" therein.

* ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' has this moment:

* {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Aaron in ''Film/BroadcastNews'' when Tom starts alliterating.

* In ''Film/MoreDeadThanAlive'', showman Creator/MarkRuffalo speaks this way when drumming up business for his Shooting Show & Death Display:

* From ''Film/ShockTreatment'': "Farley Flavors' Fabulous Fast Foods Feed and Fortify Families for a Fabulous Future!"
* In ''Film/SoIMarriedAnAxeMurderer'', Charlie recites a poem describing Harriet as a "hard-hearted harbinger of haggis."

* Early on in ''Film/{{XXX}}'', Agent Gibbons points out that their agent was killed because he didn't fit in with Anarchy 99 and suggests finding someone who does. When he shows off the chosen candidates, he calls them "the best and the brightest from the bottom of the barrel."

* In ''Literature/TheAliceNetwork'', Eve calls René a cut-price [[LesCollaborateurs collaborating]] [[CountryMatters cunt]]. This is a rare serious example -- the alliteration is done solely to add some punch and isn't commented on by the narrator.

* ''Literature/TheFourthBear'' has a long gag about office gossip about someone named Pippa Piper that references the "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers" tongue-twister. The whole thing ends with a glorious, paragraph-long cascade of alliteration for humorous effect, which is lampshaded by the characters:
-->"Pippa Piper picked Peck over Pickle or Pepper? Which of the Peck pair did Pippa Piper pick?" "Peter 'Pockmarked' Peck of Palmer Park! He was the Peck that Pippa Piper picked!" "No, no! You've got it all wrong! Paul Peck is the Palmer Park Peck. Peter Peck is the pockmarked Peck from Pembroke Park. Pillocks! I'd placed a pound on Pippa Piper picking P.C. Percy Proctor from Pocklington."\\\
[pause] "It seems a very laborious setup for a very lame joke, doesn't it?" "Yes", said Mary, shaking her head sadly, "I really don't know how he gets away with it".

* ''Literature/GirlsKingdom'' has the academy and the various salons named alliteratively. Some examples:

* ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'':
** Chapter 11 is titled Hermione's Helping Hand.
** When the pupils learn to Apparate, they are taught by Wilkie Twycross, whose motto is the three D's: destination, determination, deliberation. When Apparation proves very difficult to learn, there is a certain ill-feeling towards Twycross and his three D's, which inspire nicknames such as dung-head and dog turd.

** The episode "[[Recap/ThePowerpuffGirlsS1E2InsectInsidePowerpuffBluff Powerpuff Bluff]]" has this exchange done during a robbery:

'''Thug:''' P-p-p-Powerpuffs!\\

* ''Literature/GameOfThrones'': The Third High Septon's [[StrawMisogynist views on women]] are expressed this way.
-->'''High Sparrow:''' The wickedness of widows is well-known, and all women are wantons at heart, given to using their wiles and their beauty to work their wills on men.

* The episode "[[Recap/ThePowerpuffGirlsS1E2InsectInsidePowerpuffBluff Powerpuff Bluff]]" of ''WesternAnimation/{{The Powerpuff Girls|1998}}'' has this exchange done during a robbery:
-->'''Blossom:''' Put down the priceless porcelain poodle, you punks!\\

-->'''Roxie:''' [[SkywardScream AHHHHH! You dim-witted...dense...dumb...daft...dippy...dorky...doltish DOOFUS!

* ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'': As fighting the Trinexx, Link exclaims: "This is one schizoid serpent!"
