It's common to [[{{PlayingWith}} play with]] this trope in {{parod|y}}ical works, whether the work itself is the parody (''[[{{UsefulNotes/ComicRelief}} Harry Potter and the Secret Chamber Pot of Azerbaijan]]'') or the parody is an in-universe {{Expy}} (''[[{{WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons}} Angelica Button and The Dragon King's Trundle Bed]]''). It's also helpful when writing {{crossover}}s, especially in FanFiction. Just take the "Character Name" part and add the "And The Noun Phrase" part from another series to create a {{Portmantitle}}: ''Franchise/IndianaJones and the [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Chocolate Factory]]''. Another variation is to add the title of a movie that ''doesn't'' follow this pattern to a Character Name from a series that ''does'': ''Indiana Jones and the Film/MinorityReport''. (Confusingly, there ''is'' a novel called ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones_and_the_Philosopher%27s_Stone Indiana Jones and the Philosopher's Stone]]'', written before the [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone Harry Potter book]] came out.)
