* "Advertising/VictoryByComputer": When all is said and done, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} states that "[Luthor]'d probably never believe his scheme was done in by a class of sixth graders...who gained a victory with the help of microcomputers!"

* In the ''Podcast/EscapeFromVaultDisney'' episode discussing the film ''Film/TheGhostsOfBuxleyHall'', Tony makes fun of the one present that film, in which the title is dramatically exclaimed followed by another character they see as an Italian stereotype exclaiming "Mamma Mia!", immediately cutting to commercial break. Tony then says every title drop in film should be structured the same way, playing a clip where Doc Brown says the title of ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' followed up with another "Mamma Mia!".

If a line of dialogue is the title of the episode, movie or book, it obviously must have some great significance. If it sounds completely random, that just means the true meaning of the title has yet to be revealed. So when a character is heard using the title in dialogue, the audience sits up and takes notice, because the scriptwriter has just planted a neon sign that flashes [[AC:THIS CONVERSATION IS IMPORTANT.]]

Note: If a series is named after a [[CharacterTitle central character]], [[ThePlace setting]], group, etc., it does not count as a Title Drop, unless they are usually called by another name. Hence, ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'', ''Series/TheWestWing'', ''Series/{{House}}'', and things like that don't qualify, and are better examples of the trope ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Often, the Title Drop will finally explain why the episode/book/etc is called that way to begin with. If this explanation comes by ''[[ShowDontTell showing instead of by telling]]'' (i.e. it is not actually spoken aloud by any of the characters), then it's TheNamesake.
