* Before the current Communist (and thus nominally atheist[[note]]in practice they often encouraged cult-like fanaticism for the party itself, with the head of the party at the very top; Mao Zedong in particular was memorialized as "the Great Leader", published his sayings in a little red book practically identical to New Testament bibles, and the populace was encouraged to recite oaths of loyalty to him and his cabinet[[/note]]) regime, China had a CelestialBureaucracy, and its various gods (yes, even the OddJobGods) had such titles; in fact, various dynasties had a habit of "appointing" patron deities to an increasingly long list of titles.

* Before the final level of ''VideoGame/{{Tyrian}}'', [[GoldfishPoopGang recurrent annoying pest]] Captain Nob declares himself [[AC:Supreme Intergalactic Ruler of Everything Nob, Commander of Microsol Super Fleet Alpha, Leader of Everyone, Master of All, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Well-Liked by Animals]].]]
* This is why ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' doesn't let you display more than one of the titles you've earned at a time. Otherwise, (even suppressing lesser included titles) a player could be [[AC:Associate Professor Brewmaster Ambassador <name> Jenkins the Patient, the Explorer, Guardian of Cenarius, the Astral Walker, of the Ashen Verdict, Bane of the Fallen King, the Light of Dawn, Defender of a Shattered World, Destroyer's End.]]

** His son Maxamillion II was later elected leader of The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. This added the titles [[AC:King of Poland, Grand Duke of Lithuania, Lord of Russia, Prussia, Mazovia, Samogitia, Kiev, Wolyn, Podlachia, and Livonia]], to his father's already impressive style.

* In ''Literature/{{Victoria}}'', Captain John Rumford's list of titles and offices is quite impressive by the end of the story:
** "Field Marshal John Rumford, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Victoria, Admiral of the Fleet of the Victorian Navy, ''Landwehr-Obergruppenführer'',[[note]]an honorary appointment he was granted by [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Leader von Braun]], but [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame does not himself acknowledge]][[/note]] Commandant of the Christian Marine Corps, Knight Commander of the Order of Saint Louis."

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': Sir Othar Tryggvassen has murdered enough sparks to fill a stadium, but his TitleDrop is so large it takes up the whole business card anyway.
* ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'': "I am ''RICHARD'', Chief Warlock of the Brothers of Darkness, Lord of the Thirteen Hells, Master of the Bones, Emperor of the Black, Lord of the Undead, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Mayor of a little village up the coast]]." Later on, he adds Lord of the Dance and Mistress of Magma to his titles. Plus, the mayor thing [[TownWithADarkSecret actually becomes important]] much, much later.
* In [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1037#comic this]] ''Webcomic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'', UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} becomes Saint Jesus. And in the [[AltText votey comic]], he tries to become "Doctor Baron Sensei Saint Jesus".
* Minnesota Jones from ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' [[http://irregularwebcomic.net/1323.html has quite a few titles]], that strip being [[OverlyLongGag only the beginning]]

* Miko of ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' introduces herself to the Monster in the Darkness as "Miko Miyazaki, samurai of the Sapphire Guard, loyal vassal of Lord Shojo, [[IAmXSonOfY daughter of Eyko]], and paladin of the Twelve Gods of the South". The [=MitD=] comments about how hard it must be to put all that on her business cards. Earlier, she attempted to introduce herself to Roy the same way when asked for her name, but Roy stopped paying attention.
* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'':
** "Lota, Longshoreman of the Apocalypse, [[spoiler:Hero of the Stationwaist, Foodlord of the Eatonrun, Portlord of the Poles, Grand Marshall, and King of the Second Age of the Free City State of Credomar]]." [[ThirdPersonPerson You may use pronouns, but only occasionally]]. Keep in mind that "Longshoreman of the Apocalypse" is ''not'' a title -- it's [=LOTAs=] given name.
** Another AI ruler is "Chinook, Keeper of [[PerpetualStorm the Acid Hammer and the Alkali Anvil]], Mind of the Spindle, Minder of the World, Goodness made Manifest, and Goddess of Sea, Soil and Sky."
--->'''Schlock:''' What happened to "Earth, Wind and Plumbing"?\\
'''Chinook:''' Somebody told the locals that it was silly. I miss it.

* In the comic ''Dolly's Playtime'', the newest Villain introduces himself as "I am the Master of the Realm of Nightmare, Lord of all that strikes terror in the heart of mortals, and weaver of all your deepest fears. Most simply know me as Vereor." Dolly's response? The trope name.
* In ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie,'' when [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Ozy's dad]] declared their house an independent country, he gave himself the title [[http://ozyandmillie.org/2006/02/07/ozy-and-millie-1596/ "Chief Diagonal Pumpkin Non-Hippopotamus Dragony Thingy-Dingy-Flingy Llewellyn the nineteenth"]]. Almost certainly for comedic value.

* ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'' has Doctor H.M. Phage, T.E, chief physician, radiologist, surgeon, pathologist, pathogen, immunologist, urologist, gynaecologist, reverse gynaecologist, taxidermist, dentist, forensic entomologist, necrobiological reconstructionist, herbalist, fashionist and twin-core husk intersector licensed in all chromatic, material and hypothetical perception zones.
* ''Webcomic/CrowTime'': Edwin's father's full title is "Monsieur Nightmare, Guardian of the Southern Gates, Suzerain of the Marshes of Madness and the Valley of Echoes."

* Back when Libya was the "terrorist bogeyman du jour," as the [[Website/TFWikiDotNet Transformers Wiki]] puts it, ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' had a {{Qurac}} named Carbombya (no, ''seriously.'') Or rather, the [[PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya]]. Its leader, a thinly-veiled LawyerFriendlyCameo of leader of Libya, Muammar al-Gaddafi, was Supreme Military Commander, President-for-Life, and King of Kings Abdul Fakkadi.

* ''Franchise/{{Ben 10}}'':
** Used as a RunningGag with [[TheEmperor Emperor Milleus]] and his daughter [[DaddysLittleVillain Attea]], whose respective lists of titles both are so ridiculously long they usually get sick of it and always interrupt whoever is listing them before they are done.
** In "Alone Together," when Ben and Reinrassic III are exchanging names, Reinrassic proceeds to list all his titles, bloodlines and houses, only to be interrupted by Ben, who decides to just nickname him "Reiny".
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', Patrick and [=SpongeBob=] are pretending to be scientists to impress some of Sandy's academic colleagues, and Patrick keeps insisting on more and more fake titles when [=SpongeBob=] addresses him-- "That's ''Mister'' Doctor Professor Patrick, ''Sir'' to you!"
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' has [[AC:General Yunnan, scourge of the Sand Wars, Defeater of Ragnar The Wretched, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking the Youngest Newt to receive the rank of general in the great Newtopian Army]]]].
* In the introduction of ''Life Of Larry'', Creator/SethMacFarlane's senior project, Seth introduces himself as "Seth [=MacFarlane=]: Associate Production Coordinating Directorial Associate Managing Departmental Divisional Office Supervisor of the International Network Amalgamation Distributor's Corporation Management Organizational Association of Men Who Like Pussy".
