| 3 | There's a tendency in media to create very long titles full of rare (or [[{{Portmanteau}} fake]]) multisyllabic words that paint a picture of whimsy, fun, and adventure, especially when the work is set in the past. This is almost a DeadUnicornTrope as most of the titles are homages to works that never existed at all. It's often associated with pseudo-Victorian throwbacks and SteamPunk (especially ThoseMagnificentFlyingMachines). |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Not to be confused with CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase, though they may overlap (either by reversing positions in the title or replacing "and the" with an apostrophe-S). A sub-trope of TheXOfY, and may take the form of TheNounWhoVerbed. See also TheAdjectivalSuperhero and InWhichATropeIsDescribed. Compare and contrast ShortTitleLongElaborateSubtitle; one important distinction is that in that trope the long subtitle tends to be more descriptive of the work. |

| 41 | * ''Film/TheImaginariumOfDoctorParnassus'' |
| 42 | * ''Film/TheMinistryOfUngentlemanlyWarfare'' |
| 43 | * Another movie from those wacky late '50's - early '60's days was ''Film/ThoseMagnificentMenInTheirFlyingMachines, Or How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours 11 Minutes''. Possibly the origin of the trope. |
| 44 | ** Of course the success of ''Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines'' (the eventual re-release title) led the director to revisit this trope with ''Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies''. |
| 45 | *** It also lead to the comedic adaptation ''Jules Verne's Rocket to the Moon'' being retitled ''Those Fantastic Flying Fools'' by the American distributor. |

| 64 | * This used to be a trend with German {{Foreign Language Title}}s, especially in TheSeventies and TheEighties. It helped a lot that German words tend to be longer than English words. For example: |
| 65 | ** ''Film/TheBigBus'' became ''Die haarsträubende Reise in einem verrückten Bus'' (''The Hair-Raising Journey on a Crazy Bus'') |
| 66 | ** ''Film/{{Airplane}}'' became ''Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Flugzeug'' (''The Incredible Journey on a Crazy Airplane'') |
| 67 | ** Likewise, ''Film/AirplaneIITheSequel'' became ''Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Raumschiff'' (''The Incredible Journey on a Crazy Spaceship'') |
| 68 | ** Not enough incredible and crazy? ''Film/RuthlessPeople'' became ''Die unglaubliche Entführung der verrückten Mrs. Stone'' (''The Incredible Kidnapping of Crazy Mrs. Stone'') |
| 69 | ** ''Film/QuickChange'' became ''Ein verrückt genialer Coup'' (''A Crazy Brilliant Caper''). |
| 70 | ** ''Film/Zapped1982'' became ''Der Typ mit dem irren Blick'' (''The Dude With the Mad Gaze''). |
| 71 | ** ''Film/TheGreatRace'' wasn't long enough for German tastes, so it was expanded to ''Das große Rennen rund um die Welt'' (''The Great Race Around the World'') which is even more ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. |
| 72 | ** ''Film/LesFugitifs'' is the film which was [[ForeignRemake remade]] into ''Film/ThreeFugitives'' which became ''Das Bankentrio'' (''The Bank Trio'') in German. The original was first literally translated into ''Die Flüchtigen'' (''The Fugitives''), but that was probably too short for German tastes, so it was renamed to ''Zwei irre Typen auf der Flucht'' (''Two Crazy Blokes on the Run''). |
| 73 | ** This often happened to Creator/BudSpencer[=/=]Terence Hill films, especially with "zwei" ("two") at the beginning. For example, ''Più forte, ragazzi'' was prolonged to ''Zwei Himmelhunde auf dem Weg zur Hölle'' which doesn't really translate well into English. |
| 74 | * This trope seems to have been popular in Europe in general, see also the French spy film parody ''Le Grand Blond avec une chaussure noire'' a.k.a. ''Film/TheTallBlondManWithOneBlackShoe''. The Germans just had to translate the title to ''Der große Blonde mit dem schwarzen Schuh''. That said, the [[ForeignRemake Hollywood remake]] was titled ''Film/TheManWithOneRedShoe'' with the German titles ''Der große Blonde mit dem roten Schuh'' (''The Tall Blond Man With the Red Shoe'') and ''Der Verrückte mit dem Geigenkasten'' (''The Madman With the Violin Case''). |
| 75 | * Parodied in ''Film/WaitingForGuffman'', with a shot of a poster for a fictional play called ''Cornelius [=McGillicutty=] & His Truly Amazing Flying Machine''. |
| 76 | * ''[[Film/InventionForDestruction The Fabulous World of Jules Verne]]'' |
| 77 | * ''Les Aventures de Jack Burton dans les griffes du Mandarin'' (literally "The Adventures of Jack Burton in the Mandarin's claws"), the French title of ''Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina''). |

| 116 | * In Creator/TheBBC Four {{Mockumentary}} ''Cricklewood Greats'', the fictional British film studio of the title was finally destroyed (not just bankrupted, but literally destroyed) during the making of the Creator/TerryGilliam epic ''Professor Hypochondria's Magical Odyssey''. |

| 125 | * Almost any Music/CoheedAndCambria album title. (Example: ''Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness'') |
| 126 | * Music/TheBeatles: |

| 149 | * ''Doctor Selavy's Magic Theatre'' |
| 150 | * ''Theatre/TheEffectOfGammaRaysOnManInTheMoonMarigolds'' |

| 158 | * ''VideoGame/ArcanumOfSteamworksAndMagickObscura'' |
| 159 | * ''The Astonishing Adventures of Mr. Weems and the She-Vampires'' |
| 160 | * In ''VideoGame/TotallyRad'', the localized manual is not only TotallyRadical but way verbose with its section headings, none of which are abbreviated in the table of contents. The ExcusePlot, for instance, is headed: "The Totally Rad Story of a Most Unprecedented Regular Dude, a Very Righteous Babe, and a Gnarly Old Magician Who Used to Live in a Most Bodacious Spread Inside the San Andreas Fault." |
| 161 | * The ''VideoGame/ProfessorLayton'' games tend to go this route: |
| 162 | ** ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheCuriousVillage'' |
| 163 | ** ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheDiabolicalBox'' |
| 164 | ** ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheLostFuture'' |

| 171 | ** ''Professor Layton and the Mansion of the Deathly Mirror'' |
| 172 | ** ''Professor Layton and the Seven Phantom Thieves'' |
| 173 | * It'd probably be easier to list the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' works which ''don't'' follow this format. Among the most conspicuous examples: |
| 174 | ** ''[[VideoGame/TouhouYumejikuuPhantasmagoriaOfDimDream Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream]]'' |
| 175 | ** ''[[VideoGame/TouhouKaeidzukaPhantasmagoriaOfFlowerView Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'' |
