** The subtitle is a CaptainObvious statement.

** The subtitle is full of [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment redundancy]].
[[center:[[/folder]]

[[folder: Murderer of Fatal Death that Kills and Assassinates to Death ]]
]]
[[center:'''Emperor Evulz''']]
** The subtitle is misspelled.
[[center:[[/folder]]

[[folder: Teh tyrent Who sloutered Gosd ]]
]]
[[center:'''Emperor Evulz''']]
** The words are mixed in a way the subtitles don't make sense anymore.
[[center:[[/folder]]

[[folder: The Evulz Who Godded Slaughter ]]
]]
[[center:'''Tyrant Emperor''']]

** When the boss arrives, the subtitle either annoys or crashes the boss. Later the boss gets rid the subtitle before going to fight.
** When the subtitles show, Evulz takes them and throws at them on the heroes.
** The boss simply writes his subtitle on a sheet of paper to scare the heroes.
** Evulz' subtitle is so long that it doesn't all fit on the screen.
** The video game has Boss Subtitles services who provide these to people the same way companies provide résumés in real life. Evulz gave them a big amount of money so the subtitles would make him look the most badass way possible.
** MissionControl tries to write what Evulz insists on calling himself, but EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Some bosses come with subtitles, others don't.
* '''Averted''': No bosses are given subtitles in a genre where it's taken for granted.
* '''Enforced''': The game has minimalist plot and/or minimalist interface, and the subtitles are the means to convey the sheer badassery of the bosses.
* '''Lampshaded''':
--> '''Bob''': "You're going down, Godslayer Evulz!"
--> '''Emperor Evulz''': [[BossBanter "It appears that I'm famous around these parts."]]
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': The Mission Command is purposefully feeding Bob ''wrong'' information via the subtitles to goad him into fighting beings who have never done what their subtitles indicate. Cue Bob's HeroicBSOD when he realizes that he has been duped.
* '''Defied''': Evulz instantly attacks the subtitle, destroying it.
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': "We already know who Evulz is and how he slaughtered Gods. Why do you need an unskippable cutscene which describes him in golden Papyrus letters?"
* '''Played For Laughs''':
** The title is written like this:
[[center:[[/folder]]

[[folder: The Cutest King of Teddy Bears, Hugs and Rainbows ]]
]]
[[center:'''Emperor Evulz''']]
: Alice laughs and lets Evulz know. He angrily demands that whoever wrote that be executed. Then he fixes the title himself, resulting in this:
[[center:[[/folder]]

[[folder: The Cutest Emperor of Teddy Bears, Hugs and Rainbows ]]
]]
[[center:'''Emperor Evulz''']]
** The titles reflect what the currently active character thinks of the boss, resulting in titles like this:
