History Main / IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming

** ''Animation/MoonCastleTheSpaceAdventure''

* Every issue of the ''ComicBook/ForeverEvil'' miniseries had the title "Forever _____".

* ''WebVideo/{{Brat}}'': While ''Chicken Girls'' had a few episodes in Season 1 that are named after the days of the week, each episode in Season 1 is named after a musical (e.g. "Mamma Mia", "Little Shop of Horrors", "Wicked" and "Bye Bye Birdie").

** The ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'' arc ''The New Adventures of Franchise/BerniceSummerfield Volume 2: The Triumph of Sutekh'' comprises four stories with the title "The <item> of <Egyptian god>" (''The Pyramid of Sutekh'', ''The Vaults of Osiris'', ''The Eye of Horus'', and ''The Tears of Isis'').

* Every chapter except the prologue and epilogue in ''Fanfic/TheFirstSaniwa'' is titled with a ''yojijukugo'', 4-kanji proverb, formatted as follows: [proverb in kanji] – [romaji reading][[labelnote:Example]]Chapter 7: 油断大敵 – Yudantaiteki[[/labelnote]]. Doubles as ForeignLanguageTitle.
* In ''Fanfic/FreakinGensokyo'', one in every five chapters stars the author's [[TheSociopath tetchy]] friend Matt. These almost always have a title in the form "The X with a Y for a Head"; for example, ''The Man with a DIY Railgun for a Head'' or ''The Loli with Legislation for a Head''.

* Every episode of The Future is Stupid, part of ''Website/NickelodeonFanon', named "The (something) is Stupid".

* The long ''Series/ICarly'' fanfic [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5461414/1/Beneath_The_Pale_Moonlight ''Beneath The Pale Moonlight'']] uses song titles for chapter names. The title of the story itself isn't the name of a song, but ''is'' taken from a line in the song ''Save The Last Dance For Me'' by the Drifters (not ''Somewhere Out There'' from the ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'' soundtrack).

** ''VisualNovel/TheGreatAceAttorney'': The first game instead names all of its cases as "The Adventure of [rest of the title]''. The second game then subverts that, with the first case being named ''The Adventure of the Blossoming Attorney'', but all subsequent cases lacking the word "Adventure" in them. They still all follow a ''The X of Y'' structure... except for the penultimate case, which is named ''Twisted Karma and His Last Bow''.

* The Website/GameFAQs Contests had divisions named after cardinal directions, plain numbers, or in the case of two game contests, acknowledging the period covered either through the years or the generations ([[UsefulNotes/TheThirdGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames 8]], [[UsefulNotes/TheFourthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames 16]], [[UsefulNotes/TheFifthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames 32\64]], and [[UsefulNotes/TheSixthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames 128]]). Although most memorably it named divisions with a term related to the top seed's origin - e.g. ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': Hyrule, Triforce; ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'': Zebes, Spazer, Varia; ''VideoGame/MetalGear'': Gear, Snake, Patriot; ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': Chaos, Blast; ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'': Midgar, Jenova, Limit.

A SuperTrope to EpisodeFinishesTheTitle and ExcitedTitleTwoPartEpisodeName (typically taking the "____! _____!!" title format). Compare CrossReferencedTitles for when it's only a few episodes that share both a naming pattern and some internal connection, CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase (if they're used in a series), UnusualChapterNumbers, ThemeNaming, TranslationMatchmaking and TitleDrop.

** ''Fanfic/ThePetricultureCycle'': A lot:

* ''WebAnimation/AnimatorVsAnimation'': All of the standalone adventures all follow this type of formula with each video being titled Animation vs. [Noun]. The "noun" is typically replaced with the title of a video game, but other videos can be something else such as ''Animation vs. Trash'', ''Animation vs. YouTube'', ''Animation vs. Math'', etc.

* ''Franchise/TheLoudHouse'': The stories in the comic book issue ''After Dark'' are labelled with consecutive 12-hour clock times preceding each of their main titles, from 10:55 PM to 6:00 AM.

* ''WebOriginal/{{Brat}}'': While ''Chicken Girls'' had a few episodes in Season 1 that are named after the days of the week, each episode in Season 1 is named after a musical (e.g. "Mamma Mia", "Little Shop of Horrors", "Wicked" and "Bye Bye Birdie").

[[folder: Advertising]]

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each advert is named after a piece of popular culture whose name ties in with the plot. For example, in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRx7yaswdvg "The Hangover"]], Gramophone is drunk after partying a little too hard.

* Each episode of ''[[https://notifirebootyoufirst.podbean.com/ Not if I Reboot You First]]'' starts with the name of the person who suggested the topic followed by a reference to a joke or comment made in the episode. So for example, "Lindsay Plays VideoGame/{{Fortnite}} With Anime/SailorMoon" has Lindsay leading a reboot of the anime and joking about the main heroine's GamerGirl characterization taken to it's logical conclusion in a modern setting. Episodes with mutliple people contributing equally will have both names in the title.
